Draymond Green made it clear that he's not here for the recent TNT criticism, especially from Charles Barkley.
"Barkley should stop before I go take his job because I can do that well, too," Draymond said. "He didn't make enough money playing so he needs that job, but he should stop talking to me. I have a tendency to end people so he should stop before I take his job."
Green continued, "He also can't talk basketball with me either. Not smart enough, not qualified. No rings, can't sit at this table."

— 95.7 The Game (@957thegame) March 6, 2020Barkley mocked Green on TNT's broadcast after the power forward got ejected against the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 27.
"He had his normal triple-single," Barkley said of Green. "He talks all that stuff. Now that he's got to go out there and fight for himself, he just don't want to play. Give me a break. Y'all better quit telling me who can tell who can play and who can't play, I can tell who can play and who can't play."

— NBA RETWEET (@RTNBA) February 28, 2020Chuck and Draymond's feud dates back to May 2018 after Barkley said he "wanted to punch Draymond in the face" and Green dared him to. The Round Mound of Rebound issued a public apology for his comments and it appeared they made amends when Green was a guest on TNT's Oracle Arena set after Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.
Green expressed the "respect" he has for Barkley, who was once one of the NBA's most dominant power forwards.
"Much respect from my way." -- pic.twitter.com/VQRoH23szV
