Draymond Green somewhat flew under the radar for the Warriors during their 2015 championship run. Not necessarily because of his play, but everything else. He wasn’t much of a factor when it came to extra curricular activities. But that certainly wasn’t the case during their failed quest for a title in 2016. Draymond Green was constantly in the headlines.
That continued even last week when he was arrested for allegedly slapping a heckling fan in Michigan. But despite his recent transgressions, Green plans on staying true to who he is.
“Being me has gotten me this far,” Green said with a smile Monday at Team USA practice.
Green has a pending misdemeanor assault and battery charge stemming from a July 10 altercation with now former Michigan State football player Jermaine Edmondson outside a restaurant in East Lansing, Michigan.
“My attorneys are handling everything,” Green said. “Leave it in their hands, and I got an opportunity to compete for a gold medal. You don’t let any type of distraction get in the way of that. This [is] not about me. It’s not about anyone on this team. It’s about going out and defending our country the right way, so everything else is kind of secondary to that.”
