Stephen Curry, turning up the heat in the recent 3-point showdown, received unwavering support from Draymond Green from the get-go. Green’s belief in Curry’s abilities was evident even before the event, as he stood by Steph, contrary to the opinions of many athletes and analysts. Now, as Curry gears up for another headline-worthy event, the East vs. West All-Star game, Green continues to express his support.
In a conversation with Taylor Rooks, Green eagerly voiced his anticipation to witness Stephen Curry hoisting the All-Star MVP trophy. He cited Curry’s placement lower in the rotation as something Steph can see as “disrespect.” With that, Green believes Curry will be coming in hot from the long range.
Draymond: "I'm looking forward to Steph winning MVP… they got my man not starting so he's going to take that as disrespect and he's going to come out firing and we know how that's gonna end." pic.twitter.com/IgLdoSxjg7
