Ayesha Curry has found herself at the forefront of some controversies over the past year. Of course, it all started when she talked about the lack of male attention she gets in light of being married to Steph Curry. Many were outraged that she would be seeking approval from other men despite being married, while others tried to defend here. More recently, Curry was called a hypocrite after posting some bikini photos. In the past, Curry had stated that she didn't like seeing women showing off their skin on social media, so the bikini pics seemed contradictory.
Well, to make matters a bit complicated, Draymond Green was caught liking a tweet that criticized Curry for her hypocrisy. Of course, Draymond and Steph are teammates to liking a tweet like this definitely comes across as a bit awkward. Eventually, Twitter sleuths found out about it and exposed Green for his most recent like.
After this information went semi-viral on social media, Green immediately unliked the tweet and it is nowhere to be found from his page. Clearly, he didn't want this to become a big story or perhaps, the like was a complete accident. At this point, we'll never really know.
As for the Warriors chemistry, well, they won't have to worry about that until next year.
Kevin Durant Speaks To Lil Wayne About Draymond Green Beef
Kevin Durant isn't too worried about all of the words Draymond Green has for him.
Draymond Green has been pretty busy during quarantine although his business has come at the expense of Kevin Durant. Yes, that's right. Green has been making sure that his feelings towards Durant get heard. Clearly, Green feels some type of way that KD left Golden State last summer and he has a lot to say about it. Durant has mostly stayed quiet on the subject and has been focusing his attention on rehabbing his Achilles tendon, instead.
Last night, Durant couldn't avoid the Draymond topic as he was a guest on Lil Wayne's Young Money Radio. At one point, the legendary rapper asked KD how he feels about Green, to which KD replied: "We good... We make too much money to entertain it.”
This answer certainly won't be what fans want to hear, considering social media is typically fueled by a whole lot of negativity. At the end of the day, Durant makes a great point. He and Draymond won two championships together and it would have been three had it not been for injuries. Hopefully, they can both find it in their hearts to reconcile and get past this bitterness they have towards each other.
It's also important to shoutout Lil Wayne for asking the tough questions and getting a good answer in the process.
Draymond Green Reveals Details Of Infamous Kevin Durant Argument
Draymond Green says he even told the organization about Kevin Durant’s bad attitude.
Draymond Green has been doing a whole lot of talking as of late and we can only imagine how all of his teammates must feel about it. Most of his comments have been about none other than Kevin Durant and how the Brooklyn Nets superstar became upset with the Warriors organization. Green says he had quite a few problems with Durant and that their infamous argument last season occurred because Durant was starting to mouth off to various other players on the team.
During an episode of the “All The Smoke” podcast, Green admits that he was becoming so frustrated with KD that he eventually told general manager Bob Myers and head coach Steve Kerr about how the superstar was acting. Green went on to explain that there was a specific game in which KD crossed the line.
Per Green:
“He comes to the bench and he slaps the bench like, ‘Yo! Pass me the f***ing ball.’ I’m like, ‘Get the f*** outta here. F***ing run then.’ And he’s like, ‘You heard what the f*** I said’ and slaps the chair: ‘Pass me the f***ing ball.’ I’m like, ‘Yo, you better calm the f*** down. I don’t know who the f*** you think you’re talking to.’”
Green says the argument in the huddle became so heated that DeMarcus Cousins had to take Green aside and tell him to calm down. Cousins was on Green’s side but he wanted cooler heads to prevail.
With this new information in mind, it seems like the Warriors locker room was certainly a toxic place to be last season.

Draymond Green Has More Kevin Durant Revelations
Draymond Green has more to say on the Kevin Durant saga in the latest episode of As The Warriors Turn.
Draymond Green's relationship with Kevin Durant is well-documented. Last season, the two did not get along as there was rising tension about whether or not KD would come back to Golden State. In fact, Green recently came clean about Durant's problems with the Warriors and how guys on the team were starting to feel disrespected by the way Durant was handling free agency.
