Draymond Green Engages in Intense Conversations With Reporters During Media Day

Green


It’s day one and Draymond Green is already in attack mode, after taking aim at San Francisco Chronicle reporter Scott Ostler at the Warriors’ Media Day.

Ostler somewhat poked the bear when he said that “people” including his fans and “maybe his teammates” were worried about Green, but Draymond stopped him before he could even finish his question.

Ostler was seemingly trying to refer to people being worried about Green’s availability this season after lengthy suspensions last seasons.

But Green thought he meant people were worried about him in general, which led to a tense back and forth between the two.

“Why are they worried about me? I’m a successful Black man in America doing incredibly well,” Green said in the video, via 95.7 The Game. “What’s to worry about me?”

Ostler further implied. “They worry about you.”

To which Green replied, “There are way more people in this world to worry about than me. That’s for sure.”

Ostler responded, “But we’re here now.”

Green fired back, “We’re all here. I don’t think you should worry about me. I’m doing pretty well. If you would have told me when I was 13 years old in Saginaw, Michigan without a pot to piss in, that you would be sitting here and somebody would say that they are worried about me. I probably would have told them they were out of their mind. I’d be sitting here and they would be worried about me.”

Despite Ostler’s repeated attempts to explain, the Warriors star forward wasn’t having it.

Draymond was very clear in saying that he’s always available to his teammates.

“It’s all about how you spin it,” Green said, as the spat came to an end, attempting to lighten the mood. “I love how you’re trying to spin it — but it ain’t my spin to it, player.”
