I love Draymond’s attitude towards it. Not letting pride get in the way of an amazing opportunity. Didn’t matter if I wasn’t the first, second or maybe even third choice but if you ask me I’m in 100%. That’s the right attitude. He’s a winner.
this whole pod is pride
Agreed, this single message alone is worth the pod
People get too butt hurt about not being the first option.
Nobody can take success away from you
Lol, not letting pride get in the way.... He literally made this podcast due to his pride being in the way
@@trav8787 eh he just got it off his chest, of course it sucks for him not making it after winning gold the last two times. he is a winner and future hall of famer , people act like this dude a scrub
Me too but with less ammm ammmm...
The way Dray guarded AD in last GSW/Lakers game while orchestrating the offense, I’d love for him to play for USA if not coach.
He played his arse off it was fun to watch
Glad you are able to find a good way to look at the blessings you were afforded in the past and the hope for your future. Love your mind set! Bravo
They don't wanna see you win Dray but we do! 💯🏆🙌
nah
we good
hell naw we dont
Naw ain’t no we that’s just a you 😂😂😂
@@gettinbacktothemoney yall hating and still watching his show tho thats embarrassing
Mr. Green, for all of the sacrifices you have made, we see you and thank you. I know I have had many opportunities but I chose what I thought was best for family no necessary myself. I wish I could be more like you. You are a leader.
What sacrifices? This man will not admit that he messed up!!!!!
@@recboyz1540I’m confused as well about this take.
@@recboyz1540he sacrificed his scoring for KD. People easily forget his game 7 performance and he along with Klay scored for GS when Steph was injured in a few past series.
@@adamsamuel8593his sacrifice for KD? bro he played with 3 of the greatest shooters of all time put him on any other team he barely would get coverage
@@adamsamuel8593 lmaooo you can’t be serious…
Bro Draymond green keep it real man you can’t do nothing but respected
You ain't gang you the police
"Bro you THOUGHT you was KOBE? they dont love you like that"
Honestly Draymond like what did you expect your game is falling off and you can’t keep your attitude in check they don’t wanna see you do something detrimental on a national stage bruh learn from it and grow from it
Exactly I hope he actually knows things like these. I get this intangibles and stuff but he never was producing like Klay and Steph does anyway
Can still feel disappointed about it lol he never said he didn’t understand the decision 🤦🏽♂️
What? He's made the Warriors much better since he's been back. There's a visible difference in the Warriors defensive intensity and also on the offensive end he's made a huge impact. He had the highest plus-minus in the Laker game the other day.
@@christopherpaul7588 What's your definition of "much better"? The Warriors were 8-8 without Draymond and have gone 1-3 since his return. Yeah, great plus/minus numbers but they still lost. Too funny. If he's so valuable, they should trade him now and get younger because the current Warriors roster is not going to make the playoffs anytime soon.
@@justkeepingitreal2024 you watching the games bruh ?
For everyone here. If you know True basketball or deeper of basketball not just basketball you know it’s not about stats. It’s how about you make an impact to the game not just impact a deeper meaning of impact . You will just get it if you truly love basketball and if you only understand the real beauty of basketball! Draymond is important and a star on every team where he would be! Draymond is no doubt a must on Team USA.
you need to stop listening to the commentators bro
@@twotenwestyou need stop your girl from cheating on you bro 🔥
Damn I just commented something similar to this USA basketball a whole diff system we sent youngins to fiba play and had to sit stars down cause they couldn’t work in the system I can see dray getting a call later in the season about playing this summer
Nah he do too much football, they dont need him
Several foreign-born NBA players who Draymond punched out, choked or verbally abused, beg to differ. Rudy Gobert (France), Jusuf Nurkic (Bosnia), Domantas Sabonis (Lithuania), and innumerable American-born players that DG has attacked physically, have all asked that he not be included on the USA Team. Real beauty of basketball? This isn't the MMA.
I dont care what everyone is saying in these comments...HE HAD THE COURAGE TO GO TO SOME OF THESE OLYMPICS WHEN NO ONE ELSE WANTED TO. THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO. PROPS TO DRAYMOND MAN. A TON OF HEART AND A CHAMPION! RESPECTS TO YOU!
I love how Colin used to say that green was an overrated thug, and just a garbage player.Until draymond signed on to Collins podcasting team and now all of a sudden he's a hall of famer and just a great guy all around. cowherd is such a sellout
The players he punched also were hurt 😂😂.
Hate him or love him... I respect the fact he takes pride in this shit. Yall gon miss guys like Dray in the next few years.. mark my words
Womp womp
Wearing the USA gear and doing this is funny😂
All Love DG, hope you get the call!
Sorry Draymond but they just don't want you slugging a player from Belgium, Cameroon or France.
Take some responsibility and grow up. Worry more about your violent outbursts and less about
your feelings. People know you are an excellent player. It isn't enough. Be more self aware.
I totally agree with you. Draymond is a liability. The NBA will not do anything about his behavior until he ends someone's career with his violent, unnecessary tactics. He may love the game, but his actions are NOT what you want on any team. It's one thing to play hard defense, it's something else when you're throwing knees, feet, elbows and forearms to vital body parts.
Dude has two Olympic gold medals already, so it’s not the worst thing that happened to anybody in the NBA.
There’s a ton of great players who want to play this year, so somebody will get a chance.