Now, Green is back for more, this time on the "All The Smoke" podcast. As you can see from the clip below, Green reveals that Durant's issues started after winning his first title with the Warriors in 2017. In fact, it seems as though Durant was resentful of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson who continued to make shots for themselves. Green says this made KD feel slighted and left out.
Per Green:
“He wasn’t like, ‘Steph, you do what you do. Klay, do what you do.' All of a sudden it was like, ‘F*** why is Steph shooting this shot or f*** he ain’t passed the ball or f*** why is Klay shooting this shot or f*** why didn’t he pass the ball?’
And I’m just sitting there like, ‘Yo, that’s the same Klay and Steph I’ve always played with’ … And I know those two guys and they’re definitely not looking you off. They may not see you because they got tunnel vision at times, which all scorers do … but they ain’t ever gonna look you off. I’ve been playing with them since I came to the league. That’s just not who they are.”
The feud between KD and Green won't be coming to a close anytime soon and quite honestly, as an NBA fan, this drama is really keeping us alive during the quarantine.
Draymond Green Explains How Michael Jordan Disappointed Him
Draymond Green spoke on Michael Jordan’s handling of Scottie Pippen’s injury holdout.
By now, most basketball fans have watched the first two episodes of ESPN’s “The Last Dance” which covers Michael Jordan and the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls. One of the biggest storylines so far has been how Scottie Pippen wanted a trade from the Bulls as he was pissed off with how he was being treated by general manager Jerry Krause. In fact, Pippen waited to get surgery on his foot, just so he could have a reason to sit out well into the season.
MJ wasn’t a very big fan of this move and made his feelings known in the documentary. Recently, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors spoke about Jordan’s comments and expressed disappointment in his leadership abilities. As Green explains, he should have been backing up his guy.
Per Green:
“And so I was kind of a little disappointed when Mike, still to this day, is like ‘Scottie was wrong.’ Like, no. You roll with your dogs, because they ride with you. … [Mike’s] making 36 million dollars, and [Pippen’s] making two [million], yet you’re saying when you mention [Michael Jordan’s] name there’s no way you can not mention Scottie Pippen’s name? And he’s just supposed to sit there? That don’t make sense. It’s very easy to say, like, ‘no, you should be good’ [when] your house is huge, you got 36 million dollars coming in, and this man got two [million]. That’s crazy.”
In the same interview, Green spoke about Kevin Durant and some of the beef he had with the superstar over his handling of last season’s free agency fiasco. Needless to say, Green has a lot to get off his chest.
Draymond Green Hits Kevin Durant With Some Harsh Criticism
Draymond Green still seems to have some resentment for Kevin Durant.
When Kevin Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder to join the Golden State Warriors in the summer of 2016, he ultimately helped secure that franchise's legacy as having an all-time great dynasty. Over the course of three seasons, Durant helped the team get to three straight finals while winning two consecutive championships. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows though as Durant was looking elsewhere in his final season with the team.
Durant was a free agent last year and he continued to get questions about his future with the Warriors. This created a huge strain between him and his teammates and now, Draymond Green is speaking out with a harsh dose of criticism. In an appearance on Uninterrupted, Green was very frank about his distaste for the way KD handled last season.
"And then you kind of had Kevin [saying], 'I don't know what I'm going to do next year' and it don't matter, but it does [matter] because you're not the only person that has to answer that question," Green said. "And to be quite frank with you, you're honestly the last person that has to answer that question because you don't really say s--t, you don't say much to the media, if anything, you tell them to 'Shut the f--k up.' Well, I don't tell them to 'Shut the f--k up.' I kind of have a conversation. So I'm stuck answering that question all the time. And due to that, there was always an elephant in the room amongst us as opposed to [the Bulls]. They didn't have that elephant."
