Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green (25) grabs a rebound as Stephen Curry, third from left, boxes out Houston Rockets’ Dillon Brooks (9) during the first half of Game 1 of an NBA basketball first-round playoff series in Houston, Sunday, April 20, 2025.

Amid that chatter, Houston forward Dillon Brooks--the Rockets' elbow-throwing answer to Green--told reporters, "I think the dirty player is Draymond, giving [Thompson] a little push. That's what regular basketball players do."

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is used to receiving criticism from opposing NBA fan bases (see: "F-k you, Draymond" chants during Game 2 on Wednesday at the Toyota Center). But he's probably not as used to receiving it from opposing players' moms.
