These are times when misinformation floats around without any barriers to obstruct it. Take Twitter for example. It is a space where people can express their candid thoughts with undue freedom. It is a platform where a multitude of conversations take place in the same timeline, somehow never crossing paths. However, the power of speech sometimes leads to fabrication, which could potentially birth ugly fights and tension. It happened recently when Draymond Green believed information spread by an unreliable source. It prompted an aggressive reply towards Kevin Garnett.

In this scenario, words were put into the Hall of Famer’s mouth. The source claimed the Boston Celtics legend had picked a bone with the four-time champion for punching his former teammate, Jordan Poole. But, the information was wrong, and the Big Ticket wasn’t all happy about it.

Garnett had a reputation for being one of the meanest players on the court. His trash talk game was just as good as his Hall of Fame career. The Celtics legend would never back down from a verbal spat, nor was he hesitant in starting one. So when a source – ‘NBA Cental’ spread the word about Garnett’s supposed comments towards Green, they seemed believable due to its challenging tone.

It said – “Draymond punching JP is like a senior punching a freshman who’s half his size and than walks around talking himself up as if he’s like that. Come try me Dray,” 

The Golden State Warriors forward mistakenly assumed it was ‘NBA Central’, a reliable Twitter page that shares regular updates as the messengers of KG’s bold words. So, he replied, and it wasn’t in a pleasant way. Green directed an aggressive tone toward the Hall of Famer, reminding him of one of their heated interactions when they faced off.

While all this happened, Kevin Garnett was of course caught by surprise. After closely analyzing the situation, KG picked up the fraud. He immediately came out with a response, informing Draymond Green that it was indeed a “fake tweet”. The 47-year-old also pressured Elon Musk, the owner of the platform to fix the mess.
