Calling out people publicly is not a difficult task for the Golden State Warriors, Draymond Green. The former defensive player of the year never shies away from speaking his mind, especially when it comes to criticizing someone. However, usually the star does this on his podcast, but this time while he appeared as a guest, Green took a jibe at sports commentator, Skip Bayless.
Draymond Green was the most recent guest on Shaquille O’Neal‘s ‘The Big Podcast’. As the Warriors forward is great friends with LeBron James, Green took the opportunity to call out Skip Bayless during the episode. Green referred to Bayless as the biggest hater outside the NBA for his opinions on James.
The biggest hater outside the NBA is Skip Bayless for sure. Dude just sit up there and spew hate. I hope I give him a soundbite for his show because it’s dying. Like when you’re hating on LeBron James every single day, for instance, it’s like there’s nothing this man has done to give you something to hate on every single day like you’re a hater Draymond Green on The Big Podcast
Despite being on-court rivals for a long time, Green and James share a close friendship. On numerous times, Green has shown support to his agency-mate. Hence, it was not surprising when the forward had James’ back while Shaq asked him about the biggest hater.

It is not a secret that during this season, Green has gotten into more than a few altercations on the court. Some of these altercations have also started quarrels and beefs off the court. One of them is with the Phoenix Suns’ Jusuf Nurkic, which resulted in an indefinite suspension for the four-time champion.
Since then, the pair has been quite the rivals off the court. Hence, including Shaq himself, many expected Green to take Nurkic’s name while revealing the biggest hater inside the NBA. Green called out the Suns’ forward for his poor playoff record compared to his Warriors’ resume.
Biggest hater inside the NBA is Nurkic.’Uh I need help’, ‘That brother still needs help’. Like. No. You need help. Big softie. Draymond Green on The Big Podcast
With his on-court antics, Green did not end his season with the Warriors on a good note. The 2022 champions had to go home without even reaching the postseason. Green and the Warriors are certainly looking to make a comeback next season, as they expected to make some changes to their roster.
