Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green’s latest revelation about his mom confirms that Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton’s dad is not the only one to have embarrassed him in a houseful stadium during a match. Green has revealed his mom, Mary Babers-Green, not just criticizes the opponent team but also his team—and the one who faces her extreme wrath is Green himself.

Draymond Green on his mother’s trash-talking habit

During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Draymond Green revealed, "My mom, since I was a child, has been the mom who, like, from the stands, she yells, ‘You suck!’ But the thing about my mom is she talks bad about all the players on my team. She kills them. But she absolutely annihilates me.”He also gave examples of how his mom would snap at others’ kids, but they wouldn’t mind her words upon realizing how she treats her own kid in public. “I’ve always heard the stories where in the beginning a parent would almost want to get snappy at her and as they continue to watch, they realize how badly she talks about me. They’re just like, ‘Oh, that’s not a problem what she’s saying about my kid,'" he said.

Giving another example of how she would get upset when he would object to her, Green revealed, “When I was younger I could always hear it because the gyms were smaller, and I used to sometimes turn around and be like, ‘Ma, stop!' She wouldn’t talk to me for days after I did that.
She’d be mad at me as if I did something wrong.”Green often finds himself in controversy over his verbal remarks. Before the Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs, Draymond Green was fined $50,000 by the NBA after a video showed him "making an inappropriate comment that questions the integrity of game officials."Also Read: Draymond Green shrugs off age concerns after Golden State Warriors eliminated by Minnesota Timberwolves: “We will get older”This year, Green averaged 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game in the regular season.
