5 Interesting Segments From Stephen Curry's Interview on the BS Podcast

#5 Steph's favourite Draymond story

Los Angeles Clippers v Golden State Warriors

Some people think Draymond Green is the most overrated player in the league, while others will go to the ends of the earth to defend his importance to the Warriors. What nobody can do, however, is ignore a raucous presence like him on the floor.

A Defensive Player of the Year winner and the best passer out of the low post in the game, Green brings the life and soul of the Warriors out every time he steps on court, and his tough love allows his teammates to constantly exert maximum effort on the floor in the same manner as he does.

Simmons brings Draymond into the discussion by asking:

"What’s your favorite Draymond story? What’s the one story that captures what it’s like to be on the same team as Draymond Green? Other than the game where he almost got thrown out for trash-talking the Clippers when he wasn’t even in uniform."

Curry goes on to talk about a practice session when Steve Kerr and Draymond butted heads:

"I remember that game. Probably the times him and Coach Kerr get into it. And you’re inside of practice and you don’t know whose side to take. Just like, 'I guess they’re both right, but they’re both wrong.'"

Simmons: What do they argue about? Give me an example. Just where [Draymond] should go on a play?

Curry:

"They argue about a play call or maybe something Coach Kerr has been thinking about for a couple games. ... And [Draymond’s] like, 'Don’t over-coach. We know what we doing.' And coach is like, 'Well, I know you know what you’re doing, but let me just help you as I’m supposed to do. That’s what my job is, to point out things that could be important for us to win a championship.'"

"But they have a real—the respect level between those two is at an all-time high, but they have their moments and it’s just amazing entertainment to watch in practice. Coach’s first year, we were doing some five-on-five drill. It was early season, and Draymond loves talking trash to the whole team—doesn’t matter if it’s me. Shaun Livingston was posting me up on the block and I had no chance to try to contest his shot. And he did a little turnaround, a Shaun Livingston vintage turnaround."
