Kevin Durant shuts down Draymond Green's take on Steph Curry's legacy | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST

- Draymond Green shared some thoughts with Colin Cowherd on the narrative that Stephen Curry needed a Finals MVP award to validate his legacy. Green pointed out that even while Kevin Durant was on the roster, Steph was facing double teams more often than KD was, and a Finals MVP isn't going to change the impact he's had on the game. KD took to social media to say Draymond's take was 100% false, and the two had a brief back and forth on this topic. Nick Wright and Chris Broussard are joined by Antoine Walker, and they decide whether or not there was any truth to Green's take, or if KD was right to disagree.

Is this a shot at The Herd...if so. I like it.
Check the stats. Steph was double teamed over 80 times more than KD over the 2 series
Somebody tell Antoine he needs to do research cuz he was so wrong here it was ridiculous even to the point of naming players that weren’t even on the Warriors team lmao
I found the actual stats. Draymond was actually under exaggerating. In the 2017 finals steph curry was double teamed 41 times. Kevin durant 0 in the entire series. In 2018 steph curry 43 kevin durant 2. So its actually way more then 7x lmao

I'm not even a Steph fan. There's an actual statistic in which the amount of double teams against both players were counted. Steph Curry was double teamed around 40 times compared to KD being doubled less than 10 times. This isn't something you have to guess about, the stat is out there. Steph is so dangerous from beyond the arc that Ty Lue didn't even want Steph to hold the ball for long. I do believe KD is the better scorer, but Steph's lethal shooting ability leaves defenses scared
It’s fake. It’s been passed around Twitter like crazy but nobody can post a link just the picture that can easily be photoshopped
@@DoubleR650 I would hope so. Otherwise KD looks bad. The statement by ty Lue isn't tho

It's funny how everyone keep protecting KD, just admit Steph was doubled more, and it's OK, KD was respected. Kd just wants more credit. It's hard when you play beside 2 top 5 shooters ever!
Top 5? Steph and Klay are the 2 greatest shooters in NBA history.
@@earlthepearl6414 Ray allen didnt get to play in this era but hes more clutch as a 3 pt shooter than atleast klay
@@earlthepearl6414 the fact that Steph may have been doubled more does not necessarily translate to him being the better player or the more dangerous player than Durant. Steph Steph open the floor up and so teams double-team him to keep him more contained where they could go down low and keep the blocks closed up that doesn't mean he was better than Durant... that's why Durant had a problem with that quote by Green because people here that Steph was double team more and they think it means it's the same as saying that Steph was better.
So okc never happened and kd did nothing before then lol
@@ThomasFromTN bro these guys don’t ever talk strategy with any depth it’s all narratives
We just saw what happens when KD is targeted in the same way that Steph is targeted, his team got swept out of the 1st round of the playoffs and while still being targeted Steph is in the Finals. KD is a great individual player who, to his detriment, doesn't quite get the concept of team.
Well we'll just have to see how Steph does against the same defence. Steph's had his disappointing moments too...
So what happened to Steph last year when he had to carry a team by himself without All-Stars literally surrounding him at every position?
Oh right he got bounced in the play-in tournament.
@@gwarfanatik won the scoring title while playing with scrubs while kd have kyrie still got bounced out
@@XpertOrigin SO because he had Kyrie who barely played all season he was supposed to beat a team that's in the finals?

