Overview
- Green wrote “Watch your mouth before I crush those dirty ass kids in your banner” on X in a reply that went viral on Sunday after a Knicks fan taunted him.
- The target was an X user whose profile banner showed two young girls, and the user later posted screenshots and asked if Green’s account had been hacked.
- The exchange came on the heels of Green’s recent appearances as a guest analyst on Inside the NBA, where he had publicly praised the Knicks, increasing the reach of his comments.
- As of May 25 there is no confirmed public statement from the Golden State Warriors or the NBA and widespread screenshots and backlash have kept the post in public view.
- Reporters noted Green’s long record of fines and suspensions, including a 2023 indefinite ban, and say this episode could carry reputational or disciplinary consequences for the player and the team.
