After Tuesday night’s Warriors-Pelicans game, Charles Barkley’s ‘I want to punch Draymond Green in the face’ comments didn’t sit well with the Golden State star.

It didn’t take long for Draymond Green to respond to Charles Barkley’s questionable comments from the TNT halftime show on Tuesday night.

In case you haven’t heard about it, Barkley didn’t hold back when a replay of Green’s altercation with Rajon Rondo was shown, admitting that he wished someone would punch him in the face. Chuck then went one step further and said that he wanted to punch Draymond in the face. Not something you usually hear from a TV personality — although he is a former player.

As you can imagine, reporters were chomping at the bit to ask Draymond what his thoughts on the quote were. In typical Draymond uncensored fashion, he didn’t hold back in his response.

No, Draymond isn’t afraid of what people have to say about him and he definitely doesn’t seem to be afraid of Barkley.

The two have been in each other’s presence “millions of times” per Draymond and Charles has never done anything about his apparent desire to punch the Warriors’ star in the face.

It looks like this playground feud is just getting started and I’m sure we can expect a response from Chuck any day now.
