Draymond Green has always been a divisive figure in the NBA community. The player isn’t the traditional kind of player. He is a big man that is an elite defender and a great playmaker, but a poor scorer.
Green undoubtedly deserves to be respected. However, his comments at times can be incredibly controversial, and garner a lot of backlash. And it seems the 3-time champion has managed to make this type of comment yet again, dividing the NBA community yet again.
Former NBA player Chris Webber was on with the Inside Crew recently. And when the topic at hand was brought up, the analyst had a very interesting opinion to share with the world.
Chris Webber responded strongly to Draymond Green for his comments
When Draymond Green said that he believes he is the best defender to ever play, it caught Chris Webber’s attention. And after taking his time to analyze what was said, here is what the former player had to say.
“There is no way to say ever. That’s just crazy. And whoever agrees with him, you don’t know basketball. And Draymond should say what he says.”
He elaborated on what he meant.
“Two things can be right… He is the man defensively.”
He went on to say that no one should say ‘ever’ in this context, as it is just ‘crazy’ to do so. He also further went on to take the names of Dennis Rodman, Kevin Garnett and Bill Russell as players who he thought were better defenders.
Overall, though, Chris Webber was very respectful to Draymond Green. It really is refreshing to see two people in the NBA community to have a disagreement and not go ballistic, instead of those that have made a career out of doing just that.

![Jason Williams and Chris Webber have always been known to indulge in strange antics with each other, which was raised by Comedian Andrew Schulz, on his show, Flagrant. Appearing on the show, Jason Williams was asked whether he was involved "in a drive-by paintball shooting of Chris Webber's house in Sacramento". The White Chocolate burst into laughter and "plead the fifth". Williams confessed that maybe "his house caught some bullets along the way". However, to everyone's surprise, he told the comedian that "he [Chris Webber] was probably with me in some them drivebys." Adding to this, Williams also shared a hilarious story of a similar driveby with Webber, where the latter's shoe fell off but he had to somehow get it back. "We were doing that one time..we couldn't get in the gate or something so we decided we're going to go down and do our thing at the security guard at night, right, so we got two little scooters we are riding on these scooters and we dropped them in the dark and we are walking through the woods and whatever, we go the paintballs, we got the rocks, boom boom and we take off and left the scooters. But C Web's shoe falls off. And we got back and I was like 'Bro, where is your shoe?'" The story left everyone in the panel in splits as Williams made the 2021 Hall of Fame Inductee go all the way back to fetch his shoe because living in an all-white community, Webber was probably the only one with that size of shoe. However, on a serious note, the 2006 NBA champion confessed that it was one of the most fun times he had with his former teammate. He added that "it was a blessing in disguise" because they had to play a lot of games in different locations. It is obviously heartwarming to see such a chemistry between the legendary duo of Sacramento Kings. Jason Williams once had to travel in the undercarriage of the team bus Rookie hazing has been a part of teams in the NBA, where the veterans on the team try to build chemistry with young players in their own ways like alotting chores. Chris Webber once narrated one such incident where the rookie Jason Williams hid in the undercarriage of the team bus to avoid it. Upon reaching the hotel, the team noticed that Williams was missing. After searching for some time, the team looked under the bus and there was the 1998 draftee. When Webber asked him the reason, White Chocolate responded, "I don't wanna ride with y'all bi*ches up here." Even though it is a fun tradition among teammates to get to know each other, it did take a toll on the one-time All-Star. However, it was not long after this, the two developed good team ability to make some amazing plays together.](https://cdn-wp.thesportsrush.com/2023/11/7f3ad985-nba-2023-11-08t231816.707.jpg?format=auto&w=384&q=75)
