Spats between teammates are a common occurrence in any team sport. However, the incident between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole took it to a whole other level.
So much so that Draymond had to take a break from the team, and had to apologize to the fans, organization, and Poole as well. It was a situation that laid a lot of criticism at Green’s step.
That being said, there are those who believe the Warriors star will come out wiser from this situation. This includes the Big Ticket, Kevin Garnett.
Kevin Garnett believes Draymond Green needs to be patient and step up as a leader of the Warriors
There can be no denying that the whole Draymond Green and Jordan Poole situation was an ugly one. Green himself has already admitted to his error.
It certainly was a bad look, but there are those who understand Green’s position. Particularly, former Celtics star and NBA Champion, Kevin Garnett.

The Big Ticket sat alongside Paul Pierce in the most recent segment of Showtime’s KG Certified. The duo spoke about Green’s actions, and sympathized with him, as they had been in a similar position, and even gave him some advice.
Garnett suggested that in such situations, it is smarter to pull a player aside and have a chat. He even stated that Draymond needs to be more patient and step up as a leader. Sound advice from one of the greats.
KG knows what it’s like to be the veteran in a winning team
KG is no stranger to being the leader of a championship team. Seeing as he was one of the veterans of the 2008 Boston Celtics, a team that went all the way.
