Durant, Curry aren’t buying Charles Barkley’s apology to Draymond Green
NEW ORLEANS — A day after Charles Barkley apologized for saying he wanted to punch Warriors forward Draymond Green in the face, two of Green’s high-profile teammates weren’t buying it.
"He said what he said," Kevin Durant said after practice Thursday. "He felt that way. But Barkley ain’t punching nobody, like Draymond said. I don’t think he would’ve done that back in the day, either. I don’t know why he’s so angry all the time at the new generation of basketball. But I guess that’s what it is."
Added Stephen Curry: "When I was growing up, and I said something where I was in the wrong, my mom wanted me to apologize. If I said, ‘I’m sorry, but I still meant it,’ I would’ve gotten slapped in the face.
