Warriors' Draymond Green clears the air amid public feud with NBA great Charles Barkley

Dakich breaks down the fallout from the Warriors' playoff loss to the Suns and discusses whether Steve Kerr is officially ready to walk away from his legendary coaching career.

Earlier this week, Draymond Green made headlines by criticizing the twilight of Charles Barkley’s Hall of Fame career.

Appearing in studio during Wednesday's edition of "Inside the NBA," Green pointed to Barkley’s four-year stint with the Houston Rockets.

"I think the goal is just to not look like you in the Houston Rockets uniform," a follow-up to Barkley’s suggestion that the Golden State Warriors — Green’s team — are well past their championship window. Days later, as controversy mounted, Green clarified his remarks about Barkley.

"The reason that I would even say that is what Chuck makes fun about in his career is actually the last 2 years in Houston," Green said during the latest edition of "The Draymond Green Show."

Green added: "Everybody tried to make it like this whole ‘Ahh man Draymond think he better than Chuck’… the disrespect ain’t the intent so if that’s the way it’s viewed as public disrespect, I can gladly public apologize, disrespect wasn’t my intent."

Barkley suggested Green would have to leave the only franchise he’s ever played for to have a chance at a fifth championship, given the age of Golden State’s core.

"It’s over for the Warriors," Barkley said on May 6. "No disrespect. It is for every old team. You have your run, you get old … it just passed you by. Y’all had one of the greatest runs ever."
