Warriors’ Draymond Green voices support for Kevin Love’s veiled callout

Green has been criticized throughout his career because of his in-your-face attitude. Even though he’s an accomplished player on the court, helping the Warriors to four championships and being one of the top defenders in history, he’s also notorious for his shenanigans. The video of him punching former teammate Jordan Poole will never be forgotten. He has also been in numerous beefs with fellow players, most notably with Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert.

Green, a former Defensive Player of the Year, has acknowledged his faults and vowed to work on them, including undergoing therapy sessions. Warriors coach Steve Kerr has acknowledged Green as the heartbeat of the team over the years.

Love, meanwhile, is in his final chapter with the Jazz, although there have been rumors that he will be bought out or waived. He has also been one of the more vocal players in the NBA, especially in advocating for mental health.

In March, he called out ESPN host Stephen A. Smith following his much-ballyhooed back-and-forth with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. Love and James won a championship together on the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 and have maintained a deep relationship.
