Tony Durant steps in after Dennis Rodman vs Draymond Green talk online
The comment was posted by Tony Durant on X on Friday, July 19, after a viral video reignited comparisons between Dennis Rodman and Draymond Green. The clip featured Draymond Green himself defending his legacy. In the video, Green says he believes he's one of the best defenders in the NBA and deserves more respect.
The video was shared by ClutchPoints and widely discussed.
Soon after, the internet got divided. Some NBA fans stood by Rodman, calling him a 'rebound king' who played key roles in the 1990s Chicago Bulls championships. Others supported Draymond Green, saying he played a major part in all four of the Golden State Warriors' NBA titles since 2015.
Tony Durant stepped into the discussion and didn't hold back. In his tweet, he said,
'Dennis Rodman not better than no f***ing Draymond Green.'
This bold claim caused a wave of reactions. Many fans, analysts, and former players chimed in. While some agreed, others strongly disagreed. A few mentioned how Rodman had two Defensive Player of the Year awards and led the league in rebounds for seven straight seasons.
Green has always been outspoken about his value to the Warriors. On his The Draymond Green Show, he has often shared how much he studies the game and understands its flow.

Chris Paul Returns To Los Angeles Clippers For What's Expected To Be His 21st And Final NBA Season
Chris Paul is rejoining the Los Angeles Clippers for what's expected to be the point guard's 21st and final NBA season. The team confirmed Monday afternoon that Paul had signed. The 12-time All-Star was a free agent after playing all 82 games for the San Antonio Spurs last season, becoming the first NBA player to do so in his 20th season or later. He averaged 8.8 points and 7.4 assists while shooting 43% from the floor. Paul had stated that he wanted to play the upcoming season close to his family, which lives in Los Angeles. He joins a veteran roster that includes new additions guard Bradley Beal, forward John Collins and center Brook Lopez, as well as Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and Bogdan Bogdanovic. Paul played six seasons for the Clippers during their 'Lob City' era with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. He made five All-Star teams from 2012 to 2017 and his 4,023 assists are still the most in franchise history. Paul left the Clippers for the Houston Rockets in 2017 because he felt it was time for a change and he wanted to compete for a championship with Harden. Paul spent two seasons in Houston before going to Oklahoma City for one season. He then spent three years with Phoenix and one with Golden State before joining the Spurs last season, who finished 13th in the Western Conference at 34-48. The Clippers finished fifth at 50-32 and lost to Denver in seven games in the first round. Lawrence Frank, Clippers president of basketball operations, said Saturday that the team was 'strongly considering" signing Paul to join a crowded guard rotation of Harden, Beal, Bogdanovic and Kris Dunn. Paul is expected to come off the bench. 'When you look at it, you have 10 quality rotation players right now. We typically play nine. What we've seen is the problem of potentially having too many guys and how that can impact the team," Frank said. "So we've learned from those lessons and I think the conversations that we have with anyone who is going to join the Clippers next — they understand it's a reserve role. They understand going into camp exactly what it looks like. So there is no preconceived misconceptions.' The Clippers want to preserve Harden, who played nearly 2,800 minutes last season at age 35 in his 16th NBA season. They also view Paul as insurance against injuries that typically impact a roster during an 82-game season, plus the playoffs. 'Role awareness, especially in this next roster spot, will be critical,' Frank said.

Venus Williams Returns With Doubles Win At Washington DC Open
Seven-time Grand Slam single champion Venus Williams returned to competitive tennis after a 16-month hiatus on Monday with a doubles victory at the WTA and ATP DC Open. The 45-year-old American joined compatriot Hailey Baptiste to defeat Canada's Eugenie Bouchard and US teen Clervie Ngounoue 6-3, 6-1 in a first-round match. "After the match Hailey asked me, 'How did that feel?' It's probably even harder to play the doubles first because I'm not a doubles player," Williams said. "So it's great to have her to kind of hold the team up. She has had the experience. She served first because she has been playing all year and playing well. I think that helped me a lot. "I think also just to get the feel for the ball. Obviously singles I have a little more experience even though doubles I have had some great results. "It's just nice to be able to play. Where I am at this year is so much different where I was at last year. It's night and day, being able to be here and prepare for the tournament as opposed to preparing for surgery a year ago." Williams makes her return to singles on Tuesday in the main court night feature match against American Peyton Stearns. A crowd of about 3,000 spectators watched the doubles match, including NBA star Kevin Durant, who is from Washington. "We were both so focused and after the match, I was, like, 'Did you see Kevin Durant walk in?' She was, like, 'Yeah,'" Williams said. Fans chanting "K-D" made it tough for Baptiste to focus but she was happy to have a famous fan in the stands. "It's sick that he came out to support us," she said. "It's really cool." "I was, like, 'I want to show KD what I can do. Hit the ball to me,'" Williams said. "They hit every ball to you. I was, like, OK, whatever. However we win is fine." For Williams, who battled health issues during much of her layoff, just being back on the court was a victory. "I just want to be healthy. You can play all the matches in the world, can you do all the things in the world, but when your health is gone or when your opportunities are being taken away, it just puts a whole new perspective," Williams said. "I wasn't even thinking about tennis at that point. Just wanted to have a successful surgery that I lived through. "Tennis is a game, it's our life, literally our obsession, it's actually a cult, I think. But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter if your health is not there. "Definitely put it in perspective for me and maybe made it easier to make the decision to maybe come back out here and maybe play even freer." 'She's such a legend' Williams said she enjoys sharing her emotions with spectators after a triumph. "It's so much work," she said. "I've been training for months to get to this moment, and then you train to be prepared to win in this moment, but it's not a guarantee. You don't win until that final point is over. "It's important to share those emotions with the crowd." Bouchard will retire next week in Canada and was pleased for one last meeting with Williams. "To play against her one last time is fun and special," Bouchard said. "I was like kudos to you to keep kicking it. She's 14 years older than me and still plugging away. I have nothing but respect for her. She's such a legend.
