The Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green has voiced strong criticism towards the San Antonio Spurs following their disappointing exit from the 2026 NBA Finals against the New York Knicks. In a recent episode of 'The Draymond Green Show,' Green expressed his disappointment over the Spurs' lack of sportsmanship after they failed to congratulate the Knicks following their series-ending defeat. Green highlighted the importance of acknowledging opponents, stating, 'When you go toe to toe with a team and they get the better of you, those that become champions look them in their eyes and say ‘respect.’' The Spurs lost the championship in five games, with the decisive victory occurring on their home court. After the final buzzer of the 94-90 game, most Spurs players, including star center Victor Wembanyama, left the court without acknowledging the Knicks. Only the coaching staff and backup center Luke Kornet remained to show respect. Green attributed the Spurs' actions to their youth and lack of leadership, emphasizing that there is a right way to lose in basketball. He urged the young players to reach out to Knicks players like Jalen Brunson and congratulate them. Green concluded by expressing his belief in the Spurs' potential, stating that they are capable of achieving something special in the future.
