Draymond Green

I didn't say a front office?

I think everybody was committed to winning and doing that any way possible.

And right now, it doesn't feel that way.

Or like, you know, I mean, I guess how would you kind of... I think everyone has a personal agenda in this league.

But you have to make those personal agenda work in the team confines.

And if it doesn't work, then you kind of got to get rid of your agenda.

Or eventually the agenda is the cause of someone getting rid of you.

My guest tonight is a four-time NBA champion and a four-time NBA all-star who plays for the Golden State Warriors. He's here to talk about his latest championship win, his hit podcast, and so much more. Please welcome Draymond Green. Mr. Draymond Green, welcome to The Daily Show. Thanks for having me, I appreciate it. Are you kidding?

I'm shocked that you have time to do anything after winning your fourth NBA championship. Does it ever get old?

It's the best. Let's talk about it. Let's jump straight into it. This is what I love about you, you know? There was an era in sports where, you know, people would sort of say what they mean on the court. But then when they would come off the court, they did an interview, what do you think about this? It'd be like, oh, it was a good game. Oh, it was a fun game. Draymond Green says what he feels.

Draymond Green says what he means. The fans love you because of this. I love watching the post-game interviews because of you. So let's talk about that aspect of the game. You've been honest about it from the beginning. People wrote your team off. People said Golden State was done for. Does this feel like vindication in the biggest way?

So, can I tell you what I also like? This is what I like. There's an element of danger that's been infused into the team, because I think you know this. The Golden State Warriors are an amazing team, but you guys have like a bit of a Christian youth group vibe about you. Do you know what I mean? No, I mean, especially, like, Clay and Steph.

Like, you're the bad boy of the group, but, like, Clay and Steph, it's very much like, I'll see you guys on Sunday. It's, like, a nice thing. And I think there was this attitude in the league where people were like, man, they're the nice guys. You can say anything about them. They won't do anything. I saw you in one of the post-match interviews where you said, they said, what do you think happened?

You said, I thought I was too soft in that game. You changed everything after that. How do you maintain being good players, being good people, but still bringing enough hardness to the game while still playing clean?
