Draymond Green Claps Back At Skip Bayless Again: “I Am Not Coming On Your Show”

by

The ongoing verbal clash between NBA player, analyst, and podcaster Draymond Green and FOX Sports’ Skip Bayless has taken a new turn. Draymond, in a recent episode of The Draymond Green Show, labeled Skip as a “hater,” to which Skip responded by calling Draymond “the dirtiest player in NBA history.” Green, not one to back down, further criticized Bayless, stating, “Everybody’s skipping past Skip Bayless since Shannon left him, and he comes out and says he’ll have me eating out of the palm of his hands.” 

Draymond continued, “I am not coming on your show, Skip. I’m gonna keep skipping past you just like everyone else skipped on you, because that show is dead, nobody wants to hear you talk anymore. In the words of Richard Sherman, ‘I am better than you. I am better than you at life, I am just better at you.’” Green continues, displaying the rings and honors that envelop him, before concluding, “Yeah Skip, we don’t respect you, you need more people,” Echoing Jay-Z’s “Takeover.”

Draymond Green Fires More Shots At Skip Bayless

In reaction to something Draymond Green had said about LeBron James, Bayless had stated he wanted Green to appear on his show and discuss why he branded him a hater. Skip said, “Draymond can come right here on this show…he can have as much time as he wants to make all of his cases against me, but I will respond. Thats why Draymond will never join me on this show, he knows what would happen to him. I know too much and I’m not afraid to say it. He knows I would chew him up and spit him right out for all to see.”

Bayless also said, “In my career, I have never seen anything like this phenomenon. Draymond Green is, no exaggeration, the dirtiest player in NBA history by far.” He continued, “I dare you to go on YouTube, call up and watch those low-light tapes of the cavalcade of Draymond Green’s dirtiest plays over the years … the cheap shots, the low blows, the dangerous plays. Draymond is the all-time cheap-shot artist.” Overall, it is safe to say that the beef between Draymond Green and Skip Bayless will keep going well into the next NBA season.

While Draymond Green is often seen as the enforcer for the Warriors, the role has landed him in trouble with the league on several occasions. After several ejections, the NBA hit Green with an indefinite suspension last season which led to him not seeing the court for 12 games. Since the Warriors were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs after losing to the Sacramento Kings back in April, Green has been making appearing on Inside The NBA as an analyst.

Looking ahead, Clark says she’s focused on not letting the hard fouls get to her. “It is what it is,” she said after the game. “I feel like I’m just at the point where you accept it and don’t retaliate… I’m trying not to let it bother me.” The Fever are now 2-8 while the Sky sit at 3-4.

Anthony Edwards Led The Timberwolves In An Effort To Boycott “Inside The NBA”

by

The Minnesota Timberwolves were eliminated from the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks last night. Young star Anthony Edwards has gotten a lot of praise this postseason, but ultimately, he and his team fell short. Throughout the last two series, the Timberwolves big man duo has been under a ton of scrutiny. Some of the criticism has been warranted, citing their play at times. Nevertheless, some of the critics seem to come from personal beef. Draymond Green, who had been featured on Inside the NBA, had a personal vendetta against DPOY Rudy Gobert.

Karl-Anthony Towns was also joked about and harshly criticized by Draymond and the Inside The NBA crew. Now, reportedly, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves decided to boycott doing interviews with the beloved basketball show. The gesture is a form of solidarity with Gobert and Karl-Anthony Town. According to The Athletic, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves declined to take part in “Inside The NBA” interviews in order to show support for Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert in the face of criticism from Draymond Green.

Anthony Edwards And The Timberwolves Boycotted “Inside The NBA”

According to club sources who spoke with The Athletic, Edwards was surrounded by a close-knit group of players who determined as a unit that no player would be featured on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” postgame program following their victory in Game 4 in Dallas. The choice was made as a show of support for Gobert and Towns after panelist and Golden State forward Draymond Green mocked and personally attacked them. Draymond had some words for Anthony Edwards himself as well. he disparaged the star guard after his comments after game 1.

