NBA fans are alarmed by Jonathan Kuminga peculiar gesture during the Golden State break.
During a critical timeout in the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Draymond Green, a top player for the team, makes an odd gesture. ESPN recorded the moment on camera during the live broadcast.
Green, who was well-known for his intense rivalry when playing on the court, opened his eyes strangely and moved his lips without saying anything meaningful. He was also seen making unusual finger motions, which led to conjecture regarding the significance of his gestures among both observers and admirers.
Some have expressed worries about Green’s mental health in light of his history of aggressive behaviour and on-court antics, including past altercations and technical fouls. On social media sites like X, there are a lot of theories floating around. Some people speculate that Green’s competitive nature is aggravating underlying problems and making it harder for him to control his emotions in stressful situations like timeouts.
One of the Golden State Warriors’ most important players and a future member of the NBA Hall of Fame, Draymond Green was essential to the team’s four NBA championship wins in a seven-year stretch. But his prior accomplishments have been eclipsed by subsequent developments.
Green’s combative on-court demeanour during the past 15 months has drawn more attention than his defensive skills, casting question on his ability to stay in the NBA. On December 14, the Warriors decided to bring back their extremely competitive leader despite his indefinite suspension. However, Green’s most recent altercation—which was an uncalled-for hit on player Jusef Nurkic on a defensive play—led to the NBA suspending him, highlighting persistent worries about his behaviour on the floor.
February 13 (UPI) — Draymond Green told reporters that he thought his previous 16-game ban benefited the Golden State Warriors “in a weird way,” contributing to both their current winning run and the rise of forward Jonathan Kuminga.
Following the Warriors’ 129-107 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday in Salt Lake City, Green delivered these remarks at a press conference.
Following Green’s suspension, the Warriors, who were 10-14 at the beginning of the season, won their next five games straight. They have won seven of their last eight games, including the last five, as part of their current winning streak. Green returned on January 6. Since his comeback, the Warriors have gone 9-7.
