Among a list of NBA-related rivalries, the steam between Draymond Green and Charles Barkley may be the most intense. It’s been stewing for a while and blows have been thrown from both sides, with Barkley at one point flat-out saying he’d like to punch Green in the face.
But when the Golden State forward recently took a gig starring on the show “The Arena,” a new one-hour NBA show that TNT will launch Monday, many believed the metaphorical “hatchet” was ready to be buried.
Despite being literal co-workers, Draymond showed no indication that we was going to get friendly with Chuck any time soon.
Draymond Green says he’s not squashing any beef with his new co-worker Charles Barkley
“He’s not a friend of mine. He’s not someone whose opinion matters to me. So there is not a need to hash anything out.”

We don’t know what the show will look like yet, only that it will feature Draymond, Barkley, Wade, and former First Take host Cari Champion discussing numerous subjects. And yes, can expect debates.
Needless to say, things will probably get heated on the set — but hopefully, things will remain civil in front of the cameras.
It will be an interesting thing to behold, for sure.