Fans have decried the addition of Green because it seemed like all he wants to do is bring up personal beef and push his own agenda. Overall, Minnesota is led by a young, outspoken star who decided to show up for his teammates. Despite their inconsistent play, it seems like the Wolves are a close-knit team. Edwards vowed that they would be back next year. All in all, he will be thinking about the loss to the Mavs all off-season for fuel.

Skip Bayless Fires Back At Draymond Green: “Dirtiest Player In NBA History By Far”

by

Draymond Green fired some shots at Skip Bayless last week, calling the FS1 personality the “biggest hater” outside the NBA. “Dude just sits up there and spews hate,” Green said. “I hope I give him a soundbite for his show because it’s dying.” Green’s dream came true on Thursday when the host of The Skip Bayless Show disparaged him on his podcast, branding him “the dirtiest player in NBA history by far.” Skip said of Dray, “Here’s the astonishing truth about Draymond Green. Draymond Green is, no exaggeration, the dirtiest player in NBA history by far. The dirtiest player in NBA history by far is Draymond Green.”

Bayless told his viewers to look up Draymond’s various “lowlight tapes, of the cavalcade of Draymond Green’s dirtiest plays over the years … the cheap shots, the low blows, the dangerous plays. Draymond is the all-time cheap-shot artist.” Nevertheless, a lot of admirers adore Green, according to Bayless. He said, “Everybody loves Draymond,” Bayless said. “Somehow his perception is his reality … the perception of Draymond is, ‘He’s such a nice guy, he’s so fun, he’s funny, he’s glib, he’s witty … he’s just so entertaining, that’s Draymond.”

Skip Bayless Calls Out Draymond Green

“The truth is, Draymond Green is just a great actor. At his core, deepest down, he’s always been a dirty basketball player with one or two screws loose,” Skip Bayless asserted about Green. Bayless continued by highlighting a few particular instances involving Green, such as the well-known physical altercation with Jordan Poole, Green’s teammate with the Golden State Warriors at the time, in 2022.

Naturally, Green would be ranked highly, if not #1, on any credible list of the “Dirtiest Players in NBA History,” but it might not be a good look for Bayless to make that claim at this time, only a few days after Green called him one of the worst haters in the NBA and dared him to answer. Draymond has buried the hatchet with Stephen A. Smith this week. All in all, Skip and Draymond may need to settle things once and for all.

Stephen A. Smith Accepts Draymond Green’s On-Air Apology

Golden State Warriors Draymond Green appeared on Shaq’s”The Big Podcast” last week and had some words for Stephen A. Smith. Green told Shaq, “Stephen A. Smith really pissed me off.” He clarified why he had a problem with Stephen A. by claiming that despite his appearance on camera, he consistently stood up for him. When Draymond was suspended earlier in the NBA season, Draymond said Stephen A. did not act similarly. Green says he “lost a lot of respect” for Smith as a result. Stephen A. Smith responded by going in on Green on First Take as their disagreement was a public affair. Now, Dyarmond Green has apologized to Stephen A. Smith for the misunderstanding on live TV. 

Prior to Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, guest commentator Green apologized live on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” pregame program for his earlier remarks about no longer respecting Smith. Draymond said, “[Shaquille O’Neal], I was on your podcast… and you just mentioned Stephen A,” Green said, “And I said something that didn’t come out the way I said it, so I want to apologize to him. I said that publicly … I was wrong for that.” Shockingly, Draymond Green has taken the high road and apologized for something he did. Stephen A. Accepted the gesture.

I apologize as well, for anything I may have done. I’m not trying to hurt anybody. Now let’s enjoy this marvelous NBA basketball we’re about to see.”

Smith is well-known for his sharp opinions. The ESPN personality was perturbed by Green’s extended ban for hitting Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkić in the face during a game on December 12.

The two seem to have put their differences behind them, and now they can both concentrate on the upcoming 2024 NBA Finals. Overall, Draymond and Green’s public reconciliation was a good moment.

