  • Draymond Green has named his top five trash talkers in the NBA
  • The Golden State Warriors named the usual suspects, including himself
  • Green is one of the biggest trash-talkers in the league

The NBA entertains millions of fans all over the world. The dunks, the crossovers, and the buzzer-beaters always get the fans up their seat. However, trash-talking is something that creates rivalries and entertainment fans crave.

Draymond Green, one of the best trash talkers in the game today, has named his top five trash talkers in the NBA.

The Golden State Warriors veteran named himself Patrick Beverley, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Chris Paul. Green was speaking during The Match charity golf event, which involved his Warriors teammates Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, per Bleacher Report.

Green is probably the most prominent trash-talker in the NBA right now. Beverley has had run-ins with several NBA superstars, becoming one of the most hated players, just like Green.

Paul, who is set to join the Warriors, is known as a trash talker, and some consider him a dirty player. He is also one of the most hated players in the league.

Green declines player option

Green recently declined his $27.6 million player option for the 2023-24 season, but he could return to the team he's played for all his NBA career.

The 2017 Defensive Player of the Year has been a vital player for the Warriors dynasty, helping them to win four NBA titles in nine seasons, as Sports Brief reported.

The 33-year-old is looking to land one last big deal in his career.

Curry and Thompson react to CP3 trade

Sports Brief earlier reported on Curry and his Warriors teammate Thompson reacting to the news that long-time rival Chris Paul will join them in San Francisco next season.

"Every team that CP has been on gets better." Curry said. "That’s the most consistent thing about him, and who he is and what he brings to the team."

The Warriors shook the NBA world by announcing they were trading Jordan Poole for 38-year-old Chris Paul.
