It’s no secret that the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies dislike each other. If there wasn’t already enmity between them, it has just grown since their most recent clash.
When the Grizzlies faced the Warriors on Friday night, there was a heated moment when Draymond Green tripped Zach Edey while attempting to run. After the game, it was reviewed and determined to be a flagrant 1 foul. Taylor Jenkins, the Grizzlies’ coach, had words for Green after the game, and Green did not take them well.
During the newest episode of The Draymond Green Show, Green absolutely ripped Zach Edey for allowing his coach to complain to the media. It’s bizarre that Edey somehow caught strays in the hostility when all he did was get tripped.
“He’s big enough to possibly have fooled people that he could be a little tough, and now nobody believe you,” Green said.
“Now Joel Embiid gonna like try to put his chest into the stanchion just to see… Ya’ll gotta stop breeding these soft dudes man. Stop making these guys turn out to be snitches and soft and going to tell, because you are a big man!”
In all honesty, it doesn’t feel like there’s much merit to what Green is saying. The modern NBA players don’t check younger players like they used to just 10 years ago. No one is tackling Victor Wembanyama like they regularly tackled Blake Griffin. Those days have been longer, and Green is just unable to be held accountable for his actions.
