LeBron James is all set on his way to make history, eventually. Recently, the King passed up Karl Malone to become the second-leading scorer of all time and further grew his legacy. Looking at this achievement, his good friend Draymond Green came up to the surface and spoke about the historic feat. He congratulated James and even made a controversial statement regarding the Golden State Warriors. However, one fan did not take well to his comments, and Green responded to him.
Even at 37, LeBron is putting up nothing short of historic performances every single night. He is leading the league in scoring and breaking the grounds of longevity. This propelled him to take over Karl Malone in no time. Now, the only guy left to overtake is Kareem Adbul-Jabbar who sits at 38,387 points. While on his podcast, Green said he will do whatever it takes to be at the game LeBron takes over the mantle of all-time scoring leader, even if it means missing a game.

But this seemed to have rubbed a Warriors fan in a wrong way who lashed out at Draymond on Twitter. But, Green, being himself, shut down the fan real quick.
Draymond Green shuts down fan over Warriors claim
During a recent episode of his podcast, Green issued a warning to Steve Kerr that raised many eyebrows. He claimed if the Warriors have a game on the same day as LeBron breaking Kareem’s record, he will skip out on the game. Subsequently, a Warriors fan took to Twitter and lashed out on Green. He said it was terrible leadership by Draymond to put friends over the team. Green, not being one to stay quiet, gave a simple 3-word response,

While in a normal circumstance it may seem wrong for Green, the day will be monumental in history. Kareem has been on top for over 30 years. Now, LeBron has broken all odds and comes up close to passing Kareem. In addition, Green and James are great friends having ventures together. Hence, he has more reason to be present. While no one can judge the personal choices of players, one thing is for sure; Green is one of the best leaders in basketball.
