Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Draymond Green Show. We're recording this
Speaker 1: Friday morning, which is obviously the morning after Game five.
Speaker 1: As you can see by his hat. First off, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna wear this hat for a couple of seconds just
Speaker 1: because like I should, right, But this hat is terrible. Um,
Speaker 1: it looks like honestly, it reminds me of the old
Speaker 1: NBA JAM logo and I'm not sure if that's what's
Speaker 1: happening here. And if that is the case, if that
Speaker 1: is the inspiration behind it, then all right, cool, I'm
Speaker 1: cool with that. But if the inspiration behind this is
Speaker 1: not the old NBA jam or like, actually, I'm not
Speaker 1: even sure as NBA jams more so than the y'all
Speaker 1: remember the finals NBC logo, Like, I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: given me some nostalgia type vibes. And so I'm just
Speaker 1: going off the top of the head with that. So
Speaker 1: you know that's that We're gonna talk all about that.
Speaker 1: But I'm not really a big hat guy, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take that off now. But as I said morning
Speaker 1: after Game five, Doves headed to the finals. We will
Speaker 1: find out tonight whether Boston is headed to the finals
Speaker 1: with US or if Miami is gonna extend it a
Speaker 1: seventh game. I know you may have saw on TNT
Speaker 1: last night where I said, um, we're gonna play Boston.
Speaker 1: I truly in my heart believe that. I think I
Speaker 1: think with with all the injuries that Miami has, they
Speaker 1: don't you know, guys are in the lineup if Tyler
Speaker 1: Hero isn't bad, which growings are very unpredictable, just like hamstrings,
Speaker 1: I'm just not sure they have enough, Like how where
Speaker 1: do you get scoring from? And so when I said that,
Speaker 1: obviously I know everybody's looking like, oh, he's disrespecting to Miami.
Speaker 1: He no, I'm not. I'm just giving y'all my honest opinion.
Speaker 1: Miami is just you know, Kyle Lawi's grabbing his hamstrings still,
Speaker 1: Jimmy's knees messed up like they're they're just they're really,
Speaker 1: really really beat up, you know. You know now p
Speaker 1: J Tuckers hurt. P J Tuckers never hurt. You know,
Speaker 1: he's banged up now. And so that's just my thing
Speaker 1: with Miami and why I think Boston is ultimately going
Speaker 1: to take this game tonight and that you will have
Speaker 1: your finals matchup set with the Golden State Warriors versus
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics. But before we really talk more about that,
Speaker 1: Dobs beat the Mavericks last night on onet In headed
Speaker 1: back to our six finals appearance in eight years with
Speaker 1: my loan, myself, Clay Steph lom Andre, Coach kerr By Myers,
Speaker 1: Joe Lake Up. I'm I'm naming guys that's been here
Speaker 1: through all of it, you know, and I must say
Speaker 1: this one it feels totally different, although it hasn't truly
Speaker 1: set in yet. It's just I feel more gratitude, more
Speaker 1: appreciation for this moment. You know, I think when when
Speaker 1: going through it before, he's just kind of looking at
Speaker 1: it like, all right, we in the finals now, and
Speaker 1: I was trying to do that. You know, now after
Speaker 1: missing the playoffs for two straight years and understanding that
Speaker 1: this isn't guaranteed and understanding how hard it is truly
Speaker 1: to accomplish, I feel more gratitude and more appreciation for
Speaker 1: the moment. And it doesn't make it better than the others, because,
Speaker 1: like I said last night, you just you appreciated the
Speaker 1: journey for each one of these things. You know, you
Speaker 1: appreciate um the day to day, how just how tough.
Speaker 1: You know, it is more so than getting the actual
Speaker 1: trophy and lifting the trophy up, Like the lifting the
Speaker 1: trophy up is cool, but it's the process that you
Speaker 1: appreciate the most. And that's kind of where I'm at
Speaker 1: with this. And like I said, although it hasn't truly
Speaker 1: said in yet, UM to do that with this group
Speaker 1: of guys, this is a totally different team. Yes, we
Speaker 1: have the guys that name UM, but it's a totally
Speaker 1: different group of guys. I mean, you look at the
Speaker 1: guys who contributed last night. Kavan Luni contributed last night
Speaker 1: in a major way. Kaval Luney contributed before, but not
Speaker 1: at this level. I mean, the way Loon is playing
Speaker 1: right now absolutely amazing. Andrew Wiggins new uh on these runs,
Speaker 1: Moses Moody new on these runs. Namala Bi Eliza new
Speaker 1: on these runs. You know, and and and you continue
Speaker 1: to go down the list. There's you know, Auto Porter
Speaker 1: was out new on this run. Gary Pages was out
Speaker 1: new on this run. Johnathan Comingo knew on this round.
