Draymond Green got to deliver his message to Charles Barkley face-to-face Friday night just before the Golden State Warriors took a 2-0 series lead over the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference finals. 

Green, who just a day earlier teased Barkley about his Hall of Fame career that's void of a championship ring, got the chance to personally exchange jabs during warm-ups.

"Dray, why are you shooting the ball in warm-ups and you never shoot it in the game?" Barkley teased. 

"I shoot when I have to Chuck," Green replied. "I shoot when I have to when I need to win championships."
