Draymond Green said that he refuses to change “the way I play basketball” despite the NBA announcing that his Flagrant Foul 2 in Game 1 will not be downgraded.
“I am never going to change the way I play basketball,” Green said on Monday. “It’s gotten me this far. Gotten me three championships, four All-Stars, Defensive Player of the Year. I’m not going to change now.”
Players who pick up more than three Flagrant foul points will earn an automatic one-game suspension.
Green added that he will remain aggressive despite the potential for suspension.
“It will absolutely not take the bite out of the way I play,” Green said. “Because then we go home early, and the [flagrant] points don’t matter anymore. I don’t know how to take bite out. That doesn’t work for me.”
