Seth Curry reveals ‘awkward' Warriors Draymond Green trash talk in front of Steph
The Golden State Warriors are hoping that the trio of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green will be enough to allow them to contend next year in the Western Conference alongside a Motley crew of role players. While Green is no longer the player he was in his prime, his trash-talking skills have not diminished at all.
Recently, Stephen Curry's brother Seth, also an NBA sharpshooter, recalled an incident where Green talked smack to him–with his brother standing in the immediate vicinity.
'I'm at the free throw line, and Draymond's out there. We're talking… I say something, and he's like 'why are you talking? You're a journeyman. Every team in the league.' It was funny because Steph was right there. It was kind of awkward,' said Curry, per iHeartRadio, via TheWarriorsTalk on X, formerly Twitter.
Draymond Green has indeed been known as one of the NBA's biggest trash talkers during his tenure in the league, most notably informing Paul Pierce that he wouldn't get the same love that Kobe Bryant did during his retirement farewell tour.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, Green's antics have at times become a major distraction, with him serving multiple suspensions during playoff runs and also punching teammate Jordan Poole prior to the 2023-24 season, which hung a major cloud over that campaign.
Can the Warriors compete?
The Warriors last year looked like a legitimate threat right up until Stephen Curry got injured in the first quarter of their second round series vs the Minnesota Timberwolves. While Golden State hung on and won that game, they would lose the next four, bringing a promising season in the wake of the Jimmy Butler trade to an unceremonious end.
The Warriors have yet to make any notable moves so far this offseason, and the only real question for the team now is how they will handle the Jonathan Kuminga saga, which could be nearing its finish line.
In any case, when Green keeps his temper in check, he remains one of the more unique players in the league and an integral part of the Warriors' success.

Shohei Ohtani pitching results: Dodgers star strikes out Mike Trout twice
Shohei Ohtani returned to the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. While it was a road game for the Dodgers, Ohtani was back in a familiar setting: Angel Stadium. Wednesday marked his first time pitching in the stadium as an opponent. Before Wednesday's game, he was 21-8 with a 2.22 ERA in 47 career starts at Angel Stadium, according to MLB Network. Ohtani played for the Los Angeles Angels from 2018 to 2023. The Japanese star continues to progress on the mound and isn't expected to pitch more than five innings per start during the regular season. He did not pitch during his first season with the Dodgers in 2024 as he continued to recover from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. Shohei Ohtani pitching performance Ohtani allowed five hits and four earned runs, while striking out seven in 4.1 innings pitched on Wednesday against the Angels. He threw a season-high 80 pitches and had at least two wild pitches near the end of the fourth inning. He came out in the fifth inning after Zach Neto hit a two-run double. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts went to the bullpen and called on Anthony Banda to replace Othani with just one out recorded in the inning. Ohtani was not expected to pitch more than five innings and had not thrown more than 55 pitches in a single game before Wednesday. Ohtani had impacted the game before he even took the mound, recording a leadoff triple before Mookie Betts hit an RBI single to bring him in to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. The Dodgers extended their lead to 3-0 in the top of the first inning. But Ohtani had a rough start to the second inning, with Taylor Ward hitting a solo home run 375 feet to right-center field. The Angels scored two runs in the inning. Ohtani, the reigning National League MVP, struck former teammate Mike Trout twice, however. The two-way star's performance followed up his last outing against the St. Louis Cardinals on Aug. 6, in which he produced a season-high eight strikeouts. He pitched four innings, allowing just one run on two hits in a 5-3 loss. During his seventh start of the season, Ohtani left the game during the middle of an at-bat after throwing six consecutive balls against the Cincinnati Reds. While the situation appeared concerning, he was not injured and was dealing with a cramp in his right hip.
