The growing tension between Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks isn't slowing down.
Brooks recently criticized Green for hosting a podcast, stating that players who host shows lose their edge. Green, who appeared on The Draymond Green Show on Monday, said he isn't bothered by Brooks' comments.
"I don't really feel the need to get in back and forth," Green said. "If I was Dillon Brooks, I wouldn't have too much love for this podcast, either."

Green is one of several prominent NBA players who have entered the podcast world in recent years. LeBron James, Paul George, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are just a few examples of notable players with their own shows.
Brooks didn't hold back, stating players "talk too much" on podcasts. But Green isn't worried about his opinion.
"He said we talk too much on our podcasts, but he's been kind of going on other people's streams and just talking too much," Green said.
Green later said he found Brooks' remarks "cute," claiming that he helped player-hosted shows become mainstream after his success with the Warriors.
"What made these guys really comfortable with having these podcasts was because I was an All-Star and an NBA Champion in the same year," he said. "We heard that noise before."
Brooks and Green have a tenuous history between each other dating back to the 2022 playoffs. Green called Brooks a coward after he left the court without shaking hands with Warriors players last December. It seems likely this won't be the last incident between the two.
