RK After being called a “bum” by the NBA’s No.1 star, Dak Prescott has finally fired back — and it’s not what anyone expected.
Called a “Bum,” Dak Prescott Fires Back After Public Apology From NBA’s No.1 Star
ARLINGTON, Texas — The sports world is buzzing after two of America’s biggest stars — Draymond Green
of the Golden State Warriors and Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys — found themselves in the middle of an unexpected cross-league drama. Prescott has flatly rejected Green’s public apology after the NBA star once labeled him a “bum.”
🔹 Draymond Green Apologizes — But Doesn’t Back Down
In a recent episode of his podcast “Why Is Draymond Green Talking About Football,”
the outspoken Warriors forward admitted he went too far when he called Dak Prescott a “bum.”
“I’ve met Dak. I know he’s a good football player. I want to apologize for calling him that. If someone called me a bum, I’d be pissed too. I was wrong to use that word,” Green said.
Still, Green stood by his overall criticism of the Cowboys’ quarterback:
“I still think when the moment gets big, he can’t deliver. But he’s not a bum.”
The half-hearted apology immediately sparked debate among fans and analysts — and Prescott’s blunt response only added fuel to the fire.
🔹 Dak Prescott: “He Doesn’t Know a Damn Thing About the NFL”
When asked about Green’s public apology, Prescott didn’t hesitate to shoot back.
“An apology? Man, I don’t even know who he is in the world of football,” Prescott said with a smirk.
The Cowboys’ quarterback went on, calm but cutting:
“I respect every professional athlete. But when someone from another sport gets on a podcast and talks about something they don’t understand… I don’t care.
He doesn’t know a damn thing about the NFL, about what it takes to lead 53 men every Sunday under pressure. So no — I don’t need that apology.”
The quote spread quickly across social media, with fans praising Prescott for
“the perfect clapback” to what many saw as a condescending and insincere apology.
🔹 Two Worlds, Two Egos
Draymond Green has long been known for his fiery personality and willingness to say exactly what’s on his mind — often without a filter. Dak Prescott, on the other hand, is known for his composure and discipline, rarely engaging in off-field drama.
That’s why this moment hit differently. It wasn’t just a rebuttal — it was a quiet statement of dominance from the Cowboys’ leader.
Sports analyst Jordan Schultz summed it up:
“This isn’t just a clash between two athletes — it’s a collision between two worlds. One thrives on noise, the other on composure.”
🔹 Cowboys Weathering the Storm
Amid all the media noise, the Cowboys are still fighting to stay afloat after a
27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, dropping to 3-5-1. The team recently made a major trade, acquiring Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets in hopes of stabilizing their defense.
Prescott, however, isn’t letting the outside chatter distract him:
“I don’t play football to please Draymond Green — or anyone on social media.
I play for this team, and I play to win.”
