Austin Rivers goes off on ’emotionally immature’ Draymond Green
The beef between Austin Rivers and Draymond Green is about to reach its boiling point, as the former NBA guard recently clapped back at the Golden State Warriors star for making disparaging comments about his professional career. The dispute between the two began when Rivers criticized Green for saying on his podcast that Warriors coach Steve Kerr “hindered” his growth. Green then responded with a scathing take that Rivers earned the “biggest bailout in US history” with a lucrative contract when his dad, Doc Rivers, was with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Smith over Luka Doncic trade comments “The fact that you don’t 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’s you, and I shouldn’t be surprised. You always act irrationally, emotionally immature, and your anger always puts you in hot water,” Rivers stated.
“Draymond, you are the luckiest basketball player I think I’ve ever seen, especially in modern-day history… You’re talking about Steve Kerr hindering your career. Bro, Steve Kerr made your career,” he added. Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green gestures to the crowd after being ejected.

Rebilas-Imagn Images What Draymond Green said about Steve Kerr To begin with, Green questioned Kerr’s decision not to make enough offensive plays for him, especially when Kevin Durant joined the team in the 2016 offseason. “You know, when (Kevin Durant) came from 2016 on, I have not had a play in our playbook.
Not a single play that we run for me in our playbook since 2016. You think that would hinder someone as an offensive player? Of course,” Green explained.
