In a surprising turn of events, rapper 50 Cent took to Instagram to share his thoughts on Draymond Green’s recent on-court altercation. The incident involved Green slapping Jusuf Nurkic in the face during a game, prompting a mix of reactions from fans and celebrities alike.

50 Cent, known for his candid commentary on various topics, expressed his disbelief at Green’s actions while simultaneously declaring the Warriors player as his favorite basketball player. The rapper’s Instagram post read:

“This fool is my favorite basketball player, WTF is wrong wit him. That was a mistake, I will apologize for him. Come on, it’s a physical game.”

The post reflects 50 Cent’s acknowledgment of the physical nature of basketball and the intense emotions that can arise during games. While Green’s actions may have been perceived as questionable, 50 Cent seems to attribute them to the inherent physicality of the sport. 

The rapper’s willingness to extend an apology on behalf of Green suggests a nuanced perspective, recognizing that in the heat of the game, players may make impulsive decisions.

Celebrity reactions to on-court incidents often add an entertaining layer to the discourse surrounding the NBA. In this case, 50 Cent’s unexpected endorsement of Draymond Green, despite the controversial nature of the incident, adds a touch of humor and complexity to the ongoing conversation about the intersection of sports and entertainment.


Draymond Green Is Going To Be Suspended For A Long Time

Draymond Green’s recent ejection, marking the third of the season, has ignited discussions about the appropriate length of his suspension. The seasoned forward for the Golden State Warriors has a history of on-court controversies, prompting calls for a substantial NBA suspension.

Considering Green’s repeated transgressions, a minimum suspension of 15 games is recommended. This proposed disciplinary action takes into account not only the recent incident but also serves as a cumulative response to his consistent behavioral issues on the court. The NBA, committed to fair play and sportsmanship, faces the challenge of addressing Green’s conduct effectively to maintain the integrity of the game.

Green’s latest ejection is part of a broader pattern of behavior that has defined his career. Notable incidents include kicking Steven Adams in the groin multiple times during the 2016 NBA Playoffs and a confrontation with LeBron James in the NBA Finals, resulting in a suspension and contributing to the Warriors’ collapse from a 3-1 series lead.

From physical altercations with James Harden and Bradley Beal to a scuffle with Kevin Durant, Green’s lack of restraint has been a recurring issue. The punch thrown at Jordan Poole during an offseason practice had significant repercussions for team chemistry, impacting the Warriors’ chances of defending their championship.

In conclusion, Draymond Green’s latest ejection is not an isolated incident but part of a troubling pattern of behavior. The NBA must respond decisively to protect the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship. A substantial suspension, justified by Green’s history, is necessary to send a clear message that such conduct will not be tolerated in professional basketball. Upholding the highest standards requires a robust response to ensure accountability for players’ actions on the court.
