Draymond Green Called Dak Prescott A Bum Who NEVER Shows Up When All The Marbles Are On The Line
🗣️ CROSS-SPORT CRITICISM: Draymond Green Labels Dak Prescott a “Bum” in Clutch Moments
The Dallas Cowboys’ inconsistent performance has drawn fire from every corner of the sports world, but few comments landed with the same force as those from NBA star and four-time champion Draymond Green. The Golden State Warriors forward used his podcast to deliver a harsh, no-holds-barred assessment of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, specifically targeting his ability to deliver when championships are on the line.
The “Bum” Clarification
Appearing on his Why Is Draymond Green Talking About Football podcast, Green did not mince words following the Cowboys’ recent defeat. He unequivocally stated that the Cowboys “will never win with Dak” and labeled the highly-paid quarterback a “bum.”
When pressed on the harsh terminology by his co-host, Green clarified that his criticism was focused solely on Prescott’s performance in high-stakes situations, not his regular-season talent.
“You have to understand, when I say bum, I’m not saying Dak Prescott isn’t a good NFL quarterback,” Green explained. “Of course he’s a good NFL quarterback. But I’m saying when the money is on the line, when it’s for all the marbles, who are you? He’s a bum. What has he done in those moments? Been a bum.”
Green, who has four NBA titles to his name, emphasized that while Prescott has impressive regular-season statistics and a lucrative contract, his 2-5 playoff record is the ultimate proof of his failure to be “the guy” when it matters most. He suggested that when the Cowboys had their “best teams, best offensive line,” Prescott still failed to deliver a deep playoff run.
The Fallout and Apology
Green’s comments immediately ignited a firestorm across the NFL and NBA media landscape. Former Cowboys defensive lineman and ESPN analyst Marcus Spears quickly fired back, acknowledging Prescott’s playoff struggles but strongly taking issue with the disrespectful term “bum.” Spears pointed out that Green benefited from playing alongside an all-time great like Stephen Curry, arguing that the dynamics of winning in football are far different than in basketball.
In a predictable twist days later, Green issued a partial apology to Prescott, walking back the specific term “bum.” He stated that as a fellow athlete, he knew he would be “pissed off” if someone called him that, adding that he was “man enough to say when I’m wrong.” However, the apology was carefully constructed, as Green immediately reaffirmed his core critique: “My feelings don’t change. I still think when it gets to the moment, I don’t think he can deliver.”
The narrative around Dak Prescott’s career remains dominated by his lack of postseason success, and Draymond Green’s headline-grabbing commentary has only amplified the pressure on the Cowboys quarterback to silence his cross-sport critics.
