Athletes typically have canned responses ready for just about every question because they answer roughly six million of them every day. That makes the rare occasion when a player like Draymond Green comes along that much more special.

“We definitely should have lost, and it was all my fault,” Green said. “I was selfishly unselfish, if you know what [that] means. And so we started turning the ball over, due to my self[ish] unselfishness, and it was all downhill from there. In other words, I was chasing a triple-double. Coach came to me at halftime like, ‘You better get it in this third quarter, ‘cause you ain’t playing in the fourth,’ and it was all downhill from there. So definitely my fault, what went on tonight. Good thing we were able to get the win. Only right I was able to make a play after causing us to be in that position.”
Someone taking the blame for how a game went certainly isn’t new, but someone explaining exactly what happened and in such an honest way definitely is.
