What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the Draymond

1:42

Green Show. Recording this the

1:44

morning after huge, huge Duves

1:47

victory over the Mavericks.

1:49

It's about toime. We won a home game.

1:52

As we know, that's been a problem roll record,

1:54

pretty stellar home record not so

1:57

much so.

1:57

That was a good Duve for us at home.

1:59

Also, crazy trip or

2:01

crazy period in the schedule, I would

2:04

say, not necessarily crazy trip, but coming off

2:06

a nine day, five game trip to

2:10

Minnesota which started off with a loss

2:13

in a game that I thought we clearly should have

2:15

won and we just let it get away.

2:20

Miami, big time win.

2:21

Never easy to go there and get a dub, but

2:24

that was a big time win for us.

2:26

Orlando huge win.

2:28

Obviously, I got ejected from that game pretty

2:30

fast, and the guys held it down that game,

2:33

which set us up for Charlotte,

2:37

which is a game we should go in and

2:40

San Antonio, which winby

2:43

is a problem, but also a

2:45

game that we should win.

2:46

By the way. I know. I said on here a few

2:50

a little while back that.

2:53

Wimby shouldn't be the defensive player of the year

2:56

and a lot

3:00

Weinby should be the defensive player of the year

3:02

because he is that amazing defensively.

3:05

But they just suck. And I love

3:08

Coach Pop.

3:09

I think I've shared that with you all before, like,

3:11

absolutely love Coach Pop. And

3:14

if I'm honest, I'm still a

3:16

little hurt because I didn't get a chance

3:18

to hug Coach Pop in the game, didn't

3:21

get a chance to talk to him before the game, and after the

3:23

game everything was kind of

3:25

going on. I got to sign Winby

3:27

jersey for DJ, which was

3:30

absolutely exciting. One

3:32

that he can hang in his bedroom

3:35

and for the next fifteen to twenty

3:38

years he'll be watching arguably

3:40

the best player in the league with

3:42

his jersey on the wall, and

3:45

so I was very excited about that and probably a little

3:47

sidetracked to get that for DJ that

3:50

I didn't get a chance to hug Coach Pop embrace

3:53

him, and that's my guy. Absolutely

3:55

love him. One

3:58

of the golden guys got

4:00

that goal together and the

4:02

relationship built there will

4:05

last a lifetime.

4:06

So I'm very thankful for Coach Pop.

4:07

And I'm sorry that I didn't get

4:09

a chance to say hi, but from a distance

4:11

and it just missed me at the end of the game.

4:14

Still salty about that anyway.

4:16

Wemby is definitely the defensive player of the year the way

4:18

he impacts the game both offense,

4:21

I mean both on the defensive end, whether

4:23

it's off the ball, on the ball. It's a problem

4:25

when you when you start driving to the whole

4:28

and like guys may have a layup, maybe not,

4:30

and they just turn out and go the other way.

4:32

That's a problem.

4:33

And that's a block shot in a sense, you

4:35

know, and no one will accounf fort that. It's like a screen.

4:38

You go set it in a screen. No one's going to give

4:41

you an assist. But the guys wide

4:43

open and knock a shot down Winby.

4:46

You drive into the lane and get a layup and

4:48

you see Winby and you.

4:49

Just go the other way. That's a block shot.

4:52

And so let's also talk about how many of those

4:55

Winby has this

4:57

year. We saw one last night with

4:59

Christian Brown and Michael Porter Junior

5:01

end up hitting the three. Unfortunately that Michael

5:04

Porter Junior hit the three, But that's a block shot.

5:06

Like an on block shots, sometimes

5:08

you get the ball back and guess what, you get it back, you

5:11

kick it out, You hit the three offenser rebound,

5:13

kick it.

5:13

Out, hit the three, right, Like, that's

5:15

essentially the same thing. And so.

5:19

Uh with what women and you know, I'm

5:22

I say that take it with a grain of salt. Obviously,

5:26

team record matters, and everybody who say

5:28

team record don't matter is a lie.

5:31

It definitely matters.

5:32

And they're not quite that good,

5:35

not quite Wimby's fault,

5:38

but you kind of had to be that bad in order to get Wimby.

5:41

And I think that San Antonio

5:43

team has some pieces, a

5:45

few pieces, not many,

5:47

but a few pieces around Wimby.

5:51

And that's not kind of.

5:52

Like a Zach Collins, right Like Zach Collins is

5:54

a fat uh he's going to be around

5:56

like and you need good vets like

5:58

that solid gonna

6:01

you know what you're gonna get every night. But

6:04

you know, you got like kJ Keldon

6:07

Johnson, you got Devin Vessel,

6:10

uh.

6:10

Trey Jones.

6:11

You know, I think I think Trey Jones is

6:13

as as a good point guard in this league,

6:15

not necessarily maybe not necessarily

6:18

a starter, but any

6:20

good team is you know,

6:22

if you're gonna have a chance to win championships, you needed

6:25

really good backup, and Trey Jones is absolutely

6:28

that, you know.

6:29

So I think they got a few.

6:30

Pieces around him, but they need to fill out

6:32

a lot of other pieces. And

6:34

and then also figure out how

6:36

do we want teams to look like?

6:38

What's the best look of a

6:40

team around Wimby?

6:41

You know, like you look at Lebron James

6:44

always gonna be some shooters on the floor, right

6:47

like over the course of

6:49

his years, you know, you the Mike Millers,

6:51

the James Jones, the j R.

6:53

Smiths, Kyle Korver, the

6:57

list goes on and on and on.

6:59

You know, when they want a championship with the Lakers, Kyle

7:01

Kuzma was that shooter, you

7:04

know, And so what are

7:06

the teams gonna look like around

7:08

Winby? And I think that's that's

7:10

an important one. But I changed

7:12

my stance, Wimby probably should be defensive

7:15

playerity.

7:15

Or what he's doing defensively.

7:19

Dude had nine blocks last night, Like that's

7:22

against the Denver Nuggets, best

7:24

team in NBA.

7:25

Nine blocks, Like, man,

7:28

that's effecting the game.

7:29

And again, Wimby's not a

7:31

liability on defense, like you're not just

7:33

he's not just getting blocks, you know, like some

7:36

guys just get blocks. You know, guys come

7:38

weekside get blocks, like but

7:41

you can pick on them. You

7:44

can't really pick on women. And dude can switch

7:46

like he's seven to four, can move his

7:49

feet. I don't know what lab

7:51

he was created in, but I need to go create

7:53

me a son in that lab because dude

7:56

is unbelievable and I

7:59

was his hell after that game. Because with

8:01

Winby, every possession

8:04

you have to like be on because

8:07

the moment he gets a slight advantage,

8:10

right like say if I relax and he duck

8:12

in the pain, guess what you done? Because

8:14

he's so he gets

8:16

to he his angles to the rim with his lane,

8:19

there's nothing you can do at that point. So with

8:21

him, whether he's at the three point

8:24

line, you have to be on because guess what if he

8:26

catches and he started raising up. Man, I

8:28

had a couple of contests on Winby threes, and

8:31

I'm talking about they were monster contests. Like I'm

8:33

pretty good at contesting jump shots. That's

8:35

one of my specialties on the defensive

8:37

end. I come up with some blocks on threes. Like Man,

8:40

I had a couple monster contests on

8:42

Winby. I was nowhere near the ball, and

8:44

I thought that that was very interesting. So with

8:47

Winby at all points,

8:49

at all times, no matter where he is on the floor,

8:51

you have to be on and

8:53

that is tiring as hell. And

8:56

so I was exhausted after that game. Nonetheless,

8:59

that was a big time win for us. Uh

9:01

and then we go to you know, come

9:04

back Home, which leads us to last

9:06

night, a huge win over

9:08

the Mavericks one o four to one hundred two

9:10

way. Wigs was in the

9:13

building in a major way, twenty

9:15

three points on eight for sixteen and three for five.

9:17

I'm still pissed that Wigs. Why am I

9:19

pissed that Wigs?

