This Exchange Between Draymond Green and Kevin Durant Was Incredible

Draymond and KD sit down for the first time since they played together to discuss KD’s decision to leave OKC, the infamous argument after the Clippers game in 2018, why KD left to team with Kyrie in Brooklyn and much more. Watch the full interview on a new episode of “Chips” now.

@Thrax 100 You're missing my point. I said that he is financially stable. He has a gift that helped him reach that level of success. So, that part is done for him. Most won't ever reach that level of success. But most can work towards their own version of financial stability. That could be something as basic as working your way up to a 6 figure a year career and owning your own home in a good neighborhood. That takes time and discipline, building character. And men are designed to have kids until they die. So, waiting until you're mature enough and financially stable to have kids is a viable option.

You have to provide personal time and make lots of sacrifices. KD is not at that place or point in life. I don't wrong him for that. I know fathers right now who were not ready to be fathers and their kids have a hatred for them. Yes, they provided financially. But, that was it.

Thing is though, it becomes a lot harder to have kids after you’re 30, and the risk of children having disabilities goes up massively after around this age too. So that’s why athletes/celebrities/professionals may feel like taking on a kid early even when they’re not fully ready for one.
