Four-time NBA champion Draymond Green says that he doesn’t have any hobbies and is embracing quality time with his children during the offseason.
“I don’t really got no hobbies, man,” he told Andscape. “I spend a lot of time with my family and my kids. That s— teaches you a lot about yourself dealing with them kids. You know what I learned dealing with my kids? Dealing with them you learn, ‘Oh, s—, I do that. Like, I need to do this differently because they get that, too.’ And so, spending a lot of time with my kids has taught me so much about myself.”
Green, known for involving his kids in his professional life, sees it as a valuable opportunity to bond and learn from them. Being a present father has taught him important life lessons and self-reflection, particularly in terms of his temperament, resilience, and problem-solving abilities.
The Warriors forward appreciates the positive influence of his father and other male figures in his life, instilling in him a sense of responsibility and standing up for oneself. While he acknowledges the challenges of fatherhood as an NBA player, Green is committed to spending meaningful time with his children and teaching them valuable lessons.
His dedication as a father and his desire to instill mental toughness in his children are driven by his upbringing in Saginaw, Michigan. Green’s commitment to family serves as an inspiration both on and off the basketball court.
