Warriors’ Draymond Green Got Kicked in the Groin and NBA Fans Had Lots of Jokes

The veteran forward was trending for all the wrong reasons after falling prey to a move he knows all too well.

A cringy moment for Draymond Green was anything but for NBA Twitter on Sunday when fans poked fun at the Warriors star for falling prey to an illegal move he knows all too well.

Green’s unfortunate mishap occurred during the Warriors’ matchup against the Cavaliers in Cleveland when the forward took an errant kick to the groin from Cavs center Jarrett Allen as the two battled for a rebound.

Naturally, the shot immediately sent Green to the ground in pain. Such a scene would lead to sympathy from most people. However, given his track record of similar incidents, taking it easy on Green was hardly what interested NBA fans after the clip went viral.

The sea of jokes expectedly targeted the four-time champion’s sketchy history, which includes hitting LeBron James below the belt in that same building and kicking known tough guy Steven Adams when he was with the Thunder.

With some calling it karma and others irony, here’s a look at some of the barbs below:
