Draymond Green Offers Up Apology For Calling Kendrick Perkins Racial Slur

You never know what Draymond Green is going to say on his podcast.

The Warriors defensive star is always talking about the “new media” and he loves to take shots at those who are still in the traditional media game.

Recently, he offered a scathing rant towards former player Kendrick Perkins, who has been critical of Draymonf in the past. Green went a little overboard in his critique of Perkins, and even called him a racial slur, “c**n.” This led to a now-deleted Twitter video response from Perkins, who lashed out against the four-time Warriors champion.

In his most recent episode of his podcast, Green admitted that he made a big mistake by using that word.

“The other day when I was speaking, I used a word that carries a racial connotation and when I used the word, I could have very well replaced the word with clown … idiot, moron. I could have replaced the word with anything and continued in stride,” Green said. “I didn’t think about it in that perspective…I do understand that the word c**n is used in a racial way. However, I also think growing up culturally, things are different…And for me, it’s like, ‘stop acting corny, you’re on some weird-type stuff. That’s wack, you don’t have to do that, that’s wack.’ So for me, in using the word, that’s what I was implying.”

You just don’t throw words like that around, I don’t blame Big Perk for showing his outrage.

Maybe now Green and Perkins are able to put this whole thing behind them.
