Draymond offers Warner astute analogy for 49ers’ Super Bowl losses
“I think what people don’t realize is, and I think you will even learn this, is once you do it, you know how,” Green told Warner. “And once you know how to do it ... we won a championship in 2022, not because we were the best team. We won the championship in 2022 because we knew how. Like Steph [Curry], Klay [Thompson] and I knew how to win, and so we knew how to win a championship. Boston didn’t know how to win a championship.
“And so when it came down to it, one of the things that the Chiefs have over y’all, and it’s a hump y’all will have to get over, is they know how to do it. So in every single moment, they have something to draw from to say, ‘Oh, this is like this, and we did this.’ Or ‘The mindset now has to be that.’ Or ‘if we can attack this guy, he’d be attacking that guy when we did this.’”
“Speaking of 2022, sure enough, 2022, after Game 3 we were down 2-1 and I walk into the locker room, and I’m walking off the court thinking to myself ‘This feels so familiar’ and I literally walk into the locker room and [Steph’s] the first person I see,” Green recalled. “And I just see he’s got this look on his face like ... I stop, and I’m standing there looking at him ... and he says, ‘You thinking what I’m thinking?’ I said, ‘This is [the Warriors vs. Grizzlies Western Conference semifinal series] all over again, because in 2015 we were down to Memphis 2-1, and it felt like the world was collapsing, and we had never done it though.
“So I say ‘This feels like Memphis’ and he’s like ‘Yes! That’s exactly what it feels like …’ he’s like ‘Cool, all right, it’s over.’ I’m like, ‘Yes, it’s over. For sure.’ ... I get to Klay (in the locker room in 2022) and Klay’s like ‘Dray, this feels really 2015ish.’ I’m like ‘Absolutely.’ I knew right away it’s over, they done, we won.”
....“And once y’all do it, because I think y’all will, but I’ll tell you this, you’ve got to do it fast man, because you can’t keep missing the window. You’ve got this window, and you’ve got to kick that motherf---er in, because if you don’t kick the window in, it slams shut. I think y’all can do it and I think y’all will do it, but y’all gotta kick the window in and once you do it once, it’s way more likely for you to do it twice than for you to do it once. It’s way more likely.”
