Draymond Green and his new teammate Chris Paul have repeatedly clashed on the hardwood during their many battles over the last 11 years. During an appearance on The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone, Green addressed how he and the heated rival will get along now that Paul will suit up for the Warriors.
“I’ve publicly said I didn’t like Chris before,” Green said. “I’m just not gonna be like, ‘Oh man, that changed now that he’s my teammate.’ No! I look forward to talking amongst men. I look forward to working with another dog.”
Green added that he always respected Paul’s “tenacity” and said he and coach Steve Kerr have discussed what the point guard brings to the team. In that conversation, Green said the two agreed they hated playing against Paul because of his willingness and desperation to win.
