Steph Curry Breaks Down Relationship With Draymond & Klay

by

Steph Curry has helped change the culture of Golden State Warriors basketball. Curry has helped bring 4 NBA championships to the Bay Area, with hopes of more. However, the lethal 3-point shooter understands he didn’t do all of this alone. Draymond Green and Klay Thompson have been key factors in helping Curry bring those titles to Golden State. The trio has been together every step of the way. A fact that Curry doesn’t forget. In a recent interview with ESPN‘s Malika Andrews, Curry discussed what his two teammates mean to him.

“There’s a reason that we’re all still wearing that Warrior uniform… I know we have a lot of memories amongst three, but how many can we keep creating each and every year?” The team has been through it all. From injuries to even losing in the Finals back in 2016. However, this trio has battled a lot of adversity. Yet, they’re still standing strong. But for Curry, he knows this won’t last forever. Which is why the team has to take every opportunity they are given and run with it.

Steph Curry Wants To Keep Making Magic In Golden State

It’s very rare in today’s sports world to see a team created organically. Although the Warriors did add Kevin Durant for three special seasons. However, Curry, Green, and Thompson were all drafted by the Warriors. The team organically became a top threat far before Durant arrived. Now, after his exit, the franchise is continuing to win. This is a testament to the three men who helped continue the legacy of Warriors basketball.

The Warriors are undoubtedly the best team of the 2010s. However, the franchise is still making a statement in the 2020s. Steph Curry is still hoping there’s a little magic left for his time in Golden State. The Warriors will continue their quest for back-to-back titles on Monday night. However, the Kings will be looking to go up 2-0 on the defending champs. Game one was an exciting matchup from beginning to end. Expect each game in this series to be that way.

Skip Bayless Responds To Draymond Green’s Warning

by

Undisputed hosts Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe have been deep in the NBA Playoff discussion. On Wednesday’s edition of the show, the pair discussed the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors will meet the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the playoffs. The Kings have been on a hot streak this season. Earning the third seed in the Western Conference. It seems as if the Warriors are ready for the big matchup. Earlier this week, Draymond Green put the league on notice. However, Bayless isn’t so sure about the warning.

The Warriors will be the sixth seed in their first-round matchup. However, being defending champions, fans believe the team can make a run. But that doesn’t mean that the Kings are the three seed by accident. Which was the point Bayless was trying to make in his take. “You can’t lose 30 road games and flip that switch. They’re the 17th-worse defense against the 1st-best offense.” It hasn’t been the fairy tale season for the defending champions. Including their drop in defensive efficiency that Bayless mentioned. However, counting them out entirely would seem foolish.

Skip Bayless Believes The Warriors Have A Tough Test

There’s been a lot of talk about the lower seeds in the Western Conference. With the Lakers and Warriors being the headline of a lot of those discussions. However, don’t fall in love with the lower seeds. As Bayless mentioned, there’s a reason teams like the Warriors are at the bottom. While teams like the Kings are at the top of the conference. The Kings have been one of the more exciting teams in the entire NBA. That’s what happens when a team is the most efficient offensive squad in the league.

Skip Bayless believes that Green may want to put a pause on his warning to the league. But it’s hard to tell a four-time champion to slow his expectations. It has been a difficult year for the Warriors. However, there is a reason people still believe in them to make a run. Any team that is the home of Steph Curry has a shooter’s chance at victory. Do you believe the Warriors are a viable threat to the NBA Championship? Let’s see your NBA Finals predictions in the comment section.

Draymond Green’s Warning To The NBA

by

Draymond Green is locking in for the 2023 NBA Playoffs. The Golden State Warriors star has a simple message for the rest of the league. “Don’t let us win another f****** championship.” Green is highly confident in his Warriors grabbing their fifth title during his tenure. Undoubtedly the Warriors have been the greatest NBA franchise of the last decade. Another championship this season will cement the franchise among the likes of the 90’s Chicago Bulls. A comparison that could be made already.

