Draymond Green left dumbfounded by Isiah Thomas on national TV: "I'm not sure I know what that word means"
Draymond Green joined the NBA TV crew following the Golden State Warriors' 127-100 win over the LA Lakers in Game 2. However, Isiah Thomas seemingly left Green dumbfounded by using a specific word to ask him about how the Warriors stay hungry despite having four NBA championships.
Thomas was very impressed with Golden State since they won the championship last season and they have a chance to do it again this season. The Hall of Famer asked the former Defensive Player of the Year how the team manages to stay "insatiable."
Green was a little confused because he didn't know what that word mean. However, he explained that it's all due to Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, who he described as two of the most competitive players in NBA history, as well as head coach Steve Kerr.
"Isiah that's a big word and I'm not sure I know what that word means," Green said. "I've had the honor of 11 years playing with two of the most competitive guys and I know I get a lot of credit for that. But Klay Thompson and Steph Curry are two of biggest competitors I've ever been around."
"You add in a coach in Steve Kerr, who is not only one of the biggest competitors, but one of the best winners the NBA has seen in the last 40 years. You just try to feed off of that, man."
.@IsiahThomas: "All of you have still found a way to be thirsty and hungry to win. How have you managed to do that and stay insatiable about winning?"

Draymond Green also mentioned Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers for putting together a team that has been competitive for a long time. Green and Myers are set to become free agents this summer if the Warriors don't sign them to new contracts.
Toward the end of the interview, Isiah Thomas explained that insatiable means never being satisfied. Former Coach of the Year Sam Mitchell, who went to Mercer, also took a shot at Green and his alma mater Michigan State, which got a reaction from the whole crew.

Klay Thompson was scorching from behind the arc, hitting eight three-point shots and scoring a total of 30 points. Steph Curry did a lot of playmaking in Game 2, putting up just 20 points and four rebounds, but dishing out 12 assists along the way.
JaMychal Green got the starting nod over Kevon Looney and didn't disappoint. Green had 15 points in just 13 minutes, but it was huge considering the game was close in the first half.
