Yesterday we saw post-Game 4 video of Draymond Green dressing down a reporter for getting about halfway through some weird question that appeared to link the flooding in Houston with Golden State's team performance (news flash, it's also embedded above). Green revealed that the off-camera journalist had repeatedly posed the question, and therefore theorized that he was trying to get him to say something controversial. Now, according to Bay Area newsman Henry Wofford, we've learned that that reporter was canned almost immediately after the clumsy exchange:
If you do watch the clip above, it's evident that English isn't the guy's first language. That was confirmed by Wofford who stated he was a rookie reporter from China:
The fact that something may have been lost in translation would seem to make a firing kind of cruel. It's your call. Regardless, if he was trying to cause a stir with his question (and again, who the hell knows?), it would seem that he was successful.
