Charles Barkley really doesn’t care for Draymond Green, to the point where he’s now bringing it up to Green’s own teammate.

Apparently, Draymond Green is still getting under Charles Barkley’s skin. But, as anyone who closely follows the NBA would know, that’s not exactly a hard thing to do.

The beef between Barkley, a Hall of Famer and current analyst for TNT, and Green, a current forward for the defending champion Golden State Warriors, began a few weeks ago during the early stages of the 2018 playoffs.

Green, as he’s been known to do, was getting into the face of New Orleans Pelicans guard Rajon Rondo during a first round playoff game, prompting the always outspoken Barkley to say, “I just want somebody to punch him in the face.”

Green responded to the comments by saying Barkley was “old” and if he’s not actually going to punch him in the face, then he should just shut up.

A few weeks have passed, the Warriors are now up two games to one on the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Finals, but it seems that Barkley is still plenty fed up with Green. After the Warriors finished routing the Rockets 126-85 at the Oracle Arena in Game 3, Golden State forward Kevin Durant joined the TNT crew for a postgame interview.

Barkley didn’t hesitate to bring up the topic with Durant, asking him if Green was just as annoying in person as he is on television. Durant had a pretty good response.

“You should go talk to him. He’s downstairs.”

Following that, Barkley didn’t have much to say. Obviously, he has no intention of actually confronting Green about his behavior. It’s just a classic case of Barkley being Barkley, trying to stir up drama on his NBA television show. He’s been doing this kind of thing for years.

But he should probably get used to Draymond Green being annoying, because trash talking is a huge part of his game, and he’s not going anywhere any time soon.
