Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has never been shy about voicing his opinions and delivering some brutally honest statements. It’s that mindset that makes him a likely natural for a career in television when his playing days are over, and we got a great glimpse of what that might look like when he filled during “Inside the NBA” on Wednesday night.
It was during that appearance that he took a wild shot at the end of Charles Barkley’s career when discussing what the Warriors’ short-term goals are as their core group gets older and deals with injuries.
Draymond Green does not want to look like Charles Barkley in Houston
Barkley ignited the fuse for Green’s comment by saying that professional sports is a young man’s game, and that nobody wins when they are in their late 30s.
It was at that point that Green said the goal was to simply not look like Barkley did when he ended his career with the Houston Rockets.
After a brief awkward silence, Kenny Smith interjected and asked Green what that looked like, with Green responding by saying, “Did you see it? I saw it.”
