Draymond Green called Kelly Olynyk dirty and Twitter wasn't having it
When you're known for kicking other players in a sensitive area, you might want to take a pass on calling anyone else dirty.
Draymond Greene, however, does not subscribe to this philosophy, and called out Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk.
"Kelly Olynyk is a dirty player, man," Green said on his most recent podcast. "He's dirty. Dirty player, man. I don't respect guys like that. I mean, I know he's not like the greatest basketball player of all time, so maybe you feel like you got to like do that, but you don't like – just dirty. Like I don't respect that man, he dirty."
The comments did not go over well on Twitter, with users left completely stunned that Green, of all people, would pull the old pot-kettle trick. This meant one thing: The memes were flying.

Leave it to Draymond to act so above reproach playing for GS, that he tries to spin his dirty play into being a tactful veteran. That's rich pic.twitter.com/wVRQcb1pze

Reminder: Green committed FOUR flagrant fouls during the 2016 postseason and ended up getting suspensed for Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
