Draymond Green knows a little bit about social media snafus, which is why he said he got his laughs in with Kevin Durant this week. The Golden State Warriors teammates are now teammates in social media faux pas after Durant accidentally trashed his former Oklahoma City Thunder teammates and head coach earlier this week.
Durant has since apologized for the incident and just generally feels pretty bad about people thinking he has multiple Twitter accounts or a poor understanding of the third person perspective in the English language. That doesn’t mean Green will hold back from making fun of his teammate and friend.
Green was asked about the incident by reporters on Friday and said he was “laughing in his face” when he saw Durant earlier this week.

The full video goes a bit more in depth on the issues of social media embarrassment, which is inevitable and happens to everyone at some point. But when you have nearly 7 million followers on Twitter, or the thousands that followed Green on Snapchat when he exposed himself last offseason, things get a bit tough to swallow.

“I thought it was, I got a good laugh out of it. IT’s pretty funny to me,” Green said. “I reminded him of my mishap and that when we were at USA Basketball the day my mishap happened, I was stressed out. And all of them were laughing in my face. From him to Demarcus, he probably was the worst. And the beat goes on. They all laughed in my face so it’s a little payback.”
Green finished by pointing out the exact spot in the Warriors facility where Durant got his comeuppance.
“I stood right there,” Green said, pointing off camera to a spot behind reporters. “Over there, laughing in his face. And it felt pretty damn good to do.”
The lesson here is obviously be a more supportive friend to those who need your help. It’s only a matter of time until they’ll be in a position to return the favor.
