Draymond Green goes for Steve Adams balls.
The referees in the NBA will be keeping a close watch on the kind of hits to the groin area that resulted in Draymond Green's suspension during the NBA Finals.
Surely, this guy likes the balls area.
It's no news now that the Warriors power forward hit the groin area of two players during last postseason, Steven Adams of OKC and Lebron James of the Cavs. Perhaps, he could be responsible for causing the league to take this action.
The hits to the groin area have been termed "unnatural acts" by the league and were a point of emphasis during the NBA referees preseason meetings and training camp this week.
The NBA senior Vice President of replay and referee operations, Joe Borgia, said players are no longer just swinging their arms in attempt to draw a foul when taking a shot.
"Now all of sudden legs are coming out in different directions at weird times, they are coming higher,"
He said:
"Well, for the protection of players, we're going to stop it."
Guess we can credit Green for making the jobs of the NBA referees more difficult.
