Draymond Green has been on both ends of a furious comeback in his basketball career. This past week he witnessed an incredible rally in an NFL game, but it has not changed his opinion of the player that led it.
In a new edition of his podcast "Why is Draymond Green Talking About Football," the Golden State Warriors player was questioned by co-host Jordan Schultz about his opinion on Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Schultz was curious to know whether Green would hold Allen in higher regard after an amazing comeback win against the Baltimore Ravens this past Sunday.
"Just because he's a damn good quarterback, that doesn't make him the guy," Green told Schultz. "He's never going to get it done when it matters the most."
Green's skepticism could be rooted in the fact that, with Allen as the franchise player, the Bills have gone to the AFC Championship game twice but fell short of booking a trip to the Super Bowl. Still, the former Wyoming Cowboys player has racked up individual awards, which consists of two All-Pro nods and three Pro Bowl selections.
It seems, though, that a certain four-time NBA champion will only give Allen unqualified praise once he hoists the Vince Lombardi trophy on the Super Bowl stage.
Draymond Green explains why LeBron James is his pick for GOAT
As for his own sport, Green has explained for a long time that LeBron James is his GOAT. In a recent livestream, Green doubled down on this opinion by comparing the supporting cast of James to that of Michael Jordan.
"MJ had Pippen, Bron was winning games with Matthew Delladova," Green argued. "That guy stinks, no disrespect.”
While Green never got the chance to play against Jordan in his heyday, he has gone up against his good buddy James in four back-to-back Finals series. For more reasons than one, Green's pick in the GOAT debate is not surprising at all.
