"It was a good joke at first, but you can't call me a woman, Green said. I've got four kids and one on the way. He got quiet, though, so it's fine. Green, 35, added that the fan didn't say much else once Green got closer. Though the Warriors star declined to specify whose name the fan was using, the Associated Press reported that the fan, who identified himself to the AP as Sam Green, was calling him Angel Reese."
"The fan told the AP that he made his verbal jab because Draymond Green had several rebounds but had not attempted many shots yet in the game, and that the Warriors player threatened to punch him if the taunts continued. It was a little unnerving, said Sam Green, who insisted that he did not use profanity toward the Warriors' four-time NBA champion. Ushers were seen speaking with the fan after the incident."
Draymond Green confronted a courtside fan during the Warriors' win over the Pelicans after the fan repeatedly called him a woman, allegedly using the name of WNBA All-Star Angel Reese. Officials separated Green and the fan with 2:02 remaining in the first half. The fan told the AP he taunted Green over rebounds versus shot attempts and said Green threatened to punch him if taunts continued. Ushers spoke with the fan but allowed him to remain seated. Coach Steve Kerr said he was not bothered as long as the interaction did not escalate.
