Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green does not mince his words while speaking his mind. He has taken shots at fellow players in the league and has usually not backed from his statements. However, an old resurfaced tweet by the Warriors star might indicate otherwise. And it involves some of the biggest names who are in still the league and also some of the top legends of the game as well.

In a 12-year-old tweet, Green first talks about Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant. He drew comparisons between the two players, saying that they tend to commit charging fouls with the ball in their hands. And while doing so, the NBA champ also took a dig at the Lakers’ marquee LeBron James.

Draymond Green changes his stance on who the GOAT is

In his tweet, Green did mention that Kobe did it way better than Durant. However, it is still confusing since none of the two players have been called on those charges during the game. In fact, it was usually the opposite.

Kobe Bryant [while he played the game] and Kevin Durant are both lethal shooters from the mid-range and from beyond the arc. And with the amount of extra attention these two players demand on defense, they tend to get fouled quite a lot while shooting.

So, it is not very clear as to what point Green was trying to make. But that is not all. The four-time NBA champion wasn’t done taking shots, as he took one on LeBron James while stating what separates champions from losers.

At the end of the tweet, Green said, “That’s y bron is a loser.” But what is amusing is the fact that Draymond Green now has a totally different take on LeBron James. In fact, he chose James over Chicago Bulls legend, Michael Jordan. Not to forget that, this tweet is from 2010.

On Uninterrupted, Draymond Green contradicted his own statement and gave a good two-minute speech about why LeBron James is better than Michael Jordan. And one of the bases of his arguments was the fact that Michael Jordan never went up against the best team ever assembled.

Green said, “When you look at the teams that Bron has carried to championships or carried to the Finals. M.J. didn’t beat the greatest team ever assembled, nor did he run up against the greatest team ever assembled every year.”

Green sure did a whole 180-degree turn on the whole who the greatest player of all time is. Now, everyone has different opinions, but for Green to change his stance like that, hopefully, does not come back to haunt him.
