Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green made the best flop in history Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. He hit the bit so hard that he ended up lying on the floor while Los Angeles scored against his team.
While tangled with Clippers center Ivica Zubac, Green not only threw a forearm at Zubac's face, but also had the audacity to call a foul as if he had been assaulted.

Green then fell to the floor in dramatic fashion, completely milking the moment while his team continued to play around him.

Green stayed on the floor while his team missed a shot, dropped to the other side of the floor to play defense, and then returned to his side of the court, where he was still on the floor. Score.
The Clippers then drove down and matched the Warriors' bucket with Green staying level. (Related article: NBA star Draymond Green was fined more for calling a referee cheating than for literally choking another player)
Green was briefly taken to the locker room, but plucked up the courage to return to the game.
Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic, a victim of Green's repeated violent acts, responded to the play by tweeting a GIF soft-calling Green on Twitter.

The NBA suspended Green indefinitely in December for choking Nurkic. However, Green ultimately only played in 13 games before the NBA deemed him eligible to return.
Nurk has plenty of money. He can't take a quick nap every time someone gets physical with you while building a reputation for being the most violent player in the NBA.
