Draymond Green Calls Out Bill Simmons Over His Previous ‘F*ck Jalen Green’ Comments

Draymond Green has a new target.

Bill Simmons was under fire a few weeks back after he proudly stated “f— Jalen Green” during a podcast discussion about Rookie of the Year voting.

Simmons responded to that criticism by saying he was clearly joking. It wasn’t a great sequence of events for the Sports Guy, but this is part of what happens when you want to try to sound cool. Draymond Green clearly heard about it and decided to say something today.

Green reposted a video on his Instagram story from a Rockets ClutchPoints account that pointed out how it is problematic that Simmons, a 52-year-old man, has beef with a 20-year-old while also having a say in the All-NBA voting. Green posted his own commentary as well:

“How is it that this guy has a voice in deciding if Jalen Green will qualify for a super max deal? He clearly says F Him, which sounds very personal btw. But he has a say in what someone else earns? What work has he done in his life that qualifies him to have a say in an NBA players salary? @nba”

Simmons probably won’t bother to respond, this story was dead until he brought it up again.

If I’m Bill Simmons I’m not even acknowledging Draymond’s comments.
