Draymond Green not a fan of Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown flopping comments

The timing and in some cases, the content of recent Jaylen Brown comments have rankled a subset of Boston Celtics fans after the Georgia native took to the airwaves to stream about his whistle vs. the Philadelphia 76ers in their 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs first round series. But it was not just Boston fans and opposing fanbases taking issue with his flopping critiques -- another NBA veteran streamer also took issue with his words. This was of course Golden State Warriors big man Draymond Green, who went on his own podcast to talk about his take on Brown's officiating critique. "As you all know, not a huge fan of calling a guy out once you lost," said Green on a recent episode of his eponymous podcast (h/t Boston Dot Com's Conor Ryan). "I don’t love that because it comes off as excuse-making. A lot of people are trying to say, ‘Aw, man. Jaylen Brown is making an excuse.’ When you, in fact, could be telling a dead-honest truth." "But because you lost, people are always going to say, ‘There’s the excuse.’ So they’re going to make out what you’re saying as an excuse -- ultimately, it doesn’t hold weight," he continued.
