Draymond Green clown Adam Silver, NBA for the new format of the All-Star game

On the eve of this year’s All-Star weekend, which will be the first time that the commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silverwill implement a USA vs. World tournament format for the All-Star Game, Golden State Warriors a veteran Draymond Green not a fan. After Green had time to call Doris Burke for his views on Draymond over the year, he turned to silverware and the new NBA format.

Green said in the introduction that the All-Star game is traditional East vs. West formatin which the best players from their conferences compete, has produced some of the most competitive games in the rich history of the NBA, he told The Draymond Green Show along with NBA analyst Skip Bayless.

“I remember Kobe had his nose broken in the All-Star game. He had a broken nose. Those guys really, really competed,” Green said. “When you look at it back then, it wasn’t the same as it is, and until we accept that and just stop saying, ‘But look at those guys and what they did — they played hard. The old saying: If you knew better, you’d do better.’

“So if I know my body better, then I’m going to deal with my body better. So until that’s a priority, I don’t think you’re going to have a good game.”

In today’s NBA, high-level competition in the All-Star Game hasn’t been the case in years. Green says that changing the format won’t make the game better.

“Best in the East, Best in the West, it works when the game is good. We do all these different tricks it’s more of a joke. It looks good for a year, it’s a quick fix, but then you’re like I don’t want to see it again. Because it wasn’t the game I grew up with. I can’t see this world against G and Shaq was in the East and then it was on the K. West, I can’t do that, it doesn’t make sense to me, it’s not the same thing.

Draymond Green calls out Adam Silver and the NBA for the new All Star format, calling it a joke on the league:

For Green, the NBA All-Stars of certain eras, such as the 1990s and 2000s, are what made the All-Star Game past special, something he believes there is no new format to help Adam Silver revive today’s NBA stars.

How Warriors’ Draymond Green Fired Doris Burke

A war veteran Draymond Green called out NBA commentator Doris Burke because he supposedly had a critical eye when it came to the veteran’s approach. Green said to Burke she rarely says anything nice about himand this has always been the case throughout his career, he said in his Threads.

“She’ll always ignore things that happen to me and only half mention the good ones. And shoot when they’re available. It’s been like that for a while…”

Green and the Warriors enter the All-Star break at 29-26.
