VIDEO: Charles Barkley Claps Back at Draymond Green After Warriors Star Threatened to Take His Job
By Will Coleman
Don't look now, but the Draymond Green-Charles Barkley trash talk saga is starting to heat up. Green's latest comments, in which he threatened to steal Barkley's analyst gig at TNT and took a shot at his lack of NBA championship rings, did not sit well with Chuck. In an appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show" on Tuesday, Barkley clapped back with a hilarious roast of the Warriors forward.
"He's the least famous person in the boy band, and he thinks he's a star. And he's not. He's lucky to be in the boy band. He thinks all the girls are screaming for him. No, they're screaming for Justin Timberlake.”

"He's like the guy in the boy band who's the least important member and he thinks the crowd is cheering for him. He doesn't realize he's standing next to Justin Timberlake," said Barkley of Green. "He don't have a face for TV, he's gotta face for radio."
Referring to Draymond as the least popular member of a boy band is a pretty hilarious jab from Barkley, suggesting he'd been carried by the success and talent of his peers. Barkley certainly doesn't feel threatened by the thought of eventually being replaced by Green on the big screen, and even took a jab at his physical appearance.

The beef between Green and Barkley extends back quite some time, but the 57-year-old has certainly had more firepower amid Golden State's miserable season.
While Green can always go home and count his rings, Chuck's getting in as many shots as possible during the Warriors' most vulnerable window.
