While a lot of players who grew up playing together, from the AAU to the NBA, remain good friends and share a strong bond, the same was not said about Draymond Green by Steve Kerr. Instead of acknowledging his good relationships with others he practically grew up with, the fourth year head coach understands that is not the case with his starting power forward.
Kerr recently admitted that with how competitive Green has been, it seems like he wants to “kill everybody.” Of course he was exaggerating with his term, but it goes to show how he sees him everyday during practices and even in games.
A lot of guys grew up (in AAU) and are buddy-buddy. Draymond wants to kill everybody, metaphorically speaking.'

The two-time All-Star has made a name for himself as a fierce competitor throughout his career, who is not afraid to show a lot of emotions. Often seen as a player prone to receiving technical fouls and getting involved in skirmishes, Green doesn't appear to be concerned about his image, as long as he brings a lot of toughness and energy to the Golden State Warriors.
With Kerr's comments, it also proves how highly he thinks of the 27-year-old Michigan State product. He may only be averaging 9.7 points so far this season, but he more than makes up for it by producing 7.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game, and the attitude of a no non-sense player on the court, which clearly has not gone unnoticed by his head coach.
