The Golden State Warriors hit the ground running. They got their rings and didnât have much trouble beating the Los Angeles Lakers, with an inspired Stephen Curry once again leading the way.
However, as happy as everybody seemed within the organization, there wasstill a big elephant in the room. Jordan Poole got his payday shortly after his altercation with Draymond Green, and that could take a toll on the teamâs chemistry.
Green failed his team and his teammates by sucker-punching the up-and-coming star, and his reputation took a big hit. However, he claims he just doesnât care about what people think about him.
NBA News: Draymond Green Claims He Doesnât Care About The Peopleâs Opinion
âI woke up to the video. Once I woke up to the video, I donât know if the dynamic really changes from that because you never know peopleâs opinion right away,â Green said. âYou give people some time to allow people to throw their opinion out. Quite frankly, I donât care about peopleâs opinion. I never really knew how much it blew up. I donât spend much time searching Instagram or looking through comments⊠I was just at home chillin with my children.â
âThe world has been able to see one of your worst moments. Look at all the upside you have now. Itâs totally different way of looking at it⊠I can live with that,â the four-time NBA champion added.
Poole Says Theyâve Talked And Wonât Address The Subject Anymore
Poole also claimed that theyâre both ready to move on from that incident. And, while he didnât sound like it was all good between him and his veteran, the Dubsâ chemistry was evident on the court:
âHe apologized and we plan on handling ourselves that way,â the 23-year-old combo guard told the media. âThatâs really all I have to say regarding the matter. Weâre here to win a championship and keep hanging banners.â
The reigning champions certainly donât need these sorts of distractions, so itâs nice to see that they were able to bury the hatchet and just get the job done, even if theyâre never back on good terms off the court.
