Draymond Green Confronted by Knicks Fan at Madison Square Garden in Viral Video

Things did not go well for the Knicks in their two home games to open the Eastern Conference finals this week, as New York dropped both games to the Pacers to fall behind, 2-0, in the series.

But hey, at least the Knicks are still playing, and there are 26 other NBA teams that are off on vacation for the offseason. One of those teams is the Warriors, whose stalwart big man, Draymond Green, has been pitching in doing television analysis for TNT's popular studio show.

Green was in New York for Game 2, joining the crew hosted by Ernie Johnson, with star analysts Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith on hand. The Warriors were knocked out of the playoffs in five games by the Timberwolves in the conference semifinals.

During a break from the show, a very adamant Knicks fan was caught on video confronting Green with that fact, and playing on the notion that NBA players typically scoot off to Cancun for a vacation once their postseason run ends.

"How was Cancun?" the fan is seen yelling at Green, who responded inaudibly. "How was Cancun?" the fan repeated, five times, while a security guard backed him into a pole.

The video was viewed 1.8 million times at Legion Hoops, and more via other accounts.

Given the way the early part of the series unfolded for the Knicks, the frustration is, perhaps, understandable. The only question now appears to be whether the series will return to New York, which will require the Knicks to come up with at least one win in Indiana in Games 3 or 4.

The Pacers and Knicks will play Game 3 on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET. Game 4 will be played on Tuesday.
