Green responded to Martin's list on the Draymond Green Show.
"I didn't actually hear all the names. I just read some of them because I don't really watch what people say. I found it interesting that a lot of people say he didn't put himself on the list," Green said. "You know, some of those names that I read were just interesting. It made it come off a bit emotional. Nonetheless, shout out to all 50 of those guys for having a hell of an NBA career and doing what they did, putting their name in the bucket.
"I respect all of them; it's all love, good for them. I can make people important and that's a good skill. And that's a high honor, that I'll wear that hat with a lot of pride," Green concluded.
Draymond Green doesn't bash anyone on the list, or Kenyon Martin , just says some of the names were interesting and that the list came off emotional by Kenyon Martin. Some of the more borderline names that were mentioned by Kenyon Martin included Reggie Evans , Bo Outlaw, Popeye Jones, Tim Thomas , Nene Hilario , Al Harington, Otis Thorpe, David Lee , and Drew Gooden.

Then, Martin dropped his list of power forwards he says are having or have had better NBA careers than Green.
It'll be interesting to see if things Martin will take things a step further in a potential response.
