Warriors forward Draymond Green had an eventful first-round series against the Kings. So eventful, in fact, that he continued to generate headlines even after the series was over.
After a fiercely contested seven-game battle that saw Green ejected from Game 2 for stomping on the chest of Sacramento forward Domantas Sabonis, Green assailed Sabonis on his podcast for failing to shake his hand after Game 7. However, a video from 2018 shows Green espousing a different perspective on postgame handshakes.
Green, interviewed by NBC Sports Bay Area at the Warriors championship parade that summer, recounted then-Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson attempting to shake his hand after Game 4 of Golden State’s sweep of Cleveland in that year’s NBA finals.
