Draymond Is going to have a GREAT career outside of basketball. Congrats to him on the TNT deal, & he might even coach a team one day, or be a GM. His mind and outlook on the game is incredible
I could definitely see him be coach with his iQ of the game. He has he’s questionable moments but definitely would be a pretty good coach overall.
Coaching is a lot harder for players GM is a lot better fit some times when guys play ok a high level it’s extremely hard for them to get the best out players because they expect them to know. Jordan is a better Owner than if he was a coach Larry bird better GM than coach
talk is cheap
@@AMGTT Larry bird was a good coach in the NBA and helped that pacer team become even better and nearly ended the bulls dynasty in the 1998 ECF
@@AMGTT Many former players end up being great coaches and horrible gauges of talent. Phil Jackson was good and Doc Rivers was ok. Jordan and Lebron aren’t perfect when it comes to building teams though. All these HOF’ers gassed up Kwame Brown too.
Draymond is the heart and soul of warriors , he is right with help of splash brothers he changed the game , those rings were not coming without him.
I couldn't agree more and I also might add I could listen to Draymond talk basketball for hours man
@RESIDENT EVIL remove draymond add kd , they still not winning rings , that will be iso heavy offence and bad defence with no good passing , for warriors it’s easy to replace kd not draymond , any good wing player with less talent then kd will still do the job , who you gonna replace dray with?
@RESIDENT EVIL KD wasnt even part of the 2015 Warriors and they still won,how? :ooo
People get carried away by looking at Draymond's stats. They forget that he's playing with 2 (or more Allstar) players. His game isn't shown on the stat sheets. His game is shown on screen. He truly is the heart and soul of the warriors.
@@TheSunnnnnnny boy you smoking on good dope
jj constructs his interview in a very systematic and effective way. no interruptions , no agenda other than getting into the substance of the topics and stories . plus draymond is a great guest!
There's literally no other way to put this...KD was tired of playing wit Russ 💯💯💯
Watching the Lakers I see why
I don't believe that honestly..When he forgot to use his burner on Instagram, he said everyone sucked except for Russ.
I don’t think it was Russ I think it was more of the supporting cast
@@Hawkeyes319 its kinda weird, people act like russ was as bad as he has been this year. dude was balling for a time
No 🧢
The Hamptons Five.... What a lineup!
Death lineup was Harrison Barnes n them 4
Greatest part about that team is the unselfishness
The chokers five.
Greatest team of all time, 4 superstars sharing the ball together, using ball movement and ISOs perfectly
@@johntookyobish6757 it was iguodala and the other 4
JJ i really love how the video element and quality of these last podcasts have been improving at a rapid rate. Such a breath of fresh air with these lovely episodes.
Thanks for watching!
Putting ESPN to shame
They was on FaceTime in the locker room talking bout the game and how kd loves it but the conversation bout him joining the warriors didn’t happen that exact night
How are you correcting the guy who was actually on FaceTime and involved 😂
@@user-lx6fj3kf3jthat’s what he said?
Was like 5 minutes later
@@user-lx6fj3kf3j cus draymond has obvious reasons to lie about it. Everyone has an ego especially nba superstars…
@@Imdondada and what do you suggest that happened?
JJ and Dray are going to be the next generation of The Inside Guys on TNT
I really love hearing true stories from players, not on writers' fabrication.
Seeing Dray take these steps towards TNT broadcasting, participating in Pod Casts DURING the season makes me wonder if we are gonna see a new model towards reporting sports. I know journalists are gonna be pissed, but then again, I don't see many playesr having the bandwidth or capacity to do this like Dray does
Twitter fans will still say the parking lot story is true 😭😭
Draymond is my favorite player from the NBA that just seamlessly transitions into the media world. I can’t wait for bro to have a bigger platform. I love his perspective on things💪🏾
This is a story of how one of the greatest lineups happened in sports. The Hampton Five! It's great hearing Draymond set the record straight on the whole "crying in his car after the game" rumor. I'm intrigued that the Warriors had their sights on Durant for a whole season. Now, I wonder if KD would have gone to them if they hadn't lost in the Finals. We will never know the answer to that question.
