Bucks fan disputes saying ‘threatening stuff’ to Warriors’ Draymond Green
Draymond Green claimed a fan said “threatening stuff” to him in Milwaukee on Tuesday. The fan tells a very different story.
Mike Shane, a Bucks fan, was ejected from Fiserv Arena in the third quarter of Milwaukee’s 128-111 win after the Warriors star complained to referees. According to Shane, it was run-of-the-mill trash talk and Green simply couldn’t handle it.
“I said, ‘Draymond, we giving you a pass.’ He said, ‘What pass?’ I said, ‘Man, we giving you a pass.’ He said, ‘You ain’t s–t. What pass?’ I said, ‘Man, we giving you a pass,’” Shane said on the “KJ Live” podcast. “Evidently, he was ready for it. He was waiting for that to happen. He blew it out of proportion, actually. I don’t know how he could take that as a threat.”
Shane claims he engaged the former Defensive Player of the Year as retribution for punching Jordan Poole, Green’s teammate and a Milwaukee native.
“I was speaking up for the city of Milwaukee,” Shane said. “Basically telling him, like, we’re giving you a pass. We haven’t forgotten about what you did — a big bully — and we’re giving you a pass.
“We forgive you.”
Green’s half of the exchange was caught by TNT cameras, though Shane — who collected numerous high-fives on his way out of the arena — had witnesses in his corner.
“There was two police officers who were actually right there,” he said. “There was a police officer and the league security who came back there and vouched for me. They were right there and said I didn’t use any profanity, I didn’t say anything malicious.”
The Bucks reportedly sided with the fan, refunding his ticket and offering him courtside seats for a future game.
Green, meanwhile, was ejected from Wednesday night’s loss the Pacers.
