Green asserts there is no genuine "beef" between them, arguing that Edey has not contributed enough in the NBA to warrant such tension. He critiques the media portrayal that paints Green as a bully, suggesting that this narrative forces Edey to overreact and act aggressively in an attempt to avoid being bullied.
