Both fanbases have reasons to feel like they own the rivalry right now, with <a href=\"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/michigan-state-basketball-takeaways-at-michigan\/\">MSU sweeping Michigan in basketball<\/a> and Michigan football winning the national championship. But you know the rivalry banter is at an all-time high when former players are getting involved. First we saw <a href=\"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/hunter-dickinson-calls-out-jordan-hall-for-trolling-michigan\/\">Hunter Dickinson and Jordan Hall go at it online<\/a>. Now Draymond Green is getting involved after taking a shot at Michigan\u2019s national title on live TV.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan fans aren&#8217;t going to like this.<\/p>\n<h3>Draymond questions legitimacy of Michigan\u2019s national title<\/h3>\n<p>This past weekend featured the NBA All-Star Game. Draymond was not a participant in the All-Star game, but he was commentating the game on the broadcast. All-Star Weekend is always a laid-back environment, where players and analysts spend lots of time joking around with each other. And Draymond took advantage of this opportunity by trolling the school he hates the most.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Draymond Green, who went to Michigan State, on Michigan&#39;s national championship: <\/p>\n<p>&quot;They gotta give that trophy back. That&#39;s why (Jim) Harbaugh got outtta there.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mike Curtis (@MikeACurtis2) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeACurtis2\/status\/1759415384229245306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This obviously upset a lot of Michigan fans, with many claiming Green has no authority to speak on this. But I beg to differ. First of all, Draymond plays his sport at the highest level possible. I think anyone who plays their sport at the level Draymond does has the right to comment on the cheating allegations surrounding Michigan\u2019s football program.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Draymond owned Michigan during his collegiate career. He finished with a winning record against Michigan, so he has the right to talk about the Wolverines as much as he wants.<\/p>\n<p>The best part of this comment from Green is the last part about Jim Harbaugh. It\u2019s no secret that Harbaugh has flirted with the NFL for a while now. So why did he conveniently decide to leave Michigan the second all of these allegations came to light? That\u2019s no coincidence, if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p>All jokes aside, I think this banter is good for the rivalry. It\u2019s a good thing when former players still care about their schools, and I think we all know Draymond Green still bleeds green and white.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Draymond being Draymond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":14596,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[178],"tags":[215,190,189,504],"class_list":["post-14522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pro-spartans","tag-draymond-green","tag-michigan-state-basketball","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
