Draymond Green Rebuts JJ Redick, Says Steph Curry Gets the Tougher Whistle

His podcast challenge turns a Lakers complaint into a question of focus against Oklahoma City.

Overview

  • Green, speaking on The Draymond Green Show, rejected JJ Redick’s claim that LeBron James gets the worst whistle and said Steph Curry has it tougher.
  • He pointed to career free-throw profiles, with Curry at 4.3 attempts per game on 91.2% and James at 7.4 attempts on 73.7%, to underline differences in how they draw contact.
  • Redick had argued after Game 2 that James receives the harshest treatment for a star and said smaller guards often draw more fouls through theatrics than bigger, stronger players.
  • Green warned that complaining about calls feeds the Thunder’s momentum, calling Oklahoma City a well-oiled machine that swept Phoenix and leads the Lakers 2-0.
  • A social clip of Green’s remarks spread online, keeping the officiating debate front and center as Los Angeles prepares for Game 3 against OKC.
