OAKLAND, Calif. — It began with a phone call last June 19, an impassioned plea from Draymond Green to Kevin Durant, made from the arena parking lot just after the Golden State Warriors' crushing Game 7 defeat in the NBA Finals. "KD, we need you."
Or, you know, maybe it didn't.
"A hundred percent false," Durant said Sunday, contradicting his teammate's version of events. "No, he didn't make that call. Not right after the game."
Judging by Durant's expression (serious) and his tone (deadly serious), we might conclude Green embellished a bit when he relayed his parking-lot tale to ESPN's Zach Lowe last week.
