Charles Barkley may have ended the feud he started between him and Draymond Green on Tuesday.
Barkley said he wanted to punch the Golden State Warriors’ power forward in the face during halftime of the Warriors’ Game 2 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, leading to a strong response from Green who told him to put his money where his mouth is.
After both from Green and his mother fired back at the Hall of Famer, Barkley apologized Wednesday but made it clear he meant what he said.
“I meant what I said, but I would never punch an NBA player,” Barkley said on TNT. “Draymond Green is a good player. I think he’s a nice kid. I wish him nothing but the best, but what I said was inappropriate … My personal opinion should never come across in a comment I make about a team or a player. It did last night. Draymond is a hell of a player, he’s an irritant, but he’s a hell of a player. What I said was wrong, and I apologize.”
Interesting.
Green and the Warriors are preparing for their Game 3 matchup against the Pelicans on Friday night. Golden State has a 2-0 lead in the second round of the NBA playoffs.
