Just a day after confidently naming himself the Defensive Player of the Year on his podcast, Draymond Green might want to hit the rewind button. In the Warriors’ high-stakes regular-season finale against the Clippers, Green had a golden chance to shift momentum in overtime—and missed a wide-open layup with 26.1 seconds left. Yikes.
To make matters worse, the Warriors didn’t foul immediately after the miss, and the Clippers calmly iced the game. Fans quickly pounced, pointing out the irony of a DPOY hopeful fumbling such a key moment. Meanwhile, James Harden dropped 39 points and Kawhi added 33, leaving Golden State to settle for the Play-In Tournament.
Draymond’s defense might still be elite, but the timing of that miss? Brutal. His DPOY campaign just took a serious hit—and Twitter isn’t letting it slide.
(This is a building story…)
