Over the ESPYs last Wednesday, Draymond Green said that he was “live from LA, home of seven professional basketball teams — and the [Los Angeles] Clippers.”
To some, it sounded like a cheap shot thrown at a franchise who, deserving or not, has found itself at the butt of a lot of jokes. To me, it sounded like so much more. It sounded like a player who has been championing the idea of the “New Media” and who is trying to actively write his own narratives this upcoming season, laying the seeds to do just that ahead of a possible Western Conference showdown.
