Warriors' Draymond Green Calls Out Grizzlies' Dillon Brooks Ahead Of Matchup On Thursday
If there is one player in the league who is not afraid of anyone, it is Draymond Green. The four-time champion for the Golden State Warriors is always very vocal with his opinions and after Dillon Brooks called him and his team out recently, Draymond had to clap back.
Recently recording a new episode of his podcast, The Draymond Green Show, Draymond talked about Dillon Brooks and the Memphis Grizzlies, stating that they are not a championship team.
"If you ever wondered why the Memphis Grizzlies is not ready to compete for a championship, look no further than this idiot right here," Green said. "Your level of understanding the game of basketball is at a fan level. And you’re running around talking about a dynasty? The dynasty starts after you, not with you. That’s just a fact. I know dynasty-like players. They aren’t clowns. That doesn’t work when building a dynasty."
Green also mentioned how Brooks was "a little kid in high school" when the Warriors were winning their first championship and that the Grizzlies wing should "be happy" he witnessed that. Green also continued to blast Brooks, calling him an "idiot" and a "clown."
In a recent interview with ESPN, Dillon Brooks said that he does not like Draymond Green at all and that he does not like the Golden State Warriors.
Draymond Green responded to this in his recent podcast episode, stating: "I, quite frankly, wouldn’t like a team that beats me all the time either."
The Warriors and Grizzlies have suddenly become a new rivalry across the league, but Draymond and others a part of the Golden State Warriors do not view their matchup against Memphis as a rivalry, as they always reiterate the fact that the Grizzlies have never won anything.
Klay Thompson has also given his thoughts in the past on the Grizzlies and has been involved in the theatrics on the court, as he recently received a technical foul the last two teams matched up against one another for taunting Dillon Brooks.
The Grizzlies and Warriors will face off for the third time this season in Memphis on Thursday night, a nationally televised game on TNT.
With Dillon Brooks and Draymond Green both throwing words at one another, it will be very interesting to see how this game plays out.
If there is one thing we can definitely count on in this game, it is for both teams to continually throw shade at one another during the course of those 48 minutes.
