Wow. I mean, it's unbelievable how Draymond explains everything clearly. I 100% loved and enjoyed listening to this conversation. The sport of basketball is really awesome
As an active player, I don't know if it's the smartest thing to do when you freely give information publicly.
He has a clear future in coaching if he wants it.
@@cjohnsonatl LOL it’s public information anyway you think the top coaches in the league don’t know this or have film? But can you stop it that’s the only question that matters,no surprises in the nba really/
Why is it unbelievable that he can explain things about his profession clearly?
Racist
He's going to be one of the greatest coaches in the league. He just needs more exposure to different coaching styles and teams.
He had Tom Izzy for 4 years, Mark Jackson (defense), Steve Kerr forever (who mixed Pop and Phil Jackson’s philosophies on offense and defense) as well as developed young guys and just made Andrew Wiggins a first time all star starter. The rest is on Draymond being Draymond. But…it’s never going to happen. He’s already on his after nba path with media properties and new contract he just signed with TNT
@@d3vp131 Phil jackson learned from Tex Winter. Tex winter’s coach was the creator of the motion offense.
he could be, but hes not gonna go into coaching
@@ChrisChosen maybe when he gets bored with it he'll do it
Young players will need to be thick skinned to play for coach Draymond. He will bench you if you don't follow the gameplan, he doesn't care if you star player.
He's so right about the swing pass people don't know how frustrating it is to play with people who never swing the ball
not only that, if u swing the ball the players in defense become exhausted trying to guard
@@user-bw6pt9dy6f facts
@@user-bw6pt9dy6f truth. It's why the Warriors always get that resurgent 3rd or 4th quarter to take the lead
Like Kobe. And Iverson...
@@davidsteinberg2120 you're right although kobe did it a little more when he got older but Iverson didn't really change e
It’s crazy how much basketball knowledge dray has, so excited to see him be an analyst after his career
He already is an analyst now with his new deal with TNT.
Crazy he signed the deal w turner sports
@@pirateking7122 full time after his career
If chuck or Shaq decide to retire he can take over
@@jialongchew5279 Shaq and Chuck are funny but Draymond has a way sharper basketball mind
One of the most under appreciated players of this generation. Have got a lot of time for DG
was voted most overrated player in the league by his peers at some point, they know way more than us 😂
@@MrDerrickrose25 But he just told us that new players can't understand or play their system without education - so NBA players don't know. It would be best to ask the likes of Bron, KD, CP3 etc his worth.
@@atomsk1972 when curry and klay were out and he played the season, they had like 15 wins. draymond is good defender/ passer and has good iq but he's overrated in the sense that if were to play on the pistons he would never sniff an all star and just be another guy and thats the god honest truth
draymond earned david lee's spot. they were winning more with him.
Draymond is a great piece to a team just not a player you would want as your key or even second guy. People more so say he wouldn’t get as much attention if he wasn’t with all time great players. Still a great help to a team tho. He’s someone you would want to have.
Man, what an amazing clip. Loved how "the power of the swing pass" idea came full circle at the end, and Draymond laid out the brilliance and effectiveness of Steve Kerr's system so well. Anyone talking about the Jackson/Kerr dynamic and the Warriors dynasty in general needs to see this 💯
This may have been the most insightful basketball conversation I've ever seen...
Draymmond green is the God of all analysts lol
I want Draymond and Lebron to have an analysis show. That would be amazing.
Ain’t enough money in the world lol
I think LBJ will not go that when he retires. He would be great if he chooses. My guess is he will be commissioner of league or owner of a team. He can do or achieve anything he wants he is guaranteed to succeed. This is from GSW fan.
@callmecatalyst He could easily help fund an ownership group for an NBA team.
LeBron will probably focus on business or own an nba franchise. Or maybe even run for politics XD
@callmecatalyst this is such a weird comment... what exactly do you mean lol? how does the world work exactly that makes this idea seem so far fetched to you? MJ is already an owner of the Hornets. LeBron has built up enough power and relationships in the game at this point for him to also go that route if he wanted to.
