There are not many players or coaches throughout the NBA willing to publicly discuss the specifics of Draymond Green’s attack on Golden State Warriors teammate Jordan Poole in practice last week.
It should have been, they will tell you quickly and forcefully, a private incident dealt with internally as so many dust-ups in professional sports have been over the years.
None of the other run-ins, however, matched the level of violence Green perpetrated on Poole — it’s often just pushing and talking and threatening while waiting for teammates to intervene — and only the release of leaked video from inside the practice facility escalated the reaction to it.
