Rich Kleiman, friend and business manager of Kevin Durant, said the latter did not leave the Golden State Warriors because of the constant media attention.
Kleiman told Warriors president Bob Myers that neither the feud with Draymond Green nor the media were the reasons for Durant’s departure.
“When I hear the media broke up the Warriors — that’s so ignorant. It’s giving them way too much power. Or that Draymond (Green) and Kevin getting into it in a game — it’s ignorant. Anybody who wrote that clearly hasn’t played competitive sports at any level,” Kleiman said, via Drew Shiller of NBC Sports.
