The Golden State Warriors hit the ground running. They got their rings and didnāt 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 teamās 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 doesnāt care about what people think about him.
NBA News: Draymond Green Claims He Doesnāt Care About The Peopleās Opinion
āI woke up to the video. Once I woke up to the video, I donāt know if the dynamic really changes from that because you never know peopleās opinion right away,ā Green said. āYou give people some time to allow people to throw their opinion out. Quite frankly, I donāt care about peopleās opinion. I never really knew how much it blew up. I donāt spend much time searching Instagram or looking through commentsā¦ I was just at home chillin with my children.ā
āThe world has been able to see one of your worst moments. Look at all the upside you have now. Itās totally different way of looking at itā¦ I can live with that,ā the four-time NBA champion added.
Poole Says Theyāve Talked And Wonāt Address The Subject Anymore
Poole also claimed that theyāre both ready to move on from that incident. And, while he didnāt sound like it was all good between him and his veteran, the Dubsā chemistry was evident on the court:
āHe apologized and we plan on handling ourselves that way,ā the 23-year-old combo guard told the media. āThatās really all I have to say regarding the matter. Weāre here to win a championship and keep hanging banners.ā
The reigning champions certainly donāt need these sorts of distractions, so itās nice to see that they were able to bury the hatchet and just get the job done, even if theyāre never back on good terms off the court.
