Draymond Green Makes Feelings Clear About Former Warriors Star Kevin Durant

Recently, Green stuck up for Durant on his podcast (The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis).

Green: "He is a star, a legend, a GOAT, a champion, an Olympic Gold medalist... Four times. You can't go at KD's game so you start talking about leadership... KD is KD. Point blank. Period."

Green had been referencing a back-and-forth between Emmanuel Acho and Durant.

Considering Green and Durant extensive history, fans will likely enjoy seeing him make those positive comments.

As opponents, they have faced off 26 times.

Green has the 14-12 advantage in those matchups.

Via @StatMamba (on February 11, 2024): "Kevin Durant when guarded by Draymond Green last night:

1/3 FG (33.3%)
3 TOV"

Durant finished his 17th NBA season (and third with the Suns) averaging 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest while shooting 52.7% from the field and 43.0% from the three-point range in 62 games.

However, the Suns missed the 2025 NBA playoffs (after finishing as the 11th seed).

The two-time NBA Champion is coming off a summer where he won his fourth Olympic Gold Medal.

Via StatMuse: "Kevin Durant Team USA records:

1st in PTS
1st in PPG
1st in FG
1st in 3P
1st in FT

USA basketball GOAT?"
