The Golden State Warriors’ star forward called the modern NBA “boring.”

However, the outspoken remarks didn’t sit well with everyone, especially not with Oscar Robertson. The basketball legend quickly fired back, dismissing Green’s opinion and asserting that the game remains beloved by fans around the world.

Draymond says so much, who cares what Draymond says? The game is the game. People either like the game or they don’t, & I think people like the game. It may be boring to him, because, if he’s not passing the ball to Curry, what is he doing?” Robertson said.

The 86-year-old Hall of Famer didn’t stop there. Later, he also offered a bit of a personal jab at Green’s playing style.

“It might be boring to him at times because of what he’s doing, it might be boring. When he’s out there, he’s not shooting a lot, he’s not guarding a lot, so it’s boring,” he added.

Draymond Green Criticizes NBA For Adding Rising Stars To All-Star Weekend Amid Declining Ratings

Draymond Green didn’t hold back his thoughts on the Rising Stars Game during the NBA All-Star Weekend. During his appearance on the TNT broadcast, the Warriors’ forward expressed his displeasure with the event’s inclusion and its perceived impact on the All-Star festivities.

I had to work so hard to play on Sunday night of All-Star Weekend. And because ratings are down and the game is bad, we’re bringing in Rising Stars. That’s not a fix,” Green said.

Green also criticized the players selected for the Rising Stars Game. He specifically pointed out the exclusion of San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, both of whom have been standout performers.
