<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the Draymond Green Show. Training camp is underway.

0:00:56.040 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I am back home home from Japan, and we played

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>two preseason games against the Washington Wizards, UM, two wins,

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 1>and so we are ride in a five game winning

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>street as you know, dating back to none other than

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>whooping Jackson's Celtics. UM. They're in a bit of a

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>bit of turmoil right now. Uh, not sure how the

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>return to the finals looks, but you know, UM resiliency

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>allows the teams to show their true character, so you know,

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to see the true character of the Boston

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Celtics led by none other than the young goat young

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>next greatest, Jason Tatum UM and I think he will

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>do an incredible job adjusting to everything that's going on

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>leading his troops. But that's neither here nor there. Let's

0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>get right into it. The Doves trip to Japan. First off,

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>absolutely amazing trip. UM. Japan's incredible, one of my favorite

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>places in the world. The food is amazing, UM, the

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>people are amazing. It's beautiful. It's like it's like New

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>York City with Central Park all around it. What do

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean by that? It's very you know, you have

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the big buildings. You have some of the building very

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>tight together like Times Square. Um. You know, you have

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the big city field. Fourteen million people in Tokyo if

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not mistaken, UM, or somewhere near there. Only eight

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>million people in New York. So to give you a

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>perspective of the size of Tokyo. UM, very vibrant city,

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 1>bunch of things to do, great shopping. The one thing

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 1>that Tokyo has on New York City and probably just

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>about any other place in the world is it has

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>to be the cleanest place in the world. UM. I've

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>heard Singapore it's clean like that. I've never been but Tokyo.

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>If I dropped my stick on the ground, I pick

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>it up, not dusted off, and eat the entire steak.

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like you walk you walk around outside in

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Tokyo and you don't see any trash cans and you

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>don't see any trash. It's it's like the most incredible thing.

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>Like you walk down the sidewalks and you know, like

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you like just go walk down the sidewalk. I guarantee

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>you it's some like spotted and you know it's been

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>dirty and none of that. Like I mean, it's so

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>clean and it's just peaceful and like it's safe and

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you know it feels good like I mean, it was

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>an amazing trip. And the Japanese fans, the Japanese people,

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>they're so polite. I'm sure you all may have saw

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the video slash meme like video of James Wiseman free

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>throw and where the crowd goes completely silent. It's almost

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>like um, like a tennis match, you know when when

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>when you're watching tennis and and and why the wild

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>while the point is going on, everybody's silent and then

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>once you know, once you know, once it breaks, everybody clapped,

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>they cheer, and then it's silent. That's how the Japanese

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.919
<v Speaker 1>fans were when when you're shooting free throws. It was

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>one of the most incredible things that I had seen.

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>They're they're just super polite. Um, they're not very loud,

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Like they'll get excited about the play and then it

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>goes back down. And that was a very interesting thing

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>because the arena that we played in, which by the way,

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>was the same arena that I had the opportunity to

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>win and go medal in, which was very special. Um.

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>The locker room that we had was actually the locker

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>room that we pour champagne in and still smell like

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>champagne in there. I hope y'all understand understood that reference.

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh Cleveland, Yeah, great reference, but absolutely incredible arena and

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>it's huge, Like this arena seats six thousand people and

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 1>it was sold out. But it's it's like the Japanese,

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>they're just they have a totally different way of taking

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 1>a game. And number one, there is no heckling. Uh.

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, you go to games in America, people spend

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>their hard earned money to hecko like, which I always

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>think is a pretty impressive thing because you spend your money, um,

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that you worked so hard for to ultimately feel worse

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 1>about yourself because in heckling, it's just bad energy. And

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>no matter how you shake it, I don't care how

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 1>you think it makes you feel. What it's doing in

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>your brain and what it's doing in your psyche and

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and your mood, it can't be good because you're just

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 1>sitting there heckling. So shout out to the hecklers. There

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 1>were none of those in Japan, which was absolutely incredible.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Should take take a note out of Japan's book, Japanese fans,

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 1>You hecklers, you should really try to learn from them.

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>But um, you know it was it was just a great,

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>great opportunity for us to continue to grow the game

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>of basketball globally too, for us to showcase our talents

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>in another country. Um. Rocket In was an absolute great host.

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Um And you know Rocketing is a partner of the

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Golden State Warriors and they were absolutely incredible. My friend

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Mickey and everything that he's done to you know, just

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 1>continuing to grow the game of basketball in Japan, it's

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>absolutely huge. I had the opportunity to attend a court

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>dedication where it refurbished the court, um, which was absolutely incredible.

