The NBA All-Star Game is always a chance for players, commentators, and fans to have a bit more fun and cut loose before the final stretch of the season.
On Sunday night, Charles Barkley and Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green couldn’t help but give each other a hard time during the national broadcast of the game.
After calling Green a talented player, Barkley jokingly wished him “good luck in the play-in.”
The rest of the on-air broadcasters laughed at this dig, but Green had one of his own.
“Here, Chuck. Take my ring,” Green shot back, according to a video shared by ClutchPoints.

Barkley was taking a jab at Green and his troubled Warriors, who are the tenth team in the West with a 27-26 record.
But Green was able to hit Barkley and remind him that he never won a championship during his 16 years in the NBA.
Both men seemed to have a good time poking fun at one another and no feelings were seriously hurt.
However, was Barkley’s point legitimate and will the Warriors only reach the Play-In Tournament this year?
Since they are currently the tenth seed, they would qualify for the Play-In if it started today.
Yet, it’s important to note that the team has been looking a lot better lately and has gone 8-2 in their last ten games.
So, is there a chance that they will actually surpass the Play-In and reach the playoffs instead?
If they do, it’ll be a massive turnaround for the historic franchise that got off to an awful start this season.
If the Warriors make the playoffs this year, fans can be sure that Green will definitely have quite a few comments for Barkley.
