Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is continuing to wage war on “old media” and name-dropped a handful of NBA analysts on Sunday in the latest episode of his podcast.
Green has made himself the face of “new media” since starting The Draymond Green Show and is holding analysts accountable for their hot takes.
The four-time NBA champion called out Skip Bayless, Kendrick Perkins, Nick Wright, Bill Simmons, Brian Windhorst and Cedric Maxwell for their lack of integrity when it comes to what they say on television.
Green says that they should analyze the game of basketball instead of focusing on taking sides that will only start drama.
He uses Bayless spending the better part of the past decade trolling LeBron James as an example of how “old media” wants to tear athletes down.
The Warriors big man says he wouldn’t want to go on TV to discuss basketball with Bayless because he knows that it would not be a serious conversation.

He also said that Bayless can’t appear on The Draymond Green Show because he’s not a high-caliber guest as those he has previously featured on his podcast.
Green continued by going at Perkins for mimicking the style of Bayless instead of becoming a “real” analyst like JJ Redick.
Perkins recently said on Redick’s podcast that he once prayed for King James to tear his ACL and also admitted that many of his hot takes are provided to him by ESPN producers.
Green tells Perkins that as a former player, he should take the time to analyze the game like Redick and CJ McCollum instead of delivering clickbait takes.
He also spoke about Wright, a friend of The Volume Sports creator Colin Cowherd, for trashing the Warriors on countless ocassions while lifting up LeBron as much as he can.
Green’s overall point is that “old media” must stop taking sides and instead analyze the game as objective as possible.
