when you win. And like I said, understanding and being around and and and knowing Draymond when that [ __ ] happened in LA, I'm like, >> "Yeah, >> damn." Like, I understand him because

>> damn." Like, I understand him because he's wears his heart on the sleeve, always speaks from the cuff, and most of the time it's right. You mean, but the [ __ ] he said was over the [ __ ] line.

>> It was out of >> So, how did that happen? How did run me through that?

>> I mean, it really came out of nowhere. I

didn't I mean we the play happened. I

was going to grab a rebound. He came and grabbed it. I'm thinking he going to

grabbed it. I'm thinking he going to just toss it to me and we going run up court and I'm going to shoot the shot.

>> The whole world thinking that not just you think >> come off the pill, my [ __ ] I [ __ ] with you but come off the rock right there.

Everybody in the world knew you supposed to come off the rock.

>> Yeah. Everybody knew that and we all figured that that would happen. And then

when it didn't, I was kind of shocked and then I was just like, "Oh, Dre, like let me see that." You know what I'm saying? [laughter]

saying? [laughter] >> What are you doing?

>> Like what you doing? Then they turn it over. I'm like I'm just so confused at

over. I'm like I'm just so confused at that point cuz he never ever did nothing like that before and everybody on the bench was confused too and then we came back then I just heard him screaming and I was like hold up he usually screaming

when he come back to the bench but what is he saying then he start going off and I'm just like maybe it's because I was like [ __ ] pissed that he ain't give me the rock cuz I didn't say nothing. It

was just in my body language. I was just clapping and just like >> for your defense Clay had Clay was pissed too. Look at the video. Clay

pissed too. Look at the video. Clay

pissed too. Like throw one of us to rock. You know, you can't hit a house in

rock. You know, you can't hit a house in the kitchen either. Get one of us to rock and let us shoot the [ __ ] >> So man, then he started coming off the top with all of that stuff. And I'm just thinking I'm like Draymond was is actually my friend. Like he's somebody I

can call when I'm going through anything. Like yo bro,

anything. Like yo bro, >> come through. Like bro, let's hang out tonight. Like and for him to say that

tonight. Like and for him to say that type of [ __ ] to me, it just threw me for a loop. And it just really I just

a loop. And it just really I just started isolating myself after that cuz I didn't feel like you know they suspended Draymond but it was just like they had to so it won't look bad to

everybody else. And then nobody talked

everybody else. And then nobody talked to me about it or really like we never really came to an agreement that it we didn't even we didn't even voice our nobody as a whole cuz it happened in front of the whole team and nobody

really talked about it. It was just swept under the rug and to me it was just like we a family. we supposed to like even if he said that we can move past it but let's all talk about it let's just say how we all felt about that moment cuz that's a huge moment

>> in this whole dynasty like you know what I mean don't just sweep it under the rug cuz we want to win >> that's the reason why we not going to win you know what I mean so I was like let's just all talk about this it's not that big of a deal like just put it out

on the table we can move past it and when that didn't happen I was just like [ __ ] it let me just hoop and worry about myself and we went on >> well see that I think that probably hurt y'all because if y'all would have came

out and he would have heard more people saying, "Bro, you should have passed the ball. Bro, you should have passed the

ball. Bro, you should have passed the ball." I think he would have came

ball." I think he would have came outside himself and realized like, "You know what? Maybe I overreacted."

know what? Maybe I overreacted."

>> Yeah. It was

>> He never got a chance to say that.

>> Yeah. I mean, Draymond, we all know what Draymond is. And it's like, it's not

Draymond is. And it's like, it's not it's fine that you can that you want to do that and you want to show your emotions and wear them on your sleeve, that's fine. But when it's over the line

that's fine. But when it's over the line sometimes, let's just talk about it so next time you you tone it down just a bit. And I feel like we didn't had an

bit. And I feel like we didn't had an opportunity to do so because we was so focused on trying to just move forward and win. And I get that too. But it's

and win. And I get that too. But it's

like if we a family and we >> gonna hash it out and then we gonna move forward.

>> Yeah. We we done won two chips together bigger than like this ain't this some this some [ __ ] we can sit down to talk about. Certain words going to come out

about. Certain words going to come out too. Like

too. Like >> we brothers and I got into I got in fist fights with my brothers. But certain

words you don't say.

>> Yeah.

>> You know what I'm saying? Certain words

you don't say. You know when that line is closed.

>> Well, I think he realized that too. You

mean I like I said I think us knowing we we all know him. I think he realized he [ __ ] up. He cross the line. But that's

what kind of dude is. But that even makes the point more like let's [ __ ] sit down have a really talk about this. All of us.

>> Me and him sat down and talked about it and [clears throat] we kind of you know >> I I gave him my piece on it and he he told me how he felt on it. But I'm like it happened in front of the whole team.

>> That's everybody.