We actually do lol KD straight up said before if they won he probably wouldn’t have joined
We’ll never see a better starting lineup that plays so unselfishly like the hampton five
@@apt62 Jordan Bulls or Steph and KD Warriors? 😂
@@Jimmy-98513 I missed that KD interview. After watching the full interview, Draymond admits that they would have missed out on KD if the Warriors won the championship.
Woulda like to have been on that trip to the Hamptons! Just saying…
JJ, I want to personally thank you, for letting your guests…talk. Ty so much. There’s stuff we miss on so many other broadcasts where if given enough time, the interviewee will give really good details, but they get interrupted and derailed. Ty again
He needs to be in someone’s front office the instant he retires. I can easily see him in a GM role, or maybe even ownership. Born leader with a high IQ, and a low ego collaborator with a big picture mindset. Rare guy.
Well he just signed to turner
Nah. He needs to be on the tnt crew. Not many can keep up with Chuck, shaq, Kenny and Ernie
He’s to smart to settle for media. To me, that’s too low of a bar from him. Sure, he can do that and he’d be good at it because he’s a natural, but he has the mind of an executive. I see him as a GM straight out the gate or even a team owner down the line
Oh, I love that idea
@@Mark-us4ft You understand you don't get hired to he an owner right it's one of those things where you have to buy a team to own it.
These podcasts are such a huge part of this current “player empowerment” wave. I’m really glad that JJ helped give Draymond a comfortable platform to give a thorough telling of this story without it feeling forced b/c it’s a HUGE moment in NBA history when you weed through all the “in the moment” hate.
One of the best rivalries! They said it was getting boring but watching Cavs and Warriors was always a battle

Kd calling dray actually makes him look worse than dray calling him
As if they had no power in the past. These nba players are so spoiled compared to how it is overseas
@@DespicableBunny perks of playing in the basketball league that makes the most money.
This confirms what KD said. They already had the move planned before the season.
I’ve been a HUGE Day Day fan since his freshman year at State! Always loved his hustle. Didn’t see him becoming what he has!! Congrats my brother!!
Draymond is one of my fav players to listen to talk bout basketball. His IQ is on the level of 🐐 he’s so analytical n smart.
There were years where I hated Draymond. Now, I truly appreciate all he’s done for GSW. He’s done it since MSU. I hope he comes back healthy for this playoff run. He’s right too, who cares how he got KD, they both got rings lol. End of the day he won!
Like Pat Beverley, Draymond is the type of player you'd love as your teammate and absolutely despise on the other team
I simply love draymond, he's the epitome of what a great basketball player is outside of scoring, he's a winner simple
draymond's defensive IQ is mind boggling. He sees the game in slow motion
It would be nice to talk about this particular relationship at least 600 more times in 2022
lmao 🤣
It is especially fun to get multiple stories from KD and multiple stories from DG about what really happened. But there is one consistent thing to all their stories, it was everyone else's fault!
The Warriors with Kevin Durant was beautiful 😍 basketball 🏀 As a lifelong Warriors fan I was so proud of the unselfishness and perfection that was exhibited on the court every night. I knew it wouldn't last forever but while it did it was so incredible to see!
I agree 100%. then Draymond's ego sent it straight to hell.
Freals? I liked pre-kd warriors more. Especially the 2015-2016 roster. When fully healthy, they were a tough team to beat
And they destroyed any kind of competition to the title.
Ruined the league for 3 years
I love Draymond's candor, and hindsight is 20/20 because I recall being so incredulous to the possibility back when the rumors bubbled up, but in retrospect, of course he went to the Warriors. Its like there really wasn't any other choice. They're just such an interesting team.
This was legitimately more fun watching than Basketball 😂
“You saw what happened. Yeah, I saw what happened” is 1000% about Harrison Barnes playing like a bozo.
Also triple teaming steph
@@KevinTheFirefighter some how it’s been forgotten how bad he was in that series and the context with those percentages was he was being left open and couldn’t cash in. If he was average the Warriors win in 6 at worst
@@nubytv6770 people also forget that Kyrie and LBJ played Herculean-like because K Love was a nonentity for the Cavs.
Nah it's about the league pulling strings to give LeBron another ring. The "alright bet" part was them saying they were going to make it impossible for them to do it again.
