ESPN’s Seth Greenberg Says Draymond Green Has “Destroyed” The Warriors Dynasty

Draymond Green Slams ESPN Over His Viral Quote: "Y’all Should Pay Me For The Amount Of Clickbait Y’all Post"

 

According to NBA analyst Seth Greenberg, Warriors star Draymond Green is wholly responsible for destroying the Warriors’ culture. In a now viral rant, Seth explains how the defensive star has been a major detriment to his team.

“You talk about the dynasty of the Golden State Warriors. It’s over, it’s done,” Greenberg said, via Awful Announcing. “The coach who created it is in that locker room has to take ownership of what’s going on. Don’t play the dude.

He’s absolutely killing your culture, your identity, and basically everything that you built… the Golden State Warriors aren’t going anywhere. You’re going to have to blow this thing up. So why not make a strong statement saying, ‘You know what, we’ve got to go on.’”

As much as he laid into Draymond, Greenberg didn’t stop there. He also called out head coach Steve Kerr for enabling this behavior and letting his antics go unchecked for years until it became a bigger problem.

“Your actions as a coach, as an organization, have to be a whole lot stronger. You can’t just say, ‘Hey I know it’s Draymond, we’re disappointed.’ If I’m Steph Curry, that’s your locker room. … You’ve got to take a stronger stand. Steve Kerr’s got to take a stronger stand.”

Draymond has had a number of outbursts this season, ranging from squabbling with the refs to nearly sucker punching Jusuf Nurkic. For the first time in a while, Draymond was actually forced to pay for his transgressions and even the NBA had to step in and decide enough was enough.

For Draymond, it’s not just recent NBA history that gives folk reason to pause. Dating back to his early championship years, Green had a habit of crossing the line and some believe it cost the team a title back in 2016 and his punch on Jordan Poole last summer cost them one of their best young players in years.

Is This The End Of Warriors Dynasty?

After winning four championships together, this Warriors core has nothing left to prove. Their dominance changed the game forever and their place in basketball history can never be washed away.

Even so, all good things must come to an end and we may be seeing the end of this Warriors group playing out before our eyes. Presently, all of the Warriors OG title winners are over 35 years old, with the exception of Draymond Green who turned 34 this month. Father Time has obviously taken a toll and it’s a massive reason their general decline.

There’s also the situation with Klay Thompson. Once one of the NBA’s premier 3-and-D players, Klay has fallen far from his former glory.

This season, due to injuries age and other factors, he’s been moved to the bench with averages of 17.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game on 42.6% shooting.

Arguably the biggest problem of all for Golden State is their lack of size in the front court. Without a true big man to protect the rim, they remain vulnerable in that area and it remains to be seen how they will handle bigger opponents in the postseason.

Unless the Dubs make some major changes, or something drastic happens in the West, the Warriors are going to struggle to keep up with the competition and it certainly looks like their days as a top-flight contender may finally be over.
