Draymond Green isn’t here for any Chi Barbie slander.
After the Warriors star’s odd courtside confrontation during Golden State’s 124-106 win over New Orleans on Sunday at Smoothie King Center, Green revealed on his podcast that the mouthy Pelicans fan repeatedly referred to him as Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
While Green admitted he chuckled about the taunt at first after failing to tip in a missed layup several times, he ultimately took issue with the fan using a prominent WNBA player’s name as a diss.
“By the way, to use Angel Reese’s name as a negative connotation, I really don’t like that for a young queen,” Green said on Monday’s episode of “The Draymond Green Show.” “Because she’s done what she’s done to become who she is, and so I really don’t like that in itself.”
Reese entered the WNBA in 2024 as a NCAA champion out of LSU with countless collegiate accolades to her name, earning All-Star honors in her first two professional seasons while leading the league in rebounds both years.
Green added that the fan hurled other “filler” insults at him as well, and he had to shut it down.
“I am Draymond Green, but make no mistake about it, you’re not going to continue to just call me a woman name and add other fillers to where your message, your underlying message, is becoming more and more clear,” Green continued. “And so I said something to him, you know, Hey, man, relax, like, like, watch yourself. Now you’re getting real disrespectful.”

The fan minded his own business after Green got involved and arena security issued him a warning.
And hopefully, said fan hears Green’s message about using a woman’s name to tear someone down.
