Dream Green publicly apologized to retire, but was retained by Xiao Hua, and revealed his true feelings and claimed to be the most sorry for Curry!
Dream Green was suspended indefinitely last month due to repeated violent incidents on the court, and must undergo counselling and meet certain conditions before he can return. He has been on the sidelines again a few days ago and is currently suspended for less than a month.
The Warriors star recently shared his thoughts on his solo show, The Draymond Green Show, apologizing to the players who were beaten, his teammates and his family, and considering retirement after being suspended, but only changed his mind when NBA commissioner Silva kept him.
The Warriors punched teammate Poole during practice, stepped on Kings star Sabonis in the playoffs last April, locked the throat of Timberwolves center Gobert in the regular season this season, and punched Suns center Nurkic in the face last month...... This series of events occurred within a year, and as a result, after the Nurkic incident, Green was criticized by the outside world and was suspended by the league indefinitely.
On the show, he began by apologizing to Nurkic and Gobert, "I did something wrong, I admit my mistake and apologize for it. Green then said he had gone too far on the wrong path, "I admit that I crossed that line, and I apologize for that." 」
Later, the 33-year-old Green mentioned that after being suspended indefinitely by the league, he told Silva: "It's too much, I'm retiring. But at the time, Silva was able to hold back, "He said to me, 'You're making a very hasty decision, and I'm not going to let you do that. We had a long, pleasant conversation, and that helped me a lot. It's great to work with a leader like Silva in the league, he's more willing to help you than hurt you or punish you, and he cares about the players. 」
"It's heart-wrenching for me to feel the pain of this incident, and it's heart-wrenching for my wife, children and parents to put in an embarrassing situation because ......of it," Green continued on the show. "My mother has also received death threats, and my two children are still in school in the Bay Area, and they have to bear what I have done. 」
As one of the main players of the Warriors, his absence naturally caused a lot of trouble for the team, and Green apologized to the Warriors on the show. He mentioned that Warriors coach Kerr had visited him, and both of them cried about it, but the most heart-wrenching thing for him was the criticism of Curry.
"One thing that really hurt me was the other day I turned on the TV and saw Stephen A. Smith (the famous host) saying, 'Curry is a bad leader because Green did XX. It made me angry, but it also hit me. Green said. "How can Curry be called a bad leader? Nothing is going to let us down, this guy does everything right, and yet he's being criticized for my actions? 」
Since Green entered the NBA in 2012, he has worked with Curry with the Warriors, and has won four championships together over the years. Seeing that Curry was criticized by the public for himself, he said that he would also apologize publicly for it: "I sincerely apologize to Curry for my actions. I'm also very grateful to him during the time I've been away, we talk every day and he'll say to me, 'Well, I'm going to be there for you this way, I'm going to help you get over it.' He's been doing it all the time. 」
In the end, Green said that he would not change the way he played when he returned, but he would put those antics behind. The Warriors have a 7-6 record in Dream's absence, and Kerr said all teammates are looking forward to his return, though it's still unclear exactly which game Green will return.
