Unable to tolerate such an insult from Poole, the 4-time champion landed a punch in his face.
When Poole began his NBA journey with the Dubs, it was Draymond who had taken his responsibility. However, things changed drastically after the fight. When the franchise signed the youngster for a four-year deal worth $123 million, Green couldn’t present to celebrate his big moment with him as he was aware of the damage that had already happened.
Besides discussing past incidents on the podcast, the 34-year-old also talked about the Warriors’ future in one of the episodes.