@@xDreMack Not to offend any Caucasian sensibilities or disrupt any Skip Bayless conspiracies but why didn’t they just simply win game 7?
Why did they allow LeBron to make all those baskets and allow Kyrie to hit the dagger?
If Curry hit his shots the Warriors would have won but he shot poorly and they lost.
Shannon Sharpe ran with that rumor of Draymond crying in the car begging Durant to join 😭😭😭😂😂😂
😄😄😄
It just helps his narrative lol
Little did we know it was actually inside the locker room
@@criticalthought4910 you dummy he literally said he didn’t cry or talked about joining up at that time
@@f.t.sgoldtron7442 Dummy go watch the interview where he said he FaceTimed him from the locker room
I love Draymond…he is authentic. Which is hard to find these days. He is worth every penny the GSW are paying him.
The more i hear Dramond talk, the more i respect him. He seems very sincere and has tremendous bball iq!
Ask Shannon Sharpe how Draymond was crying, he would say he cried like ki ki ki come save us KD lol
💀
He pretty much did
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Shannon is a clown
I wonder what lebron sounded like crying to the nba executives for a very suspicious suspension...
I’m not a Draymond fan, but somehow I love this guys heart and he would be in my top 5 picks right now. A true warrior!!
And than there are people who don't like draymond 😂
Cause he doesn't play for their team
It's his feet that testicles hate.
@@mediacenterman8583 you made me chuckled 😆 🤣 😂
@@mediacenterman8583 Im sorry man.. but I am definitely stealing this.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For obvious reasons bro.... dirty player , trash talker, big ego but can’t score .... not hating btw
I love JJ’s content. Draymond is an incredible guest too
I love this interview ! This here called pure authentic journalism 🙏🏾💯💯
I've never seen a player completely change the narrative around them like Draymond has. He went from one of the more hated players to someone that people respect and see the value in having someone like him on your team. To me homie was just misunderstood
He also stopped kicking guys in the balls, that made him a lot more likeable.
Facts bro
@@sonabTV we see it that way cus we are fans. In his mind, he was prolly thinking “If we wanna win, I gotta do what I gotta do.” I mean in terms of teams were kinda just “bangin with em” cus they were viewed as soft, he had to show somebody could get dirty if need be. In my opinion, all things considered, it worked out
@@sonabTV this comment aged poorly 😂
Yup! KD is a Hooper!
I'm so glad Draymond clarified it, I knew they were always lying that he was crying to KD in the parking lot 😂😂😂😂
IKR!!!!!!
Listening to Draymond talk about basketball is like hanging out with your best friend talking basketball. She should have a good career after basketball
Lolol. When Dray said "We have a legit chance to get him...why? I immediately said because of the way yall play ball. The way no one cares who gets the shine as long as yall get the win. The way yall move the basketball. The way yall communicate on D. The way everyone thinks the game instead just playing. Its a beautiful brand of bball. I always played hard not for myself but my teammates. The only thing you actually control in sports is the effort you give.
Glad I’m not the only one who foresees a potential management or head coach career in him. The way sees the whole court and facilitates accordingly tells me his post-player career could exceed the greatness of his player career
I don’t know Kevin Durant or Draymond Green but I felt like Draymond imitated KD’s speech patterns really well based on KD’s public appearances.
There was talk around the Warriors about KD coming that whole season, it wasn't some idea that came as a result of losing
We just didn’t think it was possible that KD would join them after losing 3-1 lead
Kevin: you see what happened
Draymond: yeah I saw it
Imo what they are talking about was all those open shots Barnes was missing and imagine if it was KD taking those shots. Instant championship.
Draymond said lets jump LeBron 😂😆
Love the move or hate the move, you have to admit....that team plays beautiful basketball.
2 mvps, a dpoy in draymond and a top 5 greatest shooter of all time how couldn’t they lol
"Did you rob the store that night?"
"No, I just cased the joint that night and made plans with my boys about how we were gonna rob it, we robbed it the next day though"
"Oh okay that's fine then, carry on"
Stupid Example.
@@jbreezy519 Maybe, but the KD trade did kinda rob the league for a few years.
