Andrew Nicholson fires back at Draymond Green: 'I see it as an insecurity on his end'
During a recent episode of Paul George’s Podcast P Presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment, Green went all-in on Nicholson by saying that he had a “weird” body type and that he didn’t walk and talk like a basketball player. The Warriors vet pretty much expressed his lack of respect for the former Orlando Magic power forward. Nicholson has now been given a platform, and he went full savage with his response: “I see it as an insecurity on his end,” Nicholson said on a recent podcast appearance. “… I didn’t know he was thinking about me for the last 11 years. I wasn’t thinking about y’all, I’m going to be honest with you.”

It’s no surprise that the younger dudes on the Warriors’ roster were shook when Dray hit Jordan. Wasn’t the leadership they’d heard about. Punctured the culture. Rough intro to the league. 3 of them since traded. – 12:48 AM

Stop comparing Draymond Green to Dennis Rodman — especially now. Rodman averaged 16 rebounds a game at 35 and was better defender than Draymond at this point in career. – 12:33 AM

More on this storyline
Not only did he say that Green is insecure, but Nicholson also poked fun at Draymond’s inability to pronounce the name of Nicholson’s college: “I didn’t really realize St. Bonaventure was a really hard name to pronounce,” he continued. “Maybe it’s a good thing I stayed four years in college, that’s why I could do it. I have a good program in my 44 Hoops non-profit where we do have these kinds of phonic things where we can actually help him out with that. I got no problem doing that.” -via Clutch Points / July 22, 2023
“The most unfortunate part about it is that for me as an individual and as a person … Maybe it’s just the way I was raised, but I like seeing guys do well,” Nicholson said. “Even if they are drafted above me or they’re drafted below me, that’s just my personality. … When someone has kind of that insecurity and doesn’t want to see someone else do well or is questioning 11 years later why this guy was [drafted] before me, it’s kind of disappointing.” -via Clutch Points / July 22, 2023
Green was drafted in the second round of the 2012 NBA Draft, having been selected with pick No. 35. “Not to throw salt at anybody, but, like, Andrew Nicholson was drafted over me at 19,” Green said. “When it comes to winning, half the battle is looking like a basketball player.” -via Sports Illustrated / July 8, 2023