Speaker 1: Wine new on this run. And the list goes on,
Speaker 1: nor Noring, Jordan Pool knew on this run. And so
Speaker 1: this is a totally different team. And to get this
Speaker 1: team back there, it's special because it's also the first
Speaker 1: time we're truly doing this from a position of leadership,
Speaker 1: Like what's the leader before? Yes, what's Stephi leader before? Yes?
Speaker 1: What was Clay a leader before? Yes? But we weren't
Speaker 1: the o g s. We weren't the Vets. We had
Speaker 1: our Vets, Andre Sean, David West, Zaza Barbosa, we had
Speaker 1: David Lee Bogan, we had our vets along the way,
Speaker 1: and we were the young guys. And so to now
Speaker 1: do this again as the Vets showing the young guys
Speaker 1: how it's done. That's that's what feels so special because we,
Speaker 1: like I said, we had our stint as the young guys,
Speaker 1: and now it's our stint as the guys who's really
Speaker 1: showing everybody the way everybody said we were done. It
Speaker 1: was over trying to break it up. Trade this guy,
Speaker 1: Trade that guy. I absolutely love Colin Um, but I
Speaker 1: got to talk about Colin call her for a second.
Speaker 1: Colin call Her said of Steph Kurry ever wanted to
Speaker 1: play in the NBA Finals again, that he had to
Speaker 1: leave go to State. No disrespect to Colin because that
Speaker 1: was the message from everybody in the sports world. Everyone
Speaker 1: thought that, everyone said that, and so the appreciation it's
Speaker 1: just different. We won fifteen games two years ago. I
Speaker 1: felt that I went through that. You know, we lost
Speaker 1: in the playing game. Last year. I felt that I
Speaker 1: went through that, and so we're playing tournament. So this
Speaker 1: one just feels a little different. How did we do it? Um?
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins was absolutely incredible guard Luka Dontech, everyone who
Speaker 1: switched on the LUCA did it all we can to
Speaker 1: make it tough. Now I'm saying that what the LUCA
Speaker 1: average on the series three points possibly more, You're never
Speaker 1: going to completely shut a guy like that down. But
Speaker 1: if you can make it tough on him, if you
Speaker 1: can take some of the things that he normally gets
Speaker 1: to a way, you have to live with those results.
Speaker 1: And I think we did a very good job of that.
Speaker 1: Uh and I guess they just miss shots that they
Speaker 1: normally makes. Jason Kids said, you know, like not the
Speaker 1: wait Jason Kidd put it, I'm not sure our defense
Speaker 1: had much to do with it. UM. I thought one
Speaker 1: thing was interesting that Jason Kidd said when he said
Speaker 1: the biggest the biggest compliment that we could receive is
Speaker 1: that they can't guard us one on one. I thought
Speaker 1: the biggest compliment that we received is with our zone,
Speaker 1: which they struggled with all series except for Game four.
Speaker 1: I thought the biggest compliment for our zone is that
Speaker 1: they're one adjustment they came up would only worked for
Speaker 1: one game. That's what I thought of our whole thing.
Speaker 1: I also want to touch on something else, something that
Speaker 1: bothered me as someone who's been fined over a million
Speaker 1: dollars in the NBA. As I told you all, I
Speaker 1: I wear my badge of honor. I've earned that. UM.
