A verbal dispute between an athlete and a member of the media is nothing new to anyone. Green, who's known for not backing down when being challenged, has recently gone back and forth with Bayless. After winning his fourth NBA championship, Green was invited to JJ Redick's podcast, "The Old Man & The Three." There, Green didn't hesitate to tell the public what he really thinks of Bayless.

Bayless, known to criticize athletes based on their performances, usually makes it to the point that he calls out those athletes. He recently labeled LA Lakers guard Russell Westbrook as "Westbrick" for shooting poorly. It even reached a point where the superstar's wife, Nina Westbrook, had to get involved to defend her husband.

But Green took his fight in a different way. Green is one of the pioneers of the athlete-driven media known as the "New Media." Green used his podcast, "The Draymond Green Show," to respond to Bayless and his judgment of current NBA players.

No one knows what Green and Bayless have in store against each other. No one knows when their beef will end.

But Green has allowed people to see what he considers is the nonsense Bayless has said while criticizing today's athletes. Green has also shown everyone that he won't back down from any challenge.

Fow now, both Green and Bayless are continuing to take shots at each other until one of them surrenders.
