I get it! Draymond Green fans say most competitive player in NBA gave up on improving 3-point shot after his injury nearly decade ago! Not even Draymond would give himself that excuse. – 12:22 AM

More on this storyline
The Warriors in the last decade have grown to have their biggest nemesis be the closest player still chasing the GOAT on the court. Off the court, a Hall of Famer also has been one of their biggest haters. Charles Barkley’s fiery hate for the Warriors isn’t cooling off. Draymond Green being his broadcasting teammate at TNT hasn’t helped. It only increased Barkley’s disdain for the Dubs. He always has a reason to not believe in the Warriors, and though it was in a subtle way, Barkley recently showed his lack of belief going into next season. Speaking with NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole on “Dubs Talk” at the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Resort, Barkley only named four teams he sees as contenders right now. They are the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers. -via NBC Sports Bay Area / July 26, 2023
Were the Cavaliers trying to bait Draymond Green into getting suspended from the 2016 NBA Finals? “Everyone was trying to bait him, and they’re mad about it.” — @channingfrye -via Twitter / July 26, 2023
In a recent interview with HEIR, Anthony Edwards revealed that his ideal matchup in the playoffs would be the Warriors simply because he desires to be the one to silence Green. “I want to play the Warriors [in the playoffs]. Wherever they at, I want to get to them,” Edwards said. When asked about the reason behind his fixation with facing Golden State in the postseason, the former Georgia Bulldogs star simply responded “Because Draymond [Green] talks so much trash.” -via Clutch Points / July 25, 2023
The NBA star, now playing for the Phoenix Suns, grew up in the area in Seat Pleasant, Maryland, not far from the team’s home stadium. Durant took in practice on the hottest day of the year so far from the suites atop the newly constructed bleachers on the sideline and was followed out by a group of fans, many taking photos or video and yelling, “KD!” “It’s great to have KD here,” coach Ron Rivera said after practice. “I know he’s a local guy. I know how much of a Washington Redskins/Commanders fan he is. Great to have his support.” -via Pilot Online / July 29, 2023
In an interview with Joy De’Angela, Erving let loose on the concept of superteams, with the now-Phoenix Suns star specifically in the Philadelphia 76ers legend’s crosshairs. “Look how many times Durant has hopped around. […] “The prisoners are running the show and not the warden. It’s where the star player on the team is like, ‘Screw this city and all this support that they’ve given me and I’m going south, I’m going to Florida, I’m going to LA or I’m going to Texas or I’m going somewhere else. They’re business decisions, understand, but they have not helped the game,” Erving said. -via Clutch Points / July 28, 2023
