Tensions were palpable at a recent Golden State Warriors gym session, where Draymond Greene was caught on camera landing punches on his teammate Jordan Poole’s face.
What caused the fight between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole?
TMZ obtained footage of the fiery encounter between the two NBA championship stars, showing the gob-smacking moment Green lunged for Poole, delivering a death blow that may have knocked his lights out.
The video that’s since gone viral didn’t have audio. So, it can only be assumed the deathly punch may have been the result of trash-talking between two highly competitive sportsmen.
The manner in which Poole’s body slumped toward Green after the clobbering landed suggests, at the very least, he may have sought severe medical attention.
Rumblings of the altercation that took place at the Golden State Warriors’ training ground had already been fluttering across social media days before TMZ obtained the footage.
In fact, The Athletic‘s Shams Charania hinted in a tweet that “there was a physical altercation at Warriors’ practice [on Wednesday] that has the team considering disciplinary action toward Draymond Green.”
Neither of the sportsmen who, according to Yahoo Sports!, have been at loggerheads since the start of training camp has come forward to address the brawl.
From what’s been rumoured, Green is said to have tendered an apology to his teammate. It remains unknown if his gesture was reciprocated, however.
Of course, for social media, this was an epic opportunity to escape with the narrative into unchartered territory. Here’s how the online world reacted to Green’s deathly punch:
