Being a part of one of the 30 teams in the NBA doesn't guarantee you know how to play the game of basketball, apparently.

Hanging out in a New Orleans barbershop over All-Star Weekend for ESPN's "The Shop" (released online Friday), Draymond Green and LeBron James talked sports, music, and a slew of other topics with a number of special guests.

James had just finished a rant about how crucial it is for players to understand their roles, and that it's important for certain guys to stick to what they know on the court, because what they provide is extremely valuable. If they don't, then the head coach or team leader needs to nip it in the bud right away.

To bounce off of that, Green added that there are a lot players in the league that don't know how to play basketball, which The King agreed with.

"They can play basketball, but don't know how," said the Golden State Warriors forward.

Green and James are on opposing sides in this year's Finals and seeing a heavy dose of minutes, so it's safe to assume they know what they're doing out on the hardwood.
