Green Still Holds a 7 Year Grudge on Hayward

Trash talk is part of basketball.

Oh, I'm all for trash talking, but yelling crap like you are selling something in a south american market is not trash talk, is just being an annoying ***. Just like Durant's insult to Rudy, passing by and avoiding eye contact, it's not trash talking, that's passive-aggressive bs of the first order.
 
And tbph, Hayward wouldn't have hit Draymonds arm if he had a conventional shooting motion. Hayward contested that shot the same as he contests other shots, he just forgot about Draymonds gross shooting motion

That may be, but you still have to have some decorum. Never saw Stockton chirpin at anybody (though he took a lot of it) and he's arguably the best point guard of all time (assists and steals leader). Say what you want about Jordan and Magic but they weren't over the top with it either. Guys like Draymond and P. Beverly take gamesmanship to the next level IMO - seems like they enjoy being the villain and are willing to lie, steal or cheat in order to get a win.
 
So why is the grudge against Hayward? Was Hayward supposed to rip the whistle away from the nearest ref and blow the whistle on himself? He should be pissed at the refs. If the tables were turned, and it was Green that hacked a player taking the potential game winning shot, do you really think Green would say, "Yeah, I fouled him, we shouldn't have won..." LO-****ing-L.
 
Dog Hayward got mad this off-season because certain players were having articles written about them and Hayward wasn't. They are cut from the same cloth.

First are you calling me dog or Hayward Dog Hayward? Either way lol

Second they are not cut from the same cloth. Thought experiment: Jazz trade Hayward to gsw for Draymond Green.results?
 
Wow, that's what you got from that?

I thought it was a great story. Just shows what a competitor he is. I cant believe people are taking negative things from this.
Is he mad at hayward for not calling the foul?

How is that a thought experiment that answers the question? They are both hard workers who have a lot of self-motivation and have achieved way more than was ever thought of them.

Everyone doesnt have to play the game like John Stockton.