JJ Reddick's last question sums up how wrong Stephen A Smith is for saying Steve Kerr "piggybacked" off of Mark Jackson.
Mark Jackson did lay foundations, but a key aspect that makes Steph an MVP level player were not happening before Steve Kerr got there.
What’s the most nuts to me is that every single person thought Kerr was crazy for having the warriors keep playing their ball movement system last year when they could have gotten more wins with a simpler offensive scheme (pick and roll) but now the warriors have all these players that play “warriors ball” and who know all this stuff that Draymond is preaching which took them a whole year to learn, while they were losing.
@@kenanwtube love your take.💯
@@kenanwtube really good comment
Both being ignorant of how Draymond impacted and impacts Steph and Klay's careers and disregarding either Jackson or Kerr's credit as coaches for the Warriors are bad mistakes for sure.
"I'm not just passing the ball to get an assist" most people really don't understand how that works
"The power of a swing pass" most people simply do not understand
It's a hockey assist!
alright galaxy brain
The thing you’re talking about is the ego-collective conflict that exists in basketball, and arguably western society at large. We want to uplift each other together, but ego gratification relies on individual pursuits. Especially in basketball and the commercial world of basketball, money = awards and recognition from fans. However, if you want to win, those things come second. The swing pass is itself a metaphor for a larger dilemma in the sport of basketball, especially in an generation that has social media pressure on their appearance and way they play in no way that any star has before.
@@Eyevanram for sure can turn into hockey assists… sometimes it’s just a simple pass that can set up the hockey assist tho so idk if we have a term for that yet lol
@@subjectively_objective oh wow lol
It's fascinating that he didn't understand Kerr's concept at first. Cuz he sure as hell understands it now!
Mastered it!
I think a part of it is that hes so good at defense that he can figure out how to create offense
Great stuff from JJ and Dray, this is why he got an analyst contract. It’ll be interesting to see if he provides commentary on the warriors and gives away any secret sauce.
You mean any more secret sauce.
I love this conversation. The stats don't show all the things that Draymond contributes to the game. People threw around the phrase, "He's the heart of the Warriors." I don't deny that part but Draymond is the court vision of the team. His diections helps the other players flow and get in place for the shot. It's beautiful to watch.
"The ball will always find the guys who are supposed to get the shots" Wow. So simple yet so lethal. And that doesn't always mean it's the SUPERSTAR! It might be a wide open Draymond for a corner three, it might be a wide open McGee (years back) cutting to the basket. That mentality is just brilliant bc it literally frees up EVERYONE from having the pressure of 'I gotta get my superstar the ball' and pressure from the actual superstar of fighting to get open and hit the shot. Simple yet brilliant!
Kerr was like a shaolin monk with that answer lol
@@CPAClass2010 right! 😂
As a lifelong Warrior fan, this was a very satisfying conversation
Draymond is very important, especially defensively. But I wish he could shoot atleast 34% from 3, that would make them even more dangerous. When they went 73-9 Dray was still a threat from 3 so the defense had to respect his jumper just a little, which makes his passing even more deadly
He do that a little more for us this year i like him shooting to keep the defense honest especially if he can knock them down
Shooters normally need a rhythm to increase there shooting percentage but Draymond will never be a rhythm shooter cuz he knows he has no business shooting the ball if he has Curry Klay and better shooters are on the team. He'll rather get the ball in there hands.
Yep, he shot 38% that year.
2016 Draymond was insanely valuable. Peak of his offense and defense. I honestly believe he was damn near as valuable as Steph that season.
There is no need for him to do that. We have Poole, otto, GP2 to take up scoring
Kerr is really the mastermind of their great system
I don't disagree with you; however, it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Mark Jackson. He assembled and set the foundation to what the Warriors are today.
