Draymond Green's competitive nature is engrained in his game. The Golden State Warriors' forward plays with a chip on his shoulder and with nearly unmatched intensity every game. It should come as no surprise that Green came right out and blasted those in the NBA who don't share those traits.
As the Warriors gear up for their next battle with the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA playoffs, Green said simply that he doesn't think everyone in the league wants to win.
“I don’t believe that everyone in this league wants to win,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said.

Whether it's the players Green dubbed as those who aren't cut out for the postseason or the teams around the league who embrace tanking, the Warriors star has plenty to gripe about. So many teams in the league having mindsets for the future make the tradeoff of being bad in the short-term. For players, this is understandably not a popular plan with everyone.
Green speaking his mind is far from something new. The Warriors' star has always done so in press conferences, interviews and his own podcast. Especially with ESPN host Chris Russo rehashing the “shut up and play” message, Green won't tolerate being silent.
The Warriors, of course, have surrounded Green with the right teammates to help him win. They are into the second round of the NBA playoffs with the hope to add to their history of championships.
