The Golden State Warriors have built a dynasty over the past decade, winning multiple NBA championships behind the leadership of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. However, a recent statement from Teroya Eason, the mother of Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason, has ignited a heated discussion among basketball fans.
Following the Warriors’ first-round playoff victory over the Rockets, Teroya Eason took to social media to express her strong opinions on Golden State’s success. In a fiery post, she declared that Draymond Green is the only reason the Warriors have championship rings. Her comments quickly gained traction, with fans debating whether Green’s defensive prowess and leadership truly outweigh the contributions of Curry and Thompson.
Green has long been regarded as the emotional and defensive anchor of the Warriors. His ability to facilitate the offense, guard multiple positions, and bring intensity to the court has been instrumental in Golden State’s championship runs. While Curry’s shooting and Thompson’s scoring (as well as KD’s) have been the most visible aspects of the team’s success, Green’s impact often goes beyond the stat sheet.
Interestingly, Teroya Eason also suggested that her son could be the missing piece for the Warriors if they hope to win another title.
“The only reason why you guys have rings. I keep saying it. Maybe now you’ll believe me. If you had My Son, you’d probably win another, but you definitely f***ing won’t. And you can take that shit to the bank.”

While Tari Eason has shown promise as a young player, his role in the league is still developing. Whether he could step into Green’s shoes and help lead Golden State to another championship remains a hypothetical scenario.
