The former teammates, who played together on the Warriors, recently engaged
in a back-and-forth after Draymond Green seemingly dissed Kevin Durant’s
take on scoring being more important to win championships.

In a recent interview with The Athletic, Green addressed folks who believe
that defense does not play a role in winning championships.

Draymond: “Those who don’t believe defense is as valuable as it is simply
just don’t win. I don’t think anyone’s ever really been hell-bent on
caring about the opinion of those that don’t win, because your opinion
equals zero.”

Reporter: “So I hear you, but Kevin has won.”

Draymond: “He won here, (and) the defense here was…”

Reporter: “It was incredible.”

Draymond: “Absolutely.”

Durant saw this exchange on social media and coldly pointed to facts that
showed offense was the bigger focal point when the Warriors had their
back-to-back championships.

“And the offense was????” wrote a puzzled Durant on X. The Warriors’
 offense was first in the league while their defense wasn’t even top-10 in
the league during the 2017 and 2018 championship runs. In fact, neither the
Cavaliers nor the Warriors were a top-10 defensive team in the league in
those years.

In essence, there seems to have been a misunderstanding of words somewhere.
Durant never said offense was the only important thing in winning
championships. However, Green seems to have understood that he felt defense
has no role in winning a championship.







Green：「那些不認同防守價值的人，根本無法贏得比賽。我想從來沒有人會去在乎那些

從來沒贏過的人的意見，因為你的意見等於零。」

記者：「我明白你的意思，但Durant確實拿過冠軍。」

Green：「他的冠軍是在這裡（勇士隊）贏的，而這裡的防守可是……」

記者：「相當出色。」

Green：「毫無疑問。」


Durant透過社群媒體X看到這段對話後，冷靜列舉事實反駁，指出勇士隊完成兩連冠時，

球隊的重心其實更傾向進攻。

Durant在X上困惑地寫道：「那當時的進攻表現又怎麼說？」



實質上，這場爭議似乎源於雙方對話中的語義誤解。Durant從未主張「進攻是奪冠的唯一

」，但Green卻將其理解為「Durant認為防守對奪冠毫無作用」。


“They understand what I’m saying, but people purposely take my words outta
context, you know mfers just wanna dunk on me lol,” wrote Durant on X while
acknowledging that this is a misunderstanding, clearly.

“They take offense to everything I say. How ironic,” he further added. “I
can feel the jealousy and insecurity through your burner account,” said the
Rockets’ superstar when a fan criticized him for saying offense is more
important than defense.

If you assign weightage to both things, Durant may have said offense is 70%
important, implying defense is still 30% needed to get the win, or even a
60-40 split. But Green seems to believe that Durant thinks defense has no
contribution in winning championships (i.e 0% value), which is far from the
truth.

Eddie Gonzalez, a close friend of Durant’s, believes that Draymond Green
only reacted due to his second nature of needing to respond when being baited
by reporters, calling out his desire to replace Charles Barkley in the media.
Durant has, on multiple occasions, acknowledged that defense is important as
well, giving flowers to Draymond Green for his contributions, but offense is
just more important in his opinion.


Durant在X上明確點出這場誤會，他寫：「他們其實懂我想表達的意思，但總有人故意斷

章取義。要知道這些人就是想找機會噴我罷了，哈哈。」

他補充：「我說的每句話都會被他們挑毛病，太諷刺了。」







Charles Barkley的地位。事實上，Durant曾多次認可防守的重要性，也大力讚賞過Green

在防守端的貢獻，他僅是認為「進攻在奪冠中占據更重要的地位」。
