Green was invited to assess the format on a scale of 1-10. He said it was a “zero”.
“You work all year round to be an All-Star and you can play up to 40, then you are finished. It’s so unfair for Victor Wembanyama, who has just taken this game very seriously,” -It said, via the new York post. “Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has just taken this game very seriously. When you talk about running after the record record, Melo, Kobe and all those guys who have had a big night’s nights. They don’t have the Opportunity to do it with this game.
“Everything so that we can watch rising stars. We are about to watch the Olympic team, now we get the treat to watch the Olympic team play against a U-19 team. Come on, what do we do? is ridiculous. “
He also said: “It sucks” and “it’s not basketball”.

Barkley put the ones on Green and his generation of basketball stars for the lack of importance of the stars.

“So don’t act as if they were crazy because they try to use recruits … We do all types of things to make this game exciting.”
Green also rocked the feathers of Oscar Robertson during the weekend.
The NBA champion said matches right now are “boring” with “no substance”. The advent of an increase in the 3 -point shot was to blame. NBA notes also suffered due to the game during the regular season.
“Each possession is a type of failure. It is not a substance.
Robertson did not have time for Green’s remarks.
“Who cares about what Draymond says? That doesn’t mean anything,” said Robertson on Siriusxm NBA radio. “This is what I mean, a guy can say this, another guy can say it. The game is what it is. Either people like the game or it does not do it, and I think the People like the game, especially if their team can win.
