The tension between Draymond Green and Grant Williams came to the forefront once again after the Golden State Warriors' 97-84 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday at Chase Center. A late-game altercation between the two teams sparked a verbal onslaught from Green directed at Williams during the postgame press conference.
The incident occurred in the closing moments of the game when Warriors guard Lester Quinones attempted a layup with just over 12 seconds remaining in regulation. Hornets wing Miles Bridges, taking issue with the shot attempt which he goaltended, shoved Quinones, leading to a scuffle on the court.
As the players tangled near the Warriors' bench, Green, who had been substituted out of the game earlier, didn't hold back when asked about the altercation during his postgame remarks. Green criticized Williams for his role in the scuffle, spending more than three minutes dissecting Williams' behavior.
"I don't really understand why people get so mad at like somebody scoring at the end of the game," Green told reporters. "It's like this dumb unofficial unwritten rule that everybody gets mad about. Like if y'all were winning by 13 points, would you get mad if he laid the ball up? I doubt it. And so it's kind of like a sore loser type thing."
Green continued, expressing his disappointment with Williams' behavior: "Grant Williams got to stop it, man. He can't keep being this tough guy. It's going absolutely wrong for him. Like he's a really nice guy and, for some reason, he keeps trying to jump on the unlikable side."
The Warriors forward also referenced Williams' aspirations within the Players Association: "You want to be the president of the Players Association and stuff, man. You can't be out here doing all that stuff. You don't see CJ McCollum running around being a tough guy."
Green's critique of Williams extended beyond the on-court altercation, touching on strategic decisions and past confrontations between the two players: "I don't know what Grant Williams out here doing, man. He getting into it with everybody this year... I'm really sick of guys with this like, 'Oh you scored at the end.' Like bro, you should have did that a long time ago."
The history between Green and Williams dates back to the 2022 NBA Finals, where the two players clashed multiple times during the Warriors-Celtics series. The tension persisted during subsequent events, including the 2022 ESPY Awards show, where host Steph Curry jokingly taunted Williams.
