Draymond Green had some harsh words for one player selected ahead of him in the 2012 NBA Draft.
In an appearance in Podcast P with Paul George, the anchor of the Dubs dynasty was asked who was the most ridiculous player drafted ahead of him.
Green said that it was Andrew Nicholson, who the Orlando Magic selected with the 19th overall pick. The Warriors forward claimed that his school, St. Bonaventure, could not even be pronounced properly.
Green then took shots at Nicholson's physical appearance.
"He doesn't even look like a basketball player. I always tell people when it comes to winning, half the battle is looking like a basketball player. When you're on a team, and you look at the other side of the floor, and you see guys that don't look like basketball players, you automatically lose respect for those guys," the 33-year-old said.
Green ended his rant by saying that even if he doesn't have the body of Adonis, he does not see the basketball physique of Nicholson, and being selected 16 spots after him in the draft pissed off the four-time champion.

Where is Andrew Nicholson Now?
Nicholson played for four seasons with the Orlando Magic. He signed with the Washington Wizards in 2016 before being traded to the Brooklyn Nets in February 2017. That would be his last stint in the NBA. He is still cashing in NBA paychecks today.
Andrew Nicholson has been out of the NBA since 2017. Still, the Blazers must pay him $2.84 million per year through the 2023-24 season. He'll still be cashing NBA paychecks seven years after his last game!@ethman43 looks at the dead money around the NBA: https://t.co/gfv13N07ZO
