Draymond Green Fires Back At Charles Barkley

[jaguar paw]

Name a starting power forward that has won a championship in the last 5 years that Draymond can't defend.

at this random ass measurement but i'll play along.

These are the only PFs to win championships the past 5 years.

4 Hall of Famers.

Bosh, Dirk, Gasol, and Duncan.

You think Draymond could defend any of them one on one in their prime?

 

[jadillac]

So why does Chuck single out a guy or two for being the reason we can't win the ship??

my bad, the way I took it is he said their team was too small/they shoot too many jumpers.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Thats not the point of the topic at hand. But carry on

Thats the point of the comment I responded to. If you have nothing to add

Chuck trying to mess up Dray's money. These young fellas are going to run Chuck off of TNT with the ether.

Did I miss Draymonds ring ceremony? By his own logic he isnt in position to speak on the shyt either. This new trend of using the ring argument for ringless nikkas is . Charles is a c00n and a clown but he was an ATG and he is right about this and its his job. What was he supposed to say after Bron had his way with them nikkas on the block...I aint got no rings so I cant comment?

Dray didnt mention anything about himself having rings, all he did was chop Barkley up with the too small analogy/metaphor, with that rings came into the equation.

I think Draymond could defend them as well as any power forward in the league could. I seen Stephen Jackson slow down Dirk in a series when Dirk was at his zenith and the We Believe team knocked him out the playoffs when they were favorites to win it all.

Why are you switching your own argument?

Draymond by himself is not going to reverse the results for any of the teams that lost in the Finals.

I think he's a good player but when defending the post one on one he has physical limitations.

Nobody without rings should ever be invoking rings period. Especially a 4th option who isnt even among the best in the current league referencing a guy that was a number 1 and amongst the GOATs at the position. Draymond couldnt chop Barkley up if he had 9 rings. Dude even said Barkley was someone he patterned his game after so how can he chop him up? His comments were nothing more than hurt feelings after getting called out by one of his idols and getting embarassed by Bron.

I smell Barkley's retirement from broadcasting right around the corner, however, I think he's right. Draymond and Barkley might have the same height issues, but young Barkley was a monster. Barkley was a straight up pitbull, every bit of a power forward in a short wide body. Draymond isn't that. I don't think it's even a fair comparison. Dude's get too sensitive when they hear things about themselves. Barkley can't say every player is great or hold his tounge, he's a paid analyst. He gets paid to say what he feels about the teams and players.

Barjley is annidiot, but immjust gett8ng titrd ofmeverybody bringing up the no rings against. Jordan, shaq, players. It doesnt make him less knowledgeable or credible on basketball discussion.

Low key, its one of the reasons i made the battier thread to see how ppl would react to role player talking about one of the this generation, specifically with battier having rings and melo not.

I feel like nigguhs trip over barkleys no rings narative more than barkley himself. Jordan probably more mad that the bulls fo didn't keep em together after 98 until the bulls finally lost a final than barkley is about never getting ring

Actually, he's a paid troll who is told by the NBA what to say. Fact is, upsets happen, and no one can predict championships.

 

[Victim of Racism]

lol at caping for Draymond Green

He was clearly in his feelings and upset. Trying to mention rings to diss Chuck when he's never even been as far as Chuck got and is a damn role player. Sit the fukk down.

Why you cape'ing for Bark? You a fan? Bark is a paid troll, which is likely why Green responded. Fact is, upsets happen, and no one can predict championships. How do you know Green was upset? He may just really feel like Bark has no idea what it takes to win. Jordan said that exact same thing to him. The reason he used was not that Jordan knows because he's won. The reason he used was that Bark never did. It's not deep to assume a person who never won doesn't know what it takes to do so. Most of this board thinks they're experts when they've never done it.

 

[Victim of Racism]

Not sticking up for Barkley, but I HATE this, "he was never a champion" talking point.

It's not a 1 on 5 game and you can't dock main guys for not winning a title when role players win titles every year.

So why does Chuck single out a guy or two for being the reason we can't win the ship??

 

[TheyCallMeAzul]

It's amazing Chuck believes there's such thing as being "too small" to win a title given the Heat's run. I don't think he was exactly throwing shots (didn't see the quote tho) but Draymond definitely should've been offended

 

[The_Phonz]

I'm surprised more players don't just say "ZERO TITLES" when a Charles Barkley comment is brought up. I would

Bark's comments are lies, dumb, and propaganda to exalt Cleveland (Lj). He's a puppet. All media is. OKC is a jump-shooting team that went to the Finals and got all but swept by another small jump-shooting team. Spurs just won shooting a lot of 3's. Dallas won the same way.

Green is very tough. Any team that defends at a high level, and shares the ball at a high level is close to a ch'ip. If they've made the moves they've made to improve to this high degree, why can't they add size later if they need it? Isn't Bogut on their team? To say a team that defends at a high level, and shares the ball at a high level will never win is stupid. This dude is such a puppeteer that he went as far as saying slavery wasn't that bad.
