Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green has been suspended for Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings after stomping on Domantas Sabonis Monday. Unfortunately, that’s not the first time punishment has come his way either, earning a reputation as one of the dirtier players in the league.
In the wake of his latest antics, r/NBA on Reddit made a compilation video highlighting some of Green’s dirtiest plays over the years, but there were a few missing, including the Steven Adams kick and his suspension in the 2016 NBA Finals.
Regardless, pure entertainment:

Just absolutely uncalled for. There is no question Draymond Green is extremely important to the Warriors, but he is a nasty player. And now, he could be costing Golden State the series because of his actions, with Steve Kerr’s squad potentially looking at a 0-3 hole if they lose again on Thursday night.
For what it’s worth, the Dubs are “livid” over this latest suspension and didn’t believe it was warranted. I mean, Sabonis is now questionable for Game 3 because of it. Plus, the NBA also announced Wednesday that Green received punishment partly due to being a “repeat offender”. This type of thing has happened far too many times before and the league wasn’t going to let him get away with it.
In some world, Green probably thinks what he did was just fine. Sabonis did grab his leg, but proceeding to step on him was simply unnecessary. There’s no other way to put it.