9:20

Because Wiggs came out aggressive

9:23

and then there was a couple of possessions right after

9:25

the first couple of shots, he missed that he came

9:27

off screen and he was like, who

9:30

do I.

9:30

Need to pass the ball. No, you go shoot the ball.

9:33

We need Wigs scoring, We need

9:35

Wigs aggressive, the pressure he puts on the rim,

9:37

the way he's been shooting the ball lights out and

9:41

then picking and while doing that, picking up

9:43

Luca full court the whole game, the

9:46

entire game, picking him up full court, not switching,

9:49

getting over screens, fighting batin and

9:52

Luca's great.

9:52

You know, we know how great Luca is.

9:55

And Wiggs took on that challenge and had a big game

9:58

for us, yours truly what he left eight

10:01

six and four steals. Hey

10:03

man, that's ten steals in two games. I

10:06

feel really good about myself.

10:08

You know.

10:08

It's that time of year where

10:13

you kind of gotta come alive, like it's

10:15

the most fun time of year. And I

10:17

love it. I love this time. Big

10:20

block down a stretch, tough play

10:22

there. When you got Kyrie Irving

10:24

coming downhill at you, it's a scary sight. And

10:26

not a scary sight in the sense of like, oh, Kyrie's

10:29

about to take off and dunk on you, but

10:31

a scary sight in the sense of, like Kyrie, as

10:33

I said a couple of weeks ago, Kyrie has every

10:36

shot in basketball. You know, we

10:38

saw the lefty running hook right like he

10:41

has every shot in basketball, mid range,

10:43

floater to the cup, best finisher, incredible

10:47

finisher, he has every

10:49

shot. And so when he's coming downhill

10:51

at you with a love threat like Daniel Gotford, what

10:53

do you do? And

10:56

so for me, obviously you're trying

10:58

to cut him off. You're trying to too, but with Kyrie,

11:01

you you kind of have to commit because

11:03

if not, he like he tricking

11:06

you, like you trying to trick him. And he got the

11:08

ball, so ultimately you

11:11

know what he's trying to get to. He's good enough

11:13

to get to it. And so if you go back

11:16

and watch the play, I had to step all the way up

11:18

to stop him. But the way my feet

11:20

are angled, my feet are angled as such

11:22

to where I'm cutting off one side of the floor,

11:24

so the side that he's going to, which

11:26

if you're dribbling the ball and

11:28

you're Kyrie, it is the left side of the floor.

11:30

If you're me and you're defending it, it's the right

11:33

side of the floor. But I cut that whole side

11:35

of the of the court off with my feet

11:37

so that Kay couldn't continue going that way,

11:40

and to essentially kind

11:44

of force him back towards where Daniel Gafford

11:46

is on the baseline. Well,

11:49

for me, once I see Kyrie picks

11:51

up the ball and go to pass, there's no

11:53

added extra movement right

11:56

like because of my foot position, that's

11:58

just one drop step and jump.

12:00

I'm jumping at the same time as Daniel Gaffer.

12:02

Now, if I'm being totally honest with you, in that situation,

12:06

it's Daniel Gaffer.

12:07

It's not Kyrie Irving, it's not Luka Dante.

12:09

And what I mean by that is Daniel

12:12

Gaffer's a sixty nine percent free throw shooter.

12:15

He's not ninety like Kyrie Irving

12:19

and Luca maybe seventy some percent,

12:21

but it's Luca. He's not missing free

12:23

throws in the clutch. And so

12:26

my mindset right there is I'm helping

12:28

on Kyrie and I'm giving this drop

12:30

up up to Gaffer. Now

12:33

in order for him to get to the rim, he got to come

12:35

back through me.

12:35

So I understand that.

