Team USA Basketball director Grant Hill recently stated that part of the
reason Green was not considered for the roster was because of his on-court
antics and two NBA suspensions that he has dealt with during the 2023-24 NBA
season. Grant Hill: "we just didn't feel that playing over the summer gives
him the best opportunity to do what he needs to do."
美國男籃總監Grant Hill 表示 Draymond沒入選美國隊的原因之一是近期的2次禁賽
他覺得:「在奧運打球時，無法提供他最好的幫助」
The way Green sees it, however, the depth and talent among players who were
selected to the pool likely were the biggest determining factor.
“I would like to believe that there’s some guys in that pool that I’m just
not as good as,” Green told reporters following practice Monday at Chase
Center. “Didn’t quite think it would be so many great players in the pool
because it just hasn’t been [that way] over the last couple of Olympic
cycles. Then you look up and all of a sudden the ‘who’s who’ is there.
“I’m no idiot. You go with the who’s who and you figure it out.”
嘴綠則覺得名單中的球員深度和天賦才是主因
「我覺得那個名單裡有比我強的，沒想到這次有這麼多優秀的球員，因為過去幾屆都沒有
這次的名單高手如雲，我不是傻瓜，我看得出來他們選擇標準。」
Green obviously was disappointed in not being selected but understood the
process.
"I,ve played in two more Olympics than I thought I would play in, which means
I've got two gold medals than I ever thought I'd have," "I'll be alright."
Green said that being left off the roster and the buzz that it created was
somewhat of a compliment in itself.
Green雖對未入選奧運感到失望，卻理解這過程。
「我已經參加過兩次奧運，獲得兩枚金牌，比我預期的還要多，我很滿意。」
他認為，沒被選上反而是一種認可。
"To even be in the space of where it has to be mentioned that, 'Hey he's not on
that list,'...that says a lot to me about me," "I don't take that for granted
at all. USAB has been great to me. To have the opportunities that I've had to
compete in the Olympics and win gold medals, I wouldn't trade those for
nothing."
被美國隊提到「他沒入選」對我來說很有意義，我感激美國籃球給我的機會。能參加奧運
和獲得金牌，是無價的經歷。
"Would it have been nice to play in a third Olympics? Absolutely. But I'm also
not going to sit here and act like if all those same guys that's on the list
was on the list in 2016 that I would ever have the first opportunity. When it
works in your favor, you take what comes with it, which is the good. Then when
it don't quite work in your favor you have to take the bad that comes with it
as well. It is what it is."
"No hard feelings my way," "I'll be rooting like hell for those guys because I
am a part of the brotherhood. Regardless if I play in this Olympics or not, I'm
still a part of that brotherhood and I'll be rooting for them.”
「能參加第三屆奧運會很棒，但我也知道，如果2016年時這些高手也在名單內，
我可能連一次機會都沒有。每件事都有好壞，不管結果如何，我都願意接受。」
「我沒有不滿，我會全力支持隊友，因為我是這個團隊的一員。不管參加與否，
我都會為他們加油。」
