NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal gave his take on Draymond Green’s flagrant 2 foul on Domantas Sabonis in Game 2 of the first round series.
While agreeing that it was a dirty play by the Warriors forward, Shaq also said that Green did not have many options in that situation since Sabonis held his leg.
“One bad play begets another bad play… I’m not going to sit up here and be a hypocrite. I’d do the same thing, I really would,” the four-time NBA champion said on TNT.
“Don’t be grabbing me because what am I gonna do? If I stay there and just try to run forward, I’ll fall. You got to get him above you. And if you’e above and if you’re in the way, you might get stomped on. Was it a dirty play? Of course it was a dirty play.”
