After the game, Draymond sat down for a Q and A session with the media and his daughter was there with him on the podium. The little one wanted a chair of her own, and Daddy Draymond could not help but rush off to get a chair for her.?

Not only was he the perfect gentleman for his daughter but everyone saw the cutest exchange between the father-daughter duo. The little moment had everyone going gaga over them, saying “what a great dad” he is. Here’s the cuteness-overloaded moment.

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.
