Draymond Green and Kevin Durant’s relationship has been well documented over the years. The two NBA icons were in the limelight for their 2018 courtside argument, ultimately playing a role in Durant’s decision to leave the Warriors. Years later, the two icons have cleared the air, even going ahead and establishing that they are indeed here to support each other.

The three-time NBA champion was recently on What’s in Your Glass? with Carmelo Anthony, discussing various things including Kevin Durant.

In conversation with Anthony, Green spoke about how Durant will always support him. “He got my back in life. I know if something’s f*** up with me, I can turn to him. And vice versa.”

He added that no matter what the situation is, Durant can always come to him.

Green elaborated further, adding how he cannot take Durant for granted. “I felt like it would be great for us to have that conversation publicly because I publicly f*** it up. … And so, I wanted to have that conversation publicly because people publicly saw it, and they needed to, No. 1, understand that we are brothers and amongst Black men, we can reconcile.”

The both of them did talk their problems out, and are finally in a space they needed to be. “And then I also felt like he was ready to talk about it. I’m sick of hearing everybody’s narrative that was wrong.” In the end, Durant, too, was tired of what people had to say.


As of now, both players and teams are preparing for the upcoming NBA season. While Durant and the Nets will attempt to bag the title, GSW will look to get back into contention as Klay Thompson’s return nears.
