Draymond Green opened about the letter he received from the head coach of the Golden State Warriors Steve Kerr in 2017.
Green and Kerr nearly got into a physical altercation at halftime of the Warriors’ game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on February 27, 2016. The All-Star forward of Golden State revealed he received a four-page letter from Kerr, following the incident.
“I was at a point where I’m like, ‘If he say one more thing to do me I’m about to f–king lose it on him.’ He didn’t say nothing. I was dying for him to say to say something so I could f–king go crazy. He wrote me a four-page letter.
To this day, I can’t tell you what the letter says. I read the first f–king line and it said, ‘Draymond — I wanted to write you this letter. I know things are rough right now and we’re kind of bumping heads right now and we’re at a standstill. You’re frustrated and it’s starting to boil over.’
I closed the letter up and threw it away. I say, ‘Yo, he know me! He got me figured out … I don’t need to see anything else.’ We were in Philly — I’ll never forget. I had literally talked to coach Izzo on the phone.
I’m like, ‘Coach, I’m about to f–king lose it. I’m f–king sick of Steve.’ After I talked to coach Izzo — I had the letter for a few days, I didn’t open it — I opened the letter, I read the first line and just threw it away. I can’t tell you what the rest of it said.
But it was just cool because I’m like, ‘Damn, he figured it out.’ He didn’t say a word. F–king chess move, bro. I can’t argue with a letter … it was f–king great,” Green told Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson during his appearance on the All The Smoke podcast, via Drew Shiller of NBC Sports.
