Trash talk has long been part of NBA culture - a psychological tactic used to unnerve opponents and gain a mental edge. But for
Seth Curry
, one of those moments turned unexpectedly personal and awkward when
Draymond Green
delivered a sharp jab - with Seth's older brother,
Stephen Curry
, standing right next to him.
Free-Throw Line Jab: Draymond Takes Aim at Seth Curry
On a recent episode of the G.O.T.E. podcast, Seth Curry shared a story that perfectly captured the raw honesty of NBA trash talk. During a game between his team and the
Golden State Warriors
, Seth was at the free-throw line when
Draymond Green
began chirping at him.
'I'm at the free throw line, and Draymond's out there. We're talking… I say something, and he's like, 'Why are you talking? You're a journeyman. Every team in the league.' It was funny because Steph was right there.
It was kind of awkward,' Seth recalled.
The remark cut deeper than the usual in-game banter - not because of the content, but because of the context. With Stephen Curry, Draymond's longtime teammate and Seth's brother, just a few feet away, the moment gained a layer of personal discomfort.

From telling Paul Pierce he wouldn't get a Kobe-style farewell to even teasing Steph during a 52-point outburst, Draymond doesn't hold back - even with friends or teammates.
His remarks are part performance, part mind game - always aiming to dominate the mental matchup as much as the physical one. For Draymond, trash talk is a tool of entertainment.
Stephen Curry Caught in the Middle
What made this particular exchange notable wasn't just what Draymond said - it was who was watching.
Stephen Curry
found himself in an unusual position: watching his teammate roast his own brother in the middle of a live game.
Seth acknowledged the tension: 'It was funny 'cause Steph was right there. It was kind of awkward. Draymond's my guy, but he's gonna talk when we're on the floor.'
While Steph didn't respond publicly, his silent presence added to the strangeness of the situation. It was a collision of loyalty, competitiveness, and family pride - all in a single moment at the charity stripe.
Seth Curry's Response: Pride in the 'Journeyman' Label
Rather than bristle at the 'journeyman' tag, Seth Curry embraced it. His career has taken him across multiple franchises, but it's also been marked by persistence and steady performance.
'That's a badge of honor for me. How many guys been on two teams and out the league? I'd rather be on eight, nine teams and have a 12-year career than be one-and-done. So I took pride in it.'
Seth's ability to spin a perceived insult into a mark of pride speaks to his resilience and professionalism.
In a league where consistency is often undervalued, his path is a testament to hard work and adaptability.
