Let the back and forth begin.<\/p>\n
Following Draymond Green\u2019s comments on Austin Rivers<\/a>\u2019 opinion about his controversial take on coach Steve Kerr<\/a>, the former NBA guard shared a lengthy response, firing back at the Warriors star.<\/p>\n \u201cCome on, Draymond, this is ridiculous,\u201d Rivers said Tuesday in an Instagram post<\/a>. \u201cBut you know what, I\u2019m going to address it because you crossed the line and you are mad disrespectful for whatever reason. You\u2019ve been around too long. We both were drafted in the same class.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fact that you don\u2019t have the wherewithal to do your due diligence and actually understand I was being highly complementary of you on ‘The Dan Patrick Show,’ but it\u2019s you, and I shouldn\u2019t be surprised. You always act irrationally, emotionally [and immaturely], and your anger always puts you in hot water.\u201d<\/p>\n Rivers\u2019 statement is a direct response to Green calling out the 11-year NBA veteran for revealing his bewilderment toward the former Defensive Player of the Year\u2019s comments that Kerr might have \u201chindered\u201d<\/a> the trajectory of his career.<\/p>\n \u201cI 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, would say such things,\u201d Green said Monday on \u201cThe Draymond Green Show.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cHe goes, \u2018Draymond’s never been a scorer.\u2019 Well, Austin, you and I averaged the same amount of points in high school when you were a scorer. \u2026 And I say high school because that’s when you were at your best.\u201d<\/p>\n \n
