Draymond Green celebrated the NBA finals win in style with his Warriors teammates. But after a week and a half, he decided to call out some of the analysts. Apparently, there wasn’t a clear beef from anyone with Draymond or the Warriors. But there was a time when Kendrick Perkins on ESPN claimed that Stephen Curry and the Warriors would win 0 NBA titles over the course of the next few seasons. However, they did win it in 2022, but that wasn’t enough of an answer for Draymond Green.

Dray talks about different things and topics on his podcast, The Draymond Green show. He took out the time and decided to have a shot at Kendrick Perkins, a harsh one at that. Green was angry at the NBA analysts for talking about hot takes about players and teams without being in their situation or even understanding it. Moreover, it is safe to say that Green probably took it too far.

“It is the smallest edge that wins someone the NBA finals. And because all these dumb talking heads and never done it, they don’t understand it. Even the one that has done it, don’t act like he’s done it because he’s an idiot and a moron. And wasn’t really that good of a player.”

“So I’m talking about Kendrick Perkins, by the way,” Draymond Green sounded off on Kendrick Perkins.

Perkins had talked about the possibility of Warriors going into the season and surely this reaction from Draymond was something of an afterthought to clap back at all the people who did not take Warriors seriously this season.

Kendrick Perkins answers back to Draymond Green

It was obvious that Perkins was going to answer back. Green dedicated his 42 mins or so podcast to Kendrick, so it was natural that the former teammate of LeBron James was going to hit back. And he did that brutally.

Hey, Draymond, you good?” asked Perkins before building up to his 2-minute long verbal smack down. “What the f*** wrong with you? Didn’t you just win your fourth championship? What the f*** you worried about me for? You mad? You mad cause I’m doing it my way and it’s happened to work?”

After this, Kendrick also got aggressive and personal. He said that Draymond was all talk and no show. He claimed that even players in the NBA have that opinion of him. Of course, Perkins was pissed, and he loaded off his anger in words, but what he wants when he says that Draymond is all talk and he can’t do anything is still unclear.