Draymond told KD that they won without him and he hasn't recovered since
The Warriors winning the title will trigger KD big time
So why did they want him on the team why did they lose the year before stop it
@@franchizetheartist they had injuries and a suspension
@@franchizetheartist why not add a kd to your team? How you sound family
@@nkalabikankhoma493 So You think they flew to go beg KD to join them because of a suspension and injury? I guess that suspension and injury was for years. And why did they lose to Toronto again? And don’t give me Klay cause they would have won if KD had came back
Facts are facts, Steph was doubled far more than KD, and Ty even said this
Anyone who’s played basketball understands why a guard would get doubled more often than a wing/forward that rarely initiated the offense. Anyone with half a brain knows kd is a much better player than Steph.
@@Joes35 apparently Ty Lue and actual NBA professional coaches would disagree with you. That's why Steph has always been the main focal point when playing against the Warriors.
@@Joes35 Kyrie didn't get more doubled than Kd in a series where that so called slim reaper got swept and he got schooled by Tatum. Gtfoh with that amateur level of basketball knowledge. 🤣🤣😭
@@Joes35 Only in terms of one on one that kd is the better player,, meanwhile basketball is a team concept game. And in that regard, Kd's impact is no greater than Steph. That's why he rarely even go to the finals without him on his side. He needs to go to someone's team where all that's needed from him is only scoring to win another title. Dude simply not a leader. Either goes to Lebron's, Giannis's, Curry's, Embiid's, Luka's, or Jokic's. That's the only way he can dream of getting another one. Where all he needs to do is scoring.
Blitzing isn’t doubling but ok
are we being serious. why have i seen more of this warriors/kd feud then the actual celtics/warriors matchup?
Celtics sucks… btw celtics in 6 🤣🤣🤣
Because the series hasn't started yet. You know they have filler topics lol
Yea there’s really nothing to talk about until the finals start they do this every year bro
Than*
this is y nba losing $
I think we need to understand the point Draymond was trying to make. The point was based on the Strategy perspective and how it wasn't that Steph, just couldn't get anything going. His first point was they knew teams would target Steph to double team him and or attack hi m on the pick and roll or pick and pops thus leaving others available for the shout especially KD. He also stated that Steph, this thing was feeding KD so they could win. Steph, believed KKD's greatness.
Draymound, was explaining this all the negative points people were making about Steph not scoring as much while KD was there. Draymond, stated the point and they way they scored was unselfish basketball strategy and not this Controversy People who don't understand basketball are trying portray. They all needed each other to win. THAT IS THE REAL TRUTH!!!!!
Stop protecting KDs “delicate” ego….it’s getting ludicrous.
Shouldn’t have to protect it if idiots didn’t try to lie and say he wasn’t the best player on the Warriors. He would have no reason to feel the need to be sensitive
@@1anth Those 3 years they played together the warriors had a better record with steph and without kd than they had with kd and without steph. Not to mention all these points about gameplans etc. There's a very legitimate argument for Steph.
KD always in his feelings while Steph golfing and taking care of his kids in free time lmao
LMFAO Nick really makes this show more than a sports show
kevin wildes too
Antoine does NOT like Steph 😂 Man doesnt even have him top 25 and now he says he wasnt double teamed more than KD or Klay even tho Ty Lue said it himself that he was.
That man is so angry it's like he must've betted against warriors in the past and lost so much money lol

Good for him. He has nothing to prove.
I mean..it is their job..
No bull. Steph could care less. He just has fun playin ball and is comfortable with who he is and what hes done
KD was never the game plan for the opposing team, Steph was. I’ve commented this thing more than 100 times. Anyone who knows basketball could see that. Just like Shaq was the game plan in his prime..
Even if your take was true( which isn’t the case) means that they knew they could stop Shaq and Steph if they prepared enough. And the fact that the opponent focused on those two guys and still lost means they didn’t focus on the better players.
Dumb gameplan by Ty lue then tbh. So bad coaching is the opposition’s fault? Crazy
Your saying it as though the opposing coaches were like will live or die with KD beating us because he’s just a roll player. Double teaming Steph over KD just made more sense for the fact that KD was proven to beat double teams. Players who doubles him have to start at the 3 point area. So that’s usually guards and wings. He’s 7 foot so he’s taller than they are. He’s proven to be a well passer in those situations. So if he’s double teamed then one of the two best shooters in NBA history is open. You have no choice but to choose Curry. Better chance for a turn over. Or at least much much harder to pass it to whom ever he wants to like KD would be able to do. Curry is just the only choice coaches had.
@Wesley Yates In all 3 of their playoff runs from 2017-19…. Kd averaged more points than Steph, on better efficiency while playing better defense and grabbing more rebounds.

