Draymond Green has attracted a lot of attention for his antics on and off the field recently.

Green is renowned for playing with his heart on his sleeve. Often referred to as the “heart and soul” of the Warriors dynasty, Green is the definition of a winner.

Draymond is also known for engaging in trash talk and playing mind games with opponents. His off-beat methods of how he conducts himself on the court have led to him being a polarizing figure among fans.

The Warriors forward has established himself as a media personality outside of his basketball career. And his actions on his court have become more out for discussion ever since the beginning of the same.

The latest to engage in debate and eventual beef with Green? Former NBA Finals MVP, Cedric Maxwell.

What led to the beef between Maxwell and Green?

It all started when Green’s aggressive conduct and defensive persistence looked excessive and the Celtics started calling him out for bad fouls.

Then, former Celtic and Finals MVP with the Celtics, Cedric Maxwell chipped in. Maxwell took to Twitter to tell the world that what Green was pulling would not have flied in his era.

Green, not one to shy away from beef, retorted by saying how players in the 80s and 90s weren’t as skilled as the ones there are now.

And today, there has been a response by the former NBA star.

And as far as the stars make for entertainment, Twitter takes it away.

How has Twitter reacted to the latest beef in town?

Warriors fans immediately took to the stage to defend their star man.

Warriors faithful also took to criticize Boston’s fandom and culture in retort to Maxwell.

Anyway, the winner seems to be the fans who’ve now got one more intriguing narrative to add to the tale.
