For the yearly end-of-season awards, Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green shared his hot take on the NBA’s new 65-game rule. That is, in order to be eligible for both the All-NBA team and the individual honors, players must participate in at least 65 games. Green stated that despite appreciating the goal of the rule change, he believes that it will lead to “bums” being selected for the All-NBA teams.
Unsurprisingly, The Warrios vet’s polarizing take has earned more than a few negative comments on the mean streets of Twitter:
interesting..
– Draymond views many of his colleagues as “bums” ?
– he thinks the rule change won’t make star players want to play more to be eligible for all-NBA ? https://t.co/To2RIdrHsJ

Pretty crazy that Draymond will talk about bums winning awards when he's on record saying that today's players are the best that NBA players have ever been. https://t.co/pIgoRNeXj3

At this point, it’s safe to say that more than a few folks out there don’t necessarily agree with the Warriors star’s opinion. In fact, they’re pretty much ripping Dryamond apart for his unsavory comments toward his NBA “brothers.”
To be fair, Draymond Green does have bit of a point here. It’s very much possible that deserving players are ousted from the All-NBA squad or robbed of their individual year-end award just because they missed more than 17 games on the season due to injury. Then again, it is clear that the general public is calling Green out for labeling other NBA players as “bums.” After all, you’re still a pretty good player if you’re in contention for a spot on the All-NBA team or even more significantly, as a forerunner for the league’s Most Valuable Player award.
Draymond Green has had his fair share of hot takes in the past, but this one is out there for sure.
