On Tuesday evening, the Golden State Warriors got back into the win column with a comfortable home victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. It was a solid game from Draymond Green, who scored 10 points to go along with seven rebounds, and played his typical excellent defense throughout the game in what turned out to be a 119-97 home win.
After the game, Green got 100% honest on whether or not his opinion, once decidedly negative, on potentially becoming a coach one day has changed.

Green has long been lauded for his basketball IQ, able to see plays before they happen and read both opposing defenses and offenses, turning himself into an elite two-way player throughout his career.
