After being called the “dirtiest player in NBA history by the host of the talking head, Draymond Green has more to say about Skip Bayless – the one who made the assertion.

The NBA Champion responded in the most recent podcast episode of The Draymond Green Show, taking the back-and-forth to a more intimate place.

Following his savage disdain for his program Undisputed and its purportedly low viewership, Green started to disparage Skip’s persona, declaring that he is just “better than you at life.”

Green insinuated that Shannon Sharpe abandoned Bayless: “Everyone has been skipping past him and he comes out and says he’ll have me eating out the palm of his hands if I come on the show. I am not coming on your show, Skip. I’m going to keep skipping past you just like everybody else skipped on you. Because that show is dead, no one wants to hear you talk anymore. In the words of Richard Sherman, ‘I am better than you. I am better than you at life.’ I am just better than you. Skippin’ Skip.”

Later, he turned around in his seat and pointed out to Bayless his championship rings, which were artfully arranged around a glittering gold NBA trophy in a true Draymond troll manner.

He went on to ask the Fox Sports star a question about his life’s achievements and added a twist to a well-known Jay-Z statement for more “razzle-dazzle.”

Green asked: “You own a unit like this or any of these things? You need more people; you don’t have our respect.”

Steph Curry, who typically avoids little disagreements, entered the Instagram comments section of the widely shared video and wrote, “Been skipping!” along with a bunch of fast-forward emojis.

In response to Green’s comments that he was the “biggest hater in sports media,” Skip Bayless referred to Green as the “dirtiest player in NBA history” during a recording of The Skip Bayless Show last month.

The commentator listed all of the instances in which Green acted in an unethical manner while playing the game, saying: “The startling reality about Draymond Green is revealed here. Without a doubt, Draymond Green is the dirtiest player in NBA history. Draymond Green is by far the dirtiest player in the history of the NBA. Check out his lowlight recordings of the parade of Draymond Green’s most vulgar plays from the years past. The risky plays, the cheap shots, and the low blows. The ultimate cheap shot artist is Draymond.”
