Draymond Green and DeMarcus Cousins Compare Their Careers in NSFW Comments

Cousins

Four-time Warriors champion Draymond Green and DeMarcus Cousins got candid about their playing days together and discussed why people dismissed Cousins, while they embraced Green.

Green recalled a conversation he had with his former teammate in 2018, where the pair discussed the difference between attitude and passion – which Draymond didn’t quite grasp at the time.

“There’s passion, and there’s attitude. They live in the same house, but the difference is how they’re characterized and categorized,” Green said on his self titled podcast The Draymond Green Show. “I remember you said something to me in 2018, ‘Man, we’re the same. And they say you got passion, and they say I’m crazy and got an attitude,’ I was like, ‘Cous, you’re f****** crazy, we ain’t the same.’ And what you said was, ‘Nah, but ya’ll be winning. So, they say yours is passion. I haven’t won much, so they say mine is an attitude, and I can’t be coached, and I’m crazy, and this and that,’ and I say all of that to say, I’m sorry because you was right.”

Cousins responded, “You get to a point where you just learn to control what you can control, and at the end of the day, in this lifetime, there’s gonna be mother f****** that hate you, there’s gonna be mother f****** that love you. That’s just how this goes, no matter how many things you do right. There’s gonna be something to hate about what you’re doing. You’re doing it the right way. That’s just the nature of life.”

Green has been a vital part of the Warriors’ success, but in his last two seasons, the Warriors haven’t been winning.

He has also been in trouble multiple times with foul play, especially in season 2023-24, where he was suspended indefinitely at one point.

So maybe upon reflection, Green finally understands where Boogie was coming from.
