Klutch sees Steph as the enemy, they should see him as a great to uplift Lebron, This is why I don't like Green playing both sides, it doesn't feel right, I get it it's business…..
Bird and Magic was smarter than this they joined each other to uplift their greatness they never…— Ricky G (@jrichardgoodman) September 4, 2023

As a result, the incendiary statement triggered a fiery response from Draymond..
Imagine overvaluing your opinion so much, that you get this caught up in two men lives. Starts using the word “Enemy” to describe two black heroes, and then proceed to falsely accuse another black man of playing both sides. Both sides of what to be exact? A pointless debate? https://t.co/LJW9FQs8OZ

Or… The simple appreciation of others greatness? I am super confused on what sides it is that you speak of. Lastly, I don’t play anything but basketball. You don’t make it this far in life “playing”… with the exception being playing basketball for me. Good luck with the debate
