Amid Massive Hate on Brittney Griner’s Latest Video, Draymond Green Makes His Stance Clear

Controversial WNBA star Brittney Griner will be returning to action very soon. The seven-time WNBA All-Star spent a long time in a Russian prison last year and was the epicenter of media and public attention for the entirety of 2022. Following her release, she is slowly making progress and transitioning back to her normal life. However, the hate against her has not stopped. Ever since her arrest, Griner has received a lot of backlash from different sections despite the NBA and the WNBA community backing her. Recently, Golden State Warriors superstar Draymond Green took to social media to express his support Griner.

Green, who has over 4 million followers on Instagram, recently shared an encouraging message for the WNBA star despite all the hate she is currently being subjected to.

Draymond Green makes his stance on Brittney Griner clear

Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner has been in the limelight ever since her days at Baylor University. She has always been a very outspoken individual which has landed her in trouble more often than not.

Meanwhile, she is back doing what she loves after a long time. Griner missed the entirety of the 2021-22 WNBA season after she was convicted of drug charges in Russia. However, it seems some fans are not eager to see her in action as others. The Mercury star has received a lot of hate in her recent posts about training and media sessions.

This backlash is a residue of Griner’s previously made bold remarks on the national anthem and other pressing socio-political issues. The 32-year-old’s release in exchange of notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout wasn’t well received by many Americans either.

Meanwhile, four-time NBA champion Draymond Green recently set the record straight on Instagram. Sharing a clip of Griner’s media day photoshoot on his Instagram story, Green wrote, “Welcome back BG. Excited for the return of 42.”

Interestingly, Griner announced her return to the WNBA in a similar way to Green and NBA legend Michael Jordan. The WNBA starts in a few months’ time and BG is expected to make her much-anticipated return on the 20th of May.

Griner marked her return with a new tattoo

Brittney Griner has numerous tattoos all over her body. She recently added some new ink to her already existing collection of tattoos. The WNBA star revealed her new 2Pac tattoo and also asserted that there is more to come soon.

Interestingly, while Griner flaunts her beautiful tattoos openly now, she wasn’t allowed to show them during her days at Baylor University. For restrictions such as these and other issues, BG has had a troubled relationship with the University and its faculty.
