Draymond Green is still standing on his IDGAF soapbox regarding the NBA's flagrant foul rule change for this season. It was in reference to the Flagrant Foul 1 that the officials tagged Green for his kick (or elbow) during his mid-air entanglement with James Harden in Thursday's Rockets-Warriors game, as seen in the clip above.
The Warriors All-Star forward/center spoke to Anthony Slater of San Jose Mercury News Saturday about the officials citing the "unnatural act" flagrant foul rule change to target him. He also stated that he feels there is a double standard in place by which James Harden is not targeted by the officials for what Green cites as an unnatural act as well.
When asked about the flagrant foul rule that he feels singled out by the league for, he further explained how the NBA front office has limited understanding of body mechanics for energetically playing an above-the-rim style of basketball.
Last season, Green finished third in the league in technical fouls with 13 total, and had four flagrant fouls in the 2016 playoffs to boot (no pun intended). He is now tied for ninth in the league in the same category with three, and has just one flagrant foul.
