The champion of the “new media” movement empowering players to take media roles before their playing careers are over, Warriors star Draymond Green often podcasts immediately after Golden State games for The Draymond Green Show, which is great for fans looking for explanations after tough losses or huge wins.
When Green gets into it with a player during or after games, you can just look at your podcast feed for the latest episode of his show and you know he’s going to post some fire, breaking down what happened or going off on said player. For example:
Not only that, but Green is also already working with Turner as part of TNT’s NBA coverage, appearing on Inside the NBA in-season to break down matchups or discuss what’s going on with the Warriors.
It’s not all drama with Green, though, as the former Michigan State standout provides great analysis of what goes on in games, too, explaining Xs and Os and player strengths and weaknesses in ways that are easy for fans to understand.
You can already tell Turner is developing Green to be their next long-time analyst after his playing career is over, if he wants that job, in the mold of some of the players coming up at the top of this list. At the end of the day, Green loves to talk, is good at it and will be paid a lot of money to do it when he hangs up his sneakers.
