Yahoo NBA reporter Kevin O'Connor said Wednesday on Threads that Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler are the problem in Golden State. Reacting to Tuesday night quotes from Green that many believe were directed at Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga, O'Connor took to Threads with his take: "Who cares if Podz says he hopes to be better than Steph Curry? It's ridiculous that Warriors veterans are side-eyeing him—or Jonathan Kuminga or any other young teammates."The old guys are the problem in Golden State. Not the youth.

Victor Wembanyama made a slew of impressionable plays against the Chicago Bulls.Beyond his five blocks — a few of which he reached beyond the white rectangle painted on the glass to swat — the Frenchman called game on a deep 3-pointer from the top of the key with under 30 seconds to play. Even for a 6-foot-11 giant like Nikola Vučević, Wembanyama's antics were slightly incomprehensible.“The best players in the league, they’re going to do what they do,” the Bulls' center said. “When they get it going, there’s nothing you can do.”READ MORE: Wembanyama's Early Struggles Were Spurs' 'Wake-Up Call'Vučević isn't the only player to use such verbiage when describing the apex of Wembanyama's abilities.