Speaker 1: As someone who's been fined and had several dealings and runnings,
Speaker 1: if you will, with the league office. I think it
Speaker 1: is absolutely baffling that, and I love a young fellow,
Speaker 1: Theo Pisson, THEO Pisson, who, by the way, told me
Speaker 1: he's starting a podcast is Serving, which I'm extremely excited
Speaker 1: to check it out. So when Theo starts his podcast,
Speaker 1: y'all make sure y'all go check it out. Still, Pisson
Speaker 1: is a very funny guy, and I love what Theo
Speaker 1: Penson actually brings to teams. What he's been bringing to
Speaker 1: teams in the NBA is the exact reason he's on
Speaker 1: the roster, and it's beautiful to see like there is
Speaker 1: a role for everyone, the same role that he played
Speaker 1: with Brooklyn he is playing with the Dallas Mavericks, which
Speaker 1: further leads me to what I'm gonna say, as someone
Speaker 1: who has had several runs with him, it is baffling
Speaker 1: to me that Theo Penson can try to match his
Speaker 1: shirt with us and stand up one game caused the
Speaker 1: turnover because he's in the same color as us and
Speaker 1: standing right on the sideline, And the only thing that
Speaker 1: the NBA can do is fine Mark Keeping don't care
Speaker 1: about a fine like at that point it's a joke.
Speaker 1: And so the fact that an official can't call it
Speaker 1: tech during the game for their bench been in a
Speaker 1: way and they can only get fined, it's a joke
Speaker 1: because it's actually a competitive advantage. And so I thought
Speaker 1: that was baffling that at no point throughout these playoffs
Speaker 1: that they would get a technical file for that, because
Speaker 1: that's the only thing that will stop it, Like the
Speaker 1: fine isn't gonna stop it. Hell, Mark Cuban joined them
Speaker 1: and standing on the base line like the fine was
Speaker 1: funny at a certain point with them, and so the
Speaker 1: fact that the only thing that would have stopped them
Speaker 1: was a technical file never happened and they were allowed
Speaker 1: to continue that competitive advantage. I think it's absolutely insane
Speaker 1: and I was very shocked by that with the league
Speaker 1: and to also, you know, I think they played, we
Speaker 1: played two or three more games in this series since
Speaker 1: the last time they got fined, and so pretty much
Speaker 1: what he said is okay, keep finding us, and they
Speaker 1: didn't get keep getting fine. I thought that was absolutely insane,
Speaker 1: right insane, And again the reason being stepped through the
Speaker 1: ball to theo pisson he had on a white shirt.
Speaker 1: We then saw an official accent, Hey, can you change
Speaker 1: your shirt? Last game? I'm sure he thought he was
Speaker 1: wearing a different color, and he wore and we was
Speaker 1: we was in a totally different jersey. And then last
Speaker 1: night he comes out and all black and a black jacket,
Speaker 1: a black North Carolina letterman code man, it's so hot
Speaker 1: in that Jill Mom had theo just trying to match
Speaker 1: you in any way that he can. I thought that
Speaker 1: was insane, And that's something that I wanted to technology
Speaker 1: in this series because it was just baffling to me.
Speaker 1: I've been reading a lot of stuff, hearing a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff, not reading necesaries. I don't really read much
Speaker 1: um basketball articles, um, but I've been hearing all the
Speaker 1: talk you can't help it here, like oh the Warriors
Speaker 1: dynasty and that trio and blah blah blah. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you, going to these NBA Finals and possibly winning
Speaker 1: the championship, I think it only helps. But the dynasty
Speaker 1: was intact before this like this, This doesn't like Stamp
Speaker 1: the dynasty like the dynasty Ben stamped, and it's just
Speaker 1: continuing to get better and better and and continuing to
Speaker 1: take it up and up. But by no means does
Speaker 1: this dynasty by no means does this stamp staff, Currier,
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson or myself or whoever, like we've been doing this,
Speaker 1: and yes, it's great to be back in this position.
Speaker 1: But this, I know people be needing stuff to talk about,
Speaker 1: but this doesn't like to side or you know, like
Speaker 1: get all of a sudden now like oh yeah, this
Speaker 1: is a dynag stop it being in dynasty. And so
Speaker 1: I also wanted to knowledge that now I can sit
Speaker 1: here and I can talk to you all about our
Speaker 1: game and going to the finals all day, because I
Speaker 1: think it's incredible. But it's great and I'm happy to
Speaker 1: be there. We still got four more wins, because the
Speaker 1: worst thing is getting to the NBA Finals and losing
Speaker 1: because you have the same shortened summer that the winner has.
