Draymond Green has come under fire for his kick to the groin of the Oklahoma City Thunder's Steven Adams in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals. While many are accusing the Golden State Warriors forward of intentionally kicking Adams, Green says that's not case and that's the truth.
Here's the video proof that Green uses the flying leg kick in various situations and that he wasn't aiming for Adams on the play.
I actually have 140 clips of him doing this..sometimes he kicks when no one is there..random forward..backward kicks pic.twitter.com/gNRuQQWaXS

There's also this play, which is nearly identical to what happened against the Thunder.

The NBA has yet to announce what, if any, extra discipline Green will face. But these clips prove that Green wasn't trying to kick Adams in the groin. Rather, that's just a common act form Green when there's contact on his shot attempt. There was nothing malicious about it.
