Draymond Green Calls Durant Exchange ‘No Beef’ in Offense-Defense Debate

He reiterates that Golden State’s championships leaned on defense.

Overview

  • On a new episode of The Draymond Green Show, Green said there is no beef with Kevin Durant and framed their public back-and-forth as competitive talk.
  • Green maintained that the Warriors’ titles were driven by elite defense and said championship teams need to be top 10 on both ends of the floor.
  • Durant previously told Netflix’s Starting 5 that offense wins championships, arguing that teams cannot win without scoring.
  • Durant followed up on X with the post, “And the offense was????,” and later complained that some people take his comments out of context.
  • Reports placed the exchange in the context of their Warriors tenure, noting two championships and three Finals appearances with mutual respect persisting.
