Many NBA fans, along with Stephen Curry, consider Draymond Green an essential member of the Warriors. His stellar defensive play earned him the title of Defensive Player of the Year in 2017.
Fans love him, yet his controversial character frequently makes others feel otherwise. A leaked video from 2022 showing Green trying to fight Jordan Poole is a well-remembered moment, and it came into the limelight again.
That video of Green punching Poole during practice before the 2022–23 season made things worse. As a result, Poole was traded to the Washington Wizards after a tense season.
The conflict also created challenges for head coach Steve Kerr, who called it a tough moment in his career.
Steve Kerr blames Draymond Green for Jordan Poole incident
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has opened up about the infamous altercation between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole, admitting that Green was mostly responsible for the incident. Coach Steve Kerr recently said on The Dan Le Batard Show that he was “most angry” with Green after the incident.
He said, “But he crossed the line about Jordan and he knows it, he knew it immediately. And it made that season incredibly difficult for everybody. That story has been regurgitated many times but that’s probably the time I was most angry”
