Draymond Green Tries To Justify Kicking Players In The Head By Tweeting Pictures Of The Bad Boys

Draymond Green is one of the most polarizing figures in the NBA today.

The 26-year-old Golden State forward plays with as much intensity as anyone in the league. However, that gets him in trouble sometimes.

The Saginaw-native and Michigan State graduate has gained a reputation for play that some would call "dirty" but others call "tough." His signature move isn't a step-back jumper or a windmill dunk like some other players in the league, but an unnecessary kicking motion with his leg.

Green came under fire in last year's playoffs after he kicked Oklahoma City center Steven Adams in the groin. But that's not the only time his feet have ended up somewhere they shouldn't.

Now, Green is in the spotlight again, this time for kicking Houston Rockets star in the face during Thursday night's game.

Later on Friday, Green started tweeting pictures of the famous Detroit Pistons "Bad Boys," almost saying that his play is an homage to that era of the game.

Love him or hate him, it doesn't look like Green is going to stop kicking people anytime soon.
