Draymond Green has joined the long list of pop culture figures to have been rendered in Lego. The Golden State Warriors forward, however, probably won’t appreciate which moment of his was immortalized in plastic.
Green was suspended indefinitely earlier this month for striking Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic during a Dec. 12 Suns-Warriors game ( video here).
Los Angeles-based videographer Grant Giszewski recreated the moment in Lego form using the 3D graphics software tool Blender. Here’s the final product:
The short clip has garnered millions of views on social media since Giszewski uploaded it to his Instagram account last week.
Green has missed the Warriors’ last 6 games since his most recent suspension was imposed.
The former Defensive Player of the Year’s absence hasn’t hurt the Warriors in the standings. Golden State has won five straight games without Green entering the team’s Christmas Day clash against the Denver Nuggets.
The NBA explained last week its decision to keep Green’s suspension open-ended. With the Warriors winning without him, there’s even less pressure on Green to rush his way back to the court.
