Draymond Green lost his cool during Saturday's Pheonix Suns-Golden State Warriors game on Buddy Hield. The $8,780,488 guard had an offensive miscue during an intense third quarter, with the Warriors holding a slim one-point lead with five minutes left.
With the Warriors struggling to find momentum after three consecutive losses and 12 in 15 games, the frustrations seemingly boiled over for the team's leader, Green. He didn't hesitate to cuss Hield with the crowd silent as the Suns in-bounded the ball. The Warriors forward told Hield:
"Wake the f**k up, or go sit the f**k down."

While Green's outrage seemed to create a tense situation on the court, it also made for good laughter online for fans watching the game at home.
One X user hilariously revised Draymond Green's altercation with former teammate Jordan Poole. Green had punched Poole during training camp before the 2022-23 season.
Here's what the fan wrote:
"jordan poole can relate"
"Fights with his own teammates more than opposing team," another fan added.
"Draymond is a crashout," one fan said.
One fan called out Draymond Green for lack of accountability, saying:
"Draymond is still living off his 2016 play and can’t take responsibility for his quick decline in every aspect since then."