Kerr has said he took Warriors job because of Steph Curry, he was going to take the Knicks coaching job before he changed he’s mind.
@@christopherchong8340 Mark Jackson was a coach. He set some of the foundations. As Draymond said, he had them play with confidence by highlighting what they were good at in their offence.
But "he assembled"? Nah. He didn't draft these guys. He was the coach when they were drafted, but he didn't assemble them. He coached them well, though.
Ultimately, there's a lot of luck in the Warriors becoming the team they became too. Because there were trades that they tried to make that likely could've resulted in 0 championships championships.
Edit: and they wouldn't have Steve Kerr if they made the Curry to the Bucks trade. He'd be at the Knicks....and the Knicks probably wouldn't have been good.
Mark jackson drafted klay and draymond. He was the coach when those guys were drafted. The only player he didnt draft was curry who was drafted by Don Nelson
100%! People dont give Kerr enough credit for his work, they be just saying "het got lucky with a roster of all stars"... just see how Draymond is talking about his system... he also made sure the stars work well together which a lot of superteams in the past decade have not figured out how to do
They're going to be unstoppable when him and Wiseman come back.
Wiseman may not even play a dribble. See Wiseman is talented and is natrually gifted but he has not played long enough with the current rotation of players. In fact at this moment kevon Loony is more important to them than Wiseman . The problem is wiseman has not even practiced with the team. So Warriors can legit win a title this year but wiseman may not get fully integrated into the until next season.
@@ashwinchander1837 This Warriors team knows how to manage these talents. He will improve a lot next season, to prove why he is picked higher than Melo
@@kieffer4615 he is not better then melo he has butter fingers and poir defensive iq
@@kieffer4615 warriors knew what they were getting when they drafted, warriors never had a talent like wiseman at the center position even when they were winning championships, because their best lineup had draymond playing center and 7 footers are a luxury that selected few teams enjoyed at center position, kevin Durant is not center so not considering him. Warriors in wiseman have a raw talent and if channeled right they can have tailor made center for their style of play, who catch lobs and defend other 7 footers eventually
@@happysad7768 Again something he could improve upon. Also what better team to be in for young talents. Golden state will unlock his potential. Which is the difference with Charlotte, Wolves and other bad teams
Great episode! Draymond is the real deal. His value and position is unique. He's agent should give him a bit more exposure. Well underated by many, but valued by those who matter.
I been rocking with Draymond since the MSU days with Summers, Lucas and them boys. Always loved Draymond, put some respect on his name
TNT is in good hands. Draymond is a brilliant player, that all modern players should emulate.
Always love hearing what Dray has to say
He is most definitely the most Dominant Defender of the 2010s and 2020s
Huh????
@@andrephillips7764 if not dray, then who? he can facilitate defense and defend against 1-5
AD but especially Embiid make it close but yeah I too would give it to Draymond in the 2010s.
They r having such a great deep conversation. So awesome to see amazing brains of the game.
We are truly blessed to have Draymond
It was an amazing conversation. Great insight.
Great stuff! Thanks guys.
i listened to this at work today and loved every minute. made me laugh quite a few times and it made the day go faster. once im on this video though i realize yall need some mic arms but other than that a great watch too.
Steph, Klay and Dray are one of the best trios of all time hands down!
Hands down 🔥🔥

It would be awesome to have Dramond break down their plays from their perspective. With all those mental process nuances . Oh man 🤘🏻
I love the way Draymond talks about the game. True basketball mind
We already know why you're vital Draymond, completely underrated
Some people might think Draymond is cocky but I look at it different he's just confident and his game shows it
Draymonds IQ is off the charts. Ppl who call him a bad player is either a hater or knows nothing about hoops.
Draymond talking basketball is amazing
You can tell how big his role is in the Warrior dynasty. His Basketball IQ is unbelievable too!
It blows my mind that people really think this man is trash lol
Anyone who watches team sports should know even if they don't see it; No average player can be such a valuable member of a great team.
