Woman defends Draymond Green for taking photo with her

Draymond Green picture

Draymond Green was ripped by some fans for smiling in a photo with a fan after the Warriors lost Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday by 30 points. Some felt that Green being jovial and taking a photo meant he wasn’t taking the Warriors’ 120-90 loss to Cleveland hard enough.

Take this for instance:

Though it seemed odd to see one of Golden State’s team leaders smiling after such a beatdown — especially after delivering such a powerful message earlier in the game — we reserved judgement. Perhaps the woman was a friend Green hadn’t seen in a long time, we thought. Well, it turns out that was exactly the case.

The woman in the photo is Ari Washington, a PR rep who knew Draymond from college at Michigan State.

She said the two hadn’t seen each other for years.

The photo turned out really nice:

The irony here is that while many thought taking a photo with a fan showed Green’s lack of heart, it really shows us that despite a tough loss, he can put his anger/frustration aside to be nice to a friend. Now that is the mark of good character.
