Draymond Green Opens up on Kevin Durant after Durant moves to the Nets

When Kevin Durant left one of the most coveted teams in one of the most watched Basketball leagues around the world, many speculations came up. Many pointed towards the spat on the bench between Draymond Green and Kevin Durant during a match against Los Angeles Clippers last year. The reason is still unknown though.

Most recently Green opened up about Durant in an interview with ESPN. The duo won two championships together and Green said that their time together with the Golden State Warriors was a ‘major success.’

“I actually talked to K (Kevin Durant) yesterday,” Green said to ESPN’s Rachel Nichols. “That’s my brother. If someone would have told me, ‘Man, Kevin Durant’s gonna come to the Warriors and you guys are going to win two championships and then have a shot at winning a third, would you take that?’ In a heartbeat. That was a major success.”

Green also said that he had no idea about Durant leaving for Nets and there was also no need for him to know.

“I found out that he was picking Brooklyn when everybody else found out, which is exactly how it should be,” he said.

“He don’t owe it to me to tell me before everybody else,” Draymond continued. “We did what we had to do. The thing that people forget about in this league is this is our lives. I’m not about to go to Kevin Durant and say, ‘Hey Kevin, can I get my fiancé pregnant?’ But that’s my life. I’m sorry but that’s my life.

“Am I supposed to come to you and A) Let you know that that’s what I wanna do? Or B) Ask you for permission? No. So I found out when everybody else found out, which is exactly how it should be.”
