Controversies In 2025 he reported that center Mark Williams had back issues that "stunted his growth" and kept him out of the weight room. He later apologized and retracted those comments as inaccurate.

In 2023 he called out coach Gregg Popovich for his condescending interviews with the media. He said the San Antonio Spurs organization needs to embrace the media rather than view it as an enemy. In 2015 he had a notably "excruciating" interview with Popovich in which the coach trolled Greenberg, "[shutting] him down in a gloriously awkward exchange."
