“Got to Stop This Monster”: 7x NBA Champion Vents Frustration on Draymond Green’s “Malicious” Actions

With more rings to his name than most franchises, Robert Horry knows a thing or two about how physical players are in the NBA. So it didn’t take him long to summarize that Draymond Green was guilty of unnecessary violence. After years of on-court antics, the league has finally decided to stop Green from being a threat to his opponents, and the 7x champion is fully on board with it.

“Draymond, he tried to say he (Yusuf Nurkic) was holding him. Every player touches a player when you going out for a screen like that. It was nothing malicious in this instance, but what Draymond did was very malicious. Draymond gotta understand that ‘you do this all the time’. So if everybody does what you do when you holding, you would be on a fighting mat… I said a while back when he punched Jordan Poole. You got to stop this monster before it grows into a bigger monster”, said Horry during a recent episode of the Big Shot Bob podcast.

According to Horry, even when the Warriors‘ power forward got suspended for one or two games, based on how much money Green was making, it didn’t matter to him. Green had gotten used to the feeling that he could get away with anything.

The Laker legend agrees that Draymond Green is a threat to other players in the NBA. Rather than just words exchanged, Green has consistently involved himself in physical altercations. Further, he is almost always the source for the escalation of on-court incidents. This was seen earlier this season when the Warriors played against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

With Green now having accepted that he needs help, he is working with the NBA and the Warriors to complete the mandates that he has to follow, and is hoping to return to the court as soon as possible.

Draymond Green’s suspension is a miracle in disguise

As the timeline for Green’s return is still up in the air, Steve Kerr has turned to the younger guys. This has already started paying off, as Jonathan Kuminga is now on the starting roster instead of Green.

With Andrew Wiggins also having a down year so far, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody have also stepped up. They all now have an elevated role on the team. This doesn’t hide the fact that the team is significantly better with Green in the lineup. But with how it’s going right now, the Warriors are doing their best with what they have.