12:38

But a key thing in that position

12:40

is I am in perfect position to file

12:44

and so when I go up in that moment,

12:47

I'm thinking, all right,

12:49

I'm jumping, I'm not giving up an an

12:51

one. So if I don't feel like I have an advantage

12:53

to affect a shot, block

12:56

the shot, which I did, but not even necessarily blocked

12:58

shot. Affect the shot to where Daniel Goffer

13:00

has to make the shot, and not a dump. If

13:02

I can't do that, I'm folling. So I'm

13:04

in perfect position to file, which for me

13:07

is money. Once I jump, I then

13:09

make the decision. I can get it right, and I

13:11

get the block, get the rebound,

13:14

and we're off to the races. And

13:17

then you know, down the stretch the

13:20

ball was in my hand. How about that? And you

13:22

know made a couple of plays down the stretcher to

13:24

close the game out. But really

13:26

big time win for us, especially with the

13:29

Rockets coming out to play. They

13:33

have loss a couple in

13:35

a row, and you

13:38

know, three games behind with

13:41

seven games left, and you're

13:43

losing the tiebreaker. So four

13:45

games behind in a sense with

13:48

seven to go, my

13:50

math serves me correctly, tomorrow

13:53

will be an opportunity to end their season their

13:57

playoff hopes. If my math serves

13:59

me directly, maybe there would be one more game.

14:02

I haven't looked that up. That's

14:04

just some rough math.

14:09

For you. Math genis is out

14:11

there.

14:11

That's gonna be like, no, they're not mathematically

14:14

eliminated, and you like, great

14:17

almost But anyway,

14:19

so looking

14:21

forward to that game. Obviously, big game in Houston.

14:24

We're a custom the big games in Houston. It'll be

14:26

fun and we got the mini God on our side

14:28

this time. So uh that

14:31

is Chris Paul for those of you who are wondering.

14:33

So definitely looking forward to that game tomorrow.

14:35

It'll be a fun game. Those young guys are playing

14:37

well. Jalen Green is playing out of his mind,

14:41

looking like the Jayleen Green that everybody thought

14:43

was coming into the NBA when he came in.

14:44

He's taking that next leap and it is looking

14:47

very prominent.

14:48

So you know, they got the vet

14:52

freddie V running the show, a

14:55

bunch of young guys getting after it, and so BI

14:58

a big game, fun game, but

15:02

one that I feel totally confident that we

15:05

should be able to go get if we come in and play

15:07

our brand of basketball. But a

15:09

big time, big time win for

15:11

us, and

15:16

you know, five game win streak, which

15:19

comes at the right time. So looking

15:22

forward to that. In other news, a

15:25

guy who I got respect for, and so

15:27

I'm not gonna sit here and like slander because

15:30

I got respect for

15:32

for the matrix. But Shan Marion, my

15:36

man, my brother,

15:39

you asked for it, so let's

15:42

talk about it. On Club five twenty.

15:44

Shout out to Club five twenty. I went on Club

15:46

five twenty Jeff T and

15:49

the guys.

15:53

I enjoyed being on Club five twenty, and quite

15:55

frankly, our interview wasn't long enough.

15:56

So maybe I'll go back one day if they'll have me back.

15:59

But that was a fun as podcast to do, and

16:01

I enjoyed it, so we'll

16:04

see. However, that's one of the great

16:06

ones out there in the world of podcasts

16:09

everywhere.

16:09

That is one that is fun. It's funny,

16:12

it's.

16:14

You learn different things like I saw the

16:16

other days talking about different rough rees,

16:18

like you're getting an unfiltered Jeff

16:20

TG which nobody.

16:22

In the league knew they or in the world knew

16:24

they needed UH.

16:26

But the world needs Jeff tag and what

16:28

and what those guys is bringing UH

16:30

to the landscape, to the media landscape.

16:33

It's absolutely incredible to watching fun

16:36

And Sean Marion goes

16:38

on Club five twenty.

16:40

And he says, Draymond, I think I

16:42

love his tenacity, love his energy, love

16:44

his heart, but I still think I'm also

16:47

the way better defendent than he was. And the reason

16:49

I say that is because when I had to guard

16:51

point guard point, when when I actually guarded

16:53

you, I.

16:54

Guard you for the whole game. I didn't.

16:56

It wasn't no, no, no, a few

16:58

minutes here and there or trying to spread some I

17:00

guarded. I locked in with you guys for the whole game.

17:02

And like most guys ain't doing that.

