"I just don't like Golden State. I don't like anything to do with them. Draymond talks a lot. Gets away with a lot, too. His game is cool – with Golden State – but if you put him anywhere else, you're not going to know who Draymond is. He plays with heart, plays hard, knows the ins and outs of their defense. I guess that's why they like him over there."
Green broke down Brooks’ comments piece by piece on "The Draymond Green Podcast," saying the Grizzlies aren’t ready to win a championship.
"His game is cool," Green said as he read from the interview with ESPN.

"If you ever wondered why the Memphis Grizzlies is not ready to compete for a championship, look no further than this idiot right here. They’re actually depending on this guy to help them win a championship. And he says ‘his game is cool.’ Quite frankly, that just shows how little you know about basketball."
Green went on to question whether Brooks’ teammates even like playing with him.
