BOSTON - Keep as a primary concern: Draymond Green was asked who propelled his junk talking, old-school-genuineness style.
Not thinking this was a Wendy's, the Warriors forward superbly steered his response entirely toward something else.
The inquiry referenced 1980s Celtics player Cedric Maxwell, who said Green would "have thumped the [****] out" in those days. Thus, Green entertainingly jumped on previous players talking like that.
"There were a couple of folks in those days that would spread you out, that would take you out, that would foul you and get tossed out the game," Green said. "Charge Laimbeer Rick Mahorn. In any case, everyone is going around behaving like they were that.
"You all were getting harassed. So it confuses me when each person - because they played during the '80s since they played during the '90s - is like, 'Man, assuming you played in our day, you'd get taken out.
"OK, so you're saying Rick Mahorn could have taken me out? Rick Mahorn presumably takes you out. Charge Laimbeer presumably spreads you out."
The NBA had more fantastic rawness in those days. In any case, somebody as extreme as Green would have fit flawlessly. There's an explanation he doesn't look like the implementers of days of old.
"Their fine was likewise two bucks," Green said. "It's simply not that very day and age. If I take someone out, I will most likely get fined 1,000,000 bucks.
Green also accurately called attention to the fact that present players are more gifted than at earlier ages.
"Contrasting the rawness of the game and everyone behaving like they were only the most physical and severe implementers," Green said, "it resembles everyone behaving like they shoot the ball like Steph Curry today."
"Envision me in 20 years, similar to, 'Man, on the off chance that you played in my day, you needed to shoot,'" Green said in an ideal portion of humble humour.
