Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (23) reacts after scoring against the Cleveland Cavaliers during the second half of Game 7 of the NBA Finals in Oakland, Calif., on June 19.

HOUSTON » Draymond Green says he accidentally posted a graphic crotch shot on his Snapchat account, the latest misstep for the Golden State Warriors’ All-Star forward.

Green initially wrote on Twitter that his account had been hacked after the photo was posted today, but later said the mistake was his.

“It was a situation where it was meant to be a private message and kind of hit the wrong button, you know?” he said before the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team practiced. “Like I said, it was meant to be private, but we’re all one click away from placing something in the wrong place and I suffered from that this morning.”

Green’s troubles date to the NBA Finals, when he was suspended for Game 5 for an accumulation of flagrant foul points after hitting LeBron James in the groin area. He was accused earlier this month of striking a Michigan State football player in the face outside a restaurant near the school’s East Lansing campus and will pay $560 for a noise violation in a deal that gets rid of a misdemeanor assault-and-battery charge.

But Green said he wasn’t feeling sorry for himself.

“There’s so many people who struggles on a daily basis, that are going through the struggles on the daily basis, that for me to sit here and say I can’t catch a break because I got suspended for a game in the finals, or I can’t catch a break because of this situation or, like I’m living my dreams, I’m playing in the Olympics,” he said. “So to say I can’t catch a break, I think that’s disrespectful to everybody because like, how many people get to live their dream?”

He and other members of the U.S. team have been posting to social media regularly during an exhibition tour before the Olympics. He said he quickly realized his error, but by then it was too late.

“I figured it out pretty quick, but in this world, quick ain’t quick enough,” Green said. “Once it’s out, it’s out.”

    His attitude regarding not complaining about the suspension is refreshing.

    It’s a never-ending story.

  3. FarmerDave says:

    “Once it’s out, it’s out.” Seems to have a double meaning in this situation.

  4. MillionMonkeys says:

    Idjiot crotch-kicker. He’s a bit of a smooth talker, at least knows when to apologize. But for the most part, he’s a dirty crotch-kicker.

  5. palani says:

    Have no idea who this guy is, but his initial response of being hacked is reminiscent of disgraced but unrepentant former NY Congressman Anthony the Weiner.