Obviously, the Warriors have what it takes to win the championship. They’re already the reigning champions of the league. The Warriors took down the Celtics last season behind a vintage Steph Curry playoff series. However, the Warriors have had to deal with the injury bug this season. It seems everyone, from Curry to probably the water boy, had to deal with some kind of injury this season. But that doesn’t mean the Warriors should be counted out. The team is built by shooting, and a hot streak could lead them right to the promised land.

Draymond Green Is Ready For A Warriors Repeat

However, standing in the Warriors way first would be the Sacramento Kings. The Kings have been one of the hottest teams this season. Including comparisons to great Warriors’ offenses of the past. But as the old saying goes, to be the man, you gotta beat the man. If the Kings are able to defeat the defending champions in round one, it will go a long way toward their confidence. But don’t count on Green and company to fall so easily.

Draymond Green is ready, as is the rest of the NBA world. The Warriors-Kings storyline is just one of the many great first-round matchups. But before we get there Tuesday night belongs to the play-in tournament. One team from each conference will be sent home. While the seventh side on both sides will be decided. Luckily for the Warriors, they avoided the play-in by earning the sixth seed in the West. However, be careful what you wish for.

Shannon Sharpe Reveals Feelings On Draymond-Gobert Drama

by

Shannon and Sharpe, and Skip Bayless discussed the Rudy Gobert incident. On Monday’s edition of Undisputed, the two discussed Gobert’s incident on Sunday. During the Timberwolves regular-season finale, Gobert threw a punch at teammate Kyle Anderson. The situation soon caught the attention of everyone in the NBA social media world. Including Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green. Once upon a time, Green was called out on Twitter by Gobert for an on-the-court incident with a teammate.

Now it seems as if Green is reciprocating the same treatment Gobert gave him. Green posted the same tweet that Gobert sent out in regard to his situation. “Insecurity is always loud…” A short message that carried a lot of weight. Gobert has been rumored to be a tough teammate to co-exist with. His pairing in Utah with Donovan Mitchell ended with both men going their separate ways. Now it seems Gobert is frustrated with some of his current teammates.

Shannon Sharpe Supports Draymond’s Actions

It feels like a rare moment when Bayless and Sharpe are on the same side of the fence. Both media legends feel Green had every right to retaliate against Gobert through social media. Bayless mentioned that Gobert had no right to stick himself in Green’s situation. Now it just looks like Green is giving it all back to Gobert. However, both men will be looking past this beef rather quickly. Because their respective team have both qualified for the playoffs. Sharpe is no stranger to finding himself in the middle of a beef. Including beef involving NBA superstars.

Shannon Sharpe knows exactly what talking trash and backing it up is. Sharpe is an NFL Hall-of-Famer whose play on the field certainly backed up his talk. Green can be put in that same category. Love him or hate him, Green has seen a lot of success in his time in the league. But Gobert, on the other hand, looks to be in a different mindset currently. Do you think Draymond’s comments were fair? Sound off with your thoughts in the comment section. For the latest news involving the NBA, keep it right here at HNHH.

Draymond Green Claps Back At Rudy Gobert

by

The final day of the 2022-23 NBA regular season saw numerous viral moments play out. LeBron crowned himself as he secured a Lakers win while the loaded Mavs missed the playoffs entirely. However, the Timberwolves-Pelcians game produced not one, but two viral moments. While Jaden McDaniels punching a wall raised eyebrows, few moments were as talked about as the brawl that broke out on the Timberwolves’ bench.

During a second-quarter time in their regular-season finale against the Pelicans, Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was seen physically lashing out at teammate Kyle Anderson. According to a team spokesperson, the confrontation came about due to comments Anderson made about Gobert’s performance. Team officials immediately removed Gobert from the game and reportedly went as far as to send him home. The story quickly went viral on social media, with one NBA in particular having some choice words for Gobert.

