Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is not letting bygones be bygones in terms of his beef with former teammate and now Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant.
The three-time All-Star put KD on notice on Monday in an interview with UNINTERRUPTED. Dray let out a NSFW tirade regarding Durant's final season with the Dubs in 2019.
Durant, who was on the tail-end of his two-year, $54.3 million contract with the Warriors, was verbally non-committal about returning when asked by the media throughout the 2018-19 campaign.
“What should have happened was Kevin come out and say, ‘Hey, man, this is it. So let's do this. You can't just leave the elephant in the room because what happened was the questions came to us,” Green said of Kevin Durant.
Dray's full expletive tirade begins at the 36-minute mark of the clip.
Draymond Green added that Warriors head coach Steve Kerr did a great job in trying to manage the cloud of uncertainty that hovered above the once-great dynasty.
Green's words, meanwhile, were fueled after watching ESPN”s “The Last Dance” documentary about the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls squad. The 6-foot-6 Michigan State alum saw a strong parallel between the dynamics of the Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen situation to what the Warriors had to go through last season.
Golden State saw their reign end after Toronto Raptors beat them in the 2019 Finals. Durant suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in Game 5 of the series, effectively ending his tenure with the Bay Area franchise.
It is also worth noting that Green and Durant figured in a heated confrontation back in November 2018 against the Philadelphia 76ers. An irate Green verbally assaulted Durant as they sat on the bench following a late-game meltdown.
Pundits believe that incident was the final straw that ultimately led to Durant's decision to leave the Warriors.
