Draymond Green (23) kicks Steven Adams (12) in the groin after Adams fouled him on a shot attempt during the first half as the Golden State Warriors played the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla., on Sunday, May 22, 2016.

Last night in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, Golden State\u2019s All-star performer turned thug as he, for the second time in the series, tried to rob Oklahoma City\u2019s Steven Adams any chance to have children as he kicked the big bloke from New Zealand in the nuts.<\/p>\n

As I posted last night, \u201cactions are stronger than (Green\u2019s) words\u2026\u2026\u2026after over 60 years of watching basketball at every level, that kick was as dirty as I have ever witnessed. Green is as dirty a player\u00a0I have seen in the Association in the past fifteen years. You do not kick another man in his manhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Green says it was not on purpose.\u00a0Really?\u00a0 What\u2019s new with this intellectual thug?\u00a0 As a man, I have never hit someone in the nuts, playing sports, in a fight, or in an act of play.\u00a0 Men just do not do that.\u00a0 They have a responsibility to respect their fellow man, and do what they must not to disrespect another man by doing the dirty.\u00a0 Green\u2019s kick, intentional or not, is something that cannot be tolerated by the NBA.\u00a0 If Green wants to say it was just \u201chis\u201d way of playing the game he need to understand that his day will come.\u00a0 No, Green is a thug and his actions are not needed.\u00a0 Please disagree if you want.\u00a0 If a \u201cman\u201d,let me kick you in your nuts and I bet you would change your feelings on the subject.<\/p>\n