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I had the chance to, uh, you know, interact with

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>some of the some of the kids over there that's

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>taken up the game of basketball. You know you all

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>probably saw um where I swatted the shot. My mom

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 1>my mom text me and she said, did you apologize him? Like,

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 1>apologize for what? Mon? She like, apologized to the kid

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 1>shot you blocked. She was like, I saw you like

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of like do this. And I was like, oh,

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>when I swatted that shot, that ball went straight at

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the back and hit hit him. It's actually a Warriors

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>fan since course side Um it hit him right in

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the back of the head, in the back of the

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>neck and um or yeah, in the back of the

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>head and the back of his neck. And I mean

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the ball was flying, so I turned my back, but

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I still was able to catch it, and it was

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>it was a bit rough, um, And so I apologize

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>for that. But that's why I was doing that, not

0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>necessarily to apologize for the fan the I mean, not

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the fans. Apologize to the kid. Now, I'm not apologizing

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>for that at all. That that's what's supposed to happen.

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>But that was great. Then we had Um, we had

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>fan night that same day. I'm sure you all saw

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Stephan Clay's three point um experience as I would like

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to call it, that everyone had the chance to take in.

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>That was absolutely amazing to see. Like, you know, the

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>reason that's so incredible to me is because, like, no

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 1>matter how great of a shooter, those guys are, like

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>you have off nights And let me explain to you

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that day we had the court dedication, I think Clay

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>had another appearance. Um, you know, it was a long

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.679
<v Speaker 1>process to get to the to finally get to the

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>moment that you all saw the three point contest. It

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>was an entire day thing. So you know, we didn't

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>have practice that day, so you know, those guys didn't

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>get a chance to stretch, they didn't get a chance

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 1>to warm up. It was just like sitting there watching

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff. Alreatists time to shoot, and I think

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>they gave them two minutes and then you saw what

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>you saw, which was Steph go absolutely ballistic and then

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Clay pick it up and go absolutely ballistic. And why

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.719
<v Speaker 1>was that incredible to me? I'll tell you why. It's

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>incredible to me because, like I said, no matter how

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>great those guys shoot. You have to be a you know,

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a showman to to do that. Like when when you

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.839
<v Speaker 1>when you go and you haven't stretched and you haven't

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>warmed up and all of these things in the day

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.559
<v Speaker 1>that we had and then you can go do that.

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>That's like, no, I just need to give this crowd

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 1>something to cheer about. I just need to give them

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 1>something to be happy about. And in order to do that, like,

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 1>it's more to that then just going to shoot the

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>basketball because you're a good shooter. That's like, that's the

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>thing that actually wins you championships. That's the thing that

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 1>UM actually make those guys who they are. It's like, oh,

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>there's a crowd here, Oh they want to show, no problem,

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll do that. Like that's a whole another level of mastery,

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 1>like when you can do that thing. And so shout

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>out to Stephan McClay. That was an absolutely incredible thing

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to watch UM. Like Clay said, I absolutely loved watching

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>them humble JP, Jordan Pool that is that was fun.

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>And then Jordan Pool tried to take the passive aggressive

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>role like, oh, they're only the best shooters in the world,

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.439
<v Speaker 1>but you weren't talking like that before. JP so that

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.079
<v Speaker 1>was absolutely good to see and that was an incredible night.

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Um from those two preseason games, well, a couple of

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>takeaways that I had. Number one Game one, James Wiseman.

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I know everyone's hype about the James Wiseman game that

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>he had in Game one, I thought his game was beautiful.

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 1>That he played, I thought he played with patients. Um,

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 1>he ran the floor, sprinted, he defended well, has some

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.439
<v Speaker 1>good verticalities. The thing that I was most impressed by,

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and I know no one will speak about this and

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>no one will talk about it, but it's very important

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>for James Wiseman because those are the things that get

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>you on the floor. It's not oh man, he had

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a monster dunk the first play. Although the way to

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 1>set a tone, big fella way to let everybody know,

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm back, I'm here, I'm here, now, I'm healthy. Let's go.

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>The beautiful tone that the big fellas set. But what

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I was most impressed with, and you may not have

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>been able to see this on the TV, and that's okay,

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna tell you James Wiseman, the way he

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 1>communicated on the defensive end, the commands that he was

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 1>calling out with loud as he was talking. I'm not

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>sure James Wiseman knew exactly what he was calling or

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 1>knew exactly what he was doing. But what I am

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 1>sure of is that when you hear someone talking like

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that behind you, it doesn't matter if they know what

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 1>they're doing, You're gonna feel like they know what they're

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>they know what they're doing because of the confidence that

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>they're speaking with. How loud he was, the volume that

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>he's speaking with, and so that's what I thought was

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.320
<v Speaker 1>absolutely beautiful. Um. I hope and I know he will

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>continue to keep that up. He's been able to learn

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 1>from one of the best attic in Klan Luni, and

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Luna is an absolutely incredible communicator for a guy who

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't talk a ton and didn't used to talk at all.

