Draymond Green Clarifies His Ray Allen-Heat Remark Was Not A Shot At Klay Thompson

Draymond Green issues a clarification after Heat fans misunderstand his comparison of Klay Thompson to Ray Allen.

Draymond Green Clarifies His Ray Allen-Heat Remark Was Not A Shot At Klay Thompson

Draymond Green, a veteran member of the Golden State Warriors, recently expressed his thoughts on Klay Thompson's decision to join the Miami Heat. However, his comments were misinterpreted as a shot at Thompson. The 36-year-old veteran has now clarified on social media that he did not mean to criticize Thompson. He acknowledged that they still wanted Ray Allen back when he retired, and urged fans not to be too emotional about players' decisions.

Green believes that the media should not set Thompson up for failure by comparing him to his 2018 self. He pointed out that Thompson's career averages are better than Allen's when he was in his prime with the Heat. Thompson is now seeking to bounce back and play a more crucial role as a starter for the Heat, rather than just coming off the bench.
