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

Steve Kerr on Warriors dynasty coming to an end: “There’s no recipe for how to end it. These things all end however they end. In the Bulls’ case, it was ‘Alright, everybody’s a free agent, see ya later,’ and it was over. In San Antonio’s case, they found a way to revive it, win another title, and then guys ended up retiring and now they’ve been in a situation where they haven’t made the playoffs in a few years. So you can describe it however you want. I think what’s important to me is that our guys do it the right way. 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 stuff that happened early in the season.” “So a part of my conversations with Draymond were, ‘You owe it to yourself but also to the franchise to do this the right way. To go out competing as best you can. Be the best version of yourself. Lead the younger guys. Teach them what being a pro is about.’ And he responded beautifully. In the whole second half of the season, I thought he was amazing. I thought he played well. I thought he handled himself well. Took on a leadership role. And it was fun to watch.” -via Audacy / April 25, 2024
