Draymond Green Fires Back at Kendrick Perkins Over 'Liability' Claim

Draymond Green Fires Back at Kendrick Perkins Over 'Liability' Claim
World Sports · 21:30:09 - Sunday, 8 November 2026

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has responded sharply to criticism from former NBA player and current analyst Kendrick Perkins, who labeled Green a "liability" for his team. Green's retort, described as "Not even close," signals a continuation of the public exchange between the two basketball figures.

The disagreement highlights ongoing debates about Green's defensive impact and leadership role with the Warriors. Perkins, a former center who won a championship with the Boston Celtics, has been vocal in his assessment of Green's value. Green, a four-time NBA champion and multiple-time All-Star, has frequently defended his contributions on and off the court.

Neither party has elaborated further on the specific context of the "liability" claim, but the back-and-forth has drawn attention across NBA media circles.
