Kevin Durant’s camaraderie is once again under scrutiny. This time through Draymond Green, as he expresses disappointment in KD’s recent comments about him. The remarks surfaced during the early stages of Green’s suspension, following a post-game press conference where he got involved in an altercation with Jusuf Nurkic. The incident prompted both Jusuf and Durant to question Green’s character and mental state.

While Jusuf’s concerns may be justified, Durant’s comments seem surprising given their history of winning multiple championships together. This has now resulted in Green openly displaying his displeasure with KD’s remarks. Notably, media personality Stephen A. Smith has weighed in on the situation.

Stephen A. Smith aligns with Draymond Green’s reasons

Stephen A. Smith swiftly rushed to Draymond Green’s defense after Green’s podcast gained traction. Observing the unfolding drama, Smith asserted that Kevin Durant, with over a decade’s experience in the league, should have known better. He went on to express full agreement with Green’s decision to vocalize his sentiments, stating, “which, to me, gave Draymond Green every right to clap back at him.” Taking it a step further, Smith suggested that in case Durant knew what he was doing. His comments might have been intentionally hurtful towards Green.

Smith emphasized that the connection between Green and KD extends beyond the basketball court, as they share a mutual friendship with Rich Paul. The agent represents both Jusuf and Green, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. Furthermore, Smith underscored the potential repercussions of KD’s comments, especially considering the racial aspect. As a prominent figure in the league, Durant’s words carry weight and can easily be misconstrued by a broad audience, potentially leaving a lasting negative impact.

Draymond got his revenge on Kevin Durant?

In the recent podcast, Green revealed the dynamics of his on-court matchup with Nurkic, highlighting how he gained the upper hand against the Phoenix Suns‘ big man. However, the game also provided another intense moment, where Green, in a crucial situation, seemed to exact on-court revenge against Durant.

In the final minutes, as Phoenix attempted to inbound the ball to Durant, Green took charge. With mere seconds on the clock, Green put the clamps on KD. When Devin Booker tossed the ball, Green applied intense pressure on Durant, preventing him from taking a shot and deflecting the ball the moment KD touched it.
