Former Warriors Player Jokes About Draymond Green Trying to Punch Him

The 2018 Golden State Warriors were a truly unstoppable force. After going 16-1 in the 2017 playoffs, the Warriors cruised to consecutive titles, sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.

While they were tested in the Western Conference Finals that year by the Houston Rockets, Golden State knew they could handle Cleveland with ease, and their approach often reflected that. A video of the team prior to their Finals close-out game has been going viral on social media, showing players messing around, including Draymond Green jokingly swinging on Nick Young.

With all of the increased dialogue about Green punching Jordan Poole over the last several days, Young was tagged in the video and asked for his thoughts. Sharing a hilarious response, Young joked about Green trying "that same punch" on him:

Draymond try that same punch with me lol ist something about corner dudes he hate lol https://t.co/B2zTYRuzK3

Green's swing on Young was of course playful, as opposed to when he struck Poole. The incident has become a hot topic again recently after Green discussed it on an episode of Patrick Beverley's podcast, saying, "I don't just hit people. Dialogue of course happens over time, and you usually ain't just triggered by something that fast, to that degree. This is a team, ain't nobody on my team triggering me in an instant. We know stuff that you don't say amongst men. We know things that you have to stand on."
