Dream Green, the core player of the Warriors, has always been the focus of the NBA. However, he was recently banned indefinitely by the league for punching Nurkic in the face, an incident that sent his career to a low point. Despite now that the ban has been officially lifted, Green appears to have shaken his basketball career.
In a recent interview, Dream Green opened up and talked about his inner struggles and confusion. He admitted that he had seriously considered retiring during the ban. He said he told NBA commissioner Xiao Hua and his friend James about the decision at the time, hoping to get some advice and encouragement from them.
As the head of the NBA, Xiao Hua has an important influence on Dream Green's career. He didn't take Green's decision to retire lightly, but made a firm statement that he wouldn't allow Green to end his basketball career so hastily. Xiao Hua is well aware of the challenges and difficulties that players will face in their careers, but he believes that Dream Green has the ability to overcome these obstacles and return to the court.
At the same time, James also sent encouragement and support to Dream Green. As a player who has struggled in the NBA for many years, James knows that his career is not easy. He encouraged Green not to give up easily, believing that his value and influence on the court goes far beyond that. James' encouragement warmed Green's warmth and made him re-examine his love and pursuit of basketball.
In addition to the support of Xiao Hua and James, Dream Green's mother also received death threats during the ban, which made his heart even more painful and tormented. As a son, Dream Green deeply felt his mother's nurturing grace and selfless dedication, and he could not tolerate anyone threatening his mother's safety. The incident also made Dream Green realize that his decision was not only about his basketball career, but also about the safety of his family and friends.
In addition, Dream Green also said that because of his affairs, Curry was also described as a bad leader, which made him feel very uncomfortable. As a member of the Warriors, Dream Green and Curry have developed a deep friendship and tacit understanding. He knows that Curry is a good player and leader, and he doesn't want his mistakes to affect Curry's image and status.
Overall, Dream Green suffered a lot of inner suffering, and his losses during the ban were huge, not only material losses, but also mental blows.
