Drayond Green sends a clear message to Stephen A. Smith’s ESPN colleague after controversial NBA legend -comparison

An upset Warriors fan complained to social media and said: “Drayond doesn’t want to be there without Steph,” While Drayond Green secured 10 points in game 5. The Minnesota Timberwolves revealed the truth of the dubs without Stephen Curry. Yes, Jimmy was on the field, but he was not enough, nor was green. That is why the 35-year-old has enough, opposite the critics.

Drayond Green has an average of 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 12 games in the play -offs of 2025. For a hopeer with experience of 13 years in the competition and 4 championship -winning seasons, these statistics seem terrible. And this brought forward the frustration of Kendrick Perkins and was in ESPN’s studio, he said, “Drayond Green, what you had, homie? We are talking about since Steph went out in game 2, it could be said that he was trying to be cast out; Game 3, he gave them absolutely nothing. Game 4, absolutely nothing. Game 5, absolutely nothing. And I don’t expect Drayond to go outside and gets 15 to 20 points.

Speaking with Baron Davis on the Drayond Green Show, The 35-year-old attacker clarified: “One thing is certain, I know that the name Drayond TV reviews influences. That I am sure. Something else is certain, I have been doing that for a long time at an elite level, and boys like that.” Well, to begin with, Green, the 35th design of 2012 had one of the most glorious runs in the history of the NBA. Four championships later you could call him a legend of the sport.

He added, “I saw two seconds of what Perk said because I started watching. Then you all said that I already said something about it. And so, by saying that, I am not sure what they said because I didn’t hear it. But if they said what I thought they said, they were right. How they said it – you know that they sometimes say things about it.” It is mysterious thing Drayond is worried about this, but Baron Davis shared what Udonis Haslem said about Green.

“Udonis said you have kicked your A -” BD has informed the DPOY 2017. Can you really say that Haslem was wrong here? Even Drayond Green accepts that it is true. However, what felt out was how the conversation between Big Perks and Udonis Haslem was the access to Dennis Rodman. Well, of course he was not in the studio, but his name is reflected by ESPN’s studio as it was intended.

But even Drayond did not skimp in answering the comparisons between him and Rodman, with Julius Randle in the mix.

Drayond Green knew his opinion about the comparison of Perkins Dennis Rodman

Steve Kerr once told the media that Drayond is the best defender he has ever seen. “Steve Kerr played with Dennis Rodman. Julius Randle shot more than 50% when Drayond Green guarded him,” Kendrick Perkins gave his argument. “Julius – in all respects for Julius Randle because he Balt – he would not have set them up sort of figures or had that impact on no damn Dennis Rodman.”

So, Baron Davis said, “He compared you with Dennis Rodman and said that Julius Randle would not have scored 40. That’s all I didn’t like. Julius Randle would not have scored 40 on Dennis Rodman?” Dray said, “If Julius Randle had the feeling that he felt in that series, nobody is going to stop him. Do you know what I mean? He doesn’t think about someone who stops him. Certainly.

“I am also sure that I can look for a play -off series where Dennis Rodman is dropped off. When you win at the levels where I and Dennis Rodman have won, and you play the amount of meaningful series in which we have played, there is someone who comes by. So yes, I don’t take that personally at all. Drayond Green concluded. Julius Randle has an average of 23.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists in 10 games in the Play -offs of 2025. He was an unstoppable force that was an equivalent, if not the same, threat on the floor like Anthony Edwards.

Dayond may have been bruised, but he is far from broken. Even when Dennis Rodman’s spirit rises about every criticism, he does not shrink. Of course, Julius had his moment, but every legend – including Rodman – has confronted a storm. The four rings of Dayond are still shining, louder than the sound. And when he roars back, the competition will feel it.
