Hey, everyone. Welcome in to another edition of the WojPod here in Los Angeles with ESPN's Ramona Shelburne on the morning after the NBA's suspension of Draymond Green for game three of the Warriors King series dropped late last night, Ramona, and very much of a shot

0:25.1

heard round the entire NBA. What was your reaction initially to the league's decision?

0:31.1

Well, I was watching the Phoenix Clippers game and saw the announcement come across. And I was stunned. And I think

0:40.3

all of us were. I mean, like my phone, I would like to say I was able to watch the Phoenix

0:45.6

Clippers game very closely afterwards. But I think everyone in the NBA was texting, like,