People who think Draymond is trash usually don't have much basketball knowledge. They are casuals. Period.
Those are the people that have not been around basketball long enough. Anyone who has played a high level or studies the game knows how valuable Dray is. Guys like him don’t come around often.
@@abouttime2569 das a fact
In fairness, he did have a stretch where he couldn't make an open layup to save his life... but he is definitely one of the all time glue guys the league has ever seen
This is exactly what need to be shown of understanding your role and how important each role is on a team. Not just being a shooter.
1:00 we all know he’s talking about westbrick
Lmao
The damn ribbon at the end of this video. Great series of questions.
If Draymond can keep his expectations and emotions in check when dealing with lesser players, I think he would be an excellent coach.
He is so explicit. When it comes to direct the play. He is so enjoyable to see how easily he can explain the transition from a system of play to another. The guy is a genius.
Players and GMs know how draymond is so good on defence. Every GM would like a draymond on their team.
high level conversation.
Great interview Mr. Reddick.....
Kerr took the Spurs offense from 2014 and absolutely perfected it. Spurs 1-5 could all pass well, the difference with the warriors is their shooting is historically good. When everything is clicking, they’re damn near impossible to beat.
@callmecatalyst Agreed! Those players are 1 in a million. It’ll be difficult to replicate.
Dray and JJ are going to be great analysts for years to come
Exactly...people really underestimate what Kerr did for this team
Amazing, what a wise man
Love u dray. My idol.. im a filipino fan solid.
Green explains it extremely well how do they move the ball which is so good to watch that even the ball did may not be converted into score still the way they move the ball excites everyone who watch. And on next plays definitely those movements are converting into scores.
Draymond Green is a brilliant basketball communicator. OMG If he ended up coaching, he could be like the best ever!!
Dray being so truthful
Draymond is getting into the media, but he's a championship level coach
Please show this to people who think Steve just came in a took over an already made team. I'm a soccer fan, who follows Barcelona, wich is a possession based team who move the ball around. So its crazy to me that a professional doesnt understand the power of ball movement. A saying in soccer is, the ball will always move faster then the person holding it. The ball is like a magnet, so u move it around to create the space from the magnets that follow and stare at the ball.
Mark Jackson gave us the heart and confidence and Kerr brought in the best offensive system that could work for our talent it was a perfect mix
Too bad they couldn't work together
damn didn’t know you were part of the organization. what number you wear? i’ve never seen you on the court
Love how he speaks, hes like another genius kg, ray lewis and shannon sharpe, great communicator which is so essentail to defence. Gonna be a great analyst, whwen he joins barkley shaq and jet one day
Wow wow wow..! This is Mind Blowing..! I Love this
Great content I’m just mad nobody fixed the mic 😂🤣
Can't wait to have him back!! #dubnation
This guy is seriously one of the coolest dudes
Draymond is a master of secondary assists
Steph would be up there at 1 or 2 cause Green assist are from Steph's initial pass.
I keep telling people Draymond is the reason Wiggins is playing better than he did in Minnesota... gotta love teammates like him
I like him when stevv kerr inside him to court first time with this player every one want to play make you better. Great player great personal .
He’s gonna be an awesome coach
1:00 JJ Smiling thinking of Westbrook
Or CP3
@@lfvdnfv no
@@YTzaecapone yes
@@YTzaecapone most point guards are passing for assists, tbf. That's their usual job. CP3 does it. But he's making smarter passes than Westbrook, and he's not putting pressure on the person he passes to to just shoot it like Russ has done in OKC after KD
Westbrick you mean
I could listen to Draymond talk about basketball 24/7. His insight is so clear and simple, the way he takes the complexity out of the game. And he has the right to give advice because we've seen the Warriors' defensive and offensive systems work against the entire league for 7+ years.
dray is so good in media
If only more people got to see & understand this side of Dray.
Coach Draymond. Teach.
