Draymond Green calls Dillon Brooks an ‘idiot’ for reigniting feud with Golden State Warriors
The Memphis Grizzlies have been exceptional all season long, but Draymond Green made it clear that he isn't a big fan of their work. The four-time NBA champion took a dig at the Grizzlies' roster, saying that the team isn't ready to win a championship just yet. He specifically pointed out that their inability to win the big one is due to their reliance on Dillon Brooks.
Brooks is one of the main guys on the team right now. He's averaging 14.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. Despite Brpoks' efforts, Green is unimpressed with his performances and thinks that Memphis won't make it to the next level with a guy like him on the team. Green even called Brooks an idiot when describing the Grizzlies guard.
“If you ever wonder why the Memphis Grizzlies is not ready to compete for a championship, look no further than this idiot right here," Green said. "They’re actually depending on this guy to help them win a championship.”
Draymond Green's 'inappropriate' intensity in the NBA
Draymond Green is notoriously known to pick fights with his opponents or even his teammates. Earlier this season, Green threw hands with one of his teammates, Jordan Poole. And, of course, throughout his career, Draymond has always made it a point to get under the skin of his matchups to throw them off mentally the whole game.
Even though Green says that he's always coming from a good place, his actions aren't appreciated by many. As a result, even fans outside of the Golden State Warriors community have beef with him. One good example was in last year's NBA Finals matchup between the Warriors and Boston Celtics.
The Garden was as rowdy as ever and fans were passionate enough to call Draymond offensive names. However, Green made it clear that he thrives from that type of energy, which is why he constantly acts the way he does.
In reality, some people say that Draymond Green is genuinely a good person. When it comes to life outside of basketball, he's one of the nicest guys on the planet. Sadly, not many are aware of this behavior considering that his egotistical personality is mostly broadcasted in the media.
