Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green will go down among the most notable NBA players in history.
The future Hall of Famer has also dealt with a lot of (on-court) controversies that have led to fines and suspensions over his 13 seasons.
In Game 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Green was called for a technical foul.
Via Bleacher Report: "Draymond received a technical foul after hitting Naz Reid in the face
It's his 5th tech of the playoffs. 2 shy of a suspension."

After the game, ESPN pundit Tim Bontemps called out Green.
Bontemps (via The Hoop Collective Podcast): "This nonsense with Draymond, I'm beyond over it. It's truly embarrassing the way the league has allowed this to fester to the point where this guy just walks around and acts he is aggrieved every second he is on the court while he is committing a flagrant or a technical foul every single game."
Green finished the 117-93 loss with nine points, four rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block while shooting 3/10 from the field and 1/6 from the three-point range in 29 minutes of playing time.
"They single you out because you do stupid things. When you play basketball that's when you're great... You're not the victim here. You do stupid things."
