In a heated monologue, NBA player Draymond Green lambasts Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins, calling him "soft" and criticizing his approach to developing big men. Green targets rookie Zach Edey, accusing him of being overly emotional and prone to running to the media over fouls, which Green argues is unbecoming of a "big man." He emphasizes that big players should protect star guards like Ja Morant rather than complain, and warns that other elite big men such as Joel Embiid will test Edey's toughness. Green concludes with a broader plea to stop producing "soft" big men who become "snitches" and rely on media narratives instead of embracing a hard‑nosed, protective role on the court.

You setting him up to where Ja Morant gonna be protecting him. He's big enough to possibly have fooled people that he could be a little tough. And now nobody believe you. Now Joel Embiid gonna like try to put his chest into the stanchion just to see like, "Huh, I think he might be a little soft." Boom! Yeah, they gonna try him now. Everybody gonna try him. Y'all gotta stop breeding these soft dudes, man. Stop making these guys turn out to be snitches and soft and going to tell because you are a big man.
