Draymond Green has yet another name to add to his list of enemies.

The Golden State Warriors star Green called out retired ex-NBA All-Star Kenyon Martin on the latest episode of his self-titled podcast for Audacy. Earlier in the week, Martin, during an appearance on the “On the Rocks” podcast, suggested that Green’s persona as a tough guy was all fake.

“I think what Draymond does is calculated,” said Martin. “Draymond ain’t did nothing to nobody who’s going to do something back to him … Ain’t nobody took him out the air, ain’t nobody hit him, ain’t nobody stepped on his chest, ain’t nobody did anything that he’s done to nobody.”

Green responded to that claim by attacking Martin’s resume.

“The constant shots has been a little confusing to me because I don’t know quite where they came from,” said Green. “You would think someone that was the No. 1 pick that didn’t quite have the career I’ve had when you talk Defensive Player of the Year, or nine All-Defensive teams that I have. And he has zero? One All-Star?

“I just don’t know how you can continue to shoot at me when you underachieved,” Green added of Martin. “The shots they’re just a little baffling to me … Because If I stop playing today, my career was better, way more impactful … Your resume got to be a little better to just keep taking shots.”

Here is the clip of Green’s remarks.

Notably, Green did not refute Martin’s point about being a fake tough guy and instead went with personal attacks on Martin’s career. But this clearly is not the first time that Martin, who is also a regular contributor to Gilbert Arenas’ popular “Gil’s Arena” podcast, has taken swipes at Green.

Now 47 years old, Martin, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2000 as well as an NBA All-Star in 2004, is also known for throwing around shade almost indiscriminately. Over just the span of the last couple of years, Martin has been the first to fire off shots at everybody from his former head coach to family members of current NBA stars.
