An always energized Draymond Green took the chance to school some students in the art of trash talk during a Champs Sports ad, detailing one of his most recent back-and-forth battle with recently-retired Paul Pierce.

Green reminisced about how it all happened, not only on a nationally televised game, but also in the very first minute of action, as Pierce yelled incessantly from the bench, claiming Green couldn't guard Blake Griffin.

The Golden State Warriors forward had gotten in his defensive stance, preventing Griffin from backing him down, until he spun, pump faked and caught Green jumping, immediately drawing the foul.

Pierce kept on mouthing off, inciting a response from the Defensive Player of the Year.

Green's famously vicious shot at a future Hall of Famer was one of the most-played soundbites in this past NBA season, but it surely doesn't get old to hear it again from someone who's made trash-talking a vitally innate part of his game to this day.
