Draymond Green took a page out of Brock Lesnar’s playbook this week when the Golden State Warriors faced off against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Despite coming off a lengthy suspension for attempting to choke out Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Green got up to his old tricks on Saturday night.
The Warriors choked away a first half lead against the Clippers to ultimately lose 113-112, but that wasn’t the main story coming out of this weekend. Rather, what folks couldn’t stop talking about in the aftermath of the game was a German Suplex that Green decided to perform on Terance Mann of the Clippers:
Green earned a technical foul for his efforts.
Understandably, given Green’s history, fans had some strong reactions to the move:

In a wild week of NBA that saw a female fan sitting courtside distract the entire Denver Nuggets bench and new details come out about the Josh Giddey scandal, it is telling that Green still found a way to steal the show.
He is just that sort of character.

He carries that sort of weight.
And he is the perfect distraction from the fact that, by and large, the Warriors are playing terrible basketball so far this year.
Will the NBA punish Green for attempting a German Suplex on a Clippers player? Time will tell.
