OAKLAND — On Sunday afternoon in Oakland, Draymond Green faced the media for the first time since his lively postgame press conference in Cleveland, when, among other things, he said he didn’t listen to Cavaliers fans because “they don’t seem to be the sharpest people.”
Green was asked whether he regretted the comment. He didn’t.
Do you ever see the stuff that you say and say maybe I shouldn’t have said that?
Draymond: “Absolutely not. Because everything I say, I know what I’m saying. When I say something, I’ve thought about what I’m going to say before I say it. I never look at something and say, man, I shouldn’t have said that. Because I’m a lot smarter than people think. When I say something, I’ve already thought about what I was going to say. So absolutely not.”
What was the gain in bashing Cleveland fans?
Draymond: “I didn’t bash them. I just gave my thoughts.”
Saying they’re not sharp is bashing them.
Draymond: “They boo me and thought I had a tech I didn’t have, so that wasn’t sharp. I knew I didn’t, so maybe I’m just a little sharper than others. I don’t know. But they played ‘Hit the Road Jack’ and I didn’t have to hit the road, so I didn’t think that was that sharp. Maybe you though that was sharp.
I was looking at the box score.
Draymond: “I was looking at reality. I knew I wasn’t ejected.”
