Green officially responded to Durant: When you lead the team to win the championship, come back to Curry!
Recently, Durant's remarks caused heated discussions on the Internet, and he claimed in an interview: "Just because I went to the Warriors, I am not the best candidate in history? Why am I not? What am I not doing?"
As we all know, Durant joined the Warriors who had just beaten him in the Western Conference finals in the summer of 2016, and then he helped the Warriors reach the Finals for three consecutive years, winning two championships and being elected FMVP twice. With these two championships, Durant's historical status has risen rapidly, and many media have even regarded him as the best scorer of all time.
Despite this, Durant has completely become the target of criticism from fans because of the "defection" incident, believing that he can win the championship completely because of the team welfare of the Warriors, in the words of Dream Green, "We won the championship before you came!" And even Barkley and O'Neal have bluntly stated that Durant is just a passenger who gets on the bus temporarily, not the driver of this car.
Interestingly, when Durant's remarks sparked heated discussions, Green once again stepped forward to respond to the former teammate's views. Green said Durant has to do what Curry did in '22 to get into the GOAT discussion.
"Curry didn't get the recognition he has today until 2022 until he led this Warriors team to a championship and won 1 FMVP," Green said. When it was all over, Curry said, 'Come on, brothers, let's move on.'" You've just got to do what Curry did to be the best talking point in history. ”
In addition to this, Green also spoke highly of Durant's strength. "Why can't KD be on the list of best players yet? I think KD is the best scorer we've ever seen. The way KD scores, basketball is too easy for him, he's the kind of player who scores 31 points with just 14 shots. Obviously, I'm not the type of person who says 'KD's championship isn't real'. Come on, there's not a single champion that isn't real. Green said.
So, I wonder what the officials have to say about Durant and Green's respective views?
