Alright, hoop fans, let’s dive into some wild Warriors drama and a bit of nostalgia!
Draymond’s Explosive Moments
Man, Draymond Green sure knows how to keep things spicy on the court. Over the years, he’s had more outbursts than you can count on both hands. Steve Kerr, his coach for a decade, has seen it all. But there’s one incident that really stands out for him.
On a recent episode of The Dan Le Batard Show, Kerr was asked about the most memorable moment of Draymond’s temper tantrums. Without missing a beat, Kerr pointed to the infamous Jordan Poole incident. Remember October 5, 2022? Green clocked Poole during a training camp session, and that punch pretty much overshadowed their entire season.
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made a confession about what it was like to live through the incident between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole in 2022.

Kerr didn’t hold back: "He crossed the line with Jordan and he knows it. He knew it immediately, and it made that season incredibly difficult for everybody." That’s some serious stuff right there. And honestly, I think Draymond’s gotta learn to chill a bit.
Suspensions and Struggles
You’d think after decking a teammate, Draymond might tone it down. Nope, not our guy. This past year alone, he faced two long suspensions for some pretty shocking behavior on the court. One of those suspensions? A 16-game ban after he punched Jusuf Nurkic during a game against the Suns. Talk about a rough start to the season!
Draymond himself admitted it was a weird time. "Itโs like, I need you all. So a part of me is like, yo, I need to be coming in every day. But on the other side of the fence, I really need to get so far away from this shit." Balancing act, anyone?
The KD Era: Glory Days and Goodbye
Switching gears, let’s reminisce about those golden years with Kevin Durant. Kerr fondly recalls the time when KD helped the Warriors snag two NBA titles in 2017 and 2018. Sure, there was that heated moment between Draymond and KD, but Kerr believes Durant was already eyeing the exit door.
"Those years were incredible," Kerr said, reflecting on the magic KD brought to the team. Even though they lost the 2019 Finals, those three seasons were something special. Speaking of trades, did you catch that wild Curry rumor?
When KD left for Brooklyn, it was clear he needed a new challenge. Kerr could see it too: “You can tell when somebody is happy or notโฆ It was obvious to everyone that Kevin just needed a new challenge.”
So, what do you think, folks? Will Draymond ever keep his cool? And can the Warriors find their groove again without KD? Letโs hear your thoughts!