@Wesley Yates curry was no longer the most dangerous player on the court when Durant arrived as great as a shooter he is. The objective should’ve been made to make Durant pick up his dribble, force him to work in tight quarters and be a facilitator more so than a scorer. The teams that made him do that (Clippers rockets) gave them the most trouble during that run
See the effects when the defenses are on KD?
He got swept 😂😂😂
No excuses my guy. You're only unstoppable when no one is trying to stop you.
Can you tell me Who was Lebron James, the best defender on the floor, guarding in those finals?
Been saying that, he gets all the credit for playing "unstoppable" in the finals while teaming with steph and Co. But you could of put any star player in that role and they would of looked as great as Jordan in the 90s. For perspective, if lebron played in the 90s. Most would consider him the 2nd best behind jordan... imagine lebron losing to Jordan in the playoffs against Jordan's 72 win bulls team and joining them the following year in the 90s. The team would be unbeatable simply. That's equivalent to k.d. (2nd best in the nba) joining a 73 win team because he couldn't beat them. Of course kspd looked unstoppable

Broussard was talking yesterday about needing to be "Accurate" with info like this when you're a media member then comes out and does damage control for KD. The accurate thing to say is that Draymond was underestimating the amount of doubles Steph got. This is a laughable segment.

Ty lue prolly thought in those finals that it's better to be chasing 10pt leads come the 4th quarter rather than 30-35 point leads before halftime. The strategy was to not get Steph going in the first 3 quarters and just live and die with him shooting against solo defenders in the 4th.. the problem was they had KD who ultimately did the closing while at the same time scoring huge amounts in the first three quarters. Everybody played their role in that team, i dont get why anybody has to downplay any of them..
kevin durqueen got carried
I recall teams not being able to double team either because of the other. A blitz is not a double team
How is it that Steph has so many haters? Also so what KD isn't in GS... That's KDs loss. What has KD done since GS? GS trashed BK this year. KD is home Steph and GSW in Finals without KD...
Lmao look tf around. Everyone hates kd not Steph. Steph fans are seriously delusional. The only reason Steph doesn’t have finals mvp is apparently because the media hates him and everyone hates him. You couldn’t be more brain dead if you think any of that. Steph is loved, KD is hated close to lebron level in 2011 when he went to golden state.
This man Antoine said “Barbosa” who last played for the warriors over a year before KD even got there lmfao and averaged 6 when he did play..
Fr & barbosa didn’t take many 3s he was a midrange shooter specialist
he's just trying to make KD's case
If u think KD is/was better than Steph, your lying to yourself. KD with no steph (injured) on the same team/same year, the record was like 55% wins, Steph with no KD (injured), in the same year/same team, the record was like 90% wins. We finally got to do the experiment of what if these players switches teams. We saw it, and Steph was better. KD is just taller, he's not better than steph at anything (but steph is better than him at several things), he's literally just taller.
The system the Warriors play in are catered to Steph’s strengths not KD’s. It was build with Curry being the focal point. That’s why and that’s all. KD was still showing that he was the better player of the two. We did not get the experiment you described. Brooklyn was a dysfunctional team.
@@Mikelara973 the nets have nothing to do with the experiment, both players played for the warriors the same year, without each other on it due to injury. But, what do u think KD is better at Steph than, other then being taller?
Walker audio is terrible please help the audio team...
I would love to see both kd and draymond breakdown film on their takes.

