Warriors’ Draymond Green Had Surprising Response to Stephen A. Smith’s Comments on Steph Curry

Draymond Green admitted comments made by ESPN First Take personality Stephen A. Smith questioning the leadership of Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry made him angry. 

But Green’s response to those comments was motivated by far more than anger. Instead, it was a passionate defense of Curry and how he felt “crushed” by hearing that, which he detailed on the latest episode of The Draymond Green Show.

“Stephen A. was like, ‘Steph [Curry] is a bad leader because Draymond did X.’ And it pissed me off, but it crushed me,” Green said. “This guy doesn’t give us anything to tear him down about. This guy does everything the right way, and yet he’s being torn down because of my actions? It crushed me.”
