Draymond Green explains why he’s against Joe Mazzulla’s idea to bring fighting back to the NBA

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and former NBA star Baron Davis discussed Joe Mazzulla’s comments about wanting to bring fighting back to the NBA during a recent episode of Green’s podcast “The Draymond Show.”

Green, who has drawn attention by collecting numerous fines on physical and sometimes controversial plays, disagreed with Mazzulla’s take. Green also served a 12-game suspension last season for striking Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face.

He said that fighting almost led him down a path he is trying to avoid.

“One thing I would say to Joe Mazzulla is fighting would have you out of this league, bro,” Green said.