The Golden State Warriors Draymond Green appeared on Shaquille O’Neal’s “The Big Podcast” yesterday and had some words for Stephen A. Smith. The two talked on a wide range of subjects, including who would win between Greens 2016 Warriors and Shaq’s 2000 Lakers. Additionally, the pair talked about sports media legend Stephen A. Smith. “Stephen A. Smith really pissed me off,” Green told Shaq. He explained his beef with Stephen A., saying that regardless of his on-camera persona, he always defended his character. Draymond claimed Stephen A. did not do the same when Draymond went through his suspension earlier in the NBA season. 

Green says he “lost a lot of respect” for Smith as a result.  Following that, on Thursday mornings, Stephen A. Smith addressed both Shaq and Green. He did not hold back. Stephen A. Smith called out Draymond for his comments and let Shaq have some of his fury, too, in a fascinating rant. Stephen A. is one person Draymond should try not to have a war of words with. Stephen A. Threw down the gauntlet of First Take and had to make things very clear to Draymond.

Stephen A. Smith went in on Draymond, saying, ‘I saw what Draymond Green said about me. ‘Well, I’ve now lost respect for him.” He continued, “Listen, Draymond and I… I’ll never hate him. I’ll never have anything but love for him. But I don’t respect what he did. You know my number. You’ve spoken to me before. Why am I hearing about it on Shaq’s podcast?” He then turned his attention briefly to Shaq, saying, “It would have been nice for Shaq to follow up, and say ‘yo, this is Stephen A. you’re talking about. This brother always defends you.’” He continued saying, “We talk about being men. I’m not hard to find! Draymond could have called me up. Draymond could have had a conversation with me.” 

Stephen A. Smith went on to say, “I did not do that. You’re going to take a sound bite… You know how much stuff I’ve said positive about Draymond Green? You know how many times I’ve come to the defense of Draymond Green? About his character in the league office, in media, in the newsroom, on podcasts, on various interviews I’ve done?!” He concluded his rant, saying,”’I have never, ever failed to support him… And all I’m saying is if you’re going to have a problem with me, let a brother know.” All in all, Draymond probably should have talked all this out with Stephen A. It seems like he wanted to air his feelings publicly for content.

Draymond Green Gives The Title Of Biggest Haters To Skip Bayless And Jusuf Nurkić

by

Draymond Green has a lot of critics. Whether it’s his brash attitude or on-court behavior in which he seems to get in fights every other game, Green gets a lot of flack. On the most recent episode of “The Big Podcast with Shaq,” the vocal veteran forward for the Warriors chatted with Shaquille O’Neal and was challenged to identify the “biggest hater” in the NBA. Green continued by naming both an NBA player and an outsider. His answers are not very groundbreaking and should be pretty expected if you know anything about Green’s beef in the past.

“The biggest hater outside the NBA is Skip Bayless for sure,” Green told Shaq. “Dude just sits up there and spews hate. I hope I give him a soundbite for his show because it’s dying. Like when you’re hating on LeBron James every single day, for instance, it’s like there’s nothing this man has done to give you something to hate on, like you’re a hater.” Harsh words for the Fox Sports personality. He then turned his attention to his NBA rival, Jusuf Nurkić, naming him the biggest hater in the NBA.

Draymond Green Calls Out Jusuf Nurkić As Biggest Hater In The NBA

Draymond once again brought up the guy he keeps going back and forth with, Jusuf Nurkić. He said of the Suns Center whom he assaulted last year, “Inside the NBA I’m going to have to go … man that’s a tough one, because guys be trying to hide their hate … biggest hater inside the NBA is [Jusuf] Nurkić. Hater. ‘Oh he need help,’ ‘That brother still need help.’ Like no, you need help. Big softie.” The feud between Green and Nurkić started after Green hit Nurkić in the face during a game on December 12; this led to an extended suspension for Green, and after the game, Nurkić hilariously told reporters that Green “needs help.”

The two then got into an altercation during their next court appearance on February 10. Following the Warriors’ season-ending loss to the Sacramento Kings in the NBA Play-In Tournament, Nurkić shared a GIF of the cartoon character “That’s all folks!” on social media. After seeing that, Green did the same on his podcast, saying, “That’s all folks!” in response to Nurkić and the Phoenix Suns losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the opening round of the NBA playoffs. Overall, the Draymond Green Jusuf Nurkić beef astonishingly is still going strong.

