Draymond Green is a perpetual line-stepper.His teammates and Dub Nation often love him for it.His opponents and their fans absolutely despise him for it.Oftentimes, his antics provoke opposing players into outsize reactions or poor play, but on Monday night in Sacramento, he was the one reacting — and he paid the price.After falling down on a fourth-quarter box-out, Kings center Domantas Sabonis saw Green’s planted foot, which was near his chest, and latched onto it. Green raised the foot Sabonis was clutching and stomped on his chest. Sabonis received a technical foul and Green was ejected with a Flagrant 2 foul. Both players defended their actions postgame after the Warriors lost.The incident harkened back to Green’s other playoff scuffles, which have been a hallmark of his career.Below are just a few instances of the Warriors star creating chaos in the postseason.Nut Punch — 2016 NBA FinalsThe most infamous moment in Green’s since-patched-up relation...

With 26 days left in session, Nebraska lawmakers pass 1 bill

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:01:03 GMT

With only 26 days left in the 90-day legislative session, Nebraska lawmakers have finally passed a single bill. Now they have only about 200 left to go.In any other year, the Nebraska Legislature would have passed dozens of bills by now. But it has been hamstrung by progressive lawmakers filibustering every bill before the body this session — even ones they support — to protest conservatives’ push to pass a ban on gender-affirming care for minors. During the last 90-day session, in 2021, legislators had passed 74 bills by Day 64 — the point they reached Monday night when they passed this year’s first bill — and 48 of them had already been signed into law by the governor, Clerk of the Legislature Brandon Metzler said.This year’s late date for passage of the first bill is not unprecedented, he said. The body once took up to 70 days to pass its first bill. But it is unusual, and the bottleneck of bills that have not advanced is unprecedented. As of Tuesday, only 10 bills ha...