@@condorgaming4000 it’s the league fault. You never suspend Draymond, the warriors win it and Kd goes to the Cavs and still rob the league.😂
@@jbreezy519 I dont see KD ever going to play with LeBron
😂😂😂 facts
i feel like kd such a big fan of basketball he wanted to give us the best basketball ever. watching that team was beautiful like a painting and the warriors team was KD’s mona lisa
Na it was wack. The spirit of basketball is the competition, and to create an uncompetitive team like that just ruined the nba for 3 years and they know it
If he was such a big fan of real pure basketball why not stay in gs? So one altercation made him want to leave? B.S
Lmfaoo kd fans say the craziest things to defend him....no kd wanted to win easy rings with no pressure...he then went on to complain about that "beautiful basketball"
Hearing this story , I’m kind of not mad at KD no more . I feel him
Still a weak move
That's cool if u feel if it was a weak move. As long as you agree what LeBron did in south Beach was a weak move as well.
Did he join a 73 win team that went to the Finals the previous two years?
@@kx5517 Actually that warriors team lost a lot of players to acquire KD. GS didn't just add KD. LeBron Wade and Bosh were in their primes and all were top 10 players while two of them were were top5 with LeBron being number 1. Stop giving LeBron a pass for joining Wades team.
@@kx5517 would the 73-9 warriors beat the heat?
Woke up that morning, KD coming to the Bay, WHAT A TIME
Respectfully how is this getting respect. “You see what I’m seeing” translates you see that Lebron won’t be beat this is wild
How did you even make this about LeBron?
@@daanishgupta because that’s who the Warriors went up against in 4 Finals series.
Durant and Draymond such a versatile duo, unstoppable offense paired with selfless playmaking and elite defense
Warriors are such a tactical brilliant organization.
I’m guessing KD was leaving OKC even if they have won the championship that year
No way KD goes to GS had they won in 2016.
He was about to leave OKC on 2016 but is less likely to join GSW if they won the 2016 Finals.
why tf would he do that lol he just wanted an easy path to the ring cause he couldnt win on his own
@@jayh825 so you know how KD’s mind works lmao
@@jayh825 couldn’t win one with Westbrook being reckless as always on the court.
The best Podcast Channel!!!
Same way LeBron left Cavs the fist time to team up with Wade,Bosh and Ray Allen
If KD wasnt interested joining the warriors.. why would he even be having that conversation. The truth is jerry west recruited KD far before the finals..they just wanted to use Dray because they didnt want to get fined for tampering..
That mic makes me mad
Kinda reminding me of the people with their nose sticking out their mask, while everybody else know the drill
Hampton's 5 is legendary....
I just want to play great basketball with great players - That's a bad shot at OKC and Westbrook
Kd was right
He didn't take shots at Westbrook.. it was directed to supporting cast and coaching, which quite frankly understandable
@@davidtogonidze4281 I agree. The supporting cast of grant, Roberson, waiters, and the rest were horrible. It was just wb and KD
Shout out ESPN and TNT for turning JJ and Dray into analyst
This guy really is the Dennis Rodman of today's NBA, but with articulation and leadership qualities.
Dennis was a better individual defender and of course rebounder. Draymond is a better team defender and has much higher in-game IQ
@@maharajahdann draymond is what Dennis Rodman would of had to been in today's game
Used to not like draymound cuz of ignorance tbh but also I saw only the surface level game he had which was terrible shooting good passing and defense and the occasional nut kick. And he would be yelling like he’s Kd or steph. But the more off the court I hear him the more I respect and like him
"Next on undisputed... "
U know it’s coming lol
I love the transparency!
He seemed like he was capping on this answer lol
Exactly!!!
This is so much better than listening to SAS!
Dray put the deal together to bring KD into the fold then torpedoed it to send KD away
Yeah I think he tried to big bro him in the moment and forgot that KD is KD lol
I mean KD and everyone knew he was leaving anyway
@@_IsrealPerez tried? Nah he did and kd was already being soft and jealous of Steph that's y he left lol and dray is right they won before him and will win again, let's see if kd can ever win without the warriors
KD left cause of his mom. She was 50% of that decision once that happen with Dray
this podcast is incredible. Thanks JJ!
The visual of Draymon calling KD while crying because they lost is priceless….
One thing i have to respect even if Draymmond might be the most harded dude in the league, his respect for Steph is commendable still!
