Draymond: Mark Cuban will never understand how it feels to be African-American

Draymond Green still isn't apologizing, nor is he backing down on his stance.

The Golden State Warriors forward said last month people should stop referring to a team's proprietor as an "owner" because being "owned by someone just sets a bad precedent to start."

Dallas Mavericks majority owner Mark Cuban disagreed with Green, saying team owners own equity, not people, and demanded an apology from the reigning Defensive Player of the Year to the NBA.

When he was initially asked about it, Green declined. But on Thursday, he said he understands how equity works and that he wouldn't expect the businessman to understand where he's coming from.

"Mark Cuban will never know or understand how it feels for me, a young black African-American, to turn on the TV and see what happened in Charlottesville. He'll never have that feeling," he said Thursday at Harvard University.

"So, when I say, 'Hey maybe we shouldn't use that word,' to be honest, I really don't expect him to understand where I'm coming from because he'll never feel what I feel when I turn on the TV and see however many people are taken down by the KKK or whatever group it was. He'll never know that feeling that I have about that.

"And you can try to understand it, and he will still never understand it to the degree that I do. ... It's not to take a shot at the owners of these entities; it's more so trying to help spark change to help others that may be similar to me, because he may feel the same way that I feel because I'm African-American."

Green concluded that Cuban is wrong for calling his opinion wrong.

"You can't say I'm dead wrong because you really don't know how it feels to turn on that TV and see a young black man shot by a police officer and he was unarmed," he said.

"You will never get that feeling, so it's hard to say I'm wrong."
