Here we go again with Draymond Green doing something dirty.
There’s a history of this — we were JUST talking about the Domantas Sabonis chest stomp earlier this year! — and in this case, once again, it was something unnecessary and dangerous.
As Jaden McDaniels and Klay Thompson went at it in a fracas, Green jumped in — like, literally, you can see him jump — and wrapped his arm around Rudy Gobert’s neck. Then, WWE-style, he uses the other one for a headlock for a few seconds.
Call it a headlock. Call it a chokehold. Whatever you call it, it wasn’t necessary. I’d say that’s one game for escalation, two or three for doing something egregiously dangerous along with Green’s history.
Draymond Green should be suspended. This is the type behavior the NBA should be punishing. Not players flexing after a poster dunk. pic.twitter.com/RzeALrNj55

He could have pulled Gobert away another way, right? C’mon.
