Kevin Durant’s long history of ups and downs with Draymond Green continues.
During an episode of his podcast this week, Green raised some eyebrows when pointing at reasons why Steph Curry was the real MVP during their finals run with Durant.
âSteph Curry got double teamed probably seven times the amount that KD did in a given series⊠Yet, the guy still averages, Iâm not sure what his Finals average is, but Iâd be willing to bet my bottom dollar itâs north of 23 points. So, the impact that he has on the game, if you donât understand basketball, then youâre going to come out and youâre going to say, âHe needs to validate that by [winning] a Finals MVP.’â
âThey need those shiny objects for them to be able to analyze whatâs going on⊠Steph Curry got double teamed 7X the amount KD didâŠthe impact he has on a game, if you donât understand basketball, youâre going to say he needs a FMVP to validate who he is.â – Dray on Steph/FMVP pic.twitter.com/G5fY0olGLR

When a fan on social media asked Kevin Durant about Draymond Green’s comments, he (obviously) didn’t agree.
From my view of it, this is 100% false⊠https://t.co/of6pFJUfvi

Kevin Durant would also clap bay to fans who took Draymond Green’s point of view, even saying the notion that Steph Curry was the one always getting double-teamed was a “blatant lie”.
This never happened to steph while I was there, blatant lie

But u refuse to state the benefits of having me on that team too, see thatâs where the discrediting comes in.

While Draymond Green, Steph Curry and the Warriors are set for their NBA Finals appearance this week, Kevin Durant remains at home watching the action after the Nets were bounced in the first round.
By the sounds of it, KD will be coming out with a vengeance when next season rolls around.