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Always been an incredible communicator, although with Loon we had

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 1>to kind of pull it out of him, like hey man,

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you're a look quiet, like we know you know what

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you're doing, and we know you know the car, but

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 1>we need you to speak up more. And he's one

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 1>of the best communicators around. And James Wiseman has had

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>him to study from, and you can tell he's been

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>studying and see You never know when the guy's hurt.

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Like obviously, you want the need to be healthy, You

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.080
<v Speaker 1>want the explosion to be there, the quickness, all of

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 1>those things. You want to see those things, but you

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 1>never really know how they're answer mentally, because that's the

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>part that you really can't simulate. But what I do

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>know is James Wiseman has been watching a ton of film.

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>He's been taking a lot of things in um as

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.439
<v Speaker 1>his time off has gone his rehab process, as he's

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>gone through his rehab process, and it showed and like

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I said, it did not show from the dunk, It

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>did not show from the twenty and nine. It showed

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 1>from his communication on the defensive side of the ball.

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's gonna be a very big thing for him

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to continue to get get minutes, for him to continue

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 1>for him to help this team. UH healthy, James Wiseman

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:40.199
<v Speaker 1>communicative James Wiseman, and James Wiseman who's using those God

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>given abilities that he has only helps this team win

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>another championship. And it was absolutely beautiful to see. So

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the way to play wise, that was absolutely amazing. P

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>B J has been shooting the lights out of the

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>ball those first two games. Absolutely incredible to see. Shout

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 1>out to p b J. Keeps shooting the ball. Uh,

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.680
<v Speaker 1>And those were a couple of my takeaways. Obviously, Uh,

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Clay Thompson didn't play. UM looking forward to getting Clay

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>back out there on October nine, as he himself said,

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking forward to that. Uh. You know, uh, you know, Rick,

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>who's been incredible, uh and managing all of our processes

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and and just managing our bodies, decided that, you know,

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to play Clay right away. And when

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you got a guy like Rick in your corner, you listen.

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>You don't try to overstep that. Especially this preseason. There's

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>no time for heroes. And so hopefully we'll get a

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 1>chance to see Clay next weekend. Looking forward to that.

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>But overall, the first two preseason games, I thought they

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>were absolutely fun. It's kind of crazy to think, man,

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>we just finished playing at the end of June and

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>this September and we're playing the game again. Absolutely and

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>saying nonetheless, like I said before, when you're doing that

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and you want a championship, it's totally different than when

0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you get to the finals and lose, as I have

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>experienced before. So we're back uh to and on a

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>preseason means nothing, but means something because who wants to lose.

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 1>No one ever wants to lose. So and shout out

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 1>to the young guys. Uh there's young guys. We were

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>losing that game at that second game in Japan and

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>our young guys came in and PBJ four ft five

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 1>from three. If I'm not mistaken, um you know, if

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 1>not four ft five from three last game. He was

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 1>definitely four ft five from three the first game. One

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>of the games. But the way those young guys came in,

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 1>uh Q Weatherspoon, they came in, they brought energy. Ryan

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Rollins was absolutely incredible. Dante Defencenzo absolutely been loving what

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Dante is doing on the floor. Just another guy that

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 1>can shoot the ball, knows how to play, gets his

0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 1>nose dirty on the defensive, and rebounds the basketball. That

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>was absolutely great to see. Jamichael Green another guy who

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>just gets it, understands it. Didn't quite get a ton

0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>of shots up, as that will come as people learn

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 1>figure out how to play with guys, but that's gonna

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>help us a ton of shooting ability, So looking forward

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>to That's overall positive notes for the doves leaving Japan

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>and returning home. And you know we said all along,

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 1>our training camp really starts now. We had two days

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>of practice before we went over to Japan, and over

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>in Japan everything is just kind of haywire. So we

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>get to finally lock in on camp. I'm looking forward

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to that. UM. Absolutely incredible start to it, the first

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>few days that we had and going to Japan. So

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to really lock him back in tomorrow, UM

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>for for our practice. That will be fun. Some other

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>notes from the preseason. Ben Simmons back after four hundred

0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and seventy days. I saw, Um. It was good to

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 1>see Ben get back out there on the court. First

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>first first bucket was a dunk. Was actually absolutely incredible

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to see. Um. I think Ben is gonna have a

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 1>great year. With Ben's passing ability, the shooting that he

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 1>has around him and re irving Kevin Durant, Joe Harris,

0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Seth Curry. Uh just I mean that type of shooting

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.479
<v Speaker 1>around Ben Simmons, the way he can play mate, I

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna have a good year. I challenged Ben

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to not get outside of himself and want to prove

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to everyone else what they want to see. Forget that, bro,

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you are All Star, three time All Star, All NBA performer.

