Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors player, spoke in an interview with ESPN and touched on several matters related to his team.
Under the leadership of Steve Kerr, the Golden State Warriors have transformed the game of basketball. Over the past nine years, they have won four NBA championships and reached two more finals. One of the most instrumental figures in the team’s success is undoubtedly the experienced Draymond Green.
“I don’t like to necessarily put a number on things,” Green told ESPN. “But I don’t see why we can’t get two more championships. Why not? I look at this as one of the most important years of my career. My goal is that we can help Chris Paul get his first championship.
About Chris Paul
“A guy that’s at the center of everything. At the center of every play, what the other team is running at the center of their defense. Talking on both ends of the floor, working the referees, working our coach, working players in the middle of every tussle. Battling, elbowing, nasty. Of course you’re going to hate him [as an opponent].“
“We’ve gotten together as a team, we’ve kicked it together and the vibe feels great. And I’m a student of the game of basketball and Chris Paul is a master, and I’m looking forward to learning from him.”
The veteran spoke about conflict with Jordan Poole.
“But how do you stand when it goes wrong, when things ain’t on your side. When everybody’s against you, when the world is saying, ‘Oh man, now all of a sudden you’re not worth the money you make.’ Or, ‘You’re the cancer and you’re the problem’ four championships later.”
