I have the same takeaway as you. Agree with him, but he probably hasn't earned the right to do all that in a post game interview. In the locker room, with his teammates, sure. One of the knocks on him was his personality, or whatever you want to call it. He's different. For better or worse.
It was entertaining to watch last night though.
He's going to take the baton from Draymond when he leaves. I'm sure he's being schooled by him as we speak. Draymond Green on Yaxel Lendeborg going at Luka Doncic: “Everyone will say the rookie learned his lesson. What did he learn? The next time he sees him, go at his ass again.” In the postgame interview, coach Steve Kerr pointed out the 24-year-old Lendeborg's learning curve. “This was a great welcome-to-the-NBA game for him. Having to guard Luka, who is as tough to guard as anybody in the world. Having to learn all the little tricks that exist in the NBA. He had three fouls that probably wouldn’t count as fouls in any other league. But it's the NBA. He's gotta learn this stuff,” said Kerr in the video posted by The Athletic's Anthony Slater. “It's his first game. He's an unbelievable young guy, great talent. It was a frustrating night for him, but a lesson well learned, and he'll get better from here.”
