Draymond Green not a fan of Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown flopping comments

The timing and in some cases, the content of recent Jaylen Brown comments have rankled a subset of Boston Celtics fans after the Georgia native took to the airwaves to stream about his whistle vs. the Philadelphia 76ers in their 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs first round series. But it was not just Boston fans and opposing fanbases taking issue with his flopping critiques -- another NBA veteran streamer also took issue with his words.

This was of course Golden State Warriors big man Draymond Green, who went on his own podcast to talk about his take on Brown's officiating critique. "As you all know, not a huge fan of calling a guy out once you lost," said Green on a recent episode of his eponymous podcast (h/t Boston Dot Com's Conor Ryan). "I don’t love that because it comes off as excuse-making. A lot of people are trying to say, ‘Aw, man. Jaylen Brown is making an excuse.’ When you, in fact, could be telling a dead-honest truth."

"But because you lost, people are always going to say, ‘There’s the excuse.’ So they’re going to make out what you’re saying as an excuse -- ultimately, it doesn’t hold weight," he continued.

"I feel like you end up wasting one of your bullets because it doesn’t hold weight anyway because you lost, and people just charge it to, ‘Aw, man. He only saying that because he lost. Would he have said that if he won?’," added Green.

"Honestly, you don’t know the answer because he didn’t win. I’m always very skeptical about saying things like this after a loss just because people take it and do what they want to do with the statement. Make it out to be what they want to be."
