During a 15-minute media session on Wednesday, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr took full responsibility for his argument with Draymond Green that led to the forward leaving the bench during a third-quarter timeout in Monday’s 120-97 win over the Orlando Magic.
Kerr admitted the incident was not his proudest moment, noting that both he and Green apologized to each other and the team, emphasizing that competitive personalities sometimes clash even after 12 years of working together.
Kerr reflected on his long-standing partnership with Green, highlighting the forward’s immense impact on the franchise’s four championships and describing their similarities in competitiveness and passion.
He praised Green’s loyalty and dedication to the Warriors, stating that his top goal is for Green to retire as a Warrior, continuing to compete alongside the team until the end of his career.
Acknowledging that the current Warriors are no longer the dominant squad of 2017, Kerr described the team as a “fading dynasty” and stressed the importance of embracing the struggle and taking pride in their efforts.
Despite the team’s 15-15 record and challenges this season, Kerr remains optimistic about their potential to build cohesion and achieve success, underscoring Green’s critical role in the team’s identity and future.
