He's got it all. He's got the on-court presence as an All-NBA-caliber player with a bevy of experience on championship teams, bottom feeders and everything in between. He's got the swagger and the braggadocious attitude, at times, and he's never afraid to mouth off when appropriate. He'll talk to anyone and everyone around the NBA, and everyone respects him enough to do the same. He'll speak his mind angrily, happily, passionately, intelligently or with whatever emotion the situation calls for. He's got more IQ than most anybody in today's game.
And when it comes to his outfits, Draymond Green is on the Craig Sager path to greatness... but more importantly, his takes are pretty good too.
Heck, as evidenced from the clip above, he's even got subtle jabs at his own team. That Curry-Klay-KD-Draymond Warriors offense was no slouch, but Green has been a part of it and he sees a whole different monster in what Brooklyn is bringing on the court.
It's these kinds of takes, along with insightful analysis — he later broke down some of the Nets' first-half offense against the Celtics during the halftime show — that has Twitter abuzz with praise for just how smoothly Green has transitioned into an analyst role and how he likely has a spot locked up as soon as he decides to call it quits.
The small section of the NBA Twitter community that wasn't commending Draymond for his thoughtful and well-articulated opinions and perspectives on playoff basketball action was still talking about Draymond. They just couldn't get past his jacket.
He's only 31 years old and still has a few years left on his deal, so Golden State Warriors fans don't need to worry about him jumping ship for the broadcast booth or the "Inside the NBA" table. But it's nice to see him excelling at something already so that he can make an easier move once his playing days are over. After all, he could use a little bit of extra money considering he has piled up a light $889 thousand in fines (so far) throughout his illustrious career.
