Draymond Green on the embarrassment of being around the Warriors last season: I was probably late on purpose 20 times because of the Jordan Poole incident

Steve Kerr on the end of the Warriors dynasty: “There’s no recipe for how you end them. These things all end the way they end. With the Bulls, it was, ‘Okay, everyone’s free agents, see you later,’ and then it was over. With San Antonio, they found a way to revive it, win another title, and then guys quit and now they’re in a situation where they haven’t been in the playoffs in a couple of years. So you can describe it however you want. I think what’s important to me is that our guys do it right. With dignity. With grace. I understand that we haven’t always done that. There have been moments where – with Draymond, the incident with Jordan (Poole) last year. That’s not dignified. Obviously. The things that happened earlier in the season.” “So part of my conversations with Draymond was, ‘You owe it to yourself, but also to the franchise, to do it right. To compete as well as you can. Be the best version of yourself. Lead the younger guys. Teach them what it means to be a pro.’ And he responded beautifully. The whole second half of the season, I thought he was great. I thought he played well. I thought he did well. He took on a leadership role. And he was fun to watch.” – via Audacy / April 25, 2024
