Draymond Green Playfully Roasts Klay Thompson After Warriors’ Win: “You Ain’t Him No More!”
In classic Golden State Warriors fashion, the postgame buzz wasn’t just about the victory—it was about the banter. Following the Warriors’ recent win, Draymond Green delivered a playful yet headline-worthy roast aimed at his longtime teammate and friend, Klay Thompson.
During the postgame press conference, Green—never one to hold back—teased Thompson with a smirk: “Klay used to be that guy, man. Now he’s just out there trying to keep up with us young bucks. You ain’t him no more!” The light-hearted jab instantly went viral, sending NBA Twitter into a frenzy and reminding fans just how entertaining this duo can be on and off the court.
Of course, anyone familiar with the Warriors’ locker room dynamics knows this was all in good fun. Green and Thompson have shared countless battles together, winning four NBA championships and developing a brotherhood forged through years of success, setbacks, and legendary moments.
Klay, known for his calm demeanor and dry wit, didn’t let the moment slide either. When reporters asked about Draymond’s comments, he chuckled and responded, “I might not be him, but I’m still me. Tell Dray I’ll let my jump shot do the talking.”
The friendly fire comes at a time when the Warriors are fighting to climb the Western Conference standings. With younger players stepping into larger roles and veterans like Steph Curry, Green, and Thompson trying to maintain their edge, the balance between old and new has never been more crucial—or more entertaining.
Green’s roast might also reflect some of the internal fire that keeps this dynasty ticking. While Klay has faced challenges in recent seasons due to injuries and shifting team roles, he’s still capable of catching fire and reminding everyone of the “Game 6 Klay” that once terrified opponents.
Meanwhile, Draymond continues to serve as the emotional anchor and defensive mastermind of the team. His leadership, both vocal and strategic, keeps the Warriors’ core aligned—even when the jabs fly.
Fans love these unscripted moments. They’re reminders that behind the stats and highlight reels are personalities, friendships, and stories that span more than a decade. The roast wasn’t just about poking fun—it was a subtle nod to the enduring chemistry that has kept the Warriors relevant long after many wrote them off.
As the playoffs approach and the pressure mounts, expect more moments like this. Draymond will keep talking, Klay will keep shooting, and together, they’ll continue writing one of the NBA’s most entertaining sagas.
One thing’s certain: even if Klay “ain’t him no more” in Draymond’s eyes, he’s still a vital part of the heart and soul of the Golden State Warriors. And in this brotherhood, a little roasting is just another way of saying, “We’ve still got your back.”
