Durant's career with the Warriors still sparks a lot of discussion to this day, and in a regular season game with the Clippers in 18 years, Green roared at Durant on the court like he had lost his mind, saying the "Green Formula" that was later talked about by the media, and at the end of that season, Durant left the Warriors. Although Green later tried very hard to get through the unpleasant period, especially in public, often praising Durant and maintaining the appearance that he and Durant had a very good relationship, it was clear that Durant was angry with Green's words, and he did not think that Green was an unintentional joke.
After three years, Durant has established himself as the absolute boss of the Nets, the team has also achieved the first record in the East under the leadership of him and Harden, and the Warriors have finally revived this season to challenge the championship after the dissolution of the Big Five in 19 years, and the Nets and warriors are likely to meet in the Finals. Regarding the occurrence of the "Grimm Formula", Green finally responded positively, no longer using those false superficial friendliness to cover up the truth.
Recently, Green said in a guest appearance on Anthony's podcast about the 2018 dispute with Durant: "I think there was a time when he didn't want to talk to me and blocked my phone number. I could have reached him through social media, but I didn't. Because at the end of the day, our relationship depends on him. I think we can continue this friendship, but if that's not what he wants, I'll respect him because I love him. ”
"Everybody was criticizing Kevin at the time, and everybody was criticizing us. They don't know how to cherish. But people often lose to understand the greatness of the past. But we know how to cherish, and that's the most important thing. Green said.
Green's conversation was a bit of a distraction, admitting that it was his recklessness that escalated the contradictions and eventually turned into irreparable results, losing a great player like Durant to know how important he was.
In fact, as the most dominant and concerned team in the league at the beginning, Durant left the Warriors to join the Nets to change the pattern of the league, and Durant himself admitted the impact of that quarrel on his departure from the Warriors.
Durant believes that although his quarrel with Green is fierce and has aroused heated discussion from the outside world, the team's handling of this quarrel is too casual. Durant believes that head coach Kerr behaves as if nothing has happened, and general manager Miles wants Green to apologize and confuse things as soon as possible, and everyone wants to be a good person, but this is not the right way to solve things.
At the end of the day, Durant still doesn't find a sense of belonging in the Warriors, and the head coach and management regard Green as a child who makes mistakes and Durant as a guest, and this difference is the real reason why Durant left the Warriors.
Although the two sides eventually regretted breaking up, Durant did not show the slightest regret when talking about the decision to join the Warriors. Durant said: "It's really a basketball decision, but I'm also somewhat motivated by the idea of 'I don't care what you think.'" At the end of the day, I still feel like I'm a match made in heaven with this Warriors team, and I'm a good fit for this team's system. [Joining the Warriors] is a choice that doesn't need to be thought about, and a million times more, I'll still be like this, and I know what I have to do. ”
Yes, putting aside the unpleasantness of the last season, Durant joined the Warriors like a fish, won two championship rings and two FMVPs in 3 years, Durant achieved the most glorious period of the Warriors dynasty, and the Warriors also gave Durant the brightest moment of his career.
