KD Says Steve Kerr Was Why He Left the Warriors, Not Draymond

Kevin Durant, a two-time NBA Finals MVP, has shocked fans by revealing that it wasn’t his infamous argument with Draymond Green that made him leave the Golden State Warriors — it was actually his issues with head coach Steve Kerr. While many believed Durant’s heated sideline clash with Draymond during a regular season game against the Los Angeles Clippers in 2018 was the beginning of the end, KD now says his real problem was feeling disconnected from Kerr’s coaching approach and system. During his time with the Warriors, Durant played alongside superstars like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, and Draymond Green, helping Golden State win back-to-back championships in 2017 and 2018. The team also faced fierce playoff battles against rivals like LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, James Harden and the Houston Rockets, and even the Toronto Raptors with Kawhi Leonard during the 2019 Finals. Despite all the success, KD felt his voice wasn’t always valued in Golden State, and philosophical differences with Steve Kerr ultimately pushed him to leave and join Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets. Now, with KD on the Phoenix Suns, fans continue to dissect the real reasons behind the breakup of one of the most dominant teams in NBA history. Durant’s revelation adds another layer to the complex story of the Warriors dynasty and the internal tensions that even championship teams can’t escape. #KevinDurant #SteveKerr #DraymondGreen #GoldenStateWarriors #StephCurry #KlayThompson #AndreIguodala #NBAHistory #NBADrama #BrooklynNets #PhoenixSuns #LeBronJames #ClevelandCavaliers #HoustonRockets #JamesHarden #TorontoRaptors #KawhiLeonard #NBALegends #NBAPlayoffs #NBAFinals #NBATrades #Shorts #BasketballStories
