Overview
- On The Draymond Green Show, the Warriors forward criticized Kenyon Martin’s résumé and said the former No. 1 pick "underachieved."
- Green noted Martin was a one-time All-Star with no All-Defensive selections and contrasted that with his own career impact.
- Martin had recently labeled Green a "fake tough guy," a remark that circulated widely on social media and sports outlets.
- Green said he hesitated to respond because he did not want to amplify Martin or disrespect a player he admired growing up.
- Coverage situates the exchange within Green’s slow start this season—7.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists on 39.1% shooting—and the Warriors’ 9–8 record.