I was just a spectator here since under 50k subs. Just now i subcribed. I wonder that took me so long.
He said he did not ask Kevin to come to Golden state that night but called the Gm and said what we gotta do to get KD. They def talked about it.
Hampton's five is definitely the best line up ever. Agreeing with Steph that they can take on the 96 bulls.
They'ed smash them lol as would plenty teams from 2005 forward

Yes, and Darymond's clearly thinking Durant can go back to the Warriors if the Nets things goes bust
KD never going back to GS and especially if they win another ring without KD. No way no how(Rob Parker voice)
@@maharajahdann welll well well i guess GSW is thanos

I needed to here this love itttttt
As a Warriors fan, I can say that the rumors of KD coming to the Warriors started right after that 2014-15 season. Over a year before it even happened.
Here in the bay we were talking about potentially getting Marc Gasol that offseason, and then KD the next year.
Obviously, Gasol ended up staying in Memphis, but the KD thing was a real possibility.
Marc Gasol would've been sweet in GSW.
I heard that same rumor, but it was the year before when Mark Jackson was the coach
KD himself said that he was thinking about joining them before the 2015-16 season even started. Of course no one planned on them going 73-9 and then completing a 3-1 comeback against KD and the Thunder.
Nigga said “no we were on FaceTime”😭😭
That team didn’t feel fair…. Great players and great fit…
This brotha JJ got vocabulary for days
8:06 house of Hampton in the hood wth KD & Draymond doing over there
Imagine if JJ gets both Dray and Shump in another session together haha that'd be pretty sick!
Nothing like red wine to loosen Dray’s tongue. 🤣
He for sure cried but man props to him for owning up to it hes one of the most honest pro athletes out there.
KD: "i miss playing good brand of basketball" Also KD: " I like iso basketball and hero ball".
although i was bummed about the KD trade, respect to green for keeping it 100
Respect to Dray and KD
Kd going to the warriors kinda sucked the life out of the league for a little while, but they were easily the greatest team of all time
Man Westbrook really must be a terrible teamate
Russ when KD says “I want to play good basketball” 👀🤷♂️👀😂
How the hell do y’all get that from this? I swear anything to slander Russ smh.
Brooo I’m so tired of this KD literally said he didn’t like the system he was in at OKC he never once said Russ was a bad teammate. He was mad at okc for getting rid of key players IE James harden. Didn’t like that there weren’t any shooters on the teams besides himself and doesn’t like the lack of ball movement they had either. It was basically him and Russ taking turns scoring which again he said. KD gets doubled which isn’t a problem from a star but it hard because he had Andre Roberson on the team who could hit a shot let alone a FT to save his life the warriors admitting in 2016 that was the plan.
@@Nick-sr4fe K.D didn't put on a show in that series either. Go look at his numbers. He just was looking for an easy ring
@@oliverlacey3765 oh trust me Ik but I just wanted to list the reasons he said he left he specifically said he didn’t like okc brand of basketball.
Wow that’s way worse than a text from the parking lot 😆
What’s he mean by …”did you see what I just saw?” What did him and Kevin see?
If he’s talking about 2016 he just saw them lose a 3-1 lead in the finals.
They were 1-1 lol hater
@@marcosjuarez1490 I asked a question. Then stated a simple fact. If that’s hating, whatever floats your boat pal.
I hope Dray never gets sucked into wasting his time coaching
Respect JJ’s taste in Burgundy. Nice bottle of PYCM in this one, and saw an AR Chambertin Grand Cru in another one.
Need to upgrade the glass though
Well duh Kevin already answered this question on his podcast . He said he been watching golden state and liked the way they played and wanted to be apart of it . How did everybody forget the conversation between Kev and draymond came out and said this already . Lol y’all just hate dray that’s all
Great interview
I also have that same Montauk hoodie, its so comfy 🙌
You’re right, crying in the parking lot and calling KD to come save you from the King sounds much worse than FaceTiming KD in the locker room after losing only minutes after leaving the court.
You dont listen...kd called him lol
@@BasedRod u think that’s true?😂 he called KD bc he couldn’t stop him plus lebron on the other hand too so he begged him to join he wanted less pressure
