In this post‑game monologue, Draymond Green addresses the controversial ejection involving himself and Devin Booker. He categorically denies that he punched Booker, explaining that a punch requires a closed fist and that he was merely standing on the sideline while Booker shot a free throw. Green describes a back‑and‑forth verbal exchange that escalated when Booker accused him of using a slur, which Green says he was actually directing at Dylan Brooks and Jalen Green. He expresses frustration that both he and Booker were ejected despite not cursing each other, and notes that the incident was captured on the AD Prank Show, highlighting his dislike for “shut‑up texts.” Green also recounts a brief interaction with Dylan Brooks about shaking hands after the game, emphasizing his belief that losers who run to the locker room never win.

Chapters

Let's talk about the end of that game. Obviously Devin Booker and I got ejected. Devin Booker told Scott Foster that I punched him in the stomach, which is a lie. Number one, a punch is with a closed fist. Very obvious I was taking a foul. I was standing on the sideline, Book was shooting a free throw, and I was saying, "Yo Book, I punched you?" And I just kept saying, "So I punched you?" And then finally he was like, "Man, I said I moved on, Draymond." He got a little testy and started making some comments, so I made some comments back to him. He thought I was calling him a choice word, which I was not calling him, I was calling Dylan Brooks and Jalen Green that. What really pissed me off was we got ejected, we weren't cursing at each other or anything. We were talking back and forth. As you can see by AD Prank Show, I don't do well with shut up texts. Ain't no technical foul stopping me from talking. I thought he just did way too much. Dylan Brooks had said, "Yo, you gonna shake my hand after the game, right?" I said, "Absolutely, I'm gonna shake your hand because I'm not you. I'm not a guy that lose and run to the locker room because guys that lose and run to the locker room, they never win." I didn't get the chance to tell them to their face like I wanted to. There it is. Congratulations to those guys on winning a very big play-in game. That was huge. Big momentous moment in their careers. Nonetheless, Book called me after the game. We chopped it up. And we moved on.