Forget these stats go watch the full games. What do they count as a double? If in a pick and roll the other defenders hedges/switches/blitz does that count as a double?
"...Steph was facing double teams more often than KD was..." Big deal! Good thing he was open, don't cha think? Steph drew the D, and KD dropped the shots - 2 NBA chips; 2 Finals MVP for Kevin "Buckets." Move on and focus on the Celts because they're going to be a handful. I'm giving the edge to the GS due to experience, but in 7
THE most frustrating basketball take I’ve EVER heard is the “Warriors needed KD to beat Lebron!” Takes. I think it’s so disingenuous to imply that, and yet we hear it all the time. People forget EVERYTHING had to go right for the Cavs after game 4 for them to beat the Warriors.
- Steph was playing injured after getting hurt in the playoffs against Houston and rushing back from injury and playing through it.
- Igoudala, the only legitimate perimeter Lebron defender, was dealing with back spasms to where he could barely walk outside of games but tried to play through it.
- THE MOST IMPORTANT SWING FACTOR OF THE SERIES, which almost never gets mentioned, but the defensive anchor and quarterback for the team, their ONLY legitimate rim protector in Andrew Bogut was injured and out for the series in game 4 I believe. He was ALSO an essential offensive piece who they ran offence through due to his passing ability.
- Draymond Green gets suspended for game 5, meaning now with no Bogut and Green you have literally NO ONE who can defend the rim against a team led by Lebron and Kyrie, what do you think is gonna happen?
- Game 6 Curry fouls out with 2/3 complete phantom fouls, right when the Warriors are making a comeback and have the momentum. Ref calls were SO inexplicably shocking I’m not surprised Ayesha called it rigged.
ALL of this had to happen for Lebron and co to come back. Warriors got lucky with Cavs injuries in 2015, and the Cavs got lucky with all these situations in 2016. Honestly would have loved to see these two teams run it back sans Durant because one thing I can guarantee you is that the Cavs aren’t winning all of those finals even if the Warriors didn’t have KD.
Well they went and recruit him so yes they were scared on running it back against Cavs on equal ground
Someone put that Steph was double teamed 62 to KDs 3 and it sounds very accurate
0 finals mvps
So they ran the short guy who is dangerous beyond the arc. It makes sense, you don't send two guys on the 7 footer. Curry is most dangerous at shooting the ball. That's much easier to shut down than a guy who can get his anywhere.
Walker said Barbosa.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Idc if it’s Draymond Green, James Worthy, or JK91419 😂 😂 great take by Nick hilarious!
We really talking about kevin Durant while he at home on Twitter 😭. Gotta love it
i cant wait for the series to start
the warriors have proved numerous times they dont need kd, kd needed warriors, and that hasnt changed as of date..period
now lets talk about the finals
I just wish it wasn’t at Bostons expense. I don’t see the Warriors winning I need JB and JT to get that chip this year
@@omaidolor8929 its gonna be fun i think...i love ur guys coach...celtics needed a guy like him in the locker room...but i dont kno, GS with all that experience is gonna be a little too much
@@ddp5406 True but bro you gotta understand there comes a time where you gotta pass the torch. This Celtics core has been to the finals 3X in the last 5 years. They constructed the team to where defensively they are more then capable to defend from top to bottom. The only way Boston loses is if they beat themselves
@@omaidolor8929 the finals is a much different story than the conference finals...warriors been here many times...this is jt, jb, ms, and i think even their big Vet Hotford is makin his first finals appearance
Ill tell u what, if Boston win..it will be extremely impressive..and jayson tatums resume with a finals mvp will already be all time great
I dont have a horse in the race so i can just enjoy it 💪..good luck bro
@@ddp5406 Lebron really showed off his defensive versatility holding me to 30.3 ppg, 7.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists on 54/45/91 shooting splits in our 3 finals matchups.
I keep hearing that Steph was the best player and the engine of the warriors bur for some reason I averaged more points on better efficiency, more rebounds, and played better defense in all 3 of our playoff runs together. That’s how I got those back to back finals mvps
Turn Nick's mic down a lil bit.
