There was a time when Kevin Durant and Draymond Green were teammates, helping the Golden State Warriors become the best squad in the NBA.
Today, they are playing for opposing teams and sometimes butting heads.
Durant recently said that a team’s offense wins championships, and that didn’t sit right with Green.
He fired back, stating that defense is incredibly important when it comes to claiming a title.
Durant responded, once again sticking to his opinion that offense is vital.
“And the offense was????” Durant posted on X.

This is a conflict that may continue for some time, because these are two NBA players who aren’t afraid of stating their minds and sharing their opinions, no matter who it upsets.
Durant was a crucial part of the Warriors from 2016 to 2019.
During that time, he helped them win two championships and was named Finals MVP during their back-to-back title runs.
He was a sensation on offense during that time, averaging 25.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 5.4 assists.
But there is no doubt that the Warriors won their championships because both their offense and defense were strong.
They wouldn’t have claimed their Finals wins if they weren’t delivering on both ends of the court.
In the years since his departure, Durant’s relationship with the Warriors has been complicated, to put it gently.
There have been rumors of him not being happy with the team, and rumored trades that would have sent him back to Golden State have been shot down.
This latest back-and-forth with Green is sure to fire up speculation and rumors about Durant, the Warriors, and their legacy.
