Kenyon Martin Counters Draymond Green With Instagram Live Defense of His Career

The back-and-forth has moved from a viral clip to a public résumé fight across their own platforms.

Overview

  • On Nov. 21, Draymond Green used his podcast to call Kenyon Martin an underachiever, citing Martin’s single All-Star selection and lack of All-Defensive honors.
  • On Nov. 22, Martin answered on Instagram Live, saying he could name 200 players better than Green and highlighting his No. 1 pick status and two NBA Finals trips with the Nets.
  • Martin’s initial critique characterized Green’s tough-guy image as “calculated,” arguing he targets opponents unlikely to retaliate.
  • Clips of the exchange circulated widely on NBA social accounts, amplifying the dispute across podcasts, Instagram, and sports outlets.
  • Former players weighed in online, but neither Green nor Martin signaled any de-escalation, and the feud remains a media storyline without on-court consequences.