We all know Green and Durant have a peculiar history and these comments just further the notion that the two don't like each other. Either way, this will certainly split the Warriors fanbase in two.
Spencer Dinwiddie Humbles Warriors Fans For Shaq Hot Takes
Spencer Dinwiddie had to make sure Warriors fans don't get too out of line.
Golden State Warriors fans have had a lot to cheer about over the course of the last five years. Barring their horrific season this year, the Warriors have made it to the last five NBA Finals and have even won a grand total of three championship. Their core during that time was none other than Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and even Kevin Durant for a couple of years.
Over the past year, Green has been exposed without Steph and Klay in the lineup. Regardless, some Warriors fans seem to think Green could have locked down Shaq while the big man was in his prime. In a recent Twitter exchange, Spencer Dinwiddie of the Brooklyn Nets humbled Warriors fans who thought this to be the case.
"Warriors Twitter was drunk off of dynasty champagne. Understandable, but everybody sobers up eventually," Dinwiddie wrote. These comments came after choosing between two teams that contained numerous legends. He even picked Team A (LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kobe Bryant, Shaq and Giannis) over a team consisting of his Nets teammates, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Dinwiddie made sure to note that he wasn't dissing his teammates and that he simply couldn't bet against someone like Shaq.
Warriors fans probably won't take too kindly to these comments but hey, such is life.
Draymond Green Reacts With Concern To NBA Coronavirus Scare
NBA players around the league are concerned about the events of the last couple of days.
It’s safe to say the NBA has been through hell and back the last couple of days in light of the fact that two of its players have been diagnosed with the Coronavirus. Those players are Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz. After the news of Gobert’s diagnosis, the league shut down all operations and now, the league is on a temporary hiatus.
Players around the NBA are reacting to the news and as you can imagine, they are scared about the consequences. Not to mention, they are also fairly shocked that this happened to one of their peers. Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors was particularly taken aback by the events of the last few days.

“It is insane,” Green said according to Marcus Thompson III of the Athletic. “It’s one of those things where it doesn’t hit home until it hits home. The stuff that happened with the Jazz, honestly, just put everybody on alert. You’re thinking, ‘It won’t happen to me. It won’t happen to me. It can’t happen to me.’ Then it happens to someone in your same field. Someone you’re on the court with four times a year — and you’re playing against players he played against. To be honest, it makes me think about everybody who possibly could be affected that don’t necessarily have health care or enough resources to get through this.”
For the next 30 days, the NBA will be shut down and the hiatus could last a lot longer depending on how the virus continues to spread. With this in mind, stay tuned for updates as we will be sure to bring them to you.
Charles Barkley Rips Draymond Green For His Appearance
Charles Barkley and Draymond Green still don’t like each other very much.
Charles Barkley and Draymond Green have been going at each other for a while now. Barkley doesn’t seem to like Green’s arrogance very much and the feeling is mutual at this point. The hatred between these two has ramped up this season thanks to the fact the Golden State Warriors haven’t been very good. In fact, the Warriors are last place in the NBA and Green’s play has been exposed without Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in the lineup.
Recently, Green lashed out at Barkley saying he could easily take the NBA on TNT star’s job. Green thinks he would be a great analyst and that Barkley doesn’t even do that well on TV. TMZ recently caught up with Barkley where they asked him about Green’s comments. As you can imagine, Barkley followed it all up with even more jokes.
“I think [Draymond is] a good player and a great guy. I like messing with him but he’s got the perfect face for radio,” Barkley said. “He don’t have a TV face! He could do the job but he doesn’t have a face for TV.”
Needless to say, the feud between these two isn’t going to end anytime soon, even if it may all be in good fun.
Draymond Green Reacts To New Deal With Converse
Draymond Green recently debuted the Converse G4.

If I get to conquer it with family, it don’t get no sweeter than that.”

According to Converse, the high-top and low-top versions will be dropping soon for $120 and $110 USD, respectively.
