Draymond Green had scathing response after Austin Rivers belittled him

Draymond Green was never going to take Austin Rivers’ comments about him sitting down.

Rivers spoke about the Golden State Warriors forward during a recent appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show.” The veteran host asked Rivers about Green’s claim last week that Steve Kerr “hindered” him from developing more as a scorer.

While Green was effusive in his praise of Kerr, he pointed to the Warriors not having a single play in their playbook with him as the primary offensive target. Rivers said that he was “bewildered” by Draymond claiming such a thing, calling it “ridiculous” that Green didn’t understand why Kerr didn’t utilize him more as a scorer.

Green responded on Monday on the latest episode of “The Draymond Green Show.”

“Speaking of Austin Rivers,” Green said. “I saw that he said he’s bewildered, and it’s ridiculous what I said, and I just find it interesting that a guy who was the 10th pick in my draft — I was 35 — who’s on his second act — I’m still on act one — he goes, ‘Draymond, never been a scorer.’

“Austin, you and I averaged the same amount of points in high school, and I say high school cause that’s when you were at your best. … Should he really talk about my NBA career? I’m still with my first team. He was gone from his first team in two years. The guy received the biggest bailout in US history prior to President Trump bailing out the airlines when his dad gave him 42 million dollars.”
