Warriors' Draymond Green: NBA Players Are 'Vulnerable' in Interactions with Fans

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green believes athletes are in tough spot when dealing with hostile fans.

After Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry was shoved by a fan sitting courtside during Game 3 of the 2019 NBA Finals on Wednesday, Green said Thursday that players are "vulnerable" in such situations, per ESPN.com'sNick Friedell:

"I think players are definitely vulnerable. Any time you're in a situation where you can do no right, like in defending yourself, you're vulnerable. So if a fan says whatever they want to you and then you say something back, you're fined.
