The claim that I ran Kevin Durant out of Golden State is closer to the truth than the claim that I begged him to join the team.

The one that is probably closest to the truth is I ran [Kevin Durant] out of town... Because I'm not begging anyone for this... I don't quite know if I ran him myself. But I'll take that one.

Draymond is confirming a long-standing rumor about internal team dynamics.

Matthew Dellavedova stinks and has zero athleticism

I have a ton of respect for Deli. 'cause he's so, so hard-nosed, but like both things can be true. Like I can have a ton of respect for him and he stink... The man was like guarding the hell outta Steph Curry... He has zero athleticism.

Dellavedova's career stats are modest, but he was a key role player on a championship team; the 'stinks' label is subjective and competitive.

I have a top-five basketball IQ in the NBA

I definitely 1000% have a top five basketball IQ in the NBA for sure... Myself, [LeBron], Joker... Chris Paul... and Luca.

Basketball IQ is subjective, but Draymond is widely cited by coaches and peers as one of the smartest defenders ever.

There will never be another player in NBA history who is guarded as heavily or uniquely as Steph Curry.

There will never be a player guarded like that again. The NBA has never seen it and will never see it again. That's why when everybody's complaining about yo, like why are they grabbing him like that? ... But this is the first time they've ever seen that. It's not as easy to referee as people think it is.

A historical claim about the future uniqueness of a player's impact.

Steve Kerr's offensive system, not just the individual talent, is primarily responsible for changing how the game is played.

He's the one that brought the offensive style that changed the way the game is played... he then came in and brought a system that created that. No one speaks about that. It's always like, oh man, like Steph's the greatest shooter ever... but how did Steph end up in that offense? So who, who, who did that?

This is an internal team perspective on the cause of their success.

The 'know-how' of winning a championship is the most underrated factor in NBA success, and it's why the Warriors won in 2022.

One of the most underrated things about winning a championship... is the knowhow. In 2022 We won because we just knew how. We knew how to do it. That is one of the most underrated things... it is the most underrated thing when coming to winning a championship.

A philosophical take on the intangible factors of winning.
