OAKLAND – When Draymond Green walked onto the floor at the Warriors facility Tuesday afternoon dressed up as Santa Claus it as was altogether appropriate.
Green has been the most giving of athletes this season, on the court and off. So when he handed out gifts to Kumar Polk, an 8-year-old Vallejo boy who eight months ago was critically wounded in a drive-by shooting, the youngster’s face lit up the surprise, even as he recognized Green beneath the red Santa suit and massive white beard.
For Green, it was another opportunity to share. After leaving the facility, he headed to a hospital to hand out more gifts.