This is the catch 22 to choose to play with a championship team (with 2 of the top 5 shooters of all time) that you almost beat up 3-1. You got the rings KD but you gotta defend your decision for the rest of your life
One thing that gets overlooked by KD’s social media activity is his humility. A lot of celebrities, including some Fox analysts (cough Skip cough) will refuse to “feed the trolls”, thinking they’re somehow above engaging with fans. KD gives respect to the average fan by firing right back rather than believing those fans aren’t worth responding to
Of course. You talking about the man that made term burner account popular. Lol
@@jazzyfour so he seem down to earth and not Hollywood bro will engage with you if you got 8 million. Followers or 8 that's cool he don't consider himself better then Anyone
the thing is, it's "from Kd's view" which is different on what most players see, most fans see, most coaches see.
He even thought chunk of the reason they won 2 rings was because of him.
My gosh with the disrespect to KD. We all saw GSW win in 2015 defeating a one man show team, we all saw GSW CHOKE in 2016… there is absolutely NO WAY you really believe GSW win in 2017 and 2018 without KD. Want proof of that? 2019 GSW CHOKE AGAIN against the raptors lmfao. What did Curry do then? I’ll wait…
He saw it wrong.
Like KD said on twitter when someone asked him about going off on people on twitter and just chill.
KD-Quote
"Bruh I'm on 10 the moment I log on twitter until I log off"
🤣💀 gotta love it.
Why are we guessing if we could just look it up…
But it does affect his game. He got swept in the first round….
I think the Celtics defense had more to do with that than random tweets.
Curry missed the playoffs last year ….
@@shizzleshareef For sure. But we all know he's always online seeing what people are saying. Between the Celtic's defense and everything people was saying. Dude was definitely in his head. No matter how good. No defense should have been able to shut him down completely for an entire series.
KD wouldn’t get a response until he prove he can make it to the finals on his “own team”🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
He already did winning finals mvp in gsw and getting to the finals in 2012
The Blitz happens before the pick n roll, you trap on the pick n roll either way it is a double team on steph resulting in 3 on 2 advantage for the offense where Klay and Duarant was 2 of the 3.
durant reminds me of an iso player like carmelo, obviously durant is better but the way they play is just not hard to predict. steph is constantly moving off ball, which makes his value way higher than a player who is on an island by himself waitign for iso 1 on 1
KD SALTY 😂 CUP CAKE 🎂
All this drama. If KD does not undestand that Green gave him all his props.
Let us be honest Curry was being double teamed. Which team with a guy like KD
would not take advantage? Double Tatum, Brown profits.
Antoine loves kd so much
Wjids is on point!
I love the fact that KD interacts with fans on social media. It shows that he’s human unlike mose celebrities who try and portray themselves as higher beings. Dude just love to hoop and talk back to folks on Twitter 😂
Plenty of time since being swept.
He doesn't talk hoops. He is just defensive because his feelings are always hurt
Steph living rent free in heads , Dray riding him hard and KD hurt lol
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is maybe steph and klay were doubled because double teaming those two shorter players is probably much more effective defensively than trying to double Durant. Durant is more likely to be able to still score or find a teammate simply because he can see over the double and/or even shoot over the double team .
Nick I agree I use to not like KD for no reason now I really pay attention to him bro I love him how Authentic he is bro.💯🏁🏁
Crazy Chris didn’t actually take the time to go look up the stats. Love him but kind of lazy talking to just talk.
Yep Steph was the one they tried to shut down and then everyone else ate
In the 2017 Finals, KD scored 10 more PPG on 10% better FG% and 10% better 3P%. You can say that's because Steph took all the attention away...except the 2017 Finals was easily Steph's best Finals performance. Steph averaged 22.6 PPG, 4.9 RPG and 3.7 APG on 40% shooting in the 2016 Finals. Steph averaged 26.8 PPG, 8.0 RPG and 9.4 APG on 44% in the 2017 Finals. Are we pretending that having KD on the team didn't drastically help Steph's performance? He suddenly had more points, twice as many rebounds, twice as many assists and a better shooting percentage despite being double teamed?
@@wadesnyder9368 No because Steph was better in the 2019 and 2015 finals than the 2018 finals.

