Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green couldn't help but mention Kevin Durant once again while praising Stephen Curry.

Curry was incredible for the Warriors once again in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, scoring 29 points on 9-of-21 shooting from the field–including 5-of-12 from deep. He also had six rebounds, four assists, and three steals in an all-around effort to help the Dubs win, 107-88.

In his postgame presser, Green heaped a ton of praise on Curry and shared how he was the biggest reason for Sunday's win.

“It all starts with Steph. When KD was here, our offense still started with Steph,” Green said, per Ben Golliver of the Washington Post.

While Draymond Green was in no way taking a shot at Kevin Durant here, it isn't the first time he used the now-Brooklyn Nets forward to make his point on how great and valuable Stephen Curry is.

Just recently, Green and Durant had a back-and-forth after the Warriors vet shared how many people undervalue Curry's playoff contributions. While the sharpshooter hasn't won a Finals MVP, Green highlighted how his presence made life easier for them during their championship runs.

Green even went as far as to saying that Curry was “double-teamed” seven times more than Durant did during their time together, to which the Nets forward responded and called “100% false.”

For what it's worth, it might be hard for Durant to deny Green's statement should he do so. KD has never been the top-scorer for the Warriors during his time with the team, though he was tied with Curry in 2017-18 for the most points per game with 26.4. On the other two occasions, Steph was slightly above him.
