After the game, Green told the media that the fan kept calling him a woman’s name.

The fan spoke with ESPN and claims Green was upset with him for taunting him with the Angel Reese chant.
Sam Green said he was taunting Draymond Green with chants of “Angel Reese,” because, while the Warriors star had several rebounds, he hadn’t attempted any shots.
Sam Green said Draymond Green shouted profanity at him and threatened to punch him out if he continued the “Angel Reese” taunts (a reference to the WNBA star and former LSU player who set several LSU and SEC rebounding records).
“I wasn’t using profanity, and for him to walk 12 feet off the court to come and get in my face like that, it was a little unnerving,” said Sam Green, who was given a warning by ushers but was allowed to remain in his front-row seat.
