After Kevin Durant called Draymond Green’s Steph Curry take 100 percent false, the Warriors forward clapped back on social media.

The war of words between Kevin Durant and Draymond Green continued on social media ahead of Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Green started the disagreement when he talked on his podcast about Steph Curry’s lack of Finals MVP honors. He pointed out how Curry got more double-teams than Kevin Durant, who claimed two MVPs during his time with the Warriors.

When a clip of Green’s comments made its way to social media, Durant called it “100% false.”

On Tuesday, Green hit back.

“You have to learn to listen to full takes and not snippets before you get baited into tweeting Champ,” Green tweeted.

Green throwing out a nickname like “champ” at Durant is objectively funny. He also has a point in general. Green wasn’t diminishing Durant’s MVP contributions. He was defending Curry from criticism that suggests his legacy is incomplete without a Finals MVP.

Durant clarified his position in another tweet.

“Oh I seen it my brethren, I appreciate the compliments but I disagree with what u said about double teams that’s all. I love the show,” Durant responded.

Someone with too much time on their hands is going to have to sit down and watch those playoff series to decide who wins this particular debate over double teams.

Whatever the numbers say, Durant may want to turn down his sensitivity meter on this one.  Green started his commentary on Curry by praising Durant at that highest levels, calling his performance “absolutely insane.” It’s just not something worth commenting on.

On the other side of things, Green may have just ensured Curry wins Finals MVP if the Warriors beat the Celtics by even starting this whole thing. Good on him.
