I think the music is kind of annoying actually

What's next... Live concert and basketball?

I hope teams actually use this against them now. Like the Cavs turn off the music whenever the GSW start going on a run.

To me Green comes off as petty and entitled in those comments.  The guy is making millions of dollars from playing in the NBA.  Saying that not having music 'is so disrespectful' is just idiotic.
It was 1/2 of one game...Green is really annoying.  Just shut up and play.

I really wish Draymond ends up on a non-winning team. His mouth is bigger than his game.

Shoot... I would love Draymond on this team... He may be loud mouthed, but he can back it up.

It sounds like most of the players on both sides agreed it was weird and made the game less enjoyable, Green just articulated it more strongly. Not sure what the big deal is with his comments.

Being a stupid idiot like he is

And I dont get it

Isnt music usually played when the home team has possession of the ball anyways?

Why does Green care

I'd like to see this chump get traded to terrible franchises like the Kings.

How many of you read the article? It wasn't just Green, and they explained why the lack of music made a difference.

You know, not too long ago, all NBA games were played without in game music.

I'm curious though, did the Knicks explain what prompted them to try this out? It could have come from a survey of season ticket holders who said they don't like the in game music.

Apparently they announced during warm-ups that they wanted to give the fans a pure experience of the game without distractions, let them hear everything on the court.

It's a nice idea in theory but I can see how it'd be weird for the players if they're used to having music.

Just seems like another example of Green's uncanny ability to be offended by everything and ashamed of nothing.

I think it is more about Draymond sounding off every topic and always feeling like he is super disrespected. If another player said that most people would think it was strange. I don't really see how trying a new marketing ploy at your own home stadium is "disrespectful." At this point Draymond plays for the team that has the most in prime superstar talent assembled in the modern era and him constantly whining about grievances is beyond tiresome.

Oh i would love him on our team too.  I still want him to shut up and play though.
