NBA news: Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is currently in a full-blown war of words with ex-teammate Jordan Poole’s father. The latter did not appreciate Green’s recent comments about punching his son last offseason, which prompted the protective father to come to Jordan’s defense. You just knew it was going to get ugly the moment Mr. Poole called Draymond a ‘b*tch.’

It all started with Green providing some insight on his infamous knockout punch on Green from last summer.
“I don’t just hit people,” Green said on a recent episode of Patrick Beverley’s podcast. “Dialogue happens over time and you usually ain’t triggered by something that fast… We know stuff you don’t say amongst men. We know things that you have to stand on.”

These comments did not sit well with Jordan’s dad, Anthony Poole, at all, and he decided to clap back with a scathing NSFW tirade. Green himself caught wind of the slander and quickly responded with his own jab:

Even Jordan Poole himself seems to have gotten involved in the row:

This has turned real ugly real fast and it’s obviously not a good look for either Draymond Green or Jordan Poole. Needless to say, there are still some unsettled emotions between these two former teammates.
NBA News: How Draymond Green Once Got A Bucks Fan Ejected
Draymond Green has definitely been in his fair share of controversies. Just this past season, he was involved in an incident with a Milwaukee Bucks fan at the Fiserv Forum that eventually led to the said supporter getting escorted out of the game by security.
Green got into a verbal spat with the fan and at one point, the Warriors star felt like he was being threatened by the supporter. He called the referee’s attention, who in turn, asked security to remove the fan from the arena.

Let’s just say this incident has not exactly endeared Draymond among Bucks supporters.
