The regular NBA season is almost over and with the post-season right around the corner, NBA games are picking up the heat! The most recent matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans had a similarly exciting experience. The game had you on the edge of your seat through each quarter. The Dubs emerged victorious at the end with a massive comeback after a slow start. After the game ended, Draymond Green won the hearts of fans with a heartwarming gesture off-the-court despite getting blasted for his actions on the hardwood.
The Dubs victory is not the only thing Green is making the headlines for. At the post-game press conference, the star defender sat down with his daughter and his beautiful gesture to her has fans holding him up as a great father.

After being on the receiving end of hustling from the fans, the response to this video must have given the Dubs star some respite. Draymond sure is setting an example for others. While this helped him recover from the recent backlash, Dubs fans had a lot to see to him after his comments on the game spread through the Internet. In the recent game, the Warriors had a slow start, being 20 points behind the Pelicans at one point in time. Even an emotionally charged Draymond Green was subbed out in the second quarter due to the coach wanting to avoid a possible altercation on the court.

?While being on the bench, Green kept motivating and boosting his teammates’ morale. It seemed like the confidence bump from the sidelines was what turned things around for the Dubs. Even coach Steve Kerr said “Draymond willed us to victory tonight.”
After the game, Draymond made a statement while talking to TNT’s Chris Haynes. He said “It take a real one to talk when you down 20…I was able to get my guys going, and then they started doing what they do, and I can do what I do.?
But this statement did not sit all too well with the fans on Twitter. While most fans were loving the fatherly side of Draymond, there were also some lambasting him for his cocky words after the Pelicans’ game.?
Here are some of the fan reactions!
Sweet Daddy 😍 and shes happy that dray brought the chair for her.
