Draymond Green didn’t hold back while discussing Grant Williams’ tough man persona after the Warriors defeated the Hornets 97-84.

Grant Williams has a history of getting under his opponents’ skin even before he was traded to the Charlotte Hornets at the trade deadline. On the floor, he plays physical defense, is a constant yapper, and never backs down from a battlє. However, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors sees through what he perceives to be the Hornets forward’s petty tough man act.

Williams sparked controversy on Friday night during the Hornets’ 97-84 loss to the Warriors when he got into an altercation with Lester Quinones after the Dubs guard chose to make a layup with 12 seconds remaining to put the game out of Charlotte’s reach. The Warriors were not amused by this in the slightest, and Green chose to use his postgame press conference to launch an extensive tirade against Williams’ pretense.

It’s a bit of a sorє loser situation. Grant Williams needs to quit, dude. For him, this tough man act is not working at all. According to NBC Sports Warriors, via ClutchPoints Twitter, Green is an extremely lovely man. “Dude, you should probably slow down.” You can’t be out here doing that stuff; you want to be the president of the [player’s association] and all that.

Draymond Green, in particular, found it incomprehensible that the Hornets forward would purposefully do things on the floor to make him seem worse. The Warriors veteran, after all, is used to the hate that accompanies being a team’s enforcer and is aware that it’s not necessarily a fulfilling position to hold.

He’s attempting, for whatever reason, to lean toward the dislikeable. It’s not always fun over here, I have to admit. Being the tough guy isn’t necessarily a good thing, Green continued. It seems like your excessive talking caused you to leave Dallas. going overboard. By now, he was saying too much. Give up being such a tough guy.

For Grant Williams, please pray.

It would be interesting to watch how Grant Williams reacts to Draymond Green’s appeal; the Hornets forward, for better or worse, seems to be totally embracing his on-court identity, though it’s unclear how far that will carry him.
