saying when you talk like that where I’m from you get hands put on you, and he kind of did this whole thing of like trying to use my basketball career and things that have happened on the basketball court because I’m actually really good at basketball and made it to the NBA, that he wants to try to use that to try to use it against me for my next career. I saw him doing that. And then to come out and do the very thing that you kind of tried to use against me I thought was a little petty, snarky but contradictory to what you just did. What I’m saying like yo you’ve had moments before you need to not say nothing about hands but then you know you start talking about swinging on someone.’

Draymond Green: Let’s start to get real. You just can’t tell me everybody deserves respect. That’s not a fact. Everybody don’t deserve respect just because you played before me. You don’t deserve respect. There are a lot of people in the club, and not everybody can dance. Facts, BD. Just because you played before me does not mean you deserve respect. I’m sorry. But God had it in His plan for you to be born before me, and you just deserve respect because of that? No. My mom ain’t raise me that way. Respect is earned.” -via YouTube / March 29, 2025

Draymond Green: Just a month and a half ago, Oscar Robertson said I do nothing on the basketball court. Yet I got a chance to put on the same jacket he put on. He said it unprompted. I didn’t say anything about Oscar Robertson. I didn’t say anything about players from his generation. I actually said something about players from our generation. And he then took it upon himself to completely try to lessen who I am. You don’t have to like my game, but to say I do nothing on the basketball court? Like, that’s either disrespectful or dumb. Like, it’s one of the two. You’re either being disrespectful, or you’re not smart. So you pick. And I’m going to say it’s disrespect, because I’d like to believe he’s smart. So yeah, I don’t think that respect is passed down to us from the other generations. But I think people are quick to say, ‘Oh, you gotta respect them because they came before.’ No. I don’t agree with that. I disagree with that.” -via YouTube / March 29, 2025
