The argument on who was double-teamed more, Stephen Curry or Kevin Durant on the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018, continues.

The discussion started when Draymond Green was on the Colin Cowherd Podcast.

"Steph Curry got double-teamed probably seven times the amount that KD did in a given series," Green said.

The argument did not end here, as Durant has responded to Green's claims on Twitter, saying it is 100% false.

Later Kevin Durant specified that it was only an argument about double teams and remained respectful.

Durant has won back-to-back finals MVPs in 2017 and 2018 with the Warriors. Despite Curry being a three-time NBA champion with the Warriors and arguably the best player on the squad for most of his years on the team, he still lacks a finals MVP award.

Many consider the lack of this award a hit to Curry's legacy. In the 2015 finals, MVP honors were awarded to Andre Iguodala, despite Curry averaging 26.0 points per game in the final series, almost 10 points more than Iguodala (16.3 ppg).

Tyronn Lue, who coached Cleveland Cavaliers for three straight years, including the 2017 and 2018 Finals, enhanced Green's argument.

"You've got to remember, in 2017 and 2018, we blitzed [Curry] with Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson on the floor. That's how dangerous I think he is," Lue noted.
