Magic Johnson sees nothing wrong with Draymond Green kicking Steven Adams

On Monday, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green dodged a suspension from Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals after a swift kick to Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams' groin during Sunday night's Game 3. 

It was a controversial, dirty play that directly led to a discussion about whether Green (one of the NBA's 10 best players) should or should not be allowed to take the floor in a critical Game 4, with his 73-win Warriors already trailing 2-1 in the series.

Magic Johnson, for one, chose to save his thoughts on the matter until Tuesday, after the league announced Green was safe to play. And, well, neither his reason for holding off nor his thoughts on the kick make much sense.

Dissecting Johnson's Twitter account is imbecilic. He has a reputation for framing obvious points in aggressively non-controversial ways. Here, the Hall of Fame point guard decides to comment on why he didn't comment on something nobody asked him to comment on in the first place. 

It's strange, but no more so than thinking basketball players in the 1950s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s sought out a competitive advantage by kicking each other between the legs in an attempt to cause harm or draw a foul. This behavior has basically never been normal and has always been completely unacceptable.

Johnson and Green both went to Michigan State University. They know each other and have a relationship. Maybe that factored into Johnson's decision not to share his thoughts until it was relatively safe to do so. Or maybe he honestly thinks there was nothing dirty about Green's actions.

Either way, we're done commenting on this tweet because there's nothing left to say.
