Overview
- Green, appearing on national TV Wednesday, said his remarks about Kerr were clipped out of context, stood by the claim that Kerr limited his offense, and said he has zero regrets about his career.
- In a recent podcast monologue, Green said Kerr has not run a play for him since 2017 and argued the Warriors’ scheme pushed him toward defense and playmaking instead of scoring.
- Rivers, asked on The Dan Patrick Show, called that stance ridiculous and said Green was never a scorer, crediting Kerr with letting Green be the team’s emotional leader.
- Green fired back on his podcast with personal shots, accusing Rivers of benefiting from his father Doc Rivers in a $42 million Clippers deal and mocking Rivers’ career arc.
- Rivers responded in a video calling Green the luckiest player he has seen and saying “Steve Kerr made your career,” as outlets noted their near-identical career scoring averages fueled the reactions.
