Overview
- Austin Rivers, responding Tuesday in a three-minute video, called Draymond Green the luckiest player he has seen and said Steve Kerr made Green’s career.
- Green had answered earlier on his podcast with personal shots, citing Rivers’ high school stats, calling his Clippers deal the “biggest bailout,” and tying it to his father Doc Rivers.
- The exchange began when Rivers told The Dan Patrick Show that Green’s claim was ridiculous and said Green was never a scorer.
- Green’s original gripe was that Kerr hindered his offensive growth and that since 2016 the Warriors have not run plays for him, even as he also praised Kerr and said he did not hold it against him.
- The back-and-forth lands as Golden State exits a 39-43 season and waits on Kerr’s decision about coaching next year, turning a coaching debate into a broader question about the Warriors’ direction.
