Draymond Green has taken aim at his fellow NBA podcasters while also revealing how much time he has left in the league.
The Knicks’ Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart have a podcast together called Roommates Show and it appears comments are meant for the new podcast kids on the block like them.
“I’m on the wrong side of my down slide, like I’m headed into year 13,” Green said on Club 520. “I probably got two more. And so it’s important to start building for the next thing, but for some of these guys they be in year three still trying to figure it out with the podcast. Like 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 s–t nobody really want to hear from you, you know what I’m saying.”
Green has been criticised for his podcast in the past, specifically for filming and releasing episodes when he and the Dubs are in the playoffs.
But fans continue to tune into his content, with some videos of The Draymond Green Show amassing upwards of 400k views.
On a seperate podcast released this week, Green explained just how much hate he received from podcasting when he started during the 2021-22 season.
“Everyone was like ‘You can’t be podcasting. How dare you podcast when you’re playing the game, you should be in the gym,’ ” Green said on Politickin’ With Gavin Newsom, Marshawn Lynch and Doug Hendrickson. “And I just look at it like, ‘Well I’ve been in the gym so what should I do with these other 21 hours in the day that I’m not in the gym,’ so is it OK if I podcast a little bit then?”
“And so that was kind of the talk and before you know it, sports media television they’re like ‘Oh he’s podcasting, he’s focusing on this.’ And then the podcast became a focal point of conversation and so it was motivating for me like ‘You know what, I got to play great because they’re going to use this thing [against me],’ and we ended up winning the championship that year.”
