Draymond Green doesn't think other countries are catching up: 'It actually seems like it's growing even further apart'
Draymond Green: “When Usain Bolt was running, everybody else was fighting for a silver and bronze medal, and that is absolutely incredible. When Usain ran, we all knew, all right, the most interesting part of the race was like, is Usain going to take it serious enough to break the record, or who’s coming in second and third place? That’s what you’re looking for. That’s kind of what we’re looking for in basketball these days. There’s all this talk of, like, oh man, other countries are catching up to the USA in basketball, and it just does not quite seem that way. It actually seems the total opposite. It actually seems like it’s growing even further apart. Team USA is even better, and so that’s kind of where we are.”

More on this storyline
Draymond Green: In the three minutes that Rudy checked in, Shai started getting off. That’s when it started to turn the corner for Shai, and then he came back out. I think his finger was messed up. We don’t know quite what’s coming out of the French national team side. It seems like a little bit of a misunderstanding. Nonetheless, the guys that were supposedly better as far as a matchup, they got off, and France is moving on.” -via YouTube / August 7, 2024
Sources told ESPN that neither Curry nor Green want to be “final decision-makers” in regards to roster moves or transactions. But they do want to be consulted. “Steph has said, ‘Look, I do not want to be making those decisions,'” a source told ESPN. “It puts me in a different spot than all of my teammates. I do not want that.” -via ESPN / August 7, 2024
Sources added Curry and Green are exhibiting trust that what has happened this offseason can help the team — as long as the team remains competitive. “I want to win. Let’s put it this way, it’s a long winded way of saying that if it is a situation where you’re a bottom feeder and it’s just because you want to stay there, I’d have a hard time with that,” Curry told Andscape. “But I don’t think that’s going to be the reality.” -via ESPN / August 7, 2024