He’s gonna make a great commentator or coach one day after it’s all said and done
Draymond speaks so well
This is the best thing I've EVER seen about the Warriors.
Very interesting
As a warriors fan, green is vital to warriors offense and defense, ready for him soon.
Shows just how valuable Draymond is and how smart Steve Kerr is
im so shocked how the warriors quality went down even after klay came back, draymond is such a pivotal player to the warriors, i bet on them every game with draymond starting, not so much when hes out, he has such a soothing nba voice, can easily cast games or do a nba podcast.
This is gold
Very interesting to hear what Steven Kerr brought compared to Mark Jackson…. Not that Jackson was bad…. But Steve Kerr did bring a revolutionary new style of basketball.
A few days ago I was watching some games between the 90’s Celtics and Bulls. Watching these classic old games, you really notice significantly less ball movement. It was about creating a mismatch and then attacking that mismatch one on one.
Also, it was interesting to see defenses setting up about 5ft in from where current defenses set up. That created a lot of congestion in the paint…. Which in turn made it much more difficult to attack the rim with back cuts, etc
@callmecatalyst
Well said
My posting was prompted by frequent posts that dismiss the Kerr contribution as simply proceeding with what mark Jackson built
That said, Draymond clearly elaborated on how Kerr insisted on playing in a way that felt unnatural (different). And, yes, Steve Kerr freely acknowledges his debt to other great basketball minds. But, if you go back and look at games from those previous teams…. There is a clear difference in style reflecting the further refinements Steve Kerr brought to the game. And, of course, one has to further acknowledge that those changes were enabled by Kerr’s good fortune of having Steph, Klay, and Draymond
@callmecatalyst Plus, even as a player Kerr was always considered one of the smartest players of the league with a basketball IQ off the charts. Pippen, Bird etc material.
Dray is one of the fastest bigs to push the ball up the court and it’s done with force. Lots of early offense before the defense is set.
His basketball mind is clear n it shows
Draymond learnt it from koruko 😁
W anime
Curry is basically the guy with glasses they both shoot deep and turn around before the ball goes in😂
Midorima
I will admit that Green would not work on every team, but people that just look at the PTS column are missing this guy’s greatness.
Draymond really does feel like a quarterback and Curry and Thompson are the receivers. The offense looks so stagnant when he is not on the court.
No Steph is the quarterback lol nothing runs without him
@@Caraxes_RoguePrince Steph does best off ball where he can wear the defense out.
@@stop.juststop right but on ball as well…his gravity is real lmfao we seen draymond and the warriors win 15 games without Steph. He’s important but he ain’t no quarterback.
Steph is the damn quarterback
@@Caraxes_RoguePrince thank you..speak facts to him
Pull in that jib, dig in, hike out, on the Trap, Draymond laying it down!
future nba coach
Children learns best by repetition so do grown ups do. People learns best by listening , analyzing, and executing! Dray analyzed and believed because he listened ! And he is now an expert ! Congratulations Dray and please dont leave the warriors for life!
Man I want him back
This dude iq is out of this world, great future coach
n we’ve seen it lately some games shouldnt be that close n some games we shouldnt be losing
Dude is a textbook _#respect_Dray
D Man, set the D Man, keeping them guessing, just messing, Draymond puts on quite the Show, swing that D around, as Draymond just sketching the routes and what's around!
do they usually let their guests hold their mic
Thats why he ve signed with TNT as an active player
Coach Dre☝🏼
3:11 that awkward moment when he reached for the glass then changed his mind lol
When DG and Nick Manyon come back, noone’s stopping GSW
The ball will always find who is supposed to take the shot
-Zen master Kerr
now everyone loves Dray so much as if this wasn't ALWAYS him. Cornballs lets the media dictate your way of thinking, and now you think he is some new human you have respect for lol
@Fishstick - does not matter...you are missing my point
Few years back, he was like the heel of the league. Now, him and the warriors are now the face
