Draymond Green is preparing for the upcoming NBA season by participating in the Star Street Battle Tournament in Quzhou, China.

During the event, Green played against a fan wearing a Jordan Poole jersey. Now, Green certainly has had history with Poole, like the time he punched Poole during practice.

In this matchup against a fan, Green shoved the fan during a two-on-two matchup and blew an open dunk. As the fan got up, Green playfully placed him in a headlock.

This clearly wasn’t an ill-will move by Green, but it still is ironic, since the fan was wearing a Poole jersey. Green ultimately is gearing up for the 2025-26 NBA season as he looks to help the Golden State Warriors get back to the top.
