Patrick Beverley has been stirring the pot all month, putting James Harden above Dwyane Wade in the all-time shooting guard conversation. Dwyane Wade clapped back hard. Now, Draymond Green has weighed in, and he has a thing or two to say about the 3-point percentage argument, too.
What Draymond Green Said About the Wade vs. Beverley Beef
Speaking on “The Draymond Green Show,” the four-time NBA champion weighed in on the growing back-and-forth between Wade and Beverley. He made it clear he is not picking sides between two guys from Chicago, but he did have thoughts on the 3-point percentage argument Beverley threw out.
“D-Wade comes back and he’s like, I don’t understand why Patrick Beverley would say anything like that you ain’t good enough to talk about me. I like how D-Wade popped his sh*t, I respect it I’m not getting in the middle of those two brothers,” Green said.
He further continued, “But, I will say Pat Bev coming out and throwing that three point percentage out, was hilarious. Well, Pat Bev, the defense was guarding y’all a lil bit, different brother…. Guarding y’all a little bit differently. The shots that were being created for you to shoot the three was a little bit different than what D-Wade had to do.”

That context matters, though. Beverley shot 37.1% from 3-point range for his career, compared to Wade’s 29.3%, and Beverley has made that very loud and clear.
But those numbers do not exist in a vacuum. The defenses Wade faced were built differently, and the shots he got off pick-and-rolls were rarely the clean catch-and-shoot looks that Beverley lived on.

Green also addressed Beverley’s claimed 7-3 regular-season record against Wade, which Beverley had loudly flagged. His read on how Wade would respond to that?
“It’s like, bro, who’s counting regular season games at the end of my career? Who’s counting regular season anyway? What about these playoffs? What have you done for me? That’s what my response would be.”
Green’s Regular-Season Argument That Everyone Should Hear
But here is where Green made his sharpest point. The head-to-head record got him thinking about how the league treats regular-season games overall.
He argued that fans cannot dismiss Beverley’s claimed 7-3 record as meaningless while also demanding players log 65 games because every regular-season game matters. You cannot use the regular season as a measuring stick only when it suits you.
That logic applies to the bigger debate, too. Beverley has built his Harden case on an MVP, scoring titles, assist titles, All-NBA selections, and career totals.
Wade’s side points to three rings, a 2006 Finals MVP, and elite-level defense Harden never came close to matching. Both arguments lean on the stats and moments that are convenient, which is exactly what Green was calling out.
For what it’s worth, Green has already made his choice public, picking Wade over Harden on his show. But his regular-season logic is hard to argue with, and given how loud both sides have been, Beverley and Wade are not done with each other yet.