Speaker 1: So it's great. I'm happy to be there. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: But in moving forward, we have four more wins to get.
Speaker 1: Versus Celtics or the heat. Now, let's discuss game five eight.
Speaker 1: Look like, um, the Detroit Pistons in two thousand and
Speaker 1: five verses versus Cleveland Cavaliers or something. That game was
Speaker 1: way more high scoring. My point being that was the
Speaker 1: scores back then N eighty. That just shows you that
Speaker 1: Boston is just too much because they struggled. They didn't
Speaker 1: they weren't great offensively, they only scored ninety three points
Speaker 1: and they win the game about thirteen points. But that
Speaker 1: he couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. I mean
Speaker 1: they were living off like Gabe Vincent tough twols. Uh.
Speaker 1: Max Strews really struggled to get it going. By the way,
Speaker 1: I feel bad for guys like Match Strews, who has
Speaker 1: done an incredible job of solidifying himself as an NBA player,
Speaker 1: may not quite be a starter on the conference final
Speaker 1: teams and didn't get judged by that. But let's not
Speaker 1: forget this guy makes what two million dollars or something
Speaker 1: like that a year, like and people want to judge
Speaker 1: him in comparison with the guys who's making thirty and
Speaker 1: forty million dollars like that guy. What he done has
Speaker 1: done in his career is absolutely incredible, and I think
Speaker 1: some of the judgment that is being cast on him
Speaker 1: due to their roster, I think it's a bit unfair.
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to throw that out there because
Speaker 1: I see the slander about Max Strus, what he gave
Speaker 1: you his bonus. He makes two million dollars or something
Speaker 1: like that, what he giving you as bonus, and people
Speaker 1: need to understand and appreciate that. And so I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about Max Struss a little bit, but like
Speaker 1: I said, I don't need to go so deep into
Speaker 1: this game Miami. He struggled scoring basketball, especially without Tyler
Speaker 1: Hero and going back to Boston for a game six.
Speaker 1: I just don't see it because you're gonna struggle worse
Speaker 1: on the road, and they struggle bad at home. So
Speaker 1: I got Boston taking it tonight. I got j T
Speaker 1: coming out of having a great game, Boston putting it together.
Speaker 1: And there's your finals matchup, Warriors versus the Celtics. I
Speaker 1: cannot sleep after games. Um, so I've been up all morning.
Speaker 1: Then of course Get Up came on. I watched Patrick
Speaker 1: Beverley has been on. I tweeted some things about Patrick
Speaker 1: Beverley and how he's now speaking like the new media,
Speaker 1: and my brother stephen A has something to say about that.
Speaker 1: Let me explain something. I appreciate Draymond, my brother. I
Speaker 1: love him daily. He's as real as it gets. I
Speaker 1: got a lot of love for him. I'm rooting for him.
Speaker 1: My root for him all the time, just like I
Speaker 1: got love for his crazy self. But when you talk
Speaker 1: about new media, y'all need to watch y'all self, because
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Ain't nobody you served in
Speaker 1: this brother, not from a basketball, not from I'm talking.
Speaker 1: I'm from an athletics, and I don't give a damn
Speaker 1: what player is out there. Their skills that come with
Speaker 1: doing this too. Let me make this clear. Stephen A
Speaker 1: has a way and who he is that I think
Speaker 1: is absolutely special in media. I think it's in them.
Speaker 1: I think stephen A is an original. I think stephen
Speaker 1: A created a lane that not many people can go into.
