The Dirtiest Beefs in NBA History

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
From players trying to kill each other to teammates marrying each other's wives. Today, we're going to talk about the dirtiest beefs in NBA history, starting with the French Rejection, who got hunted by a madman. In 2019, Rudy Gobert was inches away from being selected for the All-Star Game. So just like any of us, Dreymon Green mocked the living shit out of Gobert.

**Draymond Green** (0:20)
If I didn't make it this year, I wasn't going to cry. I can 100% assure you that it has to be Rudy. I mean, the man cried on national television when he did make the All-Star team. Thank God he's made the next three.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:31)
Stop it, Drey, leave that man alone.

**Draymond Green** (0:33)
I mean, you can't cry, Chuck. I said it then, I'm gonna say it now. I got killed on Twitter then. I'll probably get killed today. But you can't cry.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:40)
But that was just round one, because Dreymon kept to be fond, going as far as to calling him a literal trash can.

**Draymond Green** (0:46)
Teams are always looking for a rim protector. You get paid, I mean, there's someone in the NBA getting paid as a rim protector. Probably more money than you, Pete, which is a lot of money.

**Patrick Beverley** (0:58)
Another E for France, too?

**SPEAKER_5** (0:59)
Yeah, he is from France.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:01)
He would later move on from bullying to getting physical, because in 2024, Rudy tried breaking up a fight between Clay Thompson and Jaden McDaniel, which for Dreymon meant he was open to getting choked out.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:12)
Dreymon has got Gobert in a chokehold.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:16)
This is ridiculous.

**Gilbert Arenas** (1:17)
Dreymon Green should be done.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:20)
But in 2025, Dreymon would finally get what he wanted, a one-on-one in the clutch where he was smoker.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:34)
He's doing the night-night all the way down the floor.

**SPEAKER_10** (1:36)
The heart of a champion.

**SPEAKER_11** (1:38)
Dreymon can catch it all.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:40)
Dreymon got the happiest ending, unlike this next much more dirty feud, which shows what happens when you lock up grown-ass men in a bubble. See, in 2020, after COVID hit, the NBA thought it was a good idea to lock up 800 people to fight for the NBA championship. In a wild matchup between Big Booty Lowry and Aaron Gordon, things would get crazy. See, after a hard foul from Lowry on Aaron Gordon, Kyle started offering his room number to settle the smoke.

**Kevin Love** (2:03)
836 is my room number.

**Isaiah Thomas** (2:05)
836 is my room number.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:07)
He might have been out of his weight class, but Lowry was ready to scrap. So Kyle Lowry doubled down, because when they met the next season, Kyle made the dumbest decision ever.

**SPEAKER_11** (2:16)
Uchevich backing in draws a double team quickly.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:19)
Clark is the open man.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:21)
Aaron Gordon's response will put Kyle Lowry in his place.

**SPEAKER_14** (2:24)
And Lowry is down in a foul on Gordon.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:28)
And in case it wasn't obvious, never f**k with Aaron Gordon. But there's one beef that's been brewing for a long time and is far from being over. So I'm guessing you're not following high school basketball. So let me drop you a quick recap. See, Jalen Green and K. Cunningham competed for the number one spot. Imagine LeBron vs. Michael type hype just for one season in high school. And any chance he got back then, Cade was talking spicy.

**SPEAKER_15** (2:50)
We got the tough guy, Cade.

**Cade Cunningham** (2:52)
I really am big, bro. So especially Jalen Green.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:55)
It would only make sense that they were both salivating for that number one pick in the 2021 draft. But all Jalen could do was sit there with rage in his eyes while his nemesis was picked first. Jalen now has something to prove for the rest of his career. So when they matched up in their rookie year, he made it personal.

**SPEAKER_10** (3:14)
Oh, and I don't know if he was talking to the crowd or to Cade Cunningham, but a technical foul was called. He turned and started yelling in the direction of Cunningham.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:24)
Green was flexing, but things were just getting started, because in the 2025 season, this rivalry would be on full blast for the whole world.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:32)
Now by Jeeley Green.
He did it! Oh, no, he did it!

**SPEAKER_5** (3:37)
Oh, no, he did not!

**SPEAKER_6** (3:39)
No, he didn't! No, he didn't!

**SPEAKER_17** (3:43)
No, that did not just happen.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:44)
Dude didn't even care about the tech. He needed Cade to feel that. And when the rivalry put the league on notice, Cade had a message.
