The biggest knock on Draymond Green has always been his inability to score consistently. The Golden State Warriors forward plays alongside two of the most automatic offensive weapons ever to play in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and yet he himself is no expert at putting the ball in the basket.
But Green doesn't want to hear that slander. The Warriors star was vocal against his haters who call him out for failing to produce more offensively and relying too much on Curry and Thompson.
Via the Warriors star's appearance on Uninterrupted:
“That's why there's a lot of unsuccessful people and a lot of f—ing dumb—s and you can tell by the criticism that comes to you,” said the Warriors star. “I found that solace in that in over the last couple of years and just like listening to people, and what they say, and the criticism, it actually shows you how f—ing stupid people are through their criticism.”
“People would say, ‘Draymond, you should shoot!' But if I can get Steph Curry the ball for a f—ing shot, why would I shoot? You're actually a f—ing idiot for thinking I should shoot because I can get him the shot, and if he's half-open it's better than anyone else in the world.”

Does Draymond Green have a point? He does, to an extent. Draymond isn't wrong in the sense that getting Stephen Curry and sort of space to operate is a better offensive set than anything he can muster himself. He's turned himself into an excellent playmaker and has undeniable chemistry with his Golden State teammate. But at the same time, had he turned into a better offensive weapon maybe it opened the game up for the Warriors' 2-time MVP even more.
But at the end of the day, the Warriors already won their rings and built their dynasty with Draymond Green playing just the way he always has. It's hard to argue with success.
