Draymond Green has never been one to hold back, and his latest comments are no exception. The Golden State Warriors veteran openly shared that he believes head coach Steve Kerr "hindered" his career, particularly during the Kevin Durant era.

On the April 29 episode of The Draymond Green Show, Green reflected on how his role shifted after Durant joined the team in 2016. Despite boasting four championship rings, Green expressed frustration that his offensive game never fully blossomed. He recalled that before Durant's arrival, he was posting career highs in points and rebounds. But once the superstar forward joined, Green says there were simply no plays designed for him in the Warriors' playbook.

"As much as he's done for me in basketball, a part of me thinks he's hindered me in my career and what I could've become," Green said about Kerr.

The conversation took an emotional turn when Green recounted a courtside incident last December. He told Kerr directly, "I don't think you like me, I don't think you've ever liked me if I'm honest." According to Green, the comment moved the coach to tears.

The complicated dynamic between Green and Kerr has been a simmering storyline for years, fueled by Green's on-court intensity and the seismic shift in team chemistry that came with Durant's arrival. While the Warriors enjoyed historic success during that era, Green's candid admission sheds new light on the personal cost of playing a supporting role in a superstar-driven offense.

For fans who remember Green's early career as a versatile playmaker and scorer, his frustration is understandable. It's a reminder that even champions can wonder what might have been.
