Draymond Green just won his fourth NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors<\/a>. However, sometimes it seems like he's more concerned with the media<\/a> and his podcast hosting duties than basketball. The forward has made headlines of late, disparaging the old media<\/a> and touting the future of “new media,” which he sees as only former players discussing professional sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longtime NBA pundit Bill Simmons, of The Ringer, recently discussed Green's former teammate, Kevin Durant, on his podcast. When Simmons started discussing Durant's state of mind, he quickly caught himself and trolled Green for his new media whining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Draymond Green has talked up the new media \u2014 former players discussing sports<\/a> directly without analysts, journalists, or talking heads \u2014 a lot in recent months. He's taken plenty of old media to task for sharing their opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest example of this was criticizing SportsCenter<\/em> anchor Zubin Mehenti for calling Kevin Durant “emotional.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just watched the anchor on Sportscenter with Nick Fredell (sic) discuss KD wanting a trade, and called him emotional\u2026,” the Golden State Warriors player tweeted. “Who are you to call someone emotional? What makes you comfortable? Talk BASKETBALL! Computers got y'all overly comfortable.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
