Draymond Green Shares Strong Message After Ejection vs. Cavaliers

In this story:
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected from Saturday night's game vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers, and shared a strong message to his critics on Instagram that read the following:
"I'm in year 12 and yall still telling me to stop being Draymond. Don't get a tech... blah blah blah. 12 years later and yall still trying to coach me on how to be ME? I am better at being Draymond than ANYBODY!! Imagine if I told yall how to do your job. You'd look at me crazy... I thought yall should know how dumb you all look trying to tell me how to be me. If yall had some advice for your own lives the world would be a much better place and you would be FAR better at your JOB than your mediocre outputs. Happy Sunday good people! Right back at it like an addict!"

While Green certainly receives a lot of technical fouls, this one was unique. The officials reviewed the play that resulted in Donovan Mitchell retaliating against Green, and determined that Green should be assessed a technical foul for shoving the Cavaliers star.
This ejection certainly hurt the Warriors, as they were forced to play without their defensive anchor and vocal leader for the remainder of the game. Not looking to change who he is, Green shared a strong message for his critics.
