Draymond Green calls Kelly Olynyk a "dirty" player

[mahonedog88]

There's two main things to take away from this Draymond quote...

1 - Kelly and his teammates can deny all they want about him being a dirty player, but players around the league think he's dirty.  That's just a fact.  If you look close enough and listen close enough to stories and quotes from players around the league, he's absolutely considered dirty amongst his contemporaries.

2 - Draymond Green has clearly detached himself from reality.  If he had said "yeah he's a dirty player" and then just left it at that, then I think the quote isn't that big of a deal.  But the fact that he called Olynyk a dirty player AND said he had no respect for guys like that...when this dude has a legit full-on issue with kicking guys in the nuts...that's just so unbelievable hypocritical that it's laughable.

Who's next to criticize?  D-Wade.

Assertion without argument.

Unless this is backed up by data it is simply one person's opinion.

If it is a fact, prove it.

Do you have a study where people are asked in a controlled setting whether each NBA player is dirty?

Anecdote is not the plural of data.

NBA thinks KO is a dirty player.

Celtics fans think KO is soft.

...both can't be true.

I've laughed harder over this thread than any in Celtics Blog history, including the Anna Horford mic-drop moment.

one of the softest Celtics I can remember.

he is clumsey and gets in the way of himself and plays .

flopping and dirty are two differnt things.

green is not smart enough to know the difference .   small IQ

[BE-Celtic]

Haha ! I Jumped here when i read about it.

I lost the little bit of respect I still had for him as a player.

What a son of a b****. Guy kicks people in the jewels, trash talks the crowd and gives lessons around the league.

I'm seriously pi**ed by the Golden State Warriors players who think they are above everyone else.

And of course, I wish from the botton of my heart they fail in their quest for the title this year.


...aaaah feels good to say it !

Woops, sorry Al! Lol. I remember his wife tweeting before and assumed it was her. Solid sister, though.

Draymond is a very classy player, highly regarded and respected in the NBA world so I am SURE his assessment on a "dirty player" fits the description perfectly.

[Ed Hollison]

This whole thing is a problem, because the more people say it, the more it becomes entrenched as truth around the whole NBA community, regardless of its actual merit. At this point, I think this thing is going to follow Kelly around his whole career.
