Green Draymond recently found himself on the microphone during the Golden State Warriors’ recent game against the New York Knicks. As one of the most outgoing and loudest players in the league, it’s no surprise that the four-time NBA champion delivered some big moments. From in-game discussions with teammates to jokes with other players on the field to coaching advice, the microphone captured it all.
The highlights were compiled and posted via Bleacher Report on YouTube, where Green started the evening by greeting a number of people. Of course, none other than New York Knicks superfan and esteemed director and producer, Spike Lee.
The future Hall of Famer also met with comedian and actress Tracy Morgan, as well as opposing coach Tom Thibodeau for some pregame check-ins. However, once the game begins, the commentary focus on the mic shifts, with Draymond Green transforming into the vocal leader he is known to be.

Despite this, true to form, he made sure to slip in plenty of hilarious quips and one-liners, at one point joking that it must be nice to be his teammate, Chris Paul. In another instance, Draymond Green also joked that people were surprised by his nature when they first met him, saying:
“I always tell people that if I had a dollar for every time someone asked me ‘Why did I think I hated you?’ I would be a lot richer.”

The Golden State Warriors were in a hotly contested race for the playoff seeding. With the play-in tournament fast approaching in mid-April, the team hopes to spark a late-season run that will allow them to improve in the standings.

While they are 8-2 in their last ten games and have plenty of time left to pick themselves up and get out of contention for the play-in, the contest with the Knicks was an affair. high stakes. Draymond Green and Golden State emerged victorious, with the four-time champion posting ten rebounds, six assists and seven points in a 110-99 victory.
The story of the game was the strong start for the Warriors, who outscored the Knicks 31-19 in the first quarter, before holding a nine-point lead heading into halftime. Despite attempts by Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks to narrow the gap in the second half, the Warriors left New York victorious.
After their victory on Friday, the team will have a tough test on Sunday with the Boston Celticswho leads the NBA with a 47-12 record.
