Warriors star Draymond Green recently took a jab at former first-round NBA draft pick Andrew Nicholson, singling out the ex-Magic forward as the one player whom he can’t comprehend was drafted ahead of him.
Green, who was selected by Golden State in the second round of the 2012 NBA draft, dissed Nicholson, saying he didn’t even look like a basketball player during an appearance on Paul George’s podcast.
Nicholson, who has been out of the league since 2017, responded to Green’s remarks, suggesting the Warriors forward was acting insecurely.
“I see it as an insecurity on his end.

From the sound of things, Jets training camp may be off to a great start.
I don’t mean great for the team; I mean great for the Hard Knocks camera crew.
Apparently, just three days into camp the team has already had some onfield incidents between players who got caught up in the heat of competitions.
Some might call them “kerfuffles,” others “dust-ups.”
Whatever you want to call them, dammit, if they aren’t going to make compelling television.
On Saturday there were reports of multiple on-field fights.
On Saturday, the Phillies lost their fourth consecutive game in head-scratching fashion.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, and the game scoreless with two outs, Guardians slugger Jose Ramirez sent what seemed like a harmless fly ball to shallow right center field.
Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott went back on the ball, while center fielder Brandon Marsh closed in for the out. Right fielder Nick Castellanos, who closed in late on the play, also had an opportunity to run under the routine pop fly.
Instead, the three players inexplicably allowed the ball to hit the grass.
Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky has a habit of giving some odd takes on Twitter, and the latest stunned a lot of fans.
Orlovsky kept it simple. He quote tweeted an article about dermatologists recommending people only shower 2-3 times per week.
In his tweet, Orlovsky added a pair of shrugging emojis.

Although the article in question did get dinged by the old community notes.
As a player known for his hijinks as much as his game, Mavericks forward Grant Williams has a knack for making people laugh when they least expect it.
Unfortunately for Williams, however, his latest viral moment came courtesy of an awkwardly hilarious moment at his inaugural basketball camp at West Charlotte High School in Charlotte, N.C.
Standing at 6-foot-6 and 236 pounds, Williams, a Houston native who grew up in Charlotte, has presented more than a few players with a challenge in the post.
Pretty good for a game at 9 p.m. ET on a Friday night.
Austin Peay State University freshman defensive back Jeremiah Collins died Friday night in a car crash.
The accident occurred near the school’s campus in Clarksville, Tennessee. Collins, 18, was reportedly driving at an elevated rate of speed before his pickup truck rolled over several times, according to a Metro Nashville Police Department press release.
He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead soon afterwards. According to police, there were no signs of “impairment” at the crash scene.
The Red Sox had an early 2–0 lead against the Mets during Saturday’s game, but it vanished in the blink of an eye. During the fourth inning, their two-run lead turned into a one-run deficit as the result of an outrageously errant throw from catcher Jorge Alfaro.
With runners on second and third, New York second baseman Jeff McNeil laced a single up the middle. Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, who was truly booking it down the line, managed to score off the hit, but as McNeil attempted to take second base, the play turned from bad to worse for Boston.
Nearly three months after being named the 2022–23 NBA MVP, Joel Embiid reached another major milestone on Saturday as the 76ers star married longtime girlfriend Anne de Paula.
Embiid, 29, and de Paula, 28, tied the knot in Southampton, New York following a church ceremony on Saturday afternoon, according to The New York Post. The power couple have been together since 2018, and share a son, two-year-old Arthur Elijah.
Rodney Thomas, the father of Colts second-year safety Rodney Thomas II, has been arrested for allegedly fatally shooting a bald eagle in Pennsylvania, according to a report in the New York Post.
The elder Thomas was indicted by a Pittsburgh federal grand jury for violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania announced Tuesday, per the Post. Thomas allegedly killed the protected species with an air rifle in Mount Pleasant, Pa. back on May 12.
