Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green didn’t hold back during a recent podcast appearance, labeling Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott a “bum” in a blunt critique of the NFL star’s performance under pressure.
The comment came Monday on “The Schultz Report,” hosted by NFL insider Jordan Schultz, where Green joined to discuss football amid the Warriors’ early-season struggles. In the clip, which has since gone viral, Green leaned into the microphone and said, “Dak’s a bum,” while defending Prescott’s overall talent but slamming his record in high-stakes moments. “When the money’s on the line, he’s been a bum,” Green added, drawing a sharp laugh from Schultz.
The four-time NBA champion, known for his unfiltered takes, touched a nerve in a city where Cowboys fandom runs deep and Warriors loyalty is fierce.
Schultz, a Cowboys supporter, pushed back immediately on air, tweeting the clip with the caption: “Insane: Draymond Green says ‘Dak Prescott’s a bum.‘ All due respect, but I couldn’t disagree anymore!” The post amassed over 60,000 views within hours.

X, formerly Twitter, erupted with a mix of agreement, mockery and irony. Some users echoed Green’s sentiment, pointing to Prescott’s 2-5 playoff record as quarterback of the high-scoring Cowboys. “One thing about Draymond he don’t lie Dak is a bum and it shows every playoff,” wrote one fan, capturing the frustration from those tired of Dallas’ postseason woes. Another added, “Dak is an actual bum 🤣 put him in a game where he’s needed and watch him crumble like a piece of rock candy thrown at a wall,” referencing the Cardinals defeat.
Cowboys defenders, however, flipped the script on Green, highlighting his own controversial career marked by suspensions and the Warriors’ reliance on teammate Stephen Curry. “Draymond the real bum if anything, Steph made this guys career!” posted one commenter, a nod to Green’s role as a defensive anchor in four NBA titles but his outsized personality. The irony wasn’t lost on others: “Draymond is calling Dak a bum? How ironic, has he looked in a mirror lately?” And with the Warriors nursing a 6-2 record after a recent road loss, one user quipped, “Warriors just lost to Ryan Rollins and Queton Jackson on their road trip and Draymond spending his free time calling someone a bum.”
Even neutral observers found humor in the cross-sport shade. “I meannn, draymond ain’t wrong but because it’s him people aren’t gonna take it seriously 😂,” one wrote, while a self-proclaimed non-Cowboys fan noted, “Wow. He said it out loud. Any Cowboys fan should be pissed, but as for me, I laugh 😭.”
Green and Prescott share a loose connection through past podcast banter — the two appeared together on “The Pivot” earlier this year in a lighthearted chat about mental health and fatherhood. One user recalled the camaraderie: “Weren’t they just all lovey on a podcast. I agree with draymond but its seems like a bit more spicy response than it needed to be.”
The exchange underscores Green’s growing media footprint beyond basketball, where his podcast “The Draymond Green Show” has drawn guests from both leagues. But it also highlights the thin line he walks: As a suspended player just two seasons ago for striking opponents, his hot takes often draw as much heat as they do headlines.
Social media’s rapid fire shows no signs of slowing, with the clip shared over 1,000 times and climbing. In a league where quarterbacks are kings and defenders like Green are enforcers, one thing’s clear: Trash talk knows no borders.
