Draymond Green’s build-up to the Olympics remains less than ideal. On Sunday the Golden State Warriors star, who will be representing the US at the Rio Games, was forced to apologize after he posted a picture of his penis on social media.
He told reporters that he had pressed the wrong button on Snapchat, posting the photo in error, and said the image had meant to be “private”.
“We’re all one click away from placing something in the wrong place,” Green said. “I suffered from that this morning.”
He had initially claimed his account had been hacked.
Hacked..... Can't win right now

Earlier this month, Green avoided jail time after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors following his arrest for slapping an MSU football player in East Lansing, Michigan. The terms of the deal mean Green, who had faced a charge of misdemeanor assault and battery, will pay a $500 fine and $60 restitution fee for a civil violation.
“I truly believe we all go through points in our life that help propel us to the next level,” Green told ESPN on Sunday. “I’m at the stage right now where all this stuff will help propel me to the next level as a basketball player, but more importantly as a man. I don’t live my life with regrets.”
Team USA are huge favorites to win the gold at this summer’s Olympics. Green will play alongside his Warriors team-mates Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant as the States attempt to secure their sixth victory in the last seven Olympics.
