Watch: Draymond responds to Magic's 'Showtime Lakers' sweep comments

Judging by Draymond Green's response, it doesn't appear that he's taking Magic Johnson's recent proclamation too seriously.

Johnson, the Lakers' President of Basketball Operations, made news earlier Tuesday by suggesting that his classic 1980s Showtime Lakers teams would sweep the current Golden State Warriors squad in a best-of-seven matchup.

Perhaps Green is right to laugh off the suggestion. The Dubs continue to inch closer to something Magic's Lakers never accomplished: an unbeaten playoff record en route to an NBA title.

Green added that making any cross-era comparison is ultimately futile since the NBA has changed so much since Magic's time.

"First off, the game is completely different than it was back then. Nowadays, if you can't shoot a three, you're a liability on the floor. That wasn't the case back then," Green said.

"So I never understand when people try to compare eras and say, oh, this team could have beat this team or they couldn't have beat that team or this player is better than that player. It doesn't make sense to me because you're kind of talking two different games, for real. So I never really understand that, nor do I get off into it.

"They were great in their time, we're great in our time and respect that."
