Draymond Green just can’t control himself.
The Golden State Warriors forward has a bad habit of kicking his leg out when he shoots — one of the most annoying things in basekball — and he often hits his opponents in the groin.
He swung his leg at Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Allen Crabbe in a preseason game on Friday night, and Crabbe was not happy at all. Who can blame him?

Green did this several times in last season’s playoffs, and his over-the-top physicality got him suspended for Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers — a game Golden State lost en route to blowing a 3-1 series lead.
Green better stop kicking his leg out, because it’s one reason why he’s quickly becoming one of the NBA’s most unlikable players.
The Blazers also caught the Warriors doing it again later in the game.

The best way to end these kicks is to hand out one-game suspensions for each incident.