Speaker 1: And you have to track carefully going into that lane
Speaker 1: because if you don't succeed in going into that lane,
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't look good. Stephen A can be
Speaker 1: stephen A because that's stephen A. But then when you
Speaker 1: try to like follow that, it's tough. That's stephen A
Speaker 1: is a tough act to follow. Like you, it's it's
Speaker 1: hard to explain. I think it's more so kudos to
Speaker 1: stephen A, but he's a tough act to follow. He's
Speaker 1: tough for someone else to go try to copy on TV,
Speaker 1: and I think I see a lot of people do that,
Speaker 1: Stephen A. The new media is here. In the new
Speaker 1: media is here to stay, my friend. Now, when you
Speaker 1: say going from a player two then number one, I
Speaker 1: don't do this sometimes, Stephen that you need to check
Speaker 1: out the Draymond Green showing jobs twice a week. I
Speaker 1: don't just do this sometimes, baby. This is real. This
Speaker 1: is here to stay, This is going nowhere. So this
Speaker 1: is not a sometime thing. I put a lot into this,
Speaker 1: and I hope you understand that. And if you don't,
Speaker 1: that's okay, because you'll just continue to notice me, baby,
Speaker 1: You'll continue to notice me. Stephen there. But when I
Speaker 1: speak on new media, Stephen there, you got some new
Speaker 1: media and you too. Now you're not totally like those
Speaker 1: those older guys that that don't know how to give
Speaker 1: flowers and show love. Stephen there, that's not you. So
Speaker 1: when I speak on new media, you got some new
Speaker 1: media and YouTube, my friend, whether you know it or not,
Speaker 1: you halfway us are halfway over there. We accept you,
Speaker 1: Stephen there. We love you, my brother. And and first
Speaker 1: part due to you got some some of that new media,
Speaker 1: some of us in you. But the days of the
Speaker 1: old media is over. Baby, We're here. We're coming to
Speaker 1: take over. That's why y'all got Pat Bevon every night.
Speaker 1: And like I said in my tweet, for those that
Speaker 1: didn't see the tweet, um, matter of fact, I'm going
Speaker 1: to read the tweet for you because on on ESPN,
Speaker 1: they showed the first beginning of the tweet, but they
Speaker 1: actually didn't show the entire tweet. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: the tweet and I am going to read it for you,
Speaker 1: um number one, because I think it should be heard.
Speaker 1: Uh and all right it was. I mean, I'm speaking
Speaker 1: on Pat Beth. I said, Pat Bev went on TV
Speaker 1: and got off to a bad start with the CP stuff.
Speaker 1: I've watched him a lot sense he's extremely knowledge knowledgeable
Speaker 1: and well spoken. Also now speaking like the new media.
Speaker 1: If you watch this segment this morning, you understand what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. They don't understand that he's speaking of Lebron
Speaker 1: and this is about uh wind Horse saying, oh you,
Speaker 1: Lebron would laugh at you. Compare, No, Lebron wouldn't laugh
Speaker 1: at you. Mentioned in Steph Curry with him because Lebron
Speaker 1: James would appreciate Steph Curry's greatness. It doesn't. You don't
Speaker 1: have to drag like they, You don't have to pull
Speaker 1: Lebron James down and make him out to be less
Speaker 1: to say, you can start to mention stuff in that
Speaker 1: category because of his accomplishment, because his impact on basketball,
Speaker 1: because of the things that he's done. That doesn't make
Speaker 1: Lebron less of who Lebron is. But that's what the
Speaker 1: old media do because it's all about click bait. It's
Speaker 1: not about true analysism and really what we're getting into
Speaker 1: and showing love and that guy can be great and
Speaker 1: this guy can be great. Down't believe in that it
Speaker 1: got to be him over him. The new media wouldn't
Speaker 1: really operate like that. As God's better and certainly, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, like come on now, of course we're gonna
Speaker 1: speak it like we speak it because it is Bible,
Speaker 1: it is the Gospel. We are going to speak it
Speaker 1: like that. But we're gonna show love too. And Patrick
Speaker 1: Beverly showing a lot of Steph Curry and saying who
Speaker 1: he is. That does not mean Lebron James isn't who
Speaker 1: he is he is. That's just how the old media operate.
Speaker 1: This is the new media. We don't operate like that.
Speaker 1: We can give a guy flowers. And that's what Patrick
Speaker 1: Beverly was doing. And so I said, they don't understand
Speaker 1: that he's speaking of Lebron to show the magnitude that
Speaker 1: Steph should be mentioned, not that he's bigger or better
Speaker 1: than Lebron. It's simply saying he's one of the goats,
Speaker 1: because they want to say all this guy is the
Speaker 1: go that he is, and he can't be he wanted
Speaker 1: the goats. They can only make one greater than the other.
Speaker 1: They don't like them being ghosts together. We give flowers.
