Draymond Green Articles - Page 13

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has apparently created a new drama involving himself and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Green recently shared his opinion about the Thunder’s tradition after wins where they surround a teammate being interviewed before breaking into loud barks. It’s a harmless gimmick by the young Thunder, but Green doesn’t see the […]

Oh how different things would be if Draymond Green simply kept his hands to himself in one fateful practice session back in 2022. Instead, Green decided to punch Jordan Poole, creating an awkward locker room setup which eventually led to Poole’s departure from the Golden State Warriors in 2023. Poole’s career seemed to be derailed […]

The Golden State Warriors entered Saturday’s action leading the NBA by averaging a whopping 61 bench points per game. Though they fell one point shy of that mind-blowing number while beating the Washington Wizards 125-112, don’t be surprised if the Dubs’ reserves are even more productive going forward given Jonathan Kuminga’s new role. Despite Stephen […]

The Golden State Warriors host the Washington Wizards at Chase Center, hoping to improve their record to 6-1 while the Wizards look to reach .500 and stay afloat in the Eastern conference.

Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Alex Ducas disagrees with Draymond Green, and he isn’t the only one, as the Thunder’s longest-tenured player, Lu Dort, responded to Green’s take on his team’s celebratory postgame interviews. On Monday afternoon, the starting guard addressed Draymond ahead of Oklahoma City’s matchup against the Orlando Magic. Despite Green’s view that Thunder […]

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green doesn’t like the Oklahoma City Thunder’s postgame tradition. After every Oklahoma City win, teammates will surround their walk-off interviewee. Green deems the Thunder tradition immature, which caught the attention of undrafted two-way forward Alex Ducas, who addressed Green at G League’s Media Day on Monday. The Thunder’s G League […]

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green often says what’s on his mind. It’s who the 13-year veteran is, albeit in a message to Jonathan Kuminga during a postgame interview or on his Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis platform. In his latest episode, Draymond discussed a recent back-to-back against All-Star Zion Williamson and the New Orleans […]

Still lost amid widespread handwringing on Jonathan Kuminga’s shift to the bench is the specific context that prompted it. The Golden State Warriors’ new-look starters weren’t setting the league ablaze before Steph Curry twice tweaked his left ankle during his 5-1 team’s lone loss of the regular season’s early going, but that big, athletic, defense-first […]

Maybe it’s time we start putting a little more respect on Buddy Hield’s name. In fairness, if Hield continues playing like he has in his first handful of games as a member of the Golden State Warriors, it will be unavoidable because Stephen Curry’s “Splash Buddy” has already made a major splash with the Dubs. […]

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams received a lot of criticism for his hit on Jayson Tatum with Draymond Green being one of his loudest critics. The Golden State Warriors forward was upset with Williams’ handling of the incident after getting ejected from the game with a flagrant two foul. Williams said the hit on Tatum […]

The Golden State Warriors have been unfortunate on the injury front to begin the 2024-25 season. After winning their first two games in historic fashion, the Warriors saw Stephen Curry twist his ankle twice in the span of around 10 minutes, necessitating a multigame absence. But thus far, even with Curry out, the Warriors swept […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have had a strong start to the 2024 season. Oklahoma City possesses a 4-0 record through the first part of the season. The Thunder are known for their postgame traditions of barking with reporters in unison and sometimes taking group pictures after wins, but Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green does […]

It’s been nearly 25 years since Eminem and Dr. Dre collaborated on the Grammy Award winning single Forgot About Dre. This track served as a defiant and momentous return for the 34-year-old Dre. On Wednesday night, Golden State Warriors 34-year-old forward Draymond Green stepped on the floor against Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans and […]

Who needs Andrew Wiggins and De’Anthony Melton, let alone Stephen Curry? The Golden State Warriors definitely do, obviously, to make good on the two-way promise they’ve shown through the first five games of the regular season. Yet for a second straight night against the similarly shorthanded New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State’s unique blend of depth […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder will face the San Antonio Spurs at the Paycom Center on Wednesday with an opportunity to improve to 4-0. After beating the Atlanta Hawks 128-104, the Thunder remain undefeated, which caught the eye of Golden State Warriors’ four-time champion Draymond Green. On a recent episode of The Draymond […]

The Golden State Warriors fell deep into a seemingly insurmountable hole. Playing without Stephen Curry as well as Andrew Wiggins and De’Anthony Melton, the Dubs’ exceptional depth was tested early in Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, and every answer they came up with seemed like the wrong one. Golden State had no space […]

