The last two games for the Golden State Warriors have been highly controversial, and veteran Center Draymond Green has been a part of both questionable incidents. During Stephen Curry and Co?s last game against the OKC Thunder, Draymond was called for an offensive goaltend during Steph?s game-winning shot. The call was later overturned by the referees, eventually giving the Warriors their fifth win. Tonight, against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Draymond was part of another controversial moment as he was on the receiving end of a nasty low blow from Cavs Center Jarrett Allen.
Draymond addressed the incident after the game and was enraged about no action being taken against Jarrett Allen for turning the tables on him.

The Warriors-Cavaliers game was a disappointing one for the Golden State fans. Not only did Stephen Curry and Co. lose the game, but their veteran Center, Draymond Green, also suffered a painful incident during the game. During the first quarter, Draymond got hit with a low blow by Cavs Center Jarrett Allen while attempting to grab a rebound.

Draymond Green was not happy about Jarrett Allen getting away with the nasty low blow on him and expressed his frustration on Instagram. ?The Draymond Green rule is only a rule when Draymond Green is delivering? Cool? Draymond wrote, sharing the video of the incident. Green referred to it as the Draymond Green rule because he has been on the receiving end of several suspensions and ejections because of similar actions in the past. But Jarrett Allen faced no consequences when he turned the tables on the Warriors star.

Is Draymond Green?s anger justified?
Draymond Green is not the most ethical player in the NBA. He has a long history of dirty plays that have gotten him into a lot of trouble throughout his career. Green?s infamous suspension after hitting LeBron James below the belt during the 2016 NBA Finals is a perfect example of his on-court antics. He has also hit many more players on the court, including Steven Adams and the infamous stamp on the chest of Domantas Sabonis during last year’s playoffs. Draymond has developed a bad reputation because of his frequent unethical actions, and that leads to him getting more severe punishments than the rest of the league.
