Tom Brady Once Irked Draymond Green by Calling the NBA “Too Easy”

The NBA vs NFL debate is a hot topic among sports fans on social media. However, on many occasions, athletes have also stepped in on the debate. But in the end, it comes to an individual’s personal opinion. Often regarded as the GOAT of the NFL, Tom Brady also expressed his thoughts on the NBA. However, Draymond Green was in attendance and didn’t like Brady’s dig at the NBA.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is one of the passionate NBA players of the current times. He has been with the Warriors since being drafted and has won three championships with them. Tom Brady has also been a professional for more than 2 decades and knows what it takes to be an athlete.

However, on one occasion, Brady claimed that NBA is ‘too easy’ and hyped the NFL. Draymond Green got irked and gave a befitting reply to the NFL legend.

Draymond Green, annoyed at Tom Brady’s NBA take, gives a perfect response

NFL legend Tom Brady and Draymond Green once appeared in an interview in 2021. During the interview, Tom Brady claimed that NBA is ‘too easy’ and the players get hurt easily.

“These NBA guys get hurt all the time. And in my mind, I’m thinking ‘It’s so easy!’,” Brady said. “I mean no offense, but you don’t have to run that far! There’s not a lot of contacts. You’ve got nice, comfortable shoes on. It’s a nice climate all the time!”

While Brady added not to take offense, any NBA fan would be offended at the swipe taken by him. Green also had a perfect response for Brady’s shots.

Green responded: “What we see as a basketball player is, as a football player, I don’t have to be in as great of shape because you get a f**king stop after every play.”

The debate between two sports is an endless one. One can never reach a conclusion. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Brady retired as an NFL legend earlier this year. He had his own qualities that led him to dominate the league for over two decades.

NBA, on the other side, has its own demands. Legends such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, among others, didn’t have a long career as Brady. But in the period they played, they left a long-lasting impact.
