Draymond Green was wise to stick with basketball.
The Big Ten Network unearthed some footage of the Golden State Warriors forward playing tight end during a 2011 Michigan State spring football game, and it's clear why he didn't pursue the sport further.
"It's never as easy as it looks," Green told Hugh Bernreuter of MLive.com in 2011. "I thought I knew what I was doing, until I got jammed at the line of scrimmage. It’s not easy. It's like basketball. It looks easy, but it's not."
