During his recent appearance on the Pat Bev Podcast, Draymond Green provided insight to his infamous punch of Jordan Poole. Despite Poole no longer being a member of the Golden State Warriors, the punch remains a flash point in the narrative around the Warriors.
But Green used his time speaking with Pat Bev to clear things up. "I don't just hit people," Green said. "Dialogue happens over time and you usually ain't triggered by something that fast… We know stuff you don't say amongst men. We know things that you have to stand on."
Prior to Poole being traded away, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr noted that the altercation between Green and Poole undermined the trust within the locker room. “We have to get back to what made us successful, which is a trusting environment.”
