Draymond Green has been an integral part of the Golden State Warriors for years now. In the last eight years, the Warriors have won four titles cementing themselves as an NBA dynasty. However, there has always been some criticism about the way they did it. The Warriors were already a great team when they won the title in 2015 and made history in the regular season in 2016. However, that did not stop them from strengthening the roster by adding Kevin Durant in 2017.
This came under huge backlash from the fans. Recently, a former NBA player has called the Warriors dynasty “lame” and “unfair”. Interestingly, this happened during a podcast with Andre Iguodala. Now, Draymond has responded to the former player.

During a recent episode, Turner called the Warriors winning three titles in four years as “lame” and “unfair”. Turner said, “Y?all won a lot of championships, but it was lame as f**k.”?

Green is one of the leaders of this Warriors team and arguably the most expressive one. While Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson can be classified as usually quiet leaders, Green is not. And he has no problems giving back, especially with four rings. There is no comeback for that flex.
The Warriors Dynasty
The Golden State Warriors have made some very smart recruitment over the years that has helped the team abundantly. That includes drafting players like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and so forth and nurturing them. The player development of the Warriors is one of the best in the league. This became the core of the Warriors teams.

They also made a huge decision to stick with a young Curry who was struggling with injuries. Furthermore, since they were not superstars, they were tied to relatively low contracts. This helped them land a superstar in Kevin Durant. While the team looked unfair because of the talent it had, it was definitely smart business. And the team has reaped huge benefits.
