Draymond Green is not a fan of what his fellow Defensive Player of the Year winner is doing right now.
The Golden State Warriors star Green touched on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s situation with the Milwaukee Bucks on the latest episode of his self-titled podcast. Green indicated that Antetokounmpo was being ungrateful towards the Bucks.
“I love how Giannis treats the Milwaukee Bucks organization,” said Green. “He treats them like, ‘Screw y’all, and I don’t care what y’all gotta say.’ Meanwhile, they’ve given all his brothers an opportunity to play NBA basketball. It’s the craziest thing I’ve seen.
“He’s on the sideline, cheering and happy for his brothers,” Green added of Antetokounmpo. “Meanwhile, [he’s] sitting in the back, two [middle] fingers in the air, telling the Milwaukee Bucks to get the hell out of his face. And ‘I’m gonna get y’all investigated.’”
Green is referencing how Giannis’ brothers, Thanasis and Alex, are both currently on the Bucks roster and receiving minutes. Thanasis, in particular, has been in Milwaukee for six total seasons now, despite doing little to show that he actually deserves to be on an NBA roster apart from who his brother is.
In any case, Giannis’ relationship with the Bucks has now gotten absurdly toxic, especially amid the recent NBA investigation into Milwaukee’s reported disagreement with Antetokounmpo over his playing status. But Green is taking the rare (and unexpected) step this week of siding with the team over the player in this dispute.
