Just a brutally snark talking to reporters about Kawhi's game
1:12 mark
Reporter:
Draymond, What makes Kawhi such a beast to deal with?Draymond:
Uh, he's a good player.Reporter:
Specifically, how would compare him to dealing with peak Lebron?Draymond:
He's a great player and Lebron is a out of this world - one of the greatest players we ever seen. Uh... different players though.Reporter:
How so?Draymond:
They, they got 2 different names. They like different people. Uh...like...yeah they just different. Um...they not the same person. 
Just a special kinda a$$hole
Didn't watch the video..but from what you wrote..He said Kawhi is a great player...And i think the last thing Dray wants to do right now is compare Lebron and Kawhi.
He's trying to get another chip..not praise Kawhi.
And why are there reporters asking questions like this? It's the finals and they still cant take Lebrons nuts out of their mouths? Ask questions related to the game they're going to play or things regarding GSW.
Again i didn't watch the video so im guessing it's the tone in which he is speaking in?
This isn't me being upset with Draymond. It is seriously one off the funniest responses I've seen in a while. Watch the video from 1:12 to 1:45. Truly epic response by Dray. I'm still laughing!
Yup, this was a great response from Draymond and you can see the growing maturity in how he handles interviews. I think the reporter was trying to goad Green into making some type of comment that would either be taken out of context to sound like he is dissing Kawhi or dissing LeBron. Dray didn't take the bait, but he still provided truthful answers. "He (Kawhi) is a great player." What about LeBron? "He's one of the greatest to ever play the game." I don't think anyone would disagree with that and even biased fans would have to conclude that both are true statements. "But they are different players." How so? Here is where a younger Draymond may have taken the bait and tried to do a technical analysis which could easily be misunderstood. But he said "They have different names. They are different people; not the same person." Again, all true statements. But he is fighting for a title and he doesn't give the Raptors any bulletin board material to get even more fired up, like 'Kawhi's good but we've faced plenty who are better.' And he doesn't say anything that could make his teammates feel like he has given up on them, like 'Kawhi is just unstoppable; we have no one who even has a chance guarding him.'
Again, great that others can point out Draymond's growing maturity in interviews with this clip. He answered the questions, told the truth, but did not take the reporter's bait and get sucked into a bunch of BS; the last thing you want to do with an elimination game looming.