Speaker 1: The old heads called us off. You may have seen
Speaker 1: some of them James Worthy the other day, Katie comming
Speaker 1: it on it. They call it solve yours truly the
Speaker 1: new media. I see his growth and it's good to watch.
Speaker 1: Now what do I mean by I see his growth?
Speaker 1: I thought it was whacked that ESPN threw him on
Speaker 1: every platform to get him to talk about Chris Paul
Speaker 1: because at a certain point it went from personal dislike.
Speaker 1: It went from an analyzing the game to personal things
Speaker 1: and personal dislike and it shouldn't be that. And I
Speaker 1: thought Pat Bev learned from that. And one thing I
Speaker 1: appreciated that. Pat Bev just responded by the way, I
Speaker 1: didn't see this. Jackson just showed me right before he
Speaker 1: sent it to me, and Patrick Beverley said, I know
Speaker 1: everybody didn't like what I said about Cepp, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stand on that again, which is why I tweeted
Speaker 1: what I tweeted about Patrick Belly because I appreciate people
Speaker 1: standing on what they say. I appreciate him not coming
Speaker 1: out and saying, oh man, I apologize. I shouldn't have
Speaker 1: said that about Chris Paul. Stand on it, and he
Speaker 1: stood on that. I appreciate and I respect that. Stand
Speaker 1: on whatever you say. We're not apologizing, stand on what
Speaker 1: you say. So I appreciate that, and I respected what
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have respected if he came back and said,
Speaker 1: oh man, I'm sorry, Chris Paul, No, you said it,
Speaker 1: stand on it. I respect that. I just thought he
Speaker 1: shouldn't have allowed it to go personal, because then people
Speaker 1: made everything that he was saying more about that and
Speaker 1: less about the great analysis that I'm watching up there,
Speaker 1: how he's breaking stuff down up there. He's been absolutely amazing,
Speaker 1: and everybody just pegged him with the CP thing as
Speaker 1: opposed to listen to what he was actually saying. And
Speaker 1: I think he's doing an amazing job. And when I
Speaker 1: said he's speaking like the new media, now how he
Speaker 1: broke down Steph Curry and Lebron James, that's the new media.
Speaker 1: That's what we do. It don't have to be him
Speaker 1: greater than him. And so stephen A, the new media
Speaker 1: is here, my brother, and you special. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: we're gonna replace you, like Pat Bell said, my vocabulary
Speaker 1: ain't up there with your stephen Ah. But the one
Speaker 1: thing we do have, stephen A, and you mentioned this
Speaker 1: is we played. And that's why I don't agree with
Speaker 1: guys going up there trying to be you, especially guys
Speaker 1: who played. And I'm gonna get at this more when
Speaker 1: I'm done with these championships and I got a little
Speaker 1: more time to focus on other things. So drop this down. However,
Speaker 1: you check mark your stuff, know that I'm coming back
Speaker 1: here and you'll understand. But stephen A, you didn't play,
Speaker 1: which is why you have to be who you are
Speaker 1: and I respect it. I love stephen A. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you'll a funny story maybe a month or so
Speaker 1: two A couple of months ago I purposely picked a
Speaker 1: fight with stephen A. He don't even notice I picked
Speaker 1: a fight with stephen A because I hear stuff around
Speaker 1: the world. You know, people like, oh, stephen A is
Speaker 1: a coward and this that like. And the reality is,
Speaker 1: you have an opinion on stephen A. One't way or
Speaker 1: the other, which I'm all for. You're gonna have an
Speaker 1: opinion on me, brother, it's good or bad. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have an opinion. And that's how people are with stephen A.
Speaker 1: And so some people like, oh, man, he just run
Speaker 1: his mouth cat and blah blah blah. And I always say,
Speaker 1: you know, and people will come up to me like,
Speaker 1: f stephen A and this that and like, well, Steven
Speaker 1: and the first thing I said, I love stephen A.
Speaker 1: Stephen are a real dude. Now, I had an opportunity
Speaker 1: to pick with stephen A recently. He don't know, and
Speaker 1: I did it because I wanted to prove to myself
Speaker 1: that stephen A is who I think he is and
Speaker 1: now who people think he is, and that's a real one.
