Draymond Green's playoff stomp and ejection were just the latest for the NBA's biggest villain. Here is a timeline of his controversial moments.

Green has finished first or second in technical fouls five times in his 11 NBA seasons and is on pace to do so again this year. He has already exceeded 16 technicals this season, earning him an automatic one-game suspension.

After the game, Green explained why he stomped on Sabonis.

"My leg got grabbed, second time in two nights," Green told the media. "Referees just watch it. I gotta land my foot somewhere, and I am not the most flexible person, so [my leg] is not stretching that far."

Green later added that the refs explained the ejection by telling him that he "stomped too hard."

Of course, Green is no stranger to controversies. 

According to Spotrac, Green has forfeited $1.3 million in fines and lost salary for all his technicals, flagrant fouls, ejections, and suspensions.

During Game 3 of the 2016 Western Conference Finals, Green's leg swung up and hit Adams in the groin after being fouled on a shot. The NBA fined Green $25,000. 

This was one of several incidents involving Green and a flailing limb. It was often joked that Green only has control of three limbs at any given time.

Green was clearly at the peak of his powers during the 2016 postseason. In the Finals against the Cavaliers, Draymond and LeBron James got into a tussle near mid-court. In the replay, Green can be seen swinging his arm at LeBron's groin as he stepped over the Warriors forward.

The Warriors won that game and took a 3-1 lead. However, after the game, the NBA retroactively gave Green a flagrant foul, which led to an automatic suspension because it was his fourth of the postseason.

The Cavs won the next three games and the championship.

In the second overtime of a game against the Houston Rockets early in the 2016-17 season, Green's leg hit Harden in the head on a rebound. Green was given a flagrant foul that cost the Warriors a chance to tie the game.

Green was called for a foul on the play and, of course, he argued the call. 

Early in the 2017-18 season, after Beal hit Green in the face, the pair wrestled to the ground and into the crowd. This led to an ugly fight between the teams.

Beal and Green were ejected but not suspended. The NBA did fine both players.

Just 67 seconds into Game 1 of the 2018 Western Conference Finals, Green shoved James Harden in the throat area and received a technical foul. 

Near the end of the first half of Game 1, LeBron drove to the basket, and Green's finger caught LeBron in the eye. Many people felt the contact was intentional. Green was given a technical foul, not for the poke, but for arguing the foul call. 

The poke clearly damaged LeBron's eye.

During one ugly stretch of games for the Warriors during the 2018-19 season, Kerr was seemingly caught on camera saying he was "so fucking tired of Draymond's shit."

At the end of regulation of a game early in the 2018-19 season, Durant grew frustrated with Green for not passing the ball for the final shot. This led to an argument on the bench that lasted several minutes, and the pair had to be separated.

It was reported at the time that the ugliness spilled over into the locker room after the game and that the dispute began when Green called out Durant about his pending free agency. That was Durant's last season with the Warriors.

The Warriors suspended Green for one game.

Luckily it missed. Green did receive a technical. 

In 2016, Green was arrested in East Lansing after being accused of punching a Michigan State football player during an altercation. Green later agreed to a plea agreement in which he was fined $650. 

Green left a comment on McGregor's Instagram post, telling him to take the Warriors jersey off. McGregor snapped back. 

After the 2015 NBA Finals in which the Warriors beat the Cavaliers and won their first championship of the Steph Curry-Klay Thompson-Draymond era, Green stopped for a memorable interview during the championship parade.

Green took over the interview with some random statements such as "it's our league," and "they suck," a reference to LeBron James and the Cavs.

After Brooks told ESPN that he did not like Green, Draymond responded by calling Brooks an idiot with a fan-level intelligence for the game. 

"If you ever wondered why the Memphis Grizzlies is not ready to compete for a championship, look no further than this idiot right here," Green said on his podcast.

The next time the two teams faced each other, the Grizzlies won and Brooks used the postgame interview to take shots at Green, saying he should keep talking to help Brooks play better.

"That's what I do, I talk," Brooks said when asked about his message to Green. "I told him... keep doing his podcast, keep blogging, keep doing his thing off the court. It's cute, it's fun for him." 

After the game, Green also accused Brooks of trying to bait him into a technical foul.

Later, when Kyrie Irving seemingly turned down Brooks' jersey in a post-game swap, Green enjoyed the moment on his podcast. He laughed non-stop for about 10 seconds and then just said wow, several times.

Green, as always, says his mind on his podcast. However, in one episode, he called ESPN's Kendrick Perkins a "c--n" for saying he had hoped LeBron James would get hurt before facing Perkins' Celtics in the playoffs. 

After Perkins fired back, Green apologized and held himself accountable, saying he was "wrong" for using the word.

Green and Poole got into a heated discussion during a preseason practice just before the 2022-23 season. After Green approached his teammate, Poole shoved Green, who responded by punching Poole in the face. 

Green was not suspended by the team and it is unclear what discipline he received from the Warriors.

"It's the NBA, professional sports, these things happen," general manager Bob Myers told the media. "No one likes it, we don't condone it. It'll take some time to move through it and move forward, which we will."

It is the NBA, but it is also Draymond Green.
