Anyone following the NBA recently knows that Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has a strong dislike for Skip Bayless. The two have a well-documented history of exchanging harsh words, and their feud shows no signs of ending. Something about their interactions continues to fuel their public spats.
In the latest development, Green made a bold statement about their current standings. He claimed he’s in a better place in life than Bayless. This came after Bayless called Green the dirtiest player in NBA history, prompting Green to retaliate by questioning Bayless’s relevance.
“Everybody’s skipping past Skip Bayless since Shannon [Sharpe] left him,” Green said. “He says he’ll have me eating out of the palm of his hands if I come on his show. I’m not coming on your show, Skip. I’m going to keep skipping past you like everyone else has. That show is dead; no one wants to hear you talk anymore. As Richard Sherman said: ‘I am better than you. I am better than you at life.’ I’m just better than you. Skippin’ Skip.”
Green’s comments were harsh, but they reflect his unapologetic nature, especially when defending his honor and those close to him. His sentiments seem shared by teammate Stephen Curry, who reacted notably.
As for Green’s future with the Warriors, his online jabs remain sharp, but his performance on the court has declined. Last season, he averaged 8.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.0 steals in 55 games. Despite a solid Box Plus Minus of 2.4, it’s uncertain if the Warriors can remain competitive with Green’s current output compared to Curry’s.
The Warriors are likely to keep Green for the near future, but whether he will retire as a Warrior remains uncertain.
