Draymond Green and Charles Barkley have been understandably compared to one another throughout Green's career.

Both are undersized forwards who talk trash and get under opponents' skins while still doing everything at a high level on the court.

However, Green doesn't like the comparisons to The Round Mound of Rebound, and isn't shy about voicing his disproval about it.

According to ESPN.com, the Golden State Warriors star quickly shut down any talk of him being similar to Barkley after the Warriors' practice session on Sunday:

"Hell no," he responded when asked about the comparisons. "I'm the modern-day Draymond Green. F--- no."

Though there are certainly worse things than being compared to a guy who is in the Basketball Hall of Fame, Green clearly values his individuality.

Citing a quote from Chuck in which he said during his playing career that he wasn't a role model, Green said he took that message to heart growing up in Michigan and that his trash-talking skills developed on their own:

"[Barkley] told y'all in '90-what that he wasn't your kid's role model anyway. ... So there you have it," Green noted. "He wasn't my role model. I grew up in Saginaw, Michigan. ... That's what you do, you talk, you talk junk during basketball. That's how I was raised. I was raised in a family like that, so I didn't need a Charles Barkley to influence me."

Barkley-like or not, Green is an important piece of the Warriors' puzzle this season as they continue their quest for a second title in three seasons.

Green's ability to defend any position on the court gives coach Steve Kerr a lot of flexibility when it comes to putting a lineup on the floor at any given moment.

As the Warriors prepare for their Western Conference semifinal series against the young Utah Jazz, Green will likely have his hands full guarding everyone from massive center Rudy Gobert to star forward Gordon Hayward to speedy point guard George Hill.

If he can limit those players' production when he's matched up against them, the Warriors should continue to cruise through the postseason.

With his strong opinions and willingness to say whatever's on his mind, Green may indeed earn a comparison to Barkley that he may approve of.

Chuck is currently one of the most popular NBA analysts on television and, when Green decides to hang up his sneakers one day in the distant future, he could have a career on a television set, too.
