Why Warriors star Draymond Green doesn’t mind receiving hate – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

Draymond Green never has shied away from the villain’s role.

The Warriors forward joined streamer Kai Cenat on Tuesday, and he gave a very Green-esque response when asked how he deals with the hate he receives.

“I’d rather be hated,” Green said. “If you’re not going to love me, I’d rather be hated. You know why? Because at least you have an opinion about me. If I just sit in the middle, I don’t move the needle either way. So… with me, you either love me or you hate me. If you hate me, like, that’s your business because you really don’t know me.

“So, if you’re going to spend your time, waste your time, the energy that it takes to hate a human being, or anything. The energy that it takes you to spend. If you’re going to hate me and you don’t know me, then your life’s what?”

The four-time All-Star is commonly voted among the most disliked players in the NBA, but it’s incredibly evident that it doesn’t bother the 35-year-old.

“Why would I care that she hates me or he hates me,” Green said. “That s–t ain’t going to pay a bill, it ain’t going to take away from a bill. … People also hate those that win because most people lose.”

The four-time NBA champion certainly has done a lot of that during his 13-year career, and that alone could be reason enough for people to dislike Green.

With that said, it’s pretty clear that Green is unfazed.
