The Golden State Warriors have won another championship, and this time, they don't have the help of Kevin Durant. Draymond Green sat in the locker room, crossed his legs, and smiled as sweet as honey. Articles on the Internet have said that it is Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond himself, who are the real Warriors spirit, as if Durant is just a passing soy sauce.
You don't look at Draymond working with Durant on the court and playing like a brother, but after Durant decided to leave the Warriors, Draymond's attitude changed significantly. He seemed to forget that the Warriors were cornered by the Cleveland Cavaliers at that time, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they even took the initiative to ask Durant to join. Now, as soon as Durant left, Draymond began to say that we are still the same strong team as before, and the addition of Durant actually has no big impact on us.
In those years, Durant really played a huge role in the Warriors, helping the team win championships two years in a row. But Draymond doesn't see it that way now, and he frequently likes articles on social media that look down on Durant's contributions, as if to tell everyone, look, even without Durant, we can still win!
Let's take a look at the Warriors' recent performances. Last season, the Warriors won the championship without Durant, with Draymond and Curry leading the way, proving the team's quality. But let's not forget, they finished the season in 10th place in the West, which makes one wonder how far the Warriors can go without Durant.
Draymond's attitude has caused a lot of controversy inside and outside the team. There are those who support him, believing that the Warriors' culture and other core players are enough to sustain the team's success. But others criticized him for negating Durant's contributions and trying to take credit for himself and the rest of the team.
But at the end of the day, the Warriors' success can't be left to one person alone. While Durant's departure did challenge the Warriors' dynastic status, they still proved to be strong. The story of the Warriors teaches us that basketball is a team sport and everyone has a role to play, but no one is irreplaceable.
Draymond may be arrogant on social media, but that's his personality. Perhaps, in his view, the Warriors' success is more about teamwork than relying on a single superstar. In any case, this kind of remark will definitely attract more controversy and discussion, after all, everyone has their own opinion, and the evaluation of history ultimately depends on the long term.
In this case, we might as well take a step back and enjoy every game, every player's efforts, instead of dwelling on who is the hero. After all, on the green field, victory is all that matters, isn't it?
