Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry spoke about Draymond Green's quirks, including his need to pick fights with others to unleash the real competitive monster within. The Warriors' two-time MVP noted how Green goes about finding a reason to get himself pumped up before a game.
Via Drew Shiller of NBC Sports Bay Area:
“Draymond — he's loud but he asks for it. He wants every single confrontation. He's amazing in that verbal warfare,” Curry said during a recent appearance on “The Rory & Carson Podcast.” “You don't want to pick that fight. He's the type of guy that if the room is too quiet — like in our locker room (when) we come into the arena (and) you got guys listening to their music or in their own space — he's gonna pick a fight with one of us to get himself going.”
Curry argued it's a necessity for the Warriors forward to get revved up enough to go full tilt against his opponents.
“He just needs it. It's either gonna be a teammate, it's gonna be (somebody on) the training staff,” added Curry. “They're either gonna have a debate about who's the best quarterback, or he's gonna make fun of their outfit or something. And they're just gonna go at it.
“So he can go out on the court and already feel that juice. That's why I love him. I love that type of entertainment.”
It seems Green and Curry have that line of understanding and so far it doesn't look like he's rubbed any Warrior the wrong way for picking these fights.
If it works, don't fix it.
