An ESPN reporter has let the world know how “sick” he is of Draymond Green.

On Thursday, Green made some controversial comments after the Golden State Warriors’ loss in their West Semifinal Game 2 matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Warriors star got called for his fifth technical foul of the postseason during the first half of the contest. Green’s technical tally is two shy of an automatic one-game suspension.

Green claimed that referees and the media have an “agenda” against him that has painted him as an “angry Black man.” You can read Green’s full comments here.

ESPN’s Tim MacMahon called Green out for the latter’s attempt to “play victim.” During Friday’s episode of “The Hoop Collective” podcast, McMahon went on a furious rant directed at the Warriors forward.

“Go away, Draymond,” said MacMahon. “Shut up, dude. Do not play victim here. Stop doing crazy and stupid stuff. We’re sick of you doing stupid, flagrant, c–p on a regular basis. It’s not an agenda, Draymond. You get break after break, after break, after break, after break. And you keep on pushing the line.

“It was not an agenda to make you look angry when you punched your teammate in the face. It was not an agenda to make you look angry when you grabbed Rudy Gobert and put him in a sleeper hold. It was not an agenda to make you look angry when you punched or smacked Jusuf Nurkic upside the head. … Draymond is full of c–p. He’s so full of c–p his breath stinks.”

Reporters were not the only ones who objected to Green’s claims. Some NBA players have spoken up against the polarizing four-time champion.
