1. Cool story, Glenn

This isn’t only one of his best trash-talking moments, this is one of his best moments in general. This showcases Green’s whole arsenal. There are few men in the league that can match this.

Following the Jones bump, the NBA assessed him a fine. Of course, the Clippers weren’t too happy about it. So they did what they do best: complain.

The Clippers’ head coach, Doc Rivers, is the ringleader. He’s the best at complaining, turning to referees overtime he gets. And when something doesn’t go his way, he flashes that, admittedly, wonderful smile.

Rivers spoke to reporters and told them ““I guess that tough guy in Golden State, the bump was too hard for him, clearly, the way he reacted. My goodness. I thought the guy was tough.” He questioned one of the toughest players’ toughness. That’s not ideal.

Green kept it together though. And it paid off beautifully. When he was asked about Rivers’ comments, he responded “cool story, Glenn.” If he had a mic, he would have dropped it with the force of a thousand Jason Richardson dunks.

He called Rivers out by his given name. I didn’t even know his name was Glenn until Draymond said it. Which really encapsulates the beauty of Draymond Green.

Not only did he just completely dominate someone. He did his homework. He flashed some really good knowledge. He was calm and relaxed and he came out on top.

Cool story, Glenn.