17:05

So it's easy for and it's way

17:09

simpler for guys to do with every possession

17:11

and switch. Everybody switched now. But I mean

17:13

I can guard somebody for a quarter, It's easy to do

17:15

that. Let me guard that guy for the whole game. Though

17:17

most guys is not doing it. I'm the only person ever

17:19

in NBA history to do.

17:20

That in one playoff series

17:22

on the way to my fourth championship.

17:28

I guard it.

17:32

I don't even remember the first round. Who

17:35

did we play in the first round, Jackson? You remember who

17:37

we played in the first round?

17:38

Denver Nuggets? No, Jamal Murray?

17:40

Okay, So who do we play in the second

17:42

round.

17:45

Or was that the second round? I think that was the

17:47

second round?

17:48

Then Dallas was the Dallas was the

17:50

conference Finals Grizzlies.

17:52

Ah that's right. Ah,

17:55

there it is.

17:57

So in one playoff series, by the way, guys,

17:59

you ever world not winning

18:02

championship and no one cares. It's hard

18:04

to even remember that. So remember

18:06

that for those of you out there celebrating second

18:09

places. So

18:14

in one playoff

18:16

run on the way to my fourth championship,

18:22

you got me Garden.

18:24

Joker didn't

18:26

shut Joker down by any stretch of imagination.

18:29

But you can bet your bottom dollar makes a huge

18:31

difference. When you don't have to double, you

18:34

keep bodies on bodies, you neutralize

18:36

the rest of the guys. Game

18:39

win is still game still

18:41

and still that series

18:44

by no.

18:44

Means that I locked Joker. I'm not saying that,

18:48

but.

18:49

I think Joker respected the defense that was

18:52

played on Okay, Jared

18:56

Jackson, young athletic

19:00

big who can step out and shoot the three, All

19:02

Star Jaylen

19:06

Bronson, And don't tell

19:09

me, oh that was Jalen for Dallas, because that same

19:11

Jayalen four months later went

19:13

and took the Knicks by storm Jyalen

19:16

Bronson, All Star Jaylen

19:21

Brown in the NBA

19:23

Finals All Star.

19:27

Those were my matchups for the series. So

19:31

to say I can guard a guy for a

19:33

game, what about a series? And by the

19:35

way, I don't think Sean Marian couldn't

19:38

guard a guard for a series. But

19:44

the proof is in the pudding and the film

19:46

is right there. Need

19:49

I say more. I've

19:51

gone into games and guarded guards

19:53

my entire career when I've needed to, so

19:57

you know, I get what

19:59

he was getting that or trying to get

20:01

at. But you actually gotta watch the clips, watch

20:04

the film. Don't watch the clips, watch the film,

20:07

and then what I do off the ball is totally

20:11

different thing. I'm

20:13

not sure many people in the NBA can affect

20:15

the game how I can affect the game defensively

20:18

off the ball. So with

20:21

all due respect to Sean Marion and his

20:23

defensive capabilities, because I

20:26

again think Sean Marion was a great

20:28

defender. It

20:33

ain't only you, my man. It

20:35

is not only you. Maybe

20:38

it was before me, but

20:41

not since me, and it won't be

20:43

after me. It ain't only you. So

20:47

for you make statements like that, you

20:49

gotta check the tape. You gotta

20:52

have some facts, because the facts

20:54

are right there, and I don't need to go elsewhere,

20:57

you know, I don't need to go to like at

21:00

times I had to guard CJ McCallum

21:03

when we were playing Portland and times

21:06

I had to guard Chris Paul when we were playing. He was

21:08

like, I don't need

21:10

to go into all those things. I'm gonna just go right there.

21:12

Series wins which led to

21:15

my fourth championship. So shout

21:17

out to the Matrix. Would

21:19

love to have him on the show if he want to come on.

21:23

No Ill will here.

21:25

But the facts are the facts

21:28

in other news before

21:30

we take some questions

21:34

live here on the br app

21:37

shout out to the br team.

