Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green had his former teammate's back.

During a recent episode of his podcast, Green slammed detractors of Houston Rockets star forward Kevin Durant, who claim that Durant "quit" on the Rockets because he has missed multiple games in the first round of the playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers due to injury issues.

“A lot of people have made a lot of discourse about, ‘Oh, KD don’t really want to play. He’s quitting on his teammates.’ One thing you don’t question: Kevin Durant loves to play basketball," Green said. "He loves to play basketball. If there’s anything that Kevin Durant loves, he loves to play basketball. To question a guy, injured, that has shown nothing but the love for the game of basketball, is bull****."

“I think it’s ridiculous,” Green added. “The respect around our game is just at an all-time low, because so many people have voices about the game that shouldn’t have voices. Like Kevin Durant not wanting to play basketball? What else is he going to do? Man loves hooping. So I just think that’s ridiculous.”
