Former NBA Player Fires Back at Draymond Green

During a recent episode of Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green took a jab at former first-round draft pick Andrew Nicholson. Speaking about players that were selected ahead of him in the NBA Draft, Green said the following:

"This is not to throw salt at anybody, but Andrew Nicholson was drafted over me at like 19... At the time y'all are comparing us as big men who can play back to the basket, but I'm looking at this dude, and number one, he doesn't even look like a basketball player. I always tell people, when it comes to winning, half the battle is looking like a basketball player. When you're on a team and you look at the other side of the floor and if you see guys that don't look like basketball players, you automatically lose respect. And when you lose respect for those guys, you do things to them in the game that you otherwise wouldn't have done if you respected that guy."

Nicholson saw these comments, and responded during an episode of the Hip Hop Hoops podcast, saying, "Honestly, it's kind of unfortunate, and I see it as an insecurity on his end... I didn't know he was thinking about me for the last 11 years, I wasn't thinking about you, I'm going to be honest with you."
