    Nothing wrong with being outspoken.

    Let the man express himself.

    We knew he had a different type of confidence beforehand.

    He’s been as advertised so far.

    I'm a Houstonian but I dont think its necessary to talk down on where other people live. I like the confidence by Green but dude can chill just a little bit.

    All he said was he didnt want to live there. When he was there he was bored and he felt more comfortable in Houston. You're acting like he actually said the words "Detroit sucks" lol he didnt.

    Even if he did come out and say Detroit is straight garbage.

    Grown adults should have thick skin.

    Trash Talk and Sports go hand in hand.

    Im talking about this thread. The guy literally said he wanted to live in Detroit before the draft which makes him look stupid right now. Its fine to talk, but you dont have to talk about location.

    Yeah I mean you trash talk about the actual game of basketball. that's how it goes hand in hand. When you go outside of that, well that's a bit different. some folks here being all fake and acting like if one of the top picks was saying all of this about Houston, they wouldn't be all butthurt. we literally had people all crying around here bc some players didn't come in for a little workout.

    Agreed.

    I also thoroughly enjoyed the trash talk that Jalen had towards Cade at the end of the Detroit preseason game.

    Let this man allow his huge ass cojones to hang as low as he likes, especially with performances the way he's shown to date.

    Not really lol. Trash talk always strays outside of that. You’d be surprised what players say to each other on the court.

    Did KG tell Melo his wife taste like Honey Nut Cheerios? Lol

    Jordan called his own teammates dog **** on the regular.

    As a grown man he will learn that talking public you want to talk about things you appreciate and not about things you dont like. You just couldve said you love city of Houston so you are glad, basicaly saying the same thing without pissing out innocent people of Detroit who will now hate him to death lol

    And yeah. just because they said it doesn't mean it doesn't fall outside the line. Seems folks don't get that part. When you get personal everything goes out the window. that's when trash talk stops becoming actual trash talk. And no it doesn't always stray outside of that. I wouldn't be surprised at all because I've been around it for a long time and heard plenty of it on the court
