Draymond Green has made the headlines for all the wrong reasons in the past few weeks. Green’s reputation in the league has reached the level where people are placing bets on who will be his next victim. Recently, NBA veteran Robert Horry did the same with the panel on his podcast, Big Shot Bob.

About four weeks ago, Green was suspended by the NBA for his on-court altercation against Rudy Gobert. Now that Green is back with the squad after serving a five-game suspension, the anticipation around his next brawl is building up. Discussing the odds between a few known names, Horry placed his bet on the 27-year-old Houston Rockets star.

On the latest episode of his podcast, Horry said that there are quite a few names that can be picked out of a hat. However, he did discard a few names based on the assumption that the Golden State Warriors star will never go against them for different reasons. The 7x NBA champion said that Dillon Brooks has the highest possibility of getting into a crossfire with Green. This claim makes a lot of sense if you know the attitude that Brooks carries around in the league. He has had issues with several athletes over the years, so the chances of them butting heads increases significantly.

While placing bets on Brooks to be the next victim of Green, Horry and his panel canceled out a few names off the list. One of the players least likely to be on Green’s hit list will be LeBron James. Horry said that the 33-year-old might never go against LeBron based on the fact that he respects the 4x NBA champion a lot. Another name that they canceled out is Gobert. Horry said that the 31-year-old is not the “confrontational type”.

What will get Draymond Green into trouble?

It almost seems like Green doesn’t care about the penalties put on him or the suspensions that he is handed. However, Horry thinks that there is one name that the Warriors star might not wish to go against. He brought up one of Green’s old victims, Domantas Sabonis, to the mix.

Earlier in April this year, Green stomped on Sabonis during a game. Due to this, the NBA veteran believes that if he does something similar, he will be handed a much greater suspension, something that the Warriors won’t be able to afford.
