All eyes were on the Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night as Klay Thompson returned to face his old team. The Warriors played a tribute video, and the crowd cheered.
While the game was memorable for fans, Draymond Green revealed a funny moment between Klay and Steph Curry that only he knew about.
Draymond recently revealed that Thompson had ghosted Steph Curry before the game, leaving Curry quite upset. On “The Draymond Green Show,” he shared this behind-the-scenes story of how Curry got fired up before the game.
He revealed that a combination of his own text message and Klay Thompson’s pre-game silence played a significant role in pissing off Curry. Green recounted the events leading up to the game, saying, “So, finally, morning, I text Steph, and I text him like, ‘Hey, listen here big dog, I need you to be locked in. Whatever it is you need to do, if that’s watch this tribute video, I said I’m going to do the same.’”

The plan worked almost immediately. “Soon as I text him, he called me right away. So, I done tried to stir the pot a little bit, baby. So, I pissed Steph off because Steph was supposed to speak before the game. He like, ‘Yeah, I called Raymond and told him I’m not speaking. I just need to lock in on the game, so I ain’t even speaking. And I talked to Klay about it.’ Tried to check in with Klay on something, and Klay ghosted him. So, he got pissed, and here we go,” Green explained.
Draymond Green doubts Puka Nacua’s NBA potential
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua recently made headlines with his bold claim that he could transition from the NFL to the NBA in just three to six months. Nacua expressed confidence in his ability to play as a point guard or shooting guard in the NBA during an episode of the “Nine and Dime” podcast, which his teammates Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp hosted.
However, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green disagrees with Nacua’s assessment. He said, “Brother, no, you can’t. I promise you that you cannot do that. I’m just here to tell you.” During a discussion on Fred Warner’s podcast, “The Warner House,” the 34-year-old emphasized the significant differences between the two sports.
He added, “It’s a totally different thing, man, and so I don’t think there’s a single guy in the NFL that can come into the NBA and play in the NBA and vice versa.”
