Draymond Green schools reporter who compared Warriors to Houston floods

Published Apr. 24, 2016 8:46 p.m. ET

Draymond Green's performance after Game 4 was even more impressive than what he did on the floor to help the Warriors top the Rockets despite losing Steph Curry to a knee injury.

Green was asked after the game to compare the Warriors play to the deadly floods that have hit Houston. Green wasn't having any of it, as evidenced in the video above.

"Draymond here's an interesting question," the reporter said. "Last year you visited us, in Game 3 there was no flood and you won, Game 4 there was a flood and you lost. This year you visited us, Game 3 there was a flood and you lost, Game 4 there was no flood and you won ..."

And before the reporter had a chance to continue, Green stepped in.

"You asked me about the flood in practice the other day," said Green, who finished with 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists Sunday. "I said I pray for the city of Houston because you don't want to see anyone go through that. I feel like you keep trying to get at like us hitting threes or something, and you're trying to get a controversial statement out of me. But you're not because I feel sorry for the people of Houston.

"People are losing their homes, losing their cars, losing their lives, losing loved ones. And you're trying to get a controversial statement out of me about the threes we're hitting. I know what you're getting at, but you're not getting that out of me. It sucks. If I was from Houston I'd do anything I can to help the city out, and I'm sure those guys are gonna do what they can to help the city out. You saw a donation the other night.

"It sucks. Stop trying to do that. That's not cool man. You keep asking me the same question about this flood. These people are losing their lives. Losing their homes. Don't ask me that no more because it ain't cool. You're not getting the statement you want out of me. That's not cool man. Stop doing that."

Bravo, Draymond. Bravo.
