Draymond Green and Steve Kerr have shared more than a decade together at the Golden State Warriors, forming a key part of one of the NBA’s most successful eras. Their partnership has delivered four championships since 2015.

That success has made both figures central to the franchise’s identity, although it has not shielded them from criticism. Kerr’s decisions, particularly around rotations, have often been questioned by fans.

Green has consistently backed his coach, and he addressed that criticism again, making his stance clear as the Warriors approach another decisive moment in their season.

Green defended Kerr on The Draymond Green Show, placing him among elite figures both in basketball and beyond.

In that context, the 36-year-old caught many fans off guard comparing his coach to Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and one of the most influential business figures in the world.

“I am very active on Threads. I see all the talk about Steve Kerr. And I tell you, you don’t want another coach in the foxhole with you. You don’t want another coach when your back is against the wall,” he began by saying.

The power forward then added: “I know all of you have your complaints about Steve Kerr, have your complaints about his rotations, his philosophies and all of these things. But I just never see anyone really question Jeff Bezos like that, I never see anyone question Gregg Popovich like that, I never see anyone question Phil Jackson like that.
