The Golden State Warriors faced the Memphis Grizzlies last night in the 1st game of the Western Conference Semi-Finals. The Warriors were able to come up with a tough win but the story of the night was something else. Their star player Draymond Green was ejected in the 2nd quarter of the game.
This ejection came as a surprise to many people around the world including Draymond Green himself. Even though he had fouled Brandon Clarke quite hard, it didn’t deserve a flagrant 2, which led to his ejection from the game. After he got ejected, Draymond pulled off a similar walk-off as Antonio Brown. He riled up the Grizzlies fans and stormed off the court while laughing and jumping around the arena.

His ejection was a major highlight of the game, and him leaving the game in a similar way as the former Bucs receiver, brought the attention of everyone in both the NBA and NFL community on Twitter.
Fans react to the exit of Draymond Green
When Antonio Brown stormed off the pitch against the New York Jets, it became a major highlight of the NFL season. Similarly, the exit of Draymond Green against the Grizzlies will be one of the highlights of this season for years to come.
Draymond’s frustration was quite reasonable. As nobody apart from the Grizzlies fanbase would think that his foul on Clark would deserve an ejection. He is widely regarded as the leader of the Warriors, and everyone knows how vocal he can get when calls don’t go his way.

However, Draymond Green’s actions will not generate much clapback, unlike Antonio Brown.

Antonio’s future in the NFL took a huge hit when he stormed off the ground, against the Jets. As a result, he still hasn’t been signed by a any team for the upcoming season. Draymond Green will be looking forward to the 2nd game against the Grizzlies, whereas Antonio Brown will be looking forward to getting a chance to return to the NFL.
