NBA analyst Skip Bayless has clapped back at Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green for claiming the controversial media personality didn't qualify to make an appearance on his podcast.

During the most recent episode of his podcast, 'The Draymond Green Show,' Green called out Bayless, saying:

"Skip Bayless, no I don't wanna come on your show. No I'm not gonna come on your show and debate. But if you wanna analyze the game of basketball, and we come on there, and we do that, I'd absolutely consider it.

Green then accused Skip Bayless of not understanding the game of basketball and said he did not want him on his podcast.

"Basketball is beautiful, basketball, there's a lot to analyze in the game of basketball, if you know the game," said Green. "And I think that's a problem a bunch of you guys run into. You can't give analysis because you don't know the game. I'm also not sure I would even want you as a guest on The Draymond Green Show. Because if you go back and look at the resumes of guys that have been on this show, you don't qualify."

Bayless responded via Twitter, saying:

"No, Draymond, the real reason you wouldn't want me on your "New Media" podcast is you fear I'd make you look foolish. You could edit but you'd know I'd be taping on my end. Of course, I'd LOVE to have you on my podcast but there's no way you'd risk that. So, keep making excuses!"

What is Draymond Green's 'new media' agenda all about?

Modern-day NBA players (active and retired) have been making their way into the media industry. JJ Redick, Patrick Beverley, CJ McCollum, and Draymond Green are a few players who have taken NBA TV shows by storm of late.

Their "no-nonsense" arguments based on facts have been a huge hit among fans who want to gain deep insights from players.

.@jj_redick has a message for athletes entering the "new media" space and not checking their personal biases at the door.

🗣️ "Your credibility is lost. It's lost and gone when you bring personal bias into the equation."

Green has labeled players taking center stage in the business as the 'new media.' The Warriors forward isn't a fan of how analysts like Skip Bayless, Nick Wright, and Kendrick Perkins present their arguments on debate shows.

He believes their opinions are biased, driven by 'hot takes' that are unjustified, thereby misguiding fans searching for credible sources of information.

Draymond Green has demanded more 'accountability' from TV experts and wants them to back up their arguments with an analysis of the game.
