Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is not yet done hurling insults at Kendrick Perkins after the now sports analyst said he's scared to shoot.
Ahead of the Warriors' Game 6 against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, Perkins discussed some of the concerns for the Dubs in the showdown. During his appearance on ESPN's First Take, Perk called out the former Defensive Player of the Year and said he is too “afraid” to shoot given that he's not even looking at the basket.
Green didn't take the criticism kindly and went on an epic rant after their closeout victory, during which he called Perkins a “big ogre.”
"Something came up on my phone earlier. A guy saying I'm scared to shoot the basketball. 'Scared' and 'me' in the same sentence is like brutal. But you got a big ogre on TV saying what Draymond say ain't the gospel."

While Kendrick Perkins himself had since responded to Draymond Green's insult, the Warriors star clearly doesn't want it to end any time soon. On Twitter, he responded to some commenters and took a shot at Big Perk.
The Warriors vet agreed that Perkins always criticizes him because it is his way to stay relevant. Green also mocked the one-time NBA champion and highlighted how he had a couple of decent seasons–as if saying the rest of his career is forgettable.




Of course. I make him more relevant.

He had a couple half decent seasons…

By the looks of it, this feud between Green and Perk isn't going to stop any time soon. The Warriors are heading to the Western Conference Finals, and it's likely Perkins will keep criticizing Dray whenever he sees bad plays from him.
As for Green, no one expects him to shut up and take the criticisms if it's unwarranted.
