As the 2023-24 NBA season inches closer, the basketball courts are heating with incessant dribbling. Several NBA stars are gearing up for the action. The Phoenix Sun?s power forward Kevin Durant has started early. He was lately spotted training for the upcoming season.?

Surprisingly, KD was shooting hoops with another ex-Warriors? MVP. The dynamic duo seemed to be sweating hard on the court. Their chemistry was sizzling as ever. Yet, NBA fans speculate that this hoop session may just be a bonding session over their ?trauma.?

Are former Warriors bonding over their mutual enemy?

The NBA fans certainly seem to think so. Kevin Durant hanging out with Jordan Poole is no coincidence. Both former Golden State Warriors have been burnt before by the same fire. KD and Poole have had several altercations with this 4x NBA champ, Draymond Green. Did talking trash about Green help KD bond with Poole? Well, that?s up for speculation.?

In the 2018-19 NBA season, Green and Durant were seen arguing on the court as the game wiggled into overtime. The players screamed at the top of their lungs and had to be separated. According to Durant, Green?s failure to pass the ball had caused the game to spill into overtime. The heated argument on the court paved the way for countless Twitter feuds ultimately resulting in KD quitting the Warriors.?

Similarly, a year ago, Poole found himself in a head-on altercation with Green during a practice session. Green came chest-to-chest, and the players pushed each other violently.?

Fans call it the ?Trauma Bonding? session

And why wouldn?t they? Looking at the history, KD and Poole have strained relationships with Draymond. Hence, the speculation seems spot on. NBA fans took over the comment section, and some of these tweets are a must-read. ?I can only imagine what is being said about Draymond in this hoop session,??says one. Another fan renamed this session and called it the ?Draymond Green hate club.?

Fans found common ground. They assumed that KD and Poole quit the Warriors because of the frequent run-ins with Green. A fan tweeted, ?They should both be warriors still, if only a certain person [Draymond Green] didn?t ruin it.?

?They have one common thing, Draymond ran them both out of Golden State,? said another.?

Fans stacked the comment section with Draymond Green GIFs that are down-right hilarious.
