The internet never forgets a face, especially when that face looks exactly like Golden State Warriors’ most controversial player, Draymond Green.
A viral meme comparing the Warriors forward to a high school baller rocked social media this week. The kid reportedly claims his mother dated Draymond back in the day. But Green shut down the paternity talk faster than he racks up technical fouls.
Draymond Green Vehemently Denies Fatherhood Claim
The narrative caught Warriors fans off guard while they were scrolling through social media. @Hoopss, a verified X account, dropped a side-by-side comparison that sent the real hoops community into absolute shock.
The post featured Green’s headshot next to a high school player in a Lions jersey, and the resemblance in their faces is uncanny.
The caption claimed the teen’s mother had a relationship with the four-time NBA champ. Green allegedly denied that the high school baller is his son.
This wild story exploded within hours. 900K viewers have already watched the story, with over 850 replies, majority roasting the striking similarity in their look.

However, folks didn’t wait to brand the kid “Draymond Jr.” since the facial structure, smile, and even the jawline looked same to same. It’s the kind of doppelgänger situation that makes Maury Povich rub his hands together.
The irony? He already has three kids — Draymond Jr. with ex-girlfriend Jelissa Hardy, plus stepdaughter Olive and daughter Cash with wife Hazel Renee. But fans aren’t buying his quick rejection because of the photographic evidence.
The timing seemed too perfect to be worse for him. He’s already dealing with on-court drama after multiple recent ejections. Now he’s got internet detectives demanding DNA tests to prove that high school baller is not his son.
NBA Fans Demand DNA Test After Striking Resemblance
The replies under the X post quickly turned into a mix of jokes and real concern after Green denied being the father, despite the striking facial similarities people pointed out.
One fan wrote, “We need to see the kid square up to know if he really Draymond kid.”
Another added, “Dude looks just like dray tho paternity dodge incoming.”
A third noted, “Damn, Draymond, it doesn’t look good for your case.”
The fourth one shared, “Get this kid a DNA test, pronto! You can’t argue with that resemblance!”
A fifth fan added, “Yea listen. That’s his clone.”
Whether Green addresses this again remains to be seen. But one thing’s clear — the internet won’t let this story disappear quietly.