21:41

Joe L and B returned from

21:43

a two month absence and he played

21:45

twenty nine minutes, had twenty four

21:48

six boards, seven assists, three

21:50

steals, and six turnovers.

21:55

I must say I was very shocked for

21:57

Joe to come back. And the reason

21:59

I was very come back in game seventy

22:01

six after missing thirty games or whatever that

22:04

number was. And they're

22:07

now forty one and thirty five. And I

22:09

saw something last night that said their record

22:11

is fourteen and twenty seven without Joel, meaning

22:16

the chances that that team is

22:19

going to win a championship is very

22:21

slim. And to me, some of the moves they made

22:23

at the deadline was kind of like, you

22:25

know what, we're throwing in a tie. This

22:27

season ain't gonna work out. Let's

22:30

start focusing on next year. And to see Joel

22:32

come back with that big knee break

22:34

song was pretty surprising to me. Needless

22:38

to say, what I do know is Joel just love playing

22:41

basketball. So any chance that Joelle can play

22:43

basketball, he going to play basketball.

22:46

But I was pretty shocked to see

22:48

Joe come back off the meniscus

22:50

injury.

22:53

At this point in the season where they're now in.

22:55

The playing spot, and like, I

22:57

don't necessarily think they have

23:00

the roster to compete at a high level, you

23:02

know, so it could be just.

23:04

Kind of his way of tuning up for the Olympics. I don't

23:06

know, but I

23:10

was shocked by that.

23:10

Nonetheless, he looked good, uh

23:13

and obviously you can see some of his movements

23:15

are off and like little ginger

23:17

going this way and stopping and different things

23:19

like that, which all takes time. I did

23:21

see something Joel said in his interview which

23:25

was interesting to me. He said this would be the hardest

23:27

game I had, And I disagree with that, because

23:30

when you come back from injury, you kind of have a

23:32

couple of games where you like this and then you dank

23:35

for like a couple two or three games because

23:38

it's no longer adrenaline, right like now

23:41

you just playing off of and Joel's great,

23:43

So like maybe Joel won't go through the same thing

23:45

I went through and most

23:47

people go through. And it's not even

23:49

necessarily that his game will go through that, because Joe's

23:51

a scorer. He's going to score the basketball. But he'll

23:54

feel it. And so even if it doesn't show

23:56

to you necessarily, he'll feel it because

23:58

you kind of like hit the spool and then you for

24:00

me and then you start to level out,

24:03

and and so it'll

24:05

be interesting to see how he's feeling, you

24:08

know, moving on, you

24:10

know, the next three games or so, how

24:13

that starts to change and where that goes.

24:15

But I was very.

24:19

Very surprised to see them or

24:21

see him back out on the floor.

24:23

Nonetheless, always great to have the greats

24:25

on the floor, and so

24:27

good to.

24:28

Have Joe l back.

24:30

Obviously, he brings something to the league that's different

24:32

than what anyone else brings. And

24:34

you know, uh, he takes that team from

24:36

a non playoff team to a

24:39

contender in a sense. And

24:42

so shout out to Joe.

24:44

It's good to see him back surprised.

24:46

But that's that. Before

24:49

we get to the mail back question, I have

24:51

to say.

24:54

Or just speak on Caitlin Clark

24:56

uh taking down LSU coming back

24:59

forty one and twelve. UH after being

25:01

defeated by that team last year, opportunity

25:04

to go back to the final four, and Kaitlyn came out

25:06

and got it done, dominated the game, took

25:09

her team back to the final four. And

25:13

the question out there is is she the

25:15

best offensive player

25:18

college player ever? I

25:21

mean, I saw Steph

25:23

Curry play in college and

25:26

so you know Steph

25:29

was different. Needless

25:31

to say, Caitlyn is a problem. Uh

25:34

she I know there's like this

25:36

talk of big three in w n

25:38

B A and how she gonna She's gonna

25:40

be really good at a w NBA right away

25:42

because the way she shoots the ball, the

25:44

way she passes the ball, and get everybody involved.

