Warriors
Draymond Green Records 3rd Consecutive Triple-Double
NBA vows
to take action
The
Golden State Warriors’ power forward, Draymond Green, recorded his third
consecutive triple-double (10 or more points, rebounds, assists) in the
Warriors win against Charlotte last night. Green’s accomplishment overshadowed
the return to injury free play of MVP Stephen Curry, who scored 30 points,
shooting guard Klay Thompson’s 30 points (his 12th game with at least 20 points
in the past 15 tries), the return from injury of forward Harrison Barnes, who
hasn’t played since November 27, and the Warriors 35th consecutive
regular season home game win.
When
asked to comment on Green’s performance, a clearly troubled NBA commissioner
Adam Silver said, “I’m clearly troubled by what Draymond Green is doing, He’s
completely diminishing the importance of the triple-double. I will be convening
a meeting of the NBA Rules Committee at the earliest opportunity where we will
consider eliminating the triple-double as a statistic, substituting in its stead
the triple-triple.” Silver went on to say, “Make no mistake, we cannot have
people like Draymond Green continue to impugn the integrity of the NBA with
these kinds of performances.”
