In this reaction video, Draymond Green critiques Patrick Beverley's claim that James Harden is a better all‑time two‑guard than Dwyane Wade. Green argues that Harden is fundamentally a point guard, citing his career average of 10–11 assists per game, and contends that no shooting guard matches those numbers. He dismisses the notion of labeling Harden a shooting guard, points out differences in defensive schemes and three‑point shooting contexts between Harden and Wade, and references a 7‑3 regular‑season head‑to‑head record in Harden’s favor. Green also anticipates Wade’s likely rebuttal about playoff performance and overall impact, concluding that Beverley's take is entertaining but flawed.

Patrick Beverley saying James Harden is a better all-time player than Dwyane Wade. I struggle sometimes when people say James Harden is the best two-guard because James Harden is a point guard, one of the best point guards we've seen. And so when people start making debate of James Harden as a shooting guard, I actually disagree with everybody on it. Year after year, 10 assists, 11 assists. Go find me a shooting guard who puts up those type of numbers. So when people start making the argument about James Harden being a better two-guard than Dwyane Wade, I disagree. 'Cause then D-Wade come back and he like, yo, I don't understand I don't understand why Patrick Beverley would say anything like that. You ain't good enough to talk about me. I like how D-Wade popped his shit, but I will say, fat bad. Coming out and throwing that 3-point percentage out was hilarious. The defense was guarding y'all too a little bit differently, brother. The shots that were being created for you to shoot the 3, a little bit different than what D-Wade had to do. Also said, by the way, D-Wade, I was 7-3 versus you. And I know what D-Wade response would be is like, bro, who's counting regular season games at the end of my career? Who's counting regular season anyway? What about these playoffs? What have you done for me? That's what my response would be. That's what I would be thinking. But Pat Bell's hilarious, man. D-Wade was crazy.
