During the lively discussion, where he vocalized his personal sentiment about the tournament, he surprised fans with his contradictory sentiments:
“I hate the play-in. Just so you all know—I absolutely hate it," Green declared, only to follow up with, “It"s the best thing ever created."
When you look at the play-in and what it"s done for basketball, it"s the best thing ever created. I don"t know who came up with it, I know [LeBron James] said they need to be fired. If they were fired when [James] said that, they need their job back."

The NBA Star’s conflicting feelings capture the dilemma from the player and the fan’s perspective. As a professional player, the tournament brings extra challenges.
However, as a basketball enthusiast, Green admires the dramatic essences the play-in ignites.
Golden State will be participating in the play-in tournament as the No. 10 seeded team, bringing in a set of challenges to overcome.
The warriors woefully need two triumphant games to escalate their status to the No. 8 seed, ultimately paving their way to a face-off against the No. 1 seeded, Oklahoma City Thunder.