25:47

She's gonna she's gonna come in with a Leah Boston

25:49

who's also gonna uh

25:52

take on double teams. And if you help

25:54

off the wrong person and then and

25:57

usually there's someone you can help off of on the

25:59

teams, but once you start helping off that person,

26:02

if I am the Indiana Fever coach, I'm

26:04

going to watch film of the go To State Warriors. What

26:06

do they do when teams double team off non

26:08

shooters. I need to

26:10

know all of these things going into the season because

26:12

I need to take full advantage of Kaitlyn Clark

26:15

and her abilities and how defense is

26:17

going to react to her.

26:18

And so that was great to watch

26:21

Yu Khan and Yu

26:24

Khan.

26:25

We had this conversation earlier this year Hilton Armstrong's

26:27

on our staff, Rudy Gay. Rudy

26:30

Gay was in camp with us and

26:33

we were talking about blue blood's, like who's the

26:35

blue bloods in America? And He's like, Yu kind of

26:37

blue blood? We like, hell no, Rudy, Yukon a you

26:39

know, blue blood. The reality is, if you look at Yu

26:41

Khan's resume, they are definitely

26:44

in that blue blood territory and if you ask

26:46

me, they're still not a blue blood.

26:48

But if they win this championship, y'all are blue

26:50

blood.

26:51

But both teams Yukon women,

26:54

Yukon men in the final four, as

26:57

is North Carolina State men and North

26:59

Carolina State Women.

27:02

I think Yukon is winning

27:04

it all.

27:05

The way that they're playing on the men's

27:07

side, I think they're winning on I don't

27:09

see anybody beating them.

27:14

Everybody talking about they will beat the Detroit Pistons,

27:17

they'll they'll probably beat the depleted Detroit

27:20

Pistons. That's playing like seven

27:22

two way guys, I mean seven G League

27:24

call ups in ten days. But the

27:27

real Detroit Pistons that was at the beginning

27:29

of the season. You kN not beating

27:31

that team. Sooping still the NBA and

27:34

that ain't happening. But this current

27:36

version with Isaiah Stewart out

27:39

and this guy out and walk

27:41

down of his trader and Alec BUR's going and

27:43

you name it, Yeah, they'll probably beat those guys.

27:46

Maybe not, but they

27:48

got a chance.

27:50

But yes, I'm

27:52

picking Yukon And then shout out to

27:54

young Juju. Juju went

27:56

out there this season, got it done,

27:59

twenty having the game, took her team to

28:01

the lead eight freshman.

28:04

I'm looking forward to watching the face of women's

28:06

who as this thing continue

28:09

on. So shout out to jew keep putting the work

28:11

in, Juw. I love the emotion after

28:13

the game. It should hurt. It should

28:16

hurt because next year when you up there

28:18

hoisting that trophy, you look back

28:20

on that moment and you felt that pain,

28:22

you went through that pain, and

28:24

because you went through the pain and not around the pain,

28:27

you get rewarded for that. So

28:29

obviously still got to put the work in. I have zero

28:32

doubt in my mind that Jew gonna put the work

28:34

in. But Juju

28:37

is a problem. So shout out to Jew. Great

28:40

season. Also great to see Page

28:42

back out there doing what Page does, making

28:45

big shots, big moments. Absolutely

28:49

lovely to see. Love to see whether women's

28:51

game is going, But

28:53

shout out to them. I was super dope before

28:56

we get out of here, Jackson, you got a few questions.

28:57

For us, Yes, sir, I do. Let's

29:00

start it out with from at

29:03

Lord Flock. Hey, Draymond,

29:05

I'm not sure if you saw, but Stefan Diggs was

29:07

just traded from the Bills to the Texans

29:10

for a second round pick.

29:11

What is your take?

29:12

That just happened right now, like it happened

29:14

when.

29:15

We started recording, basically right when we started recording.

