Draymond Green spent Game 5 of the NBA Finals at a baseball game next door
Golden State Warriors player Draymond Green watched Game 5 of the NBA Finals on TV like a fan. He was suspended for hitting Cleveland Cavaliers star Lebron James in the groin during the previous game and the NBA banned him sitting with his teammates at Oracle Arena.
So he decided to spend the game next door at O.o Coliseum, home of the Oakland A's, in a suite, where he could hang out, watch the game, take in a little baseball, and head across the street in the event of a Warriors win.

Television cameras covering the A's game caught a brief peek at Green in his suite with friends and family, including former NFL star (and Oakland native) Marshawn Lynch.