Draymond Green Disrespects Kobe Bryant, Tells Shaq How The 2016 Warriors Would Beat His Lakers

by

“Which great team would beat this great team?” is a timeless and entertaining, if not pointless, sports argument. The media gets hours and hours of content with this very prompt because it’s easy and fun to think about. Though it’s entertaining to speculate about how opposing basketball styles and eras would fair against each other, we’ll never get to witness them play, so a definitive response will never be possible. This subject was recently discussed by Shaquille O’Neal and Draymond Green, the star of the Warriors, on The Big Podcast with Shaq.

In a seven-game series, O’Neal questioned whether one of his championship teams, the Lakers, and one from the Warriors would prevail. Green discussed the matchup that, in his opinion, would be most effective in slowing down O’Neal. Draymond broke down the scheme to stop Shaq. What resulted was a question about who would be guarding Shaq’s partner in crime, Kobe Bryant. Drayomds reply was taken as disrespect as the big man had to check Draymond with quickness.

Draymond Gets Checked By Shaq For Kobe Bryant Disrespect

“I do think there were defensive schemes that we could have thrown at you to affect you,” Green replied to Shaq, who looked puzzled. “One is not letting you get the ball. So we gonna guard you with a guy in front of you a guy behind you…” O’Neal interrupted, telling Dray that it had already been tried before in the past and didn’t work. Draymond brashly replied, “Yeah I wasn’t on the court though.”  After mentioning the shooters he was surrounded by, O’Neal agreed with Green when he brought up the point that NBA players weren’t making three-pointers as frequently as they do in the modern game.

O’Neal questioned Green on who was defending the legendary Kobe Bryant following some more back-and-forth, during which Green stated his belief that the Dubs would win the series. When Green eventually answered, he said, “Klay,” to which O’Neal was ready to drop the subject entirely. “We’ll continue this conversation on your podcast,” O’Neal told Green, basically putting a pin in that comment. Overall, Shaq doesn’t think Klay holds a candle to Kobe Bryant, and rightfully so.

Draymond Green Challenges Tyrese Haliburton After Terrible Game 5

by

In order to survive, the Indiana Pacers must-win Game 6 at home. If they don’t, their summer will start unfortunately early for them, and the New York Knicks will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pacers lost big time last night and were outmatched by a New York Knicks team with several injuries. Jalen Brunson had another stellar game, scoring over 40 for what seems like the 100th time this postseason. The Pacers as a team choked under the pressure. Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton especially struggled, and Draymond Green had some words for him post-game. 

Tyrese Haliburton was incredibly inactive for the second time in three games in New York, managing just 13 points on nine shots. He needed to find out how to get his game to travel if the Pacers were to have a chance of winning this series because it was a huge difference to the intensity and ferocity he showed at home in Indiana. His performance gives credence to the “front runner” criticism the Pacers have received. Everything is good when they are up, but they shrink when they are behind. Draymond Green issued a challenge for Tyrese to step up in game 6 and be a leader.

Draymond Says Tyrese Haliburton Must Step Up

While Haliburton is battling a number of injuries, most postseason players, including Knicks star Jalen Brunson, In Games 3 and 4 in Indiana, we witnessed Haliburton discover that additional gear a star needs to display in the playoffs. That gear has largely been out of the equation in New York. Draymond Green and Vince Carter, standing in for Shaq and Charles on Inside the NBA, talked about the messages they would like to send to Haliburton. Draymonds’s message was clear. In a long statement, Draymond said, “You have to come out and compete at a level that says I want to move on.”

Draymond continued his message to Tyrese, saying, “We’re asking you to come out and give an honest effort and compete. When you slap and you stop on the defensive end and give up, you’re letting the other guys down. “ Draymond is adamant that Haliburton has to compete on both ends of the floor to show his teammates he wants to survive and advance. Green Continued, “So he has to come out and compete on both ends of the floor like his life depended on it. Not be lockdown, just show some effort so then the help can get there and help you.” Overall, Draymond’s advice is 100% correct. Haliburton looked like he didn’t want it last night. He has to have that desire if the Indiana Pacers want to move on.
