It goes without saying that Steph Curry and Draymond Green have shared a lot of experiences. putting themselves on display. revitalising the Golden State Warriors. earning recognition. Constructing All-Star Games concurrently. Acquiring the title of victor. Then another, and still another. Then another, and still another. Then another, and still another.

Green, Curry, and Klay Thompson are the three players in the NBA with the highest combined pay from a single team. As a result, the connections are solid.

It was therefore not surprising that Curry wanted to talk about Green’s most recent chapter in his career, which involved hitting Jusuf Nurkić in the face, being sent off for the third time this season, getting suspended indefinitely, and announcing that he would be seeking counselling and that he must grow and adapt.

On Thursday, Curry was asked about his enduring teammate. Steph didn’t think twice to say that she agreed with Green’s prior year’s actions, which included choking Rudy Gobert and striking then-teammate Jordan Poole. But as one might expect, he stood by his colleague because he believed that Green might grow, change, and come back a better guy.

In response to a question concerning Green’s expected personal growth, Curry said, “I’m really confident in his ability to do that.” “And the main topic of discussion yesterday was his admission that he cannot accomplish the job he has been doing. That is something he knows. That is something we know. That is known to all. In my opinion, identifying what it means to change is the first step in finding the answer. It appears that’s the direction we’re going in. I think that either more time has gone since the last ban or the circumstances have obviously changed. You must take a backseat and make sure that everyone is handled equally. No matter how long it takes, I have confidence that Draymond will conquer his own mountains.

As I said on Thursday, the benefit of an extended suspension is that Green and the Warriors can focus on his rehabilitation instead of having to serve out a short term and then pick up where they left off. Everyone seems to be in agreement that Green needs to eventually grow up and undergo a behavioural change. And it seems like everyone is in favour of that, even the Warriors’ rivals.
