Draymond Green just can't stop yelling at his former Golden State Warriors teammate Kevin Durant, even in Team USA.
The Tokyo Olympics men's basketball gold medal match was a witness to that after Draymond was caught on camera shouting at Durant. It was after KD played lackluster defense that led to a 3-pointer for France.
Durant didn't make a big deal out of it, but he surely remembered what Green wanted him to do. A few minutes later, the Brooklyn Nets superstar buckled up defensively and was able to stop another 3-point attempt from the Frenchmen (h/t Thomas Sullivan on Twitter).

The moment surely brought back a lot of memories when they were still teammates on the Warriors.
For what it's worth, though, Draymond Green and Kevin Durant have already moved on from their past feuds and heated exchanges. Moreover, Green's latest call-out on KD doesn't look negative at all, as he's probably just emphasizing the need to defend the 3-point line given the close nature of the game.
Team USA won the gold medal match, 87-82. However, France was able to cut the lead to just three with 10 seconds left on the clock, giving fans quite a scare.
Had it not been for Green's intervention and Durant listening and responding, who knows how much closer and tighter the game might have been.
