In a recent episode of his podcast, NBA player Draymond Green addressed his initial reaction to comments made by former teammate Kevin Durant, expressing his hope for Green to receive the help he needs. While initially angered by Durant's words, Green took the time to reflect and ultimately found a different perspective.

Durant's comments, expressing concern and the desire for Green to seek help, left Green feeling a range of emotions. However, after thoughtful introspection, Green realized that Durant's statement also acknowledged a side of him that he wished the world could see.

Green explained, "As I sat with myself, I said, 'I think it's time the world gets to know me. Who I am.' And if I can look at Kevin's statement the right way with the right mindset through the right lens, he's acknowledging essentially what I want the world to know about me."

Additionally, Green reevaluated his initial reaction to the mention of seeking help. He recognized that he may have interpreted Durant's words negatively, associating them with past experiences. Ultimately, Green decided not to view it as a negative but rather as an opportunity for growth and improvement.

Approximately a week after the incident involving Jusuf Nurkić, Green reportedly sought counseling, according to sources from The Athletic's Shams Charnia. During his podcast, Green confirmed that he reached out to trusted individuals and began formulating a plan to better himself before returning to the court.

The NBA recently lifted Green's suspension, allowing him to rejoin his team. The four-time NBA champion is expected to make his return within the next week or two, ready to put these incidents behind him and focus on his on-court performance.

Green's willingness to reflect on Durant's comments and take proactive steps to seek help showcases a maturity and self-awareness that sets a positive example for athletes facing similar challenges. With his suspension behind him, Green is eager to demonstrate to the world who he truly is both on and off the court.
