Reporter asks Draymond Green if the floods had an impact on the game (UPDATE: Reporter fired)

Nice reply from Draymond *but* I don't think the dumb reporter was trying to create controversy. I think he is just genuinely dumber than a bag of hammers.

 

Yeah, I think he was just trying to come up with a "funny hook," but ended up with "tasteless."

 

Who was the reporter?

 

as unbelievably annoying as green is on the court, he does give good post-game interviews. when he's actually calm and just talking.

 

Yeah, Green pisses me off on the court when he's going against the Rockets, but he's really good at the game, I wish Houston could get a player like him... Also great response by him on the floods, a lot more important **** than basketball. The reporter was way off base.

 

He's basically the Richard Sherman of the NBA. Well spoken, good interview

 

Great comparison.

 

Pretty amazing that he can call a ref a f'n ***** and gets a pass, but now he's this great guy because he said this...

I think the reporter is just naive and doesn't understand he's doing anything wrong or annoying. Draymond thought it was a splash bros reference, but it sounded like he was just going to ask about coincidences and superstition.

 

Nothing negative to say about the classy way in which Dray handled that situation. It's easy to hate the Warriors, but ******* do I respect them.

 

Golden State is filled with high IQ basketball players paired with a high IQ head coach...something the Rockets currently DONT have...

 

Watched the Rockets-Warriors series last year on CCTV 5 (I was working in Shanghai at the time), and I swear the guy's voice sounds like the same one that conducted an awful post-game interview with Draymond last year...

Edit: Just to clarify, the interview was in English because Draymond obviously doesn't speak Chinese

 

Their scared of a discrimination suit coming if they fire him.

 

I'm still confused as to how people know what the reporter was asking...is there a clairification somewhere? They lost last year during the flooding...lost again this year...so how does that equate to the reporter wanting Draymond to say they were raining down threes or something? Yes, they made their threes tonight..but the peak flooding was almost a week ago..

 

Double-up respect level.

Sad to see how west is turning into dumbness-driven world where you can't call out or fire a dumb ass reporter anymore, so you wouldn't "hurt his feelings".

 

Maybe he was asking about the flood of sweat from DMo's Jersey which caused Curry to slip and injure his knee.

 

Yeah that was a great response, respect!

 

I loved the way he handled that question

 

Yeah, i'm not sure based on that if the reporter was trying to make that connection? English isn't even his first language so he may have been phrasing it wrong.

Still though, Green is pretty respectful in front of the press and says all the right things. If you didn't watch the game he just played in you'd think he was a stand up guy. Always complimenting the opponents and talking them up and what not. So I'm going to take his side on this if it's true the reporter keeps asking him the same question.

 

This. If he said the idiot tried to ask him the same question after practice, I'm inclined to believe he was trolling for a clickbait response. Dumbass reporter. His press credentials should be revoked ASAP.

 

Yeah, that guy did suck. Seems to annoy the interviewees often.