Draymond Green Has Perfect Response For Gobert

Draymond Green, who put up nine points in the Warriors’ Play-In clinching win over the Trail Blazers, fired off a four-word tweet on Sunday evening. “Insecurity is always loud…” the tweet read, quickly garnering over 61,000 likes. A cryptic tweet on the surface, the message was a devastating shot at Gobert. In October 2022, TMZ released a video of Green fighting with teammate Jordan Poole at a Warriors practice. Seemingly in response to the video, Gobert tweeted “Insecurity is always loud…”. Green’s Sunday-night tweet appears to be a direct response to Gobert’s comment on a similar incident.

It is unclear where the story goes from here. Despite tweeting an apology for his behavior, Gobert has been listed as doubtful for the Timberwolves’ Play-In game against the Lakers on Monday night. If the Timberwolves sideline Gobert, it would be another significant blow to their playoff chances. The team also lost forward Jaden McDaniels’ in Sunday’s game, and Naz Daniels, the team’s backup center, is already out due to injury. It remains to be seen if Gobert has done enough to face the Lakers. However, Draymond Green is eager to see the center held accountable in the court of public opinion.

by

Draymond Green has taken some heat online recently in regard to his support of LeBron James. Many believe that Green’s praise of LeBron is just the Warriors star wanting to team up with James. Green has stated over and over that statement couldn’t be further from the truth.

Me being f—g happy for Bron, that doesn’t dim Steph’s light… I always tell people that’s your losing a— mentality… I always compare it to slavery where they wanna turn us against each other.” Green has a strong belief that fans want to turn the athletes against one another. As LeBron has long been rivals with the Warriors due to the two playing in numerous NBA Finals.

Draymond Green Compares Hate For LeBron Relationship To Slavery

Even if the two may be adversaries on the court, it seems they are friends in their personal lives. Long gone are the days of Michael Jordan not speaking to his rivals off the court. Needless to say, the stars of today understand this is their job. Yes, they take it seriously. However, the majority of the athletes know there’s more to life than basketball. Green lets James have it when the two share the court. The duo has been known to even get a little heated with one another.

Draymond Green’s comments are bold. Which one would assume is the point Green is trying to make. However, don’t get lost in some of the words used by Green.

Steph Curry Talks Future Of The Warriors Roster

by

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors are the definition of a dynasty. The Warriors have kept their core three members for each championship run. Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green will always be known as Warriors. However, nothing is for certain when it comes to Green’s future with the team. Green and team GM Bob Myers will be free agents this summer. Myers is responsible for helping build the dynasty in Golden State. Both Green and Myers are key members of the Warriors dynasty. Curry recently spoke about how important it would be to retain both this summer.

During Curry’s recent interview with 95.7 The Game’s Steiny & Guru, the Warriors guard believes the formula is still successful. “Obviously, we understand how important Bob is, we understand how important Coach is, our core, Draymond, Klay, myself, Andre, even though he’s had a rough year with injuries and whatnot, he’s been extremely valuable behind the scenes in helping maintain our culture.” Curry isn’t wrong, as the team is fresh off of an NBA Championship run in 2022.

Draymond Green Slams NBA For New CBA: “Players Lose Again”

by

Draymond Green isn’t happy with the new collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the NBPA. In a series of tweets posted on Saturday afternoon, the Golden State Warriors star tore into the new deal. The issue Green began with was a change in the salary cap that will hinder high-paying teams’ ability to bring in more talent. Other changes included in the CBA are a new 65-game minimum to qualify for awards and marijuana being removed from the banned substances list.

“The NBA is curbing the ability of the highest-spending teams, such as the Golden State Warriors and the LA Clippers, to continue running up salary and luxury tax spending while still maintaining mechanisms to add talent to the roster,” Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN explained. “The NBA is implementing a second salary cap apron — $17.5 million over the tax line — and those teams will no longer have access to the taxpayer mid-level in free agency. Those changes will be eased into the salary cap over a period of years.”

