Warriors’ Draymond Green Trolls Chris Paul Over Rift With Referee Scott Foster
The Golden State forward just couldn’t contain himself from bringing up his teammate’s nemesis.
The latest guest on The Draymond Green Show was none other than the Golden State Warriors forward’s rival-turned-teammate Chris Paul. Green, in perfect fashion, made sure to ask Paul about one specific hot-button topic before ending Thursday’s podcast: longtime nemesis referee Scott Foster.
And he did so by trolling his teammate.
Green began speaking about one of his “favorite officials,” Scott Foster, with whom Paul has had a well-publicized long-running feud. Paul wasn’t having any of it, as he immediately interjected with a sarcastic, “Knock it off.”
The two then discussed how much they can say on the court to referees before getting hit with a technical foul.
Green said players can “say a few things to Scott, and he’s gonna cut it off” while citing that he knows where the line is before getting a technical. Paul then sarcastically asked if Foster actually lets him say a few things, to which Green laughed and admitted, “Hell no.”
Check out the humorous conversation in the clip below:

The clip provides great back-and-forth banter between the two, and ultimately, Paul said he can’t talk about Foster currently, “but in due time we’ll have that conversation.”
Paul and Foster have clashed numerous times over the years, and Paul’s teams have a 3-17 record in playoff games officiated by Foster.
