Dream Green: Don't regret the 16 Finals clash with James, but we don't have KD to win the championship

Everyone knows what happened in the 2016 NBA Finals. The Golden State Warriors led the Cleveland Cavaliers 3-1 until the final moments of Game 4, when James stepped over the head of Dream Green, which angered Green and made him throw punches at James. The NBA officially banned Green for one game, and the Cavaliers finally completed a 4-3 comeback.

Recently, Green made a guest appearance on former NBA player JJ Redick's podcast show "The Old Man and The Three", and he recalled that moment and said he learned a lot. "If someone crosses me like this, I'm naturally trying to get you out of the way. I can't guarantee I won't do it again, but I think James tricked me into doing it. Now he can't coax me into that, that's the problem, but I don't regret it because I learned a lot from it. ”

Green knows that if the whole team is played, the Warriors are likely to win the Cavaliers at home, winning the championship 4-1 and achieving two consecutive championships. But perhaps, this loss of the title is a blessing for the team. "If we did win that series, I don't think we could get Kevin Durant. If we don't get KD, I'm not sure we'll be able to move on. If we win two consecutive championships and then never win again, the Warriors Dynasty will cease to exist. ”

In the end, the Warriors who lost the Finals in the summer of 16 made a comeback, and they were lucky enough to get Durant, and finally won two consecutive championships to reach the Finals for three consecutive years.
