From the archives: January 3, 2019. #Rockets James Harden trailed Cali by two and hit the winning 3 in overtime in the cup for Dray and Klay. That’s when I covered the radio call on video – @ca_rockets turned his back on the call. pic.twitter.com/Zs28JTR6wi – 6:02 PM

Knowing that Draymond wanted DPOTY, I asked him if he felt the All-Defensive Second Team was a compliment or a slight. Draymond said: “It’s slight. I think when I look at the first team, I’m not sure I can identify five players who have been better than me in defensive seasons.” 5:29pm

KD will definitely be watching the Finals in a Tatum jersey, full support for Steph and the Warriors 😂 – 5:20pm

Draymond Green on Defensive All-NBA Second Team: “For me, it’s just trivial. … When I look at the first team, I’m not sure I can figure out five defensive seasons that compare I’m a better player.” – 5:17pm

Draymond Green thinks the second-team All-Defensive lineup is trivial. Didn’t see five players defending better than him this season — 5:16pm

Why don’t they switch to a big man? They are too small. Why don’t they search the buyout market? Through relentless questions, Steve Kerr and Draymond Green didn’t blink. Neither did Kevin Rooney. nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio… – 4:46 pm

Sam Quinn @Sam Quinn CBS
Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jimmy Butler all came out with the injury-riddled Celtics.
Jimmy Butler is closer to beating them than Giannis or KD.
I don’t know how to do it, but it’s very important to how we should think about Jimmy. – 11:20pm
Justin Garcia @Termigarcia
The Celtics are the best team in the playoffs. They’re better than a healthy Miami team, and a lot better than this version that limped to the finish line. They knocked out KD and Giannis, but were 24 minutes away from breaking what could be their best chance at the title of this group — 9:59pm

Well, seriously, it’s Game 7 of the East’s hour-long pregame show, and ESPN has spent the most time figuring out whether KD is better than Curry (because it’s 2018) and the Lakers’ new coach– 8:06pm

Expect Warriors fans to react intelligently to ESPN’s discussion about who is better between KD and Curry — 8:03pm

“They need those shiny objects to analyze what’s going on…Stephen Curry’s double-teaming is 7 times what Kevin Durant did…His impact on the game, If you don’t know basketball, you’d say he needs a Finals MVP to prove who he is.” – Stephen Curry and Finals MVP Draymond Green. Kevin Durant on Twitter: This is 100% wrong in my opinion… -via Twitter @KDTrey5 / May 31, 2022
Kevin Durant: Oh, I saw my brothers, and I appreciate your compliment, but I disagree with what you’re saying about double-teaming, that’s all. I love this show – via Twitter @KDTrey5 / May 31, 2022
