Okay, you've got four championships. It feels like each championship has a story. The first time is, who is this team? What are they doing? Steve Kerr, this whole mix. I would argue that your team has almost reshaped basketball. The way teams play, the way you move the ball, where people shoot from, how you defend. All of that has changed because of Golden State. Absolutely.

When you look at your fourth championship, how do you motivate yourself to do even more now? Because most would go, I've won. What else do I have to push myself on?

It still happens. So you're going into another season. The team is looking good. The spirit, just in the city, like if you were in Oakland, you know, even around San Francisco, you can feel there's a pride in and around the team. I feel a change in you as well in that, you know, there were some moments where it felt like Draymond Green was angry.

You know, people weren't giving you the respect that you deserved. Now it seems like... You play with the anger, but you have a different swag to you as a person now. You laugh at people's doubts. You enjoy those moments. On your podcast, for instance, you put it all out there. What do you think changed in your life?

I hear what you're saying. You weren't trying to be the villain. You were just trying to be somebody who's driven and it changes with your position of power. I hear you. Before I let you go, there's one thing I've always wanted to know about that element of the game with the players and the teams and the fans and all of that is you have this camaraderie. You guys have this drive.

You have this world that we don't know about as the fans. And when the fans are cussing you guys out from the sides, On the one hand, fans are there to throw you off your game. They wanna say whatever to get at you, and that's part of being there live. On the other hand, you're human beings, you have families, you know, you have emotions.

How do you think we find that balance between what fans can say at a game and what you should or shouldn't respond to as an athlete?

We'll be right back. The NBA. 29 of the world's best basketball teams and also the Knicks. The regular season hasn't even kicked off yet, but there's already been a ton of drama. Now, if you haven't been keeping up, last week, the general manager of the Houston Rockets posted a tweet in support of the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.

And the NBA quickly put out a statement distancing themselves from that tweet. What was funny about this, though, was that the English version of the statement was very different from what it was being translated to for the Chinese Internet. So, like, in English, the statement was basically like, hey, China, we're sorry you're offended.

But then the Mandarin one was like, rest assured, China, we will feed this man to the wolves. But then, here in America, people were pissed that the NBA was kowtowing to China, right? So, yesterday, they went into damage control mode, and things have only escalated from there.