29:17

It's fire. Stefan Diggs

29:19

is a Hall of Fame wide receiver and

29:24

to get him paired up right now with a

29:26

young CJ. Stroud who just took his

29:28

team to the playoffs. With

29:30

that defense that the Texans got with that

29:32

head coach. I love it. I

29:34

love it. Not

29:37

sure how much Stefan Diggs has left

29:39

in the tank. I think Stefan Diggs has a bunch

29:41

left in the tank. But I have seen those questions

29:43

on uh NFL talk

29:46

shows like what does he have left in the tank and

29:48

blah blah blah

29:51

Stefan Diggs, I

29:53

think you know, number one, he's

29:55

he can play in the slot. So if

29:58

you're playing in the slot, he can still

30:00

go be dangerous there. And you know, we know

30:02

he can take the top off. So I'm

30:04

looking forward to that. I think that's fire. But

30:08

what that also says is the Buffalo bills

30:10

are done every

30:13

now and then you have a window and when

30:15

that window opens, if

30:18

you don't step through it, it shuts. And

30:20

that's what just happened to Buffalo. They got rid

30:22

of a bunch of key players. They're

30:24

getting rid of huge weapons, and

30:28

I mean big time weapons. Like

30:32

so it's over for Buffalo. They

30:34

will return back to NFL

30:36

purgatory and

30:39

not be that good, and they'll win some games, because

30:42

they'll win some games. But

30:44

what as great as that is for

30:46

the Texans, they just pluck the

30:48

guy off an AFC team

30:51

and that AFC team is done.

30:53

So that's my thoughts on that. Not a football

30:56

expert, don't claim to be know a little

30:58

bit about football. I love football a

31:00

bunch of football, so I think I know a little

31:02

bit.

31:03

But that's my take.

31:07

Next one from at Long

31:09

Long Live Yellow

31:11

five. If Wiggs keeps playing like this,

31:13

are we back to being a title threat?

31:16

I mean, we got to get in the playoffs first, so I don't want

31:18

to get too far ahead of ourselves

31:21

because we got a lot of.

31:22

Work to do just to get into playoffs.

31:25

But once we get into

31:27

playoffs, I always

31:29

think we're a title threat. With the pieces

31:31

that we have in Florida experience, I

31:34

don't ever doubt that we're a title

31:36

threat. And we explained that basketball.

31:39

Wiggs have to play that basketball in order for

31:41

us to be that. So yes,

31:46

for sure, But

31:50

first things first, let's just get in the playoffs

31:52

first.

31:54

All right, we'll do one more question, but before that, just

31:56

a reminder to everyone to subscribe to the YouTube

31:58

channel YouTube dot com slash at Draymond

32:01

Green Show. We have an amazing interview

32:03

dropping next week.

32:04

You do not want to miss fire.

32:06

I promise you do not want to miss

32:08

last question from at Asia

32:10

B. Can Wemby become a top five

32:13

player of all time?

32:15

Can Wemby become a top five player all time?

32:17

That's such a subjective thing because

32:20

you start getting into like Whoop

32:22

Chamberlain or you know, like people

32:25

start going way back on Bill Russell, like

32:27

and so I'm not going to sit here and talk

32:30

about the top five player all time? Like again

32:33

with with with with Wemby's tools

32:35

and his love for the game, the sky is the limit?

32:39

Uh special special

32:41

special? Can

32:44

he be? Yeah?

32:45

I mean he has the tools. Uh,

32:49

but that's such a far far

32:51

fetched thing, like top five all

32:53

time? But Winby is a

32:55

problem and as you all know, I don't really.

33:00

I'm not a hater.

33:00

I give credit where credit is due, but it ain't easy

33:03

to get credit for me. But Wimby Wemby

33:06

is a special breed, and so can

33:08

he be top five? I guess technically yes?

33:11

But what is top five?

33:12

Right? Like?

33:13

My top five is this? Your top five?

33:15

Is that Jackson's top five

33:17

is here?

33:17

In phase? Top five is over there? Like? Who

33:21

what is the top five? Like? Wimby

33:24

can be absolutely.

33:25

Special and he can be

33:28

mentioned when it's all said and done,

33:30

if he does it the right way, which I have no

33:33

doubt he will, he will be mentioned

33:35

with the greats for sure. Top

33:37

five What is the top five that

33:42

is a rap? On this episode of The

33:44

Draymond Green Show. Always appreciate
