NBA star Draymond Green has been making the headlines recently for his recent comments regarding “young NBA players” on the Club 520 Podcast. Notably, Green has been one of the most successful players in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors and also has his own podcast channel, “The Draymond Green Show” as his side gig. However, Green is not a big fan of young NBA players starting their podcast channels.
As the four-time NBA Champion and all-time best defensive player on the court, Green has demonstrated his ability to be a skilled multi-crafter. He has also found success in the media world with his podcast, “The Draymond Green Show.” However, Green believes that until they have established themselves as NBA players, all NBA players—especially the younger ones—should not turn their attention to podcasting.
When I see guys doing it now, I have two thoughts. A, I like that you’re doing that, I think that’s super dope that you’re doing that. But B, make sure that you’re in the space to do it first…I love that you’re doing it. I love that you found something that you want to do, but you in year three and ain’t done sh**. Nobody really want to hear from you.

Importantly, Duncan Robinson of the Miami Heat is among the best representations of an NBA player who joined the podcasting scene far too soon, starting “The Long Shot” podcast that did not work out. Robinson had his breakthrough season with the Heat. But in the following seasons, Robinson’s play deteriorated and he was perceived as having among the worst deals in the league.
Andrew Wiggins reveals what it’s like to be teammates with Draymond Green
Over the last few years, Draymond Green has faced immense criticism from the basketball community regarding his gameplay and off-the-court antiques. However, Golden State Warriors star Andrew Wiggins revealed what it is like to be teammates with Draymond Green, claiming Green is a “great leader, teammate and a friend.”
Everybody paints him as a villain, but I don’t see that, There’s been some stuff that happened in the game, but I feel like that’s just being competitive. It’s not like he’s like, ‘I’m getting mad, I’m gonna hit somebody.’ It’s just competitive. We’re men. You get competitive, stuff happens. Draymond, he’s a great leader, great teammate, great friend.
In an interview with SportsNet, Andrew Wiggins said
On the contrary, Green remains unfazed by all the criticism surrounding him and he also signed a contract extension worth $100 million with the Warriors. This recent deal shows the amount of trust and respect the franchise has for a veteran like Green. It now remains to be seen how Green performs in the last years of his basketball career with the Warriors.
