“Lost me at David Lee, Al Jefferson, and NENE LMFAOO,” one fan said.
Kenyon Martin fired back at Draymond Green on social media after Green labeled him an underachiever, posting a video in which Martin challenged Green’s standing among power forwards and declared he could name “200 people better at basketball” than Green.
Martin acknowledged Green’s importance to Golden State’s championships but framed him as a premier “glue” player rather than an elite individual talent, reading off a list of all-time power forwards that placed Green well outside the top tier.
“I can name 200 people better at basketball than Draymond Green,” said Martin. “That’s people. I dumbed it down to just…I was going to cut it short, but by basketball savant-ness kicked in, and this is where we are with this situation. So here is Kenyon’s power forward list, this 50, right?”
Martin used statistical context to bolster his critique, pointing to Green’s modest career averages and dubbing him “Mr. Triple Single,” and argued that Green’s impact is more complementary than dominant when Steph Curry is absent.
The former No. 1 pick contrasted his own scoring responsibilities on past teams with Green’s role in Golden State, suggesting the latter’s contributions, while valuable, do not equate to the traditional star profile.
The exchange has escalated into a public back-and-forth between the two Saginaw, Michigan, natives, drawing attention across social platforms and prompting expectations that Green will respond on his podcast.

Another fan used Martin’s list to prove that former players would make “horrible GMs.”
“This is asinine,” the fan said. “Warriors dynasty doesn’t happen without Draymond’s defensive versatility and passing. Exhibit #348888 that former players would make horrible GMs.”
NBA fans, meanwhile, are looking forward to how the Warriors can emerge in the later part of the regular season.
