Draymond Green says he doesn't condone the slap but understands why Will Smith did it. Smith was protecting his wife after Chris Rock made a joke about her health condition. Green separates the act from the emotion behind it.

Chapters

There's so many people that does not have a wife, that doesn't have a fiancée, that doesn't have a girlfriend saying, "Oh, that's ridiculous and you shouldn't have done that." But you also don't know how it feels to share in someone's pain. I'm certain that she's had countless of nights and countless of times weeping, sobbing, hurt about the condition that she's dealing with. Will has lived that. He's lived that. He's listened to those cries and comforted her. And all of the sobbing and crying and things that she's had to endure since finding out that information. And then most importantly, he looked to the side and he saw his wife in pain. So what do you do? Do you just sit idle or do you show her, I got your back? No, I 100% don't condone violence. I 100% don't condone Will Smith going up there, but I 100% feel where Will Smith was coming from. Mm-hmm.
