Draymond Green had the kick heard around the world on Sunday during game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. The Oklahoma City Thunder took a 2-1 series lead over the Golden State Warriors and all of a sudden the defending champions have their backs against the wall.
In the middle of the second quarter of the Thunder blowout against the Warriors, Draymond tried to sell a foul committed by Thunder center Steven Adams. Green contacted with Adams, the Kiwi dropped to the ground and Green was given a flagrant 1 foul for his actions.
As everyone awaits the possible change in discipline for Green, everyone has voiced their opinions including Russell Westbrook.
The Thunder star said he felt Draymond’s actions were intentional.
"Looks intentional to me"

Westbrook is rightfully standing up for his teammate so his answer comes as no surprise. What might come as a surprise is Green’s response to Westbrook, claiming the All-Star guard is one of the guys who started all the ‘acting in the NBA’.
And added more about what Westbrook did to him during game 3.
To which Westbrook promptly responded that Green was trying to get the attention off of him.

Russell Westbrook on Draymond bringing him into this: "It's normal. It's normal. You want someone to take the heat off yourself."

GET YOUR POPCORN.
If Draymond plays in game 4, this could mean some interesting things will happen between the two stars.
