Draymond Green's relationship with Kevin Durant has healed since a November locker room tiff between the two after an overtime road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Yet one part that still hurts Green about their divorce since Durant left the Golden State Warriors for the Brooklyn Nets in the summer is how he feels about his three-year stint in The Bay.
“The thing that bothered me most was not that Kevin was mad or not that people were saying I was wrong or not that we lost that particular game and definitely not that Kevin decided to leave,” Green told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. “The thing that bothered me the most was that when, you know, when Kevin goes on his things he's doing in the media or stuff and he says, oh, I wasn't a part of that. Or, like, I was different than those guys. A part of it is like, no, he [was] one of us, and it pisses me off.”
During an interview with WSJ. Magazine, Durant said he never really felt like one of the guys during his stint in Golden State, something that clearly hurts Green, considering he and the core of All-Star players tried their hardest to make him feel included.
Durant's revelations were as hard-hitting as his absence during the NBA Finals, and they revealed a lot of feelings that were kept suppressed during his time with the Warriors. Durant was already an accomplished scorer and a potent All-Star before joining a cast of formidable players that had been together for a while, and even though he grew with them, he likely didn't feel the same bond as those who had been with the team since 2013 or prior.
