Draymond Green Defends His Support of LeBron James

Draymond does not believe his LeBron support affects Steph Curry

It is well-known at this point that Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is a massive LeBron James fan. The two players used to have a pretty intense on-court rivalry, but that has transitioned into a strong friendship over the last few years, as Green consistently supports James in the media. 

Often using his own podcast platform to defend LeBron, Green receives some criticism for his LeBron praise. Addressing this on a recent episode of his podcast, Green specifically responded to the idea that his support of LeBron James is disrespectful to Steph Curry.

"I catch a lot of flak for the way I ride for Bron," Green said. "People will be like, 'Oh, you said this about LeBron, that's disrespectful to Steph.' Actually, the love I have for Steph, and how I ride for Steph - Steph knows how I ride for Steph... Me giving credit to LeBron or supporting LeBron or f--king being happy for Bron, that doesn’t dim Steph’s light. I always tell people that's your losing a-- mentality."

According to Green, his support of Steph Curry is some thing that Curry is aware of, and any conversation about LeBron is irrelevant to that overall dynamic. While some feel a certain type of way about Green's support of LeBron James, it is not something that seems to be slowing down anytime soon.
