Draymond Green has come under fire for his hot take on prime Carmelo Anthony being a better shooter than prime Kevin Durant. While the Golden State Warriors forward chose Melo, the bulk of the basketball community is finding his take difficult to digest.
On Fox’s “First Things First,” analyst Nick Wright took a dig at Green’s “new media” while calling him out for his hypocrisy. He said the four-time NBA champion is becoming what he despises with his inauthentic and inconsistent takes.
“To be fair to Draymond, maybe Melo in his 16 minutes of the game for the Lakers changed his opinion of him,” Wright said. “Or maybe new media is falling into so many of the pitfalls old media deals with. I’m not here to say Draymond Green (the face of new media) can’t keep his takes together, because he doesn’t necessarily believe what he’s saying.
“He’s just trying to create content. What I’m saying is – actually, that’s exactly what I’m saying. What I’m saying is, Draymond has become what he most despises. The inauthentic, inconsistent taker, just giving takes for I’ve heard him call Kevin Durant the greatest scorer ever, and now he says he’s not as good as Carmelo.
“It’s just a bad take that Draymond doesn’t even believe in.”
