Draymond Green: "No Beef" With Kevin Durant
Draymond Green insists there’s “no beef” with Kevin Durant after a public back-and-forth about what won the Warriors their titles. Durant told Netflix’s Starting 5 that offense wins championships; Green countered that Golden State’s defense was the engine of those rings, and Durant replied on social. On his podcast Green framed it as competitive banter — “This ain't no beef...we gonna talk our s--t” — not a personal feud. Merlin sees this as two champions debating the recipe for greatness, not a falling-out. Their spat reshapes how fans argue the Warriors’ legacy, but it’s more heat than harm — familiar chemistry between loud personalities who once hoisted the same trophies. Expect more pointed takes, not lasting grudges.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Odds of Green and Durant publicly sparring again this season: 45%.