>> So everybody got to talk about >> because everybody [ __ ] with each other. It wasn't like you was forcing

other. It wasn't like you was forcing it. Everybody really [ __ ] with each

it. Everybody really [ __ ] with each other. You know what I mean? So let's

other. You know what I mean? So let's

sit down and hash that out. Then again,

everybody was thinking you was passing [laughter] the rock, bro. It ain't just Katie. It ain't just Clay. Everybody in

Katie. It ain't just Clay. Everybody in

the world thought you was coming off the rock >> and you was wrong. Just to admit, you was wrong. That's And that's And that's

was wrong. That's And that's And that's the whole thing. I think I think he had too much pride in the fact that he turned it over and that made him react that way.

>> Yeah. But we know [ __ ] turnovers happen.

>> Exactly.

One of the best playmakers on the team.

>> Nobody really care if we won or lost that game in the first place. It was

just like we I mean we in that situation. Let's just go ahead try to

situation. Let's just go ahead try to finish it the right way. You know, but at the end of the day, nobody really cared about that win or loss. You know

what I'm saying?

>> But this two great coaches when you don't get a shot at the end of the game like that, they be pissed. Greg Papovic,

he'll he'll sit your ass down the whole game. If you [ __ ] up a play coming out

game. If you [ __ ] up a play coming out of timeout and don't get a shot up at the end.

>> Oh yeah. I mean, [ __ ] that'll make anybody pissed if you just turn it over at the end of a game. I think the media kind of saw that as an entryway to kind of start >> dividing the these [ __ ] are so

good. What can we start doing? What can

good. What can we start doing? What can

we start developing to to [ __ ] this armor?

>> And I got to like I was only there with y'all for 3 months, but I always saw to me when I looked like I was like this is this some cold [ __ ] man. The media is cold, man. If you pay attention, these

cold, man. If you pay attention, these [ __ ] is really telling you what they doing right in front of your face, but you can't do nothing cuz they glamour that [ __ ] up and put a bow on

it. It was always to me KD and the

it. It was always to me KD and the Warriors. It was never the Warriors.

Warriors. It was never the Warriors.

>> Kevin Durant's a part of that team.

>> And I was looking at I was like, "Hold up." So, uh, D West came the same time I

up." So, uh, D West came the same time I came, but he's a Warrior and I'm not [laughter] makes no sense. Jelle McGee,

same way. Like, he's a war. Like, Ian

Clark, he was there before me, but he laughed. He didn't win the second

laughed. He didn't win the second championship with us, but he's a like it didn't make no sense to me. you know,

like the media is just trying so hard to separate this thing. And I was just like, for what? Like you didn't do that with LeBron and and and Dwade and B.

Like you didn't do that with those guys.

You didn't do that with KG and and Paul Pearson. You ain't trying to separate

Pearson. You ain't trying to separate them. It's like, oh, why is why you

them. It's like, oh, why is why you trying to separate me from the rest of the team >> and you actually are making this your job. Your duty to do so is to push this

job. Your duty to do so is to push this narrative every day. People call me wild for calling it out, but I'm just like, no, I think it's corny. It is what it is.

>> The fact you speak on it makes you, like you said, the fact you speak on the [ __ ] and you see it, you're bad.

>> Yeah, exactly. It's just like I'm just >> The fact that you're this person, you're I'm just supposed to y'all one of the greatest players ever to play. I'm just

supposed to let it go. That's what you want me to do >> cuz y'all supposed to be messengers to the fans and they looking at y'all and y'all can easily like brainwash people with y'all [ __ ] And it's not about you. If you a media guy, nobody cares

you. If you a media guy, nobody cares about you.

>> It's not about you. It's about what you see on it. Yeah.

You're trying to put your whole style and flare on something that got nothing to do with you. This game going to be here. This game was here before you.

here. This game was here before you.

It's going to be here way after you. So

nobody cares about you. They don't care about me that much in 40 years, 50 years. They going to look for the next

years. They going to look for the next thing. You know what I'm saying? So like

thing. You know what I'm saying? So like

get out the way.

>> That's why it's so important now because you think back in the day preocial media whatever they put out is the truth and we never had a platform. You know what I mean? So that's why I love it when

mean? So that's why I love it when you're out here. I didn't like to use a burner phone. I would have said [ __ ] it.

burner phone. I would have said [ __ ] it.

I'm Kevin Durant [ __ ] I'm going to cuss you out. You talk some [ __ ] I'm going to talk some [ __ ] I'mma speak my mind.

>> I'm still going to do the burner thing.

[laughter] I'm still going to do that.

>> You still on it?

>> Yeah.

[laughter] >> There's some [ __ ] that you just got to be saying. These folks going to always

be saying. These folks going to always say [ __ ] it, bro. I'm saying if I'm you, like, you know, if you come for me, I'm coming back.

>> For sure. Certain people I'm going to come back on my regular account, but if I'm trying to do my thing, hey, look out. You know what I mean? Look out. I

out. You know what I mean? Look out. I

got the burning.

>> It's still out there. It's lurking. I

just slipped up that one time.

[laughter] >> You know why I slipped up?

>> Time for tip off. Time for a line.

Whether you're catching the game from a couch or calling shots at the stadium, bring the taste of the beach to every play with Corona. Because there's

nothing better than enjoying the basketball season with the Corona in your hand. So when it's time for tip

your hand. So when it's time for tip off, grab [music] the beer that brings the beach to you. Corona. Laiaa awaits.
