Warriors Star Draymond Green Being Sued By Former College Football Player
Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors has some legal issues to immedi- ately deal with during the NBA off season.
In fact, he’s looking at law- suit that’s potentially tied to an incident last July in which he allegedly slapped a former Michigan State football player.
Green is being positive about the pending lawsuit. He says it “will be resolved soon.” That may be true, but what- ever the case, the NBAer will be going up against emerging lawyer, Lisa Bloom, the daughter of famed attorney and legal flack, Gloria Allred.
In a news release on Mon- day, she said she was filing a lawsuit against Green on Tuesday.
Green’s camp expects the lawsuit is in response to a se- quence of events last July that

Venus Williams Fights Back Against Lawsuit Filed After Fatal Accident
Tennis star Venus Williams "lawfully entered the intersection" before last month's fatal traffic collision in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, po- lice said in a statement a few weeks ago, after initially claim- ing she was at fault.
However, Attorney Michael Steinger, who is representing the family in- volved in the collision, claims data obtained from Williams SUV shows she accelerated from 0 to 20 mph in just four seconds right before the June 9th crash.
A Hyundai Accent driven by Linda Barson collided with Williams' SUV in an accident that left Linda Barson with multiple injuries and her hus- band, Jerome Barson, criti- cally injured.
Jerome Barson died two weeks after the accident.
Video footage had shown Venus approaching the intersec- tion before stopping to allow a car to turn left.
Her car can

crossing the intersection, be- fore being struck - though it is not clear from the footage how fast she was driving.
Steinger's claims emerged the day after Williams filed her own legal response to the charges, denying all allega- tions.
Instead, Williams is blam- ing the extent of the passen- gers' injuries on their own negligence for one of them not wearing a seat belt, court pa- pers state.
