Draymond Green doesn’t want any comparisons to Charles Barkley, but Chuck is more than happy to stack their games up against one another.
The Hall of Famer was incredulous Tuesday night when asked if Green could have checked him.

Green, a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, avoided the trash talk and instead provided a measured and nuanced response.
Definitely know my history. Watched a lot of Barkley in my life. We are about the same height and had/have some point forward to us.

A few similarities but a lot of difference. Comments will always be taken out of context and the questions are never told in stories.

If I can have half the career then I think I did pretty well for myself. However, I try to create my own lane in this league!

I appreciate everybody who came before me, but your job as a player is to make the game better than it was when you got it. That's my goal!
