Draymond on James-Barkley beef: 'I think LeBron won'

Draymond Green and LeBron James haven't always had the most pleasant of interactions on the hardwood, yet that's not preventing the Golden State Warriors All-Star from being on Team King when it comes to his recent war of words with TNT analyst Charles Barkley.

"Then, I looked back to see what Barkley said, and then my reaction was like, 'Ahhh, Bron. I don't know if you needed to go that deep, Bron.'

"For me to feel like that about Charles Barkley, Bron really had to cut deep. He went deep for something that wasn't as deep. However, it was an accumulation of things ... that's 10 years Bron been listening to this guy. … So when I heard that, I said OK, kill him, LeBron. I like that. ... Hey, may the best man win. I think LeBron won that one."

Had Green been in James' shoes, he feels his short fuse would have caused him to go back at Barkley a lot sooner, rather than let his controversial response simmer in his head until one day letting loose all his frustration.

"It wouldn't take much for me to go after someone like that," Green admitted. "This (is) gonna sound really cliche, but I would go after Charles Barkley like that. I think he got what he deserved, and like I said, it was a bit much …"