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>You're Ben Simmons for a reason. Be Ben Simmons and

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 1>be the absolute best Ben Simmons. You can be funk

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 1>with everybody else talking about I want to see him

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 1>shooting three. I want to see him shoot a jump shot.

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 1>What if he can't And if he can't, oh well,

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 1>guess what he can do. And that's what I want

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.439
<v Speaker 1>to talk about, what he can do. I'm actually not

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.160
<v Speaker 1>about to go into it, but you get the point.

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>What can Ben Simmons do? That's what Ben Simmons need

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to do. Forget what y'all talking about it, what you

0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.159
<v Speaker 1>want to see, you don't matter. What matters is what

0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>he'd go out there and produced. Man average in eighteen

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.199
<v Speaker 1>seven and seven. Y'all talk about here bump stop it.

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Ironically Russell's book Average eighteen seven seven last year and

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:07.720
<v Speaker 1>y'all said he's a bump. So quite frankly, guys, you

0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 1>you're incredible because eighteen seven and seven and you're a bump.

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a kudos to you. So great to

0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:18.680
<v Speaker 1>see Ben Simmons back out there on the floor. Also,

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Murray back out there on the floor after five

0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:27.679
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy days. I think it was Uh to

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>see him back out there on the floor is absolutely incredible.

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.199
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Denver right now is kind of in

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.679
<v Speaker 1>that sweet spotty where Joker's humming. You got Jamal Murray

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 1>coming back there, trying to put the pieces around those

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.400
<v Speaker 1>guys M PJ coming back where you know right now

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.399
<v Speaker 1>is that time for them to start making that push,

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to make that next jump. And Jamal Murray, as we know,

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 1>having your point guard, um, one of your French Hose

0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 1>players back in the fold, that really makes that realistic.

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 1>So happy to see him back out there. Wishing Jamal

0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Murray hell the season, an incredible season, welcome back to

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the floor. And everyone wants to hear about these Laker rumors, Um,

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 1>what are they? Russell Westbrook almost got traded before camp?

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Who cares he didn't? Russell Russell Westbrook might get traded.

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:21.479
<v Speaker 1>Who cares he hasn't? Um. I think for for me, uh,

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers, what will be interesting, it's just to see

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 1>how everything meshes together. Um, you know who's gonna play?

0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 1>What position? Does a D play the five? Does a

0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>D stay at the four? Does Lebron moved to the four?

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Does he stay at the three? Uh? Does Patrick Beverley start?

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Does he not? Um? Does Kendrick Nuhs? Like? What? What's what?

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I think? You know, you just have to let the

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>preseason play out with those guys, uh and kind of

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 1>see how it goes. But as I've always said before,

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you got a team with Lebron James and Anthony Davis

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and Russell Rustbrook, never count them out. Gotta take them serious,

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.879
<v Speaker 1>and we'll see what happens from there. Got d Ham

0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>in their culture. You d Ham's bringing a different toughness,

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 1>bringing a different flavor, um, a different confidence. You know,

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 1>especially being a former player, a champion, you can speak

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 1>from a different place to those guys. And so I

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 1>hope the ham do well. Obviously they got my brother

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Juant over there, always sharing for for want as well.

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.640
<v Speaker 1>So you know, we'll see what happens with the Lakers.

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.440
<v Speaker 1>But stop all of Russell Westbrook talk that man is

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.400
<v Speaker 1>a Laker. They're trying to make it work, and it

0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 1>can work when you are as great for players as

0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:34.359
<v Speaker 1>those guys have, it can work. And then I and

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.520
<v Speaker 1>patch your Breverly to the fall. You're just going to

0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>win more games. That's been proven. All you gotta do

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>is watch the team's patch. The brevity is play it on.

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 1>That is a proven fact. So that is it on

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers. That is it on this episode of The

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Draymond Green Show. Stay tuned this week as we have

0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 1>a guest interview coming this week Thursday. It will be

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 1>an exciting one. Should I drop the name? Should I

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 1>drop the name? Maybe? Not looking forward to having Patrick

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Bradley on the show. First team, Oh defense, This will

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 1>be a defensive conversation, but what it would also be

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and most importantly, it's a basketball conversation because in order

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:19.119
<v Speaker 1>to play defense like that like this, you gotta know

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 1>what's going on and you gotta know it in a

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.200
<v Speaker 1>major way. So I'm looking forward to that conversation. I've

0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 1>heard a ton about um Patrick Beverley and how smart

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.199
<v Speaker 1>he is and looking forward to picking his brain and

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.880
<v Speaker 1>just talking about his journey. Y'all make sure you're tuned

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.520
