Green was asked to evaluate the form on a scale of 1-10. He said it was “zero.”
“You're working to be an All-Star all year round, you can play up to 40 years old, and then you're done. This is so unfair for Victor Wenbagnama, who just took this game really seriously. That's,” he said in New. York Post. “Shy Gilgaus Alexander just took this game really seriously. When you say you're chasing after the Point Records, Melo, Kobe and everyone who's had a great scoring night. They're this You don't get the chance to do that in the game.
“We can see all the rising stars. We're going to see the Olympic team. Now we're getting a treat to watch the Olympic teams against the U-19 teams.
He also said, “This sucks” and “not basketball.”
Barkley and fellow Basketball Hall of Fame Oscar Robertson led Green's remarks to the mission.

Barkley placed ONUS on Green and his generation of basketball stars due to the lack of importance in the All-Star Game.
“I'm going to be against Draymond a lot. When kids ruin a house, you clean it up to them and use analogies like they're complaining. They play the game It ruined. … His generation ruined the game.

“So don't act like he's mad because they're trying to use a rookie. We do all sorts of tricks to make this game exciting.”
Green also disrupted Oscar Robertson's feathers over the weekend.
The NBA champions said the current game is “bore” and “no substance.” The emergence of an increase in 3-point shooting was to blame. The NBA ratings have also suffered due to gameplay during the regular season.
“All possessions are a kind of chess move. You don't get it often in the NBA today. … You don't just get it regularly. It's not true. .
Robertson had no time for Green to speak.
“Who doesn't care what Draymond is saying? That doesn't make any sense,” Robertson said. SiriusXM NBA Radio. “This is what I'm saying, one guy can say this, another guy can say that. The game is what it is. Is someone who likes the game? It's either someone who isn't. Win.

“And if you watch basketball, if he doesn't give the ball to Curry, what he's doing, what he's doing, what he's doing, what he's doing, what he's doing, it's he's doing. I think he knows what he's doing, how to play basketball, so he doesn't choose that, but he's him. He's more in curry than anyone I've ever seen in basketball. You can go there.
