Draymond Green has seemed to be quite the hot head these last couple of months. A lingering issue involving LeBron James in the NBA Finals has caused the masses to assume Green and James have beef with one another.

Well, Green was recently interviewed regarding this beef.

“A lot of people try to make it out to be, you know, with LeBron and I, that there’s this beef, and this, that and the other…It’s not. Me and LeBron are friends. We’re business partners,” Green told Chatter Sports Net. “Nonetheless, when I step on the court next year, I’m gonna go at him. When he steps on the court next year, he’s gonna go at me. That’s the game we play. It’s not about ‘Oh, you’re doing this. You’re doing that.’ Off the court is off the court, and on the court is on the court.”

It's good to see that these two championship caliber athletes are able to maintain a professional relationship off the court. Tensions can run high between two leaders who have had to share the NBA title these past two years. The bad blood is safely going to stay on the court, and even then, these players should hopefully play with the utmost professionalism.
