Draymond Green may not be healthy enough to play at the moment, but the Golden State Warriors forward still managed to grab headlines of late.
The Warriors star was signed by Turner Sports for a “unique arrangement” to join the famous Inside the NBA quartet even as a present player.
Via Warner Media:
As his schedule aligns, Green will join the Sports Emmy Award winning studio team of Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith as an analyst, making select appearances – a combination of remote contributions and, at times, in person – throughout the season. Green will also contribute to various other programs, special projects and content initiatives.

Everyone knows that the bedrock of the Inside the NBA's chemistry lies in the comedy and endless riffs between its analysts. Draymond Green didn't take long before he started clowning co-host Charles Barkley with some Warriors fabric in his background.
“Hey Chuck, you see them banners back there?” asked Draymond Green to the famously title-less Barkley.
"Aye Chuck, you see them banners back there?" 😂@Money23Green made sure Chuck could see his background after he was officially introduced on #InsideTheNBA pic.twitter.com/4F5rJVoIzC

In Charles Barkley's defense, he didn't have a player as otherworldly as Stephen Curry on his squad when we went up against Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls in the 1993 NBA Finals.
But history is written by the victors. Safe to say this won't be the last time Draymond Green will flex his Warriors rings at the Chuckster.
