Monday: He’s No Angel

Draymond Green gets heckled by a fan.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
If you follow the WNBA at all, Angel Reese is
often criticized for patting her rebounding stats by missing shots
and then getting her own rebound and missing it again,
and then missing it again, and then finally making it
to where she gets three or four offensive rebounds in
a possession and ends up getting the points as well.

(00:24):
Dennis Rodman did that some, or at least was accused
of doing that when he was playing. But the other night,
Golden State was playing a basketball game and a fan
in the stands for the Uh, I'm trying to remember
where this was, but a guy named Sam Green, a
thirty five year old fan.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, this is the New Orleans.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
It was a New Orleans Okay, So Sam Green's a
thirty five year old fan, started doing an Angel Reese
chant every time Draymond Green would either shoot a free
throw or miss a shot. Wow, And I mean that's
kind of funny. It's the expense of Draymond Green. But
Aimon wasn't upset at the reason why the Sam Green

(01:05):
was calling him Angel Reese.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, he just.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Didn't want to be called by a woman's name.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, it's not necessarily your insult in the game. It's
the same concept as like you play ball like a girl. Yes,
it's the same thing. Yeah, it's like whether or not
you you acknowledge Angeuie is a good player not is irrelevant.
It's the fact that you, as a male player being
compared to a female player, that's the issue. Yeah, I
think that's uh. I mean it didn't really work. I mean,

(01:30):
did Draymon even greenish? Did he shoot a free throws?

Speaker 1 (01:33):
He was inbounding the basketball or whatever, and the guy
would start the Draymond green.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
He didn't take those shots, like like step is the
is the free throw guy. But I mean the thing
with Draymond is though, is that, to be fair, if
you find something irritates him, it ain't really hard to
irk him because he gets you get under his skin,
you kind of stay there.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
He admitted it was a good joke at first, and
he kind of got it. But hey, quit calling me
a woman. Come up with something else.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I've been to Madison Square Garden twice and the first
time I went it was part of a two game
trip when we played the Stars played Connecticut, and Andrew
Monico was calling the game from New York, but I
had radio from Connecticut because he was going to do
TV from there, but I was on the trip, so
I'm at in the stands and I can't even remember

(02:20):
some of the things that this heckler was saying, and
we were not anywhere near the court, so none of
the players could ever hear it. Sure, and that was
the second time I went. We were I was court sided,
but the first time we were up kind of in
a corner rafter and the guy never cussed. He never
said anything that was derogatory or directed female to male

(02:42):
or vice versa. But he came up with some of
the most clever things. And I think the heckler that
can do that that basically is like a joke writer
that they practiced their this this well, right, that's some
hilarious stuff. It was. It was hard not to laugh.
He didn't want to laugh because it was at the
expense of your players, but it was pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'm just saying that Draymond Green for years has been
a guy who has been, let's just call it what
it is, a dirty player who talks less smack. He
once called Lebron during the finals. I think it was
the twenty eighteen finals. I'm not mistaken. He called him.
You could hear him on the and the the hot
mic sound. He called him the B word, which I'm
not going to say on air. He called him that
to his face, and then like two years later on
a show together, which I feel like it's super if

(03:25):
you know, if it's Andy You're called me that word,
I'm not doing your show over again. But it's just
the thing is about Draymond is he can take it
any condition. But the thing is like, once you get
under his skin about something, whether it's a fan or
player or whatever it is, it stays.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
I love the highlight where he was trying to grab
and and push Wemby, and Wimby just did a three
sixty spin and he stared him down.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
He said, a little man. He sized him up. He
looked at him like he was his son. That was amazing.
I know, I know Goldal State won that game, but
everyone was. Everyone was laughing at Draymond. Even Draymond Green
to his to his defense is like almost a foot
shorter than when Bet I'm not sure. I mean everyone
everyone inflates and deflates the heights and all that, but
he looked at Lisa foot and shorter, and he looked

(04:07):
at him like it was like your older brother just
dunking on you on those little little kid baskets, Like
what you're gonna do about it? And I love that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Well, anyway, Draymond Green is an underrated basketball player in
a lot of ways, overrated in others. I don't think
it was his stick would have worked in any other place,
but with Steph and Clay and Steve Kurrt works perfectly,
and he certainly helped them get to where they've been
with their championships in the past.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
People are a lot more irritated about his stuff when
they lose. Have you noticed that? Then winning? Youre all
it really does?

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh yeah, if if you can't heckle somebody when they win,
absolutely yeah the scoreboard, shut up and move on, get
to the next game. But if you're if they lose,
yeah you can heckle them all right. Uh, let's talk
NBA and gambling and Day Day Hunter. Let's next on
the tickets.
