Draymond Green sees an ‘art’ to brilliant smack-talking

The brash trash-talking of Draymond Green is well-known, and its latest iterations were explored by ESPN this weekend.

“There’s an art to trash-talking,” the Warriors star told ESPN. “I’ve been doing this for a very long time. … I absolutely love it.”

Green has “mastered” that art, as ESPN proclaimed.

“He really eats off of (talking trash) and he really thrives off of that,” teammate JaVale McGee told ESPN. “The way that he just talks smack to the other team, we got his back, so it’s good.”

Green also does his homework, as ESPN’s Chris Haynes wrote, on how to exploit opponents’ head-space.
