Draymond Green has no problem presenting his real self to fans, but we’re pretty sure that’s not what he had in mind Sunday.
The Golden State Warriors forward and Team USA member sent social media into a frenzy over the weekend, when a very NSFW image of his nether region appeared on his Snapchat story.
The photo was public for a good 10 minutes before Green took it down. And after realizing his very private photo had just circulated around the world, the 26-year-old quickly went into defense mode by claiming he was hacked.
But Green couldn’t dodge the issue for long. Team USA had a practice in Houston later that afternoon, and that’s where he finally fessed up to posting the picture himself.
“I apologize for the situation. It’s clearly not what I was trying to do,” Green said, via ESPN.com. “It was a situation where it was meant to be a private message. I kinda hit the wrong button and it sucks. It was meant to be private. We’re all one click away from placing something in the wrong place, and I suffered from that this morning.”
The whole situation was pretty embarrassing for Green, but his USA teammates didn’t let him off the hook. The team had a photo shoot shortly after the incident, and Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant appeared to troll the Warriors forward with some rather protective hand placement.
It’s been a rocky few months for Green, and with his Team USA squad set to head to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympics, we’d kindly suggest he put the phone away for a bit. (Unless it’s to film awesome singalongs, of course.)
