The Warriors regained their golden status as they featured in the playoffs and the finals after two years of no qualification. They went all the way to win the NBA title, which was their 4th in the last 8 years. The Warriors dynasty is well and truly still valid and in full force. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, the big three of the Warriors have seen it all. The success, the downfall, the trolls, and the praises. But what they have also done is proving the doubters or “haters” wrong. That is why Draymond Green has pretty much been on a kind of a rampage.

Draymond has been trending because of his words, and his apparent feuds with people now. Those include Kendrick Perkins and Skip Bayless. However, in the interview where he slammed Skip, he also talked about the Boston Celtics and Jaylen Brown. Jaylen Brown did not sit back, but he answered back with a tweet regarding what Draymond said about him and his team. Draymond Green called his team “baby food” and Jaylen obviously had to answer back to him.

There was an incident in the finals where Jaylen stood kind of on top of Draymond, probably to intimidate him or just unaware of when Dray fell down. Green tried to get up and grabbed Jaylen’s shorts by mistake. It was clear that all he wanted to do was get up. But obviously this became a thing.

Jaylen was also not wrong in thinking that Draymond was himself trying to mess with him to break his concentration on the game. It was there for all to see. It was just a misunderstanding at the time. Draymond tried to get up more than anything else. However, what Draymond said most recently was no way a ‘misunderstanding’ but pure slander and trash talk.

Draymond Green calls Boston Celtics “baby food”

Draymond has a reputation of a player who is rough and can be dirty in his gameplay. And that’s pretty much deserved. He has often been ejected for violations during the game. It is not like every one of those ejections has been unfair. But what he also does is he talks a lot of trash. He knows how to get into the opponent’s head. So now, after the celebrations of the title ended, Draymond decided to get a head start with the doubters. Additionally, he had some trash talk for the team Warriors beat in the finals as well.

Draymond started talking about the game incident first, “When Jaylen Brown went in the media and said he’s trying to pull my shorts down, I knew I took his heart. — Come on bro, you standing over me, like, own it.”

Draymond continued, “But another thing he said and I sent it to our team. He said we are not afraid of the Golden State Warriors. I sent it to our team in a group chat and said we [Jaylen Brown and team] are afraid of the Golden State Warriors. Because nobody asked you are y’all afraid of us, why the f*** are you talking about that? He’s like, ‘we are not afraid of them. We will do this and we’ll do that’. I knew at that point I’m like, yup, this is baby food.”

To be fair to Draymond, when he guarded Jaylen, he could only shoot 29.4% and only 1 out of 15 from three. So, in a way, Draymond Green did have Jaylen Brown’s number.
