Draymond Green Calls Kelly Olynyk a 'Dirty Player,' Says He Doesn't Respect Him

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green called Boston Celtics center Kelly Olynyk a "dirty player" during the Dray Day podcast, according to Jordan Heck of Sporting News.

Olynyk was most recently in the spotlight for a confrontation he had with Washington Wizards forward Kelly Oubre Jr. The latter sprinted at Olynyk and pushed him to the court after the Celtics center set a physical screen during Game 3.

The NBA suspended Oubre for Game 4 after the incident.

Anna Horford, the sister of Celtics big man Al Horford, suggested Green's comments may be a "pot calling the kettle black" situation: 

She was referring to Green's history of hitting opposing players in the groin. In last year's NBA Finals, Green was suspended for Game 5 after he swung his arm and hit Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James in the groin during a tangle between the two players.

In the Western Conference Finals last year, Green went up for a shot and became entangled with Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams. Green's leg swung during the play and hit Adams in the groin, leading to a flagrant-1 foul and eventual fine.

Green denied intentionally kicking Adams in the groin. 

Green was also seen kicking out his legs and connecting with opposing players several times during the 2016-17 season. 

Once again on Monday, Green denied kicking opposing players in an interview with Chris Haynes of ESPN:

"I haven't kicked anybody. You kick somebody with your foot, not your shin. I don't know who taught them how to kick if they're kicking with their shin. You kick with your foot. That's what I was always taught. Growing up where I grew up at, you kick somebody, you kick them with your foot. You don't kick somebody with your shin. So, I wouldn't necessarily say I kicked somebody."

Despite Green's denial, it's fair to question whether he's the most qualified player to call out Olynyk's style of play.