The Golden State Warriors looked like they had all the tools to be in the championship picture last season. However, the campaign ultimately showed that the days of the core of the Warriors dynasty were numbered. After the Warriors were dispatched by the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament, it marked the end of one […]

Lauri Markkanen might have been celebrating alongside Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors, who were cruising to a 41-point road win over the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center. This scenario could have been reality had Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. succeeded in trade discussions with Utah. In the offseason, Dunleavy sought to […]

Technical fouls and Flagrant fouls are given out to players who commit to a non-basketball play that can possibly put opposing players in danger. Given the competitive nature of the NBA, it’s only normal for basketball players to lose their cool once in a while. However, the NBA is a league that promotes sportsmanship and […]

Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green is an outspoken figure on and off the court. But he’s also a sentimental family man with his lovely wife, Hazel Renee, who was his biggest supporter as Green worked to be reinstated from his suspension in January 2024. Let’s get to know the strong woman behind the […]

Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid revealed earlier this week that he won’t play any back-to-backs this season to preserve his health and Draymond Green isn’t a fan of that decision.

People can change. They can learn, self-reflect, grow and adapt their behavior over time. So when Golden State Warriors frontcourt legend Draymond Green says he will get fewer technical fouls this year, what’s wrong with that? Green explained what happened when he got his first tech of the season and why he won’t have more […]

Warriors veteran Draymond Green picked up his first technical foul of the 2024-25 campaign. After the win, Kerr had an interesting take on the call when asked about Green’s tech in the game. […]

Draymond Green has built a reputation for toeing the line between fiery and going over the top, both towards opposing players and towards officials. Last season, things boiled over on multiple occasions, as Green was suspended two times for a total of 17 games for altercations with Rudy Gobert and Jusuf Nurkic on the court. […]

So much for small-ball. Following a training camp and exhibition slate that left three starting spots open alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, the Golden State Warriors have elected to start big for Wednesday night’s season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers. Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis will be on the floor for […]

NBA history was made when Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James came onto the court with LeBron James as the first father-son duo to ever appear together in a game Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. While it was no doubt a special moment for the rookie in Bronny James, Golden State Warriors star Draymond […]

The Golden State Warriors were a surprise NBA champion the last time they opened a season by going undefeated in exhibition play. That beloved 2021-22 squad bears at least passing resemblance to the current iteration of Golden State, too, with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green again leading one of the deepest rosters in basketball. Whether […]

Following Kendrick Perkins pushing for Kawhi Leonard’s retirement, Draymond Green came to the Los Angeles Clippers forward’s defense. On the Draymond Green Show, he and Baron Davis talked about Perkins’s thoughts and felt confused. “I was baffled when I heard him say it,” Green said. “I just think as an athlete, to know that a […]

The NBA season begins on Tuesday night, and one team that will be in action is the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers will be at home hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves, and it will be the first regular season game for Bronny James. Bronny is obviously a rookie and he is the son of LeBron James, […]

The Golden State Warriors know they are running out of time to win another championship, with franchise cornerstones like Draymond Green publicly contemplating retirement and Stephen Curry entering a season in which he will turn 37. It was just two years ago that the Warriors hoisted the Larry O’Brien trophy for the fourth time in […]

Jonathan Kuminga didn’t get the contract extension he wanted from the Golden State Warriors. Frustrated as Kuminga may be now that he’s headed to restricted free agency next summer, though, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to turn the page as the regular season dawns. Not only is he surely relishing the opportunity to […]

Time is a valuable commodity. You never know how much of it you have left, and this is especially true regarding NBA players and their careers. One injury or one play could completely alter their career, which is why many players don’t dwell on when they will ultimately retire. This is now the case with […]

Draymond Green definitely isn’t stopping the Jonathan Kuminga hype train. Ahead of his all-important fourth NBA season, the Golden State Warriors’ veteran leader has set sky-high individual expectations for Kuminga, leaving him ample room to disappoint. “Anything less than an All-Star is a failure for him,” Green said of Kuminga on the latest edition of […]

Sunday’s preseason matchup with the Detroit Pistons is another valuable opportunity for the Golden State Warriors’ surplus of viable rotation players to make a positive impression on Steve Kerr and the coaching staff. When it comes to big-picture, team-wide takeaways from the Dubs’ fourth exhibition game, though, certainly don’t hold your breath. Why? Golden State’s […]
