Draymond Green names his NBA 'nemesis' — and it's not who you'd expect

Draymond Green cultivates a contentious relationship with the rest of the league, but his actual NBA nemesis is probably not who you'd expect.

It's not a marquee name like LeBron James. It's not crotch-kick recipient Steven Adams. Green's mortal foe? Timberwolves power forward Taj Gibson.

"Man, I cannot figure that dude out," Green says in an interview with teammate Nick Young for the Uninterrupted.

"He kills him," Young adds.

Although their rivalry isn't as action-packed as other beefs Green maintains in the league, it has one inadvertent injury. In 2016, Gibson accidentally hit Green in the head, leaving Green on the floor until team doctors were able to take him to the locker room.
