During the post-game press conference, Green slammed the media and the NBA for pushing an "agenda" to portray him in a negative light.
"Looked like the angry Black man," he said in the locker room to reporters. "I'm not an angry Black man. I am a very successful, educated Black man with a great family, and I am great at basketball and great at what I do."
He finished, "The agenda to try to keep making me look like an angry Black man is crazy. I'm sick of it. It's ridiculous."
