In a brief interview with sports commentator Skip Bayless, Draymond Green reflects on his heated outburst during Game 4 of a playoff series, which led to a suspension for Game 5. Green recounts using a derogatory term—referring to LeBron James as a "bitch"—and explains that he intended the word as a "fighting word" meant to signal readiness for confrontation. While Bayless praises Green for standing up to LeBron, Green expresses regret over the incident, acknowledging the seriousness of his language and its impact.

when you did lose it for a moment in Game 4 and you did get suspended for Game 5, you became my all-time hero because you got mad at LeBron and you called him a bitch. And I said, that's my guy right there. He can be occasionally a bitch, but that's just me.
It's actually one of the moments I regret. Okay. You know, because when I use that word with people, I'll pull it out every now and then on the court. But when I pull that word out, Like, I'm ready to fight.
I understand.
And so I'm saying this word to you so that you can get ready to fight me. Well, it's a fighting word. It is 1,000% a fighting word.
You were signaling it's time to go. It's time to fight, right?
When I look back on that moment, it's one I'm not proud of, especially with where our relationship is today. And it's one that, like I said, when I pull that word out, all respect is out the window.
