Draymond Green ‘crushed’ that Stephen A. Smith attacked Steph Curry’s leadership during suspension
Draymond Green saw a lot of people giving their two cents about him after he was suspended last month for hitting Phoenix center Jusuf Nurkic in the face during a game.
But it was Stephen A. Smiths comments about Steph Curry last month that crushed the Warriors star.
The ESPN star had used the situation to question Currys leadership on an episode of First Take that Green had gotten wind of.

Green addressed it during his podcast that was released on Monday.
Because Draymond did X Curry is a bad leader. It pissed me off, but it crushed me, Green admitted. How is Steph enduring being a bad leader? Like this guy doesn’t give us anything to tear him down about. This guy does everything the right way and yet he’s being torn down because of my actions? Crushed me.
Warriors star Stephen Curry APThere were certainly plenty of leadership questions thrown around in the wake of Greens incident last month — the latest in a long history of them.
Green had been suspended indefinitely by the NBA after he struck Nurkic with a spinning back fist in a game against the Suns.
