Draymond Green on Cam Thomas: This is Kobe-like
Draymond Green says Cam Thomas reminded him of Kobe Bryant during the Warriors-Nets game
Draymond Green says Cam Thomas reminded him of Kobe Bryant during the Warriors-Nets game. On his podcast, Green explained that Thomas reminded him of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant at a specific moment during the match.
"The strategy was, we were gonna double him no matter where he went on the floor," Green said. "We were double-teamin’ him. He came off a handoff, we was double-teamin’ him. If he came off a ball screen, we was double-teamin’ him. And when I realized the strategy wasn’t gon’ work…I was in a full-out trap, me and Moses Moody.
"And I’m like, ‘Ah, yeah, we got him close to the sideline. He boutta turn the ball over.’ That man pulled up and shot. I almost fouled him because I’m still comin’ up on the trap. I’m still closin’ the trap in, and he just rose up and shot it. I was like, ‘Oh! Oh naw! He different! This is Kobe-like!’"
