Draymond Green’s dislike for Minnesota Timberwolves big man Rudy is well-documented, and the Warriors veteran recently took his criticism to television.
But Eddie Johnson’s seen enough. The former 17-year NBA pro and current Phoenix Suns color analyst responded to Green’s criticism of with a forceful social media post on Saturday morning, following Luka decisive 3-pointer over the Wolves center in Game 2 of the Western Conference playoffs.
“You cannot let your jealousy of a man who has [four Defensive Player of the Year awards] to your [one], cloud your professionalism on national TV as an employed analyst!” Johnson wrote (h/t Awful Announcing). “A current player is ripping another for personal reasons who is in a conference final
You cannot let your jealousy of a man with four DPOY to your one to undermine your professionalism as an employed commentator on national television! It is incorrect to criticize another player for personal reasons who is in a conference final and you have been hired to comment about the game!
Johnson became enraged after Minnesota fans screamed “Draymond sucks” at the Warriors forward during an interview with Dončić on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” show after the Dallas Mavericks won Game 2.
Green replied to the supporters, “Rudy sucks, not me.” “What have I done?”
Timberwolves supporters still dislike Green for his comments about Minnesota during the conference semifinals, when he stated Anthony Edwards and Co. wouldn’t beat the Denver Nuggets and threw in a lot of criticism along the way.
