Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green brushed off a viral video of head coach Steve Kerr appearing to say "I'm so f— tired of Draymond" during Sunday night's loss to the Phoenix Suns.
"Nah, it don't bother me," Green told reporters Tuesday. "S— happens. It is what it is. I don't take it personally."
Kerr declined to state whether he and Green addressed the matter privately. When asked if he cleared the air with his coach, Green replied, "No, there's nothing to clear. Like I said, 'S— happens.'"

On Monday, Kerr joked that the lip readers got it wrong.
"What I said was, I beg to differ with Draymond's approach," Kerr said. "Those were my exact words. I don't know how somebody misconstrued that."

The Warriors coach did not elaborate on the source of his frustration with Green, but a team source told The Chronicle that Kerr was annoyed with Green's habit of confronting officials over controversial calls.
Green said that Kerr is entitled to his opinion, and he didn't take anything personally.
"I don't really spend my time worrying about how anyone feels," Green said. "I think everyone is entitled to their own feelings and opinions, so I don't take anyone's feelings or opinions personally, because it's just that for them. It's personal for them. Who am I to feel a way about how someone else may feel or feel in a moment?"

In a Warriors season that has been defined by internal drama so far, Green was unsurprised that the video blew up on social media.
"I'm not surprised," he said. "I guess I would be considered a Millennial, huh? If I am considered a Millennial, that is the day and age of social media. And I know news spreads like wildfires, so I'm not surprised at all."
The Warriors next play against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.
