Stephen Curry and LeBron James gave us another classic chapter in their legendary rivalry on Christmas Day. The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors, 115-113, on a driving layup from Austin Reaves in the final seconds, which capped an incredible shootout between the two legendary veteran superstars.
Draymond Green’s wrestling move took down 2 Lakers, and he acted like it wasn’t a foul
Draymond Green was up to his usual tricks on Christmas.
Ricky O'Donnell has covered basketball at all levels for more than a decade at SB Nation. He’s currently the Associate Director of Programming.
As Curry and James put a show for basketball fans around the world, one of the biggest storylines after the game was still the shenanigans of Draymond Green.
Early the fourth quarter with Jonathan Kuminga at the foul line, Green was called for a loose ball foul when he took down Lakers players Dalton Knecht and Rui Hachimura at the same time. This looked straight out of WWE: Green grabbed both their arms and fell to the floor, dragging them down with him in the process. It’s a clear as day foul to anyone with eyes, yet Green still took up his grievances with the officials after they blew the whistle.
Watch the play here:
Green was already called for a technical foul earlier in the game, and earned nothing but a common foul for this move.
We’ve been seeing Draymond channel pro wrestling for his on-court antics for years. From kicking Steven Adams in the groin to putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold to hitting Jusuf Nurkic in the face on “accident” to hitting teammate Jordan Poole in the face on purpose, Green continues to stay up to trouble without ever learning his lesson.
NBA fans watching the game couldn’t help but laugh at Green’s latest antics.
LeBron and Steph were amazing, but Green still has it in him to steal the show.