Speaker 1: So I picked a fight with him about the defensive
Speaker 1: player of the your thing. Stephen A responds to me
Speaker 1: privately and says, what he says, I'm not going all
Speaker 1: into that, but he did say something to me like
Speaker 1: you can reach out to me whenever you need to,
Speaker 1: and I says, I said back to him, I said,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. But you said what you
Speaker 1: said publicly, so I'm gonna respond publicly like I did.
Speaker 1: And I was picking a fight with him, picking a
Speaker 1: fight with him, and he stood on this word like

Speaker 1: Excuse me at J A C M three T. What's
Speaker 1: the biggest difference between this Warrior's team versus the first
Speaker 1: finals run? Aside from just general experience from you guys, uh,
Speaker 1: the difference between this team. I think it's a totally
Speaker 1: different makeup of a team, Like we have many more
Speaker 1: bigs then, but the game is totally different now. Um
Speaker 1: it's a very shooting, wing, spacing dominated type game. And
Speaker 1: so I think that's a big difference. I also think
Speaker 1: the mixture of youth and experience. UM. I can't state
Speaker 1: that enough. That's a very big deal. And the biggest
Speaker 1: difference is it's like I said, it's us leading as
Speaker 1: the Vets, it's not us being led by Vets. And
Speaker 1: we're kind of the young talent in the core that's
Speaker 1: been built around. Yes, we're still the core, we're not
Speaker 1: the young talent anymore. And that's a huge, huge thing
Speaker 1: from Edo underscored the truth at OMG, Hello, Underscore Nasty.
Speaker 1: In your opinion, who are a few guys in the
Speaker 1: league that can actually guard all five positions? Or are
Speaker 1: there any a few guys in the league that I
Speaker 1: think can actually guard off five positions? Janice um Lebron
Speaker 1: James Um. I think Marcus Smart can guard off five
Speaker 1: positions at times. Now. Granted, uh he he's a little
Speaker 1: undersized and so to do that consistently as a guard
Speaker 1: is tough, but I think he can. Um p. J.
Speaker 1: Tucker can guard off five positions. Bam out of Bayou
Speaker 1: can guard off five positions. So there are some guys.
Speaker 1: There's definitely some guys for sure. Last one from Koala
Speaker 1: Bear Murado at Koala Maraedo is there attack in your
Speaker 1: career that you most enjoyed and most deserved. Kind of
Speaker 1: different questions, but you can answer both of us. Tech
Speaker 1: in my career that I most deserved, were most enjoyed.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of technical files, my brother, It's
Speaker 1: been a lot of texts. Um the one I enjoyed
Speaker 1: the most. I think my very first one would always
Speaker 1: be my favorite. I hit three on Josh Smith and
Speaker 1: started talking crazy. Shout out to Smooth by the way,
Speaker 1: we gotta have Smooth on the show one day. But
Speaker 1: I hit it three on Smoothing and he played off me.
Speaker 1: I was my first three of my career and typical
Speaker 1: Draymond fashion. I gotta tech. It don't get much better
Speaker 1: than that. Baby. It's hard to top your first your
Speaker 1: first field going to the NBA. You canna attack. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: that's hard to top. I wasn't making no money. That
Speaker 1: was sick about that fine. Remember Richard Jefferson told me
Speaker 1: I was getting text And Richard Jeffson told me said, Draymond,
Speaker 1: I know you don't want these texts, and like it's
Speaker 1: hurting your is right now, but you can't stop getting
Speaker 1: these texts. This is who you are. It's going to
Speaker 1: make you a lot of money in this league, so
Speaker 1: just kind of look at it as an investment in yourself.
Speaker 1: It's hard to do when I was making not much
Speaker 1: money and living out here in the Bay Area. But
Speaker 1: he was right. I gotta get a credit to r J,
Speaker 1: who was one of my best by the way, um
Speaker 1: so yeah, I can't top that one. That's that's it
Speaker 1: Koala number one, the first one. I love, y'all, I
Speaker 1: said for this episode of the Draymond Green Show, I
Speaker 1: talked to you all very soon. Actually, we'll be talking
Speaker 1: to y'all before we face off with whoever we face
Speaker 1: off with on Thursday. But we'll know who that opponent
Speaker 1: will be until next time, I said. It's a rap
Speaker 1: from the Draymond Green show piece.
