In this short interview, Draymond Green and an unnamed speaker discuss the pivotal moment when Kevin Durant returned to the NBA Finals after being out. Green notes that the Warriors seized control of the series while Durant was absent, but his comeback instantly shifted momentum, with Durant appearing "clicking" and unguardable. The speaker recounts the anticipation surrounding Durant's return, describing the sudden confidence boost and the daunting challenge of defending the Warriors' trio—Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and now Durant. They emphasize the mental pressure and the need to contest shots, acknowledging that any panic could have been costly, but ultimately highlighting the difficulty of stopping such a potent offensive lineup.

We end up playing against each other in the NBA Finals.
We come into that series, Kevin Durant's out, you guys immediately take control of the series. Kevin Durant comes back. When you see Kevin Durant come back, he's clicking like that, we're clicking. What's the thought in your mind at that point?
It was always like a debate, oh, is KD gonna play, whatever, whatever. We get there and it's like, yo, like he's warming up and I was like, all right, all right, bet. Like KD's here, he's playing. Like in our heads we're thinking like the momentum is on us. We get in that game, bro. Like, oh my God. I don't think he touched the rim like one time. Like I don't think he touched the net, bro. Just like straight— I'm just like, yo, this is gonna be a long night. If there was like any panic, like at any time, I think it would've been like that point. And obviously like, it's tough to guard like Klay, Steph, like obviously with you, like yo, it's crazy. But then you add KD, he's really unguardable, it feels like. You gotta do your best and like challenge it the best that you can and just hope that it miss.
