NextImg:Draymond Green embroiled in ‘Cancun’ feud with Knicks fan in wild Garden scene

Chirp at Draymond Green at your own peril.

One fan at Madison Square Garden learned the hard way Friday when Green, serving as a TNT analyst for the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and Pacers, snapped back at a heckler for mocking the Warriors’ playoff ouster.

“Cancun! Cancun! How was Cancun?” a fan asked Green as the Knicks dropped Game 2 at The Garden, 114-109.

“Can you afford to go?” Green responded in footage currently circulating around X.

The 6-foot-8 Green was part of a Warriors squad that had title aspirations this season after acquiring former Heat star Jimmy Butler at the NBA deadline.

The Warriors, who last won an NBA championship in 2022, were eliminated in five games by the Timberwolves in the second round.

Golden State was without star Steph Curry for much of the series after he sustained a hamstring injury in Game 1.

Green, who put up the third-most technical fouls in the NBA (18) in 2025, has never been one to mince words.

He lashed out against an “agenda” that paints him as an “angry black man” following the Warriors’ Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves this month, when he also experienced “racially charged comments” aimed at him by a spectator.

“Looked like the angry black man. I’m not an angry black man,” Green said. “I’m a very successful, educated black man with a great family, and I’m great at basketball and great at what I do.

“The agenda to keep trying to make me look like an angry black man is crazy. I’m sick of it. It’s ridiculous.”

The Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference Finals are are currently down 2-1 to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Green, a four-time NBA champion and four-time NBA All-Star, has spent his entire career with the Warriors after being drafted by Golden State in 2012.

He averaged nine points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists this year.
