Brutal NBA superstar and Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green took a shot Sunday night that was so horrifying that even the Warriors couldn't help but mock him. There wasn't.
Green, who has been suspended six times and ejected a whopping 18 times in his NBA career, took a corner kick during Sunday's game between the Warriors and the Denver Nuggets, and it was really bad. So I don't even know if I was actually aiming for it or not.

Green's shot wide open at the corner of what should have been an easy three was probably the worst mistake I've ever seen in over 20 years of watching sports. There is an air ball, and there is also this.

The shot, if you will call it that, was so bad that the Warriors' NBC affiliate posted the clip on Twitter with the caption “Draymond” along with a crying emoji.
Hey, you're so bad that even your team has to admit it. That's strange. (Related article: U.S. national team removes two-time gold medalist for violent behavior from roster after multiple suspensions)
Draymond's plays worthy of suspension
The ball went straight into the hands of a Nuggets player who was standing a few feet from the rim. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was literally a green joke. Because he's a professional athlete who gets paid millions of dollars, and he can't afford to miss out on that badly.

Green scored just seven points as his team lost 119-103. With this loss, Golden State fell to 29-27, falling to 10th place in the NBA's Western Conference. Under the current playoff format, the 7th through 10th seeds participate in a play-in tournament for the final two playoff spots, giving the Warriors a chance to either maintain their current position or earn a spot in the postseason. We need to move up the rankings.

But if Dray keeps throwing bricks like this, it's going to be hard for them to keep up the pace.Maybe this is the karma of all the people you kicked. ball,champion.
