Follow Us
The simmering animosity between Dillon Brooks and Draymond Green has once again boiled over, with their latest exchange taking their already intense rivalry to a new level. The two NBA players have a long-standing history of trash talk and heated exchanges on the court, and their off-court jabs have been well-documented.
The latest chapter in their ongoing feud was sparked by Green’s comments on his podcast, in which he referred to Dillon Brooks as an “idiot” and claimed that his Memphis Grizzlies teammates don’t like him. Brooks fired back by mocking Green’s podcast and bringing up a recent altercation that Green had with his own teammate, Jordan Poole.
Reports indicate that Green got into a verbal argument with Poole during a team practice and punched him in the face, causing him to fall to the ground. The incident was captured on video and leaked to the media, resulting in disciplinary action for Green from the Golden State Warriors, though he was not suspended.
Dillon Brooks seized on the opportunity to criticize Green for being hypocritical and divisive, pointing out that Green had no right to talk about his relationship with his teammates when he himself had a history of violent outbursts towards his own team.
The ongoing feud between Brooks and Green dates back to last year’s playoff series between their teams, and it seems unlikely that their rivalry will be resolved any time soon. As both teams battle for playoff positioning, fans will be eagerly anticipating whether their feud spills over onto the court once again.
For now, their off-court exchanges and social media jabs will have to suffice as the rivalry between Brooks and Green continues to simmer. However, their latest exchange has added an extra layer of drama to an already intense rivalry between the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors, and only time will tell if their differences can be put aside or if tensions will reignite on the court.
Draymond Green Calls Brooklyn Nets Owner Joe Tsai Petty
Draymond Green criticized Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai on a recent episode of his podcast for refusing to trade Kyrie Irving to the Los Angeles Lakers. This came after the eight-time All-Star was traded to the Dallas Mavericks
“I am told that they would not trade him to the Lakers, and that is what I call billionaire petty,” Green said. “That is Joe Tsai saying, ‘Listen, man, that’s where he wants to go? I don’t care if they offer the best deal or not. I can be petty too.’ And billionaire petty is a different level of petty. And not many people can compete with billionaire petty,” he added.
The Los Angeles Lakers were widely expected to acquire Kyrie Irving in a blockbuster trade after he wanted out of Brooklyn. However, things didn’t work out as planned, and the Nets instead chose to trade him to the Dallas Mavericks.
With a 25-31 record and ranked 13th in the Western Conference this season, the Lakers are having a difficult time and might miss the playoffs for a second consecutive year. However, many believe their recent moves before the trade deadline could change their fortunes and put them back on track.
