“In pro baseball, you take a bus 10 hours through the night after a game from NC to NJ. Sleep in a 1-star hotel for maybe 5 hours, get up go to the field, and play for $700 a month, Draymond,” Kade tweeted.

Kade’s comment got the attention of Draymond himself, who had a savage reply. Draymond Green reposted Kade’s comment on his Instagram story, and wrote, ”No!! That’s the incentive of making it to the big league.”

Basketball fans also did not appreciate Kade’s tweet comparing NBA with pro baseball, as they came forward to support Green.

Of course, there were some Twitter users who sided with Kade; however, Draymond has way more fan following than the baseball star. Those were some interesting takeaways and stands in the baseball vs basketball online war. Do you think it is fair to compare the two games and the lifestyle of the players? And, if you do, who is more correct here Green or Kade?
