Kevin Durant responds after Draymond Green claims Warriors have offered him head coaching job when he retires
Draymond Green made a stunning claim during All-Star weekend. The 34-year-old revealed he has been offered the head coach role for the Golden State Warriors once he retires, and stars like Kevin Durant quickly reacted to the news. Durant responded to Green’s claim he was in line to be the next Warriors head coachGetty Green has enjoyed a great career to date, winning four NBA championships and two Olympic gold medals while becoming Defensive Player of the Year in 2017 and making four All-Star Games. This year, the power forward is having a strong individual season, averaging 8.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest heading into the All-Star break. The future Hall of Famar is approaching the tail end of his career, with his contract that ends in 2026 likely to be his last. A career in the media seems the most suitable for Green, given his personality and regular appearances on the studio show, Inside the NBA. With that in mind, it came as a surprise when Green revealed on the show that he already has a post-retirement job offer, not in the media but as the Warriors’ head coach. “I have already been offered the Golden State Warriors head coaching job when I’m done,” the 34-year-old said on air. When asked if he thinks he’d make a good coach, Green said, “I think I could be a good coach. I don’t want to be.” Green’s comments came after fellow TNT analyst Candance Parker said there was “no way” she would become a head coach and said it was the same for the Warriors star. The news quickly traveled and Durant, who won two NBA championships alongside Green between 2017-18, gave his opinion on the power forward ever becoming a coach. “I think Draymond would be an incredible head coach,” Durant said. Draymond Green claims he has been offered the Warriors head coach job Kevin Durant responded to Green’s claims after his NBA All-Star victory “I think he’d be a better head coach than he would a TV analyst,” KD joked. “He’s pretty good at that. I just think he loves being on the floor. He loves teaching. “He loves that competetive nature of competing on the court. And I think if he would go into TV, he would be clawing and itching to get back on the floor. So yeah, I think he would be a great coach. Green’s viral remarks did not stop there as he also took the opportunity on air to criticise the All-Star Game as a whole. Asked to rate it on a scale, Green said, “Ten being the best? A zero. It sucks. Awful.” “You work all year to be an All-Star and you get to play up to 40 (points) and then you’re done,'” Green added on TNT Although Green’s teammate and MVP on the night, Steph Curry praised the NBA for trying something new. “I think it was a good step in the right direction to reinvigorate the game in some way,” Curry said. Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard echoed the thoughts of Curry, saying, “I think they’re just looking for a more competitive game and trying to find ways to create that and it was a little bit more competitive than they have been the last few years,” The NBA has a year to review and learn from this year’s All-Star event before it returns in 2026 in Los Angeles, where players and fans will be expecting a significant improvement.
