Draymond Green: Stackhouse has been huge for me. Just, you know, the relatability. And also, Stackhouse has a crazy presence. He’s an extreme alpha. You know, real alphas respect and appreciate other real alphas. He’s helped me so much because, in a sense, he was a lot like me. And so he’s helping me grow—from a 50-year-old standpoint—that’s like, ‘Yo, I was young.’ There are times where I would say something to somebody during the season, and he’ll come up to me like, ‘Yo, that was great. Now what you go do is go build them up, and you do that.’ And I’m like, ‘Ah.’ So just helping me become a better leader, helping me see things even more from a defensive perspective and offensive perspective.

Asked Tyronn Lue about the Ben Simmons shifts in 1st and 3rd quarters… and yeah, he smiled like Draymond Green during a national anthem

Per the NBA’s hand-tracked stats, Draymond Green contested 18 shots tonight, 14 2s and 4 3s. Juiced by playing center, Houston’s orebs and them taking a ton of shots in the paint, but no other player in the game had more than 7 contests. – 2:32 AM

I don’t root for technicals, but based on the standard of this season, I’m not sure how Draymond avoided a tech there. I don’t want stuff like that to get called, but it almost always does. – 11:53 PM

More on this storyline
Green wants to shift that energy. “It’s okay to say someone is great and not try to tear someone down,” he said. “It’s okay.” -via ScoopB.com / April 21, 2025
To Draymond Green, this isn’t just a podcast or a side hustle—it’s a platform with purpose. A movement, even. “The new media means to me means explaining the game of basketball, teaching the game of basketball, really talking from a place of basketball knowledge and not just saying things and outlandish statements to start controversy,” Green said. “And understanding that it’s ok to give guys flowers while they still can smell them; it’s okay to say someone is great and not try to tear someone down. It’s okay. But ultimately understanding that when you speak, it should be built on BASKETBALL KNOWLEDGE and not controversy.” -via ScoopB.com / April 21, 2025
