Charles Barkley, Draymond Green Trade Cold-Blooded Quips on TNT All-Star Telecast
NBA legend Charles Barkley and Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green share chemistry like few tandems have in sports media. It comes from a place of love, albeit with just a hint of animosity at times.
That chemistry was on full display during TNT’s alternate telecast of Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis, where the two traded jabs throughout the blowout exhibition. As soon as the game came to a close with a 211–186 Eastern Conference victory, Barkley told Green, “Good luck in the play-in [tournament].” It was, of course, a playful shot at Green’s team, which sits in 10th place in the Western Conference.
Green, a four-time NBA champion, took a shot at Barkley’s zero NBA titles as a response.
“That is crazy right now,” Green said. “You are not acting like that. Here Chuck, take my ring.”
Before that, Barkley served a perfect one-liner to Green, who was teasing him for spending just $1,000 on his suit.
“Hey, you know what’s funny about that?” Barkley asked. “You know who was asking about you the other day?”
“Who’s that?” Green responded.
“Nobody,” Barkley quipped.
