If you’re looking for some beef to happen with the NBA season being in hiatus, then look no further than to a member of LeBron James’ camp who had plenty to say about Stephen Curry.
Over the weekend, Warriors forward Draymond Green joined Maverick Carter and Paul Rivera to discuss the premiere episodes of “The Last Dance” documentary about the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls.
During the conversation, Carter stated the following:
“There’s no way to validate this but it’s definitely probably true — he (Michael Jordan) did his job at a level better than anybody else in the world has ever done their job. But the truth is — even that guy needs his other people, and most importantly that second person.
“If I’m the best at doing my thing, I need the other people to clear the way so I can do my thing. So Scottie (Pippen) took care of everything else. They brought up those stats. Scottie was second in rebounds, second in points, first in steals, blah blah blah.
He then turned his attention to Steph Curry:
“It’s just like the Warriors — the world knows Steph (Curry) can’t f–king play defense. I’m 38 — haven’t played a decent game of basketball in 18 years — Steph would have trouble guarding me.
Draymond Green could be heard chuckling.

“But Steph is the greatest shooter in the world. When that motherf–ker gets rolling you can’t stop him — he can hit any shot from anywhere on the court.
“And he’s actually really good off the ball on defense — he’s a good steal artist. But he needs Klay (Thompson) and Draymond to kind of cover everything else so he can do his thing.”
Steph is not a lockdown one-on-one defender, but he has shown flashes of brilliance on that side of the floor.