Draymond Green Arguing A Call

In response to the report, Green wrote on Twitter: “Players lose again…. Smh! Middle and Lower spectrum teams don’t spend because they don’t want to. They want to lose. So increase their spending capabilities, just to increase them. They continue to cut out the middle. And this is what we rushed into a deal for? Smdh! Never fails.”

In more posts, he responded to the new in-season tournament expected to start next season. Players will be paid $500,000 for the championship game. “What happened to the 1mm they said when this idea was first introduced?!?!” Green wrote. “Sheesh we lost 500k there too!” When a fan implied he’s greedy for being unhappy, Green fired back, “You mean the people who generate billions to make millions? Yeah those people!” In other posts, he complained more broadly about the agreement.

Bill Simmons Calls Out Twitter Account For Misinformation

by

Bill Simmons has built an empire in the sports media industry. The founder of The Ringer has created one of the go-to places to listen to podcasts on the NBA. Sometimes others will try to snag a line from a Simmons podcast and run with a headline. Today was not the day to attempt that on Bill Simmons. One NBA news account on Twitter is being called out by the man himself. It seems as if Simmons has had enough of the misinformation that spreads on the platform.

NBA Central has grown large following a short time on Twitter. A page that is dedicated to sharing news and stories from the NBA, NBACentral has earned followers from big names in the industry. However, Simmons’ claim that the page is spreading false information may be a simple misunderstanding. Simmons quote tweeted the NBA Central post of his comments from his show. While on the surface it could be a misunderstanding, Simmons let everyone know his true feelings on the NBA Central page.

Simmons Tweets His Displeasure With NBA Central

Simmons claims he never mentioned the word “plotting” in his show, and he may not have even been accused of saying it. However, his reaction to the NBA Central tweet was an A+ comedy spot. At this point, the tweet may not deserve to be dunked on like it was. Yes, the tweet does state the word plotting. However, Simmons’ actual quote from his show is below the first statement. It seems as if NBA Central wasn’t trying to say that the word “plotting” was mentioned at all.

Whatever the case may be, it seems the damage is done. It also seems like Simmons had harsh feelings for NBA Central far before his tweet today. At last, whose side are you on? Is Simmons in the right for his cram slam on NBACentral? Or was NBACentral creating a headline to pull you into the quote? Let us know your answer and the reason behind it in the comment section below. To follow more NBA Twitter drama, stay up to date with HNHH. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Draymond Green Rips Fans For Creating Andrew Wiggins Rumors

by

Despite what some might think of him, there is no doubt that Draymond Green is a leader for the Golden State Warriors. Overall, he has won four titles with the team and he has numerous accolades. That said, when something happens to one of his teammates, he has the clout to speak up about it. Subsequently, this aforementioned clout has come in handy as Andrew Wiggins is going through a rough situation. It has been said that he will likely be out for the rest of the season with a personal matter. Although his privacy should be respected, fans have still crafted their own theories about his absence.

As we reported earlier this week, Wiggins’ girlfriend had to respond to these rumors. This is because the theories involved her directly. Essentially, people have been saying that Wiggins was cheated on. Furthermore, his girlfriend allegedly cheated with his best friend. To make matters worse, it is also rumored that Wiggins’ child actually belongs to his best friend. Overall, it is a pretty wild rumor that many are saying has absolutely no basis in reality.

Draymond Green Speaks Out

On a recent episode of his podcast, Draymond Green spoke out about the rumors. After watching this all play out on social media, Green was feeling sick to his stomach. This subsequently prompted a podcast segment in which he went off on fans for creating narratives. As you can see, Green was quite passionate about the topic. “Sometimes people disgust me,” Green said. “You don’t know what someone is dealing with, and then you make them deal with THAT?… Stop it, it’s disgusting.”

Green is certainly correct in his analysis here. Sports fans tend to take things way too far. They will see one thing on Reddit and then run with it for all of eternity. However, there is no consideration for the subject of these rumors and how they may be feeling internally. Ultimately, this trend probably won’t be dying out anytime soon. Although, we hope that we are proven wrong on this, as the social media sphere is definitely getting out of hand. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.
