Gordon Monson: The reaction to Draymond Green’s punch exposes a code of silence that should be broken.
Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green speaks during an NBA basketball news conference Saturday, Oct. 8, 2022, at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif.. Green made a statement and took questions from members of the news media after an incident where Green punched teammate Jordan Poole during practice.
When it does go public, a team’s hand is pressured to act on it in a certain way. The NBA also might get involved, complicating matters further.Warriors coach Steve Kerr said: “I’ve been in this league for 30-plus years, I’ve seen all kinds of crazy stuff. When things are kept internally, it’s really almost easy to handle, it’s just so much cleaner and smoother and you can move forward. As soon as things are leaked, now all hell breaks loose and that affects every single player.
Added Myers: “He will tell you he has been over that line but he always comes back. … Nobody is saying they don’t want him around … but [Wednesday] was not a good moment. … I don’t think he likes putting himself in these spots. He is in one, but I think he’ll find a way to earn the respect of his teammates and Jordan back.”
Point here is that basketball is basketball. It can be rough out there. Physicality is a part of the game. But trash talk or not, collisions and confrontations, bumps and bruises notwithstanding, a punch to a teammate’s or an opponent’s bean is so far over the line Myers spoke of, it cannot be downplayed.
