Draymond Green explains hilarious NSFW chirp at elderly Nets superfan Mr. Whammy originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Draymond Green rarely turns down a chance to trash talk opposing players.
Or sometimes — as was the case in the Warriors’ 120-107 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night — opposing fans.

In the third quarter, Green was at the line for a pair of free-throw attempts. That’s when 89-year-old Nets superfan Bruce Reznick, a.k.a. Mr. Whammy, stood up behind the basket trying to distract the Warriors star.
After making his first free throw, Green walked towards the baseline and pointed at Mr. Whammy, who was recognized by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in October for his well-known fandom.
“Sit your old ass down!” Green yelled, before backing it up with another make on his second attempt.
After the game, Green was asked about the humorous interaction, which had caused a stir on social media.

“Can’t be distracting me on my free throws, man. Go sit down somewhere,” Green told reporters with a laugh.
“That was fun. I had a lot of fun tonight.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the notoriously outspoken star has made headlines for his interactions with opposing fans.
But this occasion seems to have been all in good fun, though Green eventually did miss a free throw at that end of the court later in the game. So we’ll call this round a 1-1 draw between Mr. Whammy and Green.