Lue said he BLITZED the man. Wth Antonie talking about 🤣
Jordan was sensitive too. That's the point of the "and I took that personally" meme.
Far be it for me to agree with Draymond Green of all people, but hyperbole aside he is right. Steph took on more double teams and Steph took on the team leadership responsibility. We should all understand how leadership responsibility can wear you down mentally and also affect you physically. That's why Steph will get more credit than Durant.
What leadership ? Stop making excuses
I found the actual stats. Draymond was actually under exaggerating. In the 2017 finals steph curry was double teamed 41 times. Kevin durant 0 in the entire series. In 2018 steph curry 43 kevin durant 2. So its actually way more then 7x lmao

The fact that someone took this out of draymond whole interview just shows ppl love drama lol...
In a recent podcast episode, Ty Lue opened up about his defensive strategy against Steph in the 2016 Finals as well. "Steph was a bad guy. He was a bad man. So we had to double team him every time he touched the ball, and he still averaged 27," Ty Lue said when asked about the 2016 Finals.Mar 31, 2022
Sounds like an excuse for why he wasn’t the best player on the court
@@ImbetterthanDWade never said he was the best player on the floor most effective though
Lmaoo it was actually "20 times more" Dray was being nice
This “lack of respect” means “please coddle KD” like the mamas boy he is…good god grow up!
The way I see it kd been in the playoffs 2 straight years with nothing to show. Steph had a play in chance last year didn't make it but then fully in the playoffs and gets the finals not as a #1 seed as a #3 seed. Point is steph has done more than kd in 1 year compared to kd 2 years in the playoffs.
Steph has a much better team and coach as well as a better front office. People just look at the top names and disregard everything else. Jordan Poole, Andrea Wiggins, and Kevon Looney putting up double figures every game. As great as Steph is he isn't the only reason for the success of the warriors. Steve Kerr finds a way to get the best from every one of his players. KD would thrive and did thrive in that system under that coach.
@@supergold9390 I hope KD took you out for a date for this😂
@@MeBihhhh Is he wrong ? Steph missed the playoffs last year when he had a different roster
@@ImbetterthanDWade you’re right he got 1 game away from where Durant got this year with a much better roster for the nets😂
@@MeBihhhh Much better roster ? Just admit you don’t watch basketball. I can to the playoffs with my star players missing most of the season. The 6’2 guy can’t
So, why would everyone who talks about this in regard to the two players instantly says KD was the better player of the two?
Because he is 7 feet tall, you can be a "{better player" and not be as effective on the court, teams consistently beat teams and players better than themselves, Kyrie is better the Steph athletically and maybe either skill wise, but he does not have the same effect on the game, he is good at the end of the game for last second shots, when Steph goes off it is over in the 3rd and he is on the bench in the 4th teams understand that.
This is silly, a stacked team arguing about double teams, I guess the fact that they were better than all competition by far wasn't enough.
Lol IKR!!
Honestly I feel like we don’t blast KD enough for how fraudulent his ‘greatness’ is he’s not top 15 as far as greatest of all time. Couldn’t lead his team to a chip even choked a 3-1 series to the warriors then joined them that off season that’s just outrageous. Imagine MJ joining the pistons Chuck joining the bulls this is crazy. He had to join a 73-9 team w a top 10 all time defender the greatest shooter and the 2nd best PG of all time and a top 5 shooter in Klay to get a ring. This guy is a fraud
💯💯💯
Kd is jealous of Steph. Steph has never said a cross word about him. Steph has everything Kd wants: his own winning team, respect from teammates, and more well liked overall.
Lol, jealous than a player you are better than? KD is superior to Steph in every way.
I’m surprised they brought antwan back after his top 30 take on Steph.
Right 😂😂
Everyone who watches basketball knows that Steph Curry is the most heavily guarded player in the game for the last 5 years. If you watched the playoffs where KD played with Steph. There were many times KD had an open shot or an open layup/dunk. He literally gets 2-3 free dunks every game lol.
Ty Lue CLEARLY said, "we blitzed HIM (CURRY), even with KD and Klay on the floor...because we believe he's (CURRY), that dangerous"... Then this goof ball comes on changing Lue's words to "we blitz the ball"... 😂😂😂 Hilarious
KD is overrated
I guess everyone must have forgot that Durant had a major injury, and was still able to do what he did this season. I love KD, but Go WARRIORS
I was a coach, and we double teamed who would do the greater harm. You do not double for the sake of doubling, because it places you at a dis-advantage, you do that out of necessity.
No you double the tiny 6’2 guard standing 25 feet from the basket. You can’t double the 6’11 wing isolating from mid range because he sees right over those double teams and will kick it out to shooters
Before I tweeted it was 100% false, I think I would go look up some stats first to be sure
You are going to the extreme, he handled it to the tune of 6 finals in 8 years, 2 MVP's and still average over 26 ppg., he handled it pretty will, it is just that it made it easier for Durant to get the finals mvp with single coverage.
Does antoine live an apartment building 😂
What’s wrong with that?
@@khwezi_bass a lot if you made 100 mill
Sounds like Walker is hating also.
Stats are Stats.
🤷🏾♂️
Sorry guys, I take Draymond's word before yous ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
They leeched those two rings off KD lmao. He’s the reason they couldn’t lose, or lebron might have gotten those two chips
