In a brief YouTube Shorts clip, Draymond Green and a second speaker react to Marcus Hayes' article about Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid. They criticize the piece for unnecessarily mentioning Embiid's son and brother, labeling the comments as "out of pocket" and inappropriate. Green emphasizes that bringing up personal family details is unnecessary and suggests that the article's relevance is minimal. The speakers discuss the principle that public commentary should respect personal boundaries, noting that while they do not condone violence, they believe certain standards must be upheld when discussing individuals, especially regarding sensitive family matters. The exchange ends with an agreement that if one chooses to address such topics, they should be prepared for the same consequences.

Like, there's no need for you to mention his son. There's no need for you to mention his brother. And because of that, no one knows any other part of your article that you wrote. And quite honestly, I don't think anyone gives a shit to even know now.
It was super out of pocket. And you can't, like, take a dig at somebody in the same paragraph that you mentioned, you know, someone that lost a loved one so close to them. I'm not gonna knock Joel for that. I think he understand the consequences that come with that. I'm not, like, condoning violence or pushing for that, but it's like, Certain things, you know, as a man, you still have to stand on some type of principles, and that comment was super out of pocket.
I agree with you. A, if you gonna go there, you might as well just go there because the consequence is the same.
