Retired NBA player Kenyon Martin took aim at Draymond Green on an episode of Gilbert Arenas' podcast Gil's Arena, where he attacked Green's career for his reputation for fighting with other players. 

Martin's big issue with the way that Green picks fights is that he feels that Green picks and chooses who to get physical with, instead of being willing to go after anyone. Martin said that he couldn't put Green up with other historic NBA "tough guys" because of that and because of the protection from referees that he feels Green receives.

"For one reason or another I don't put him [Green] in the category with the guys that I've named... I think a lot of the things and that people who he has done things to has been calculated," Martin claimed.

"It's not spur-of-the-moment things, It ain't reactionary things," Martin said. "He hasn't hit someone or did something to someone that someone's instant reaction is the next step." 

To say that Green took Martin's comments personally would be an understatement. Green posted a video on X where he expressed his disappointment for Martin's comments toward his career, then went on a tear where he compared Martin's career to his own. 

"It's a little disappointing to see the constant shots. You would think there would be more love. But when you were the No. 1 pick and underachieved, I guess that would be the reason why.  To be the No. 1 pick and make the All-Star game one time, most would say is an underachievement. I was the 35th pick and made the All-Star game 4x," Green said (via Ballislife.com)  

Martin was the number one overall pick of the 2000 NBA Draft by the then-New Jersey Nets. Martin did enjoy a 15 season NBA career and was selected as an All-Star in 2004. He also appeared in back-to-back NBA Finals with the Nets in 2001 and 2002, but Green was clearly not impressed with the retired big man's resume.

"If I stop playing basketball today, my career was better, way more impactful. I think Kenyon lost a couple of NBA Finals. He got to sniff it. Didn't get a taste, but got a little sniff. Your resume got to be a little better to keep taking shots," Green said. 

Martin made it clear during his statement that he wasn't going after Green's talents as a player, and even celebrated everything that he had achieved with the Golden State Warriors. Green didn't see it that way, however, and responded to Martin's call out with reminders of his legacy in hand. 

"To continue to call my name out as if I underachieved. I was the 35th pick, and it worked out, and became one of the greatest players in franchise history," Green said.