This was his chance to play with Bron
I’m happy that you won’t stop being you and speaking out in the most real way. It’s a gift that you have and no one can ever take it away it’s god given! So this journey will continue in a way that he has planned for you!!! Keep on Dray I will always be a fan and grateful for what you have brought and continue to bring to USA Basketball and to our Dubs!!
In the 2020 Olympics versus France, Green swatted the ball out after it touched the rim! He was the only player on the floor, who knew the international rules! Nobody else attempted to go after the ball.
The coaches need to make sure the players know the rules
Great episode dray ❤😊
Also love seeing you on court I love it! Glad to here you are back on your podcast...things are very bright for you!
They not go respect Dray till he’s gone sadly very under appreciated
he punched his teammate in the face and he isnt good unless surrounded by the greatest shooters ever
He’s not good enough to be on that team to be 100% honest. Let’s be honest here.
Team will be worse without him 100%. At least he's not a internet troll, go waste your time hating elsewhere, you probably subscribe 😉
@@somersetbassett4580stop being so sensitive 😮😮😂
If that’s the case, then they should just be straight and say that instead of some bs story about him not being a choir boy for the face of the team.
@@somersetbassett4580go cry some where else ..how is he hating ? Dray literally said if he’s not good enough just say it @20:30 🤡
that's what draymond said. did you even watch before commenting
You were a beast on team USA, but time has caught up. Much more younger, talented, and hungrier lions. This is the team that competes for gold. No room for emotions.
Watching poole kick ball out of bounds at end of every quarter was maddening. Kerr just stood there and watched it all year. Im glad someone did something. Let poole go roller skate somewhere else.
Genuine & authentic you have to respect it! Thanks for the inspiration--just keep pushing
Can't have you choking Gobert in his home country
😂😂😂
I appreciate your response Dray! Keep grinding! Much love 💪🏽♥️🙏🏽
Dude you punched a 23 year old kid in the face... Also you've been acting like a fool on the court this last couple years... I remember coach Kerr moved you to the bench in 2022 finals cause you were unplayable... can you take accountability for your BS and stop playing the victim? When you stick to playing basketball you are really good
Facts.. He's the most dirtiest player in the league.. Goshhh Adam Silver should've let him retire
My first jersey is the team usa draymond green jersey. Him jrue and kd were leaders of that team each in their own way. Im going to rewatch that final vs france again
They don’t love you like that Drayyyyy! You thought you was one of them? Lmaooo
Ain’t no world tour for you Dray.
😂😂😂😂
Good on you man. Great show btw!!!
Did this pod start over? Could've sworn I was already subscribed and what is this 24k subscribers. I know for sure that was higher???
If we needed somebody specifically to punch and flop on the court you would be all 1st team buddy
Draymond is great player for the Olympics, I hope he ultimately is on the Olympic roster.
73-9 best team in the world we just finished losing to bron and TT
Lmao TT? Why you ain’t say Bron and Kyrie?
73-9 stil is what it is though... draymond dropped 30 in game 7
You talked too much what was the point of all story telling? even when he tries to apologize he says a lot of nonsense and play the victim.
Like real goofy
bruh it's his podcast. what else was he gonna do stare at the camera
idgaf what anybody say and as thunder fan i’m a bball fan FIRST I appreciate the self awareness and draymond will forever be one of my favorites because of what he stands for them antics and shit lame yea whatever but stay outspoken dray I respect it !!! Grant hill coulda let the man know that personally he wasn’t gone make it anyway but that excuse weak as shit y’all lame for that we losing recipes as a society nun honorable anymore
Since the day Dray committed to Michigan State (Korie Lucious from DaMiL) until now, Dray has been super cool with me..Great Career & get LeBron to the Warriors next year!!!
He should've went to Michigan why go to the little brother
Love dis dude n his growth
Honestly, he’s is my favorite basketball player of all time his defense, the last 12 years have you ever seen his G league highlights? The man changed his whole style to play with other people he can do anything
Are you high?
he gotta be...as a kite@@DeezzzzzzNuts12
THIS WHY U WAS LEFT OFF AVERAGED 21.5 minutes, 6.3 points (ONLY 6 IS CRAZY) , 2.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists a game. Shot 42.9% from the field, 33.3% from 3-point and 80.0% from the foul line.
Heard another podcast addressing this issue last week and their discussion lead to the conclusion that you’re not on the team because Rudy is French and the Olympic Games are in France and anyone protesting the US B makes the country look bad & for the record you’re good enough to make that team it’s only one basketball and only the unselfish ones like yourself make that team formidable
Neymar shoutout brought back memories🥲
who should you be replacing on the roster? bam? haliburton?
In the invite pool? Probably Duncan Robinson or josh hart
@@kovuagoyou right. He’s talking about the invite. The roster is another conversation. Thoughts on him being left off due to suspensions?
did you even hear him. he said he probably wouldn't have made the team even without the suspension.
Are those guys even making the team?
hes talking about the invite pool. respectfully, josh hart , Duncan Robinson, Caruso , Bobby Portis over him is nuts
I may not be the biggest draymond fan but that’s some bs cause team USA needs that defensive dawg like a draymond, smart, jrue or pat bev
Not worth the risk of him punching someone on that stage
Dray spoke nothing but TRUTHHHHH. BTW have y'all ever seen him get into it during the olympics? He plays with Pride and is the perfect type of player who can play on a global scale. He plays REAL basketball- not just the NBA sh*t storm of Iso's and bad defense. They may not NEED him, but they will be a lot less without him. BTW, I bet you some of these stars don't show up
We didnt see him get into it in the nba until he did it and did it and did it. Give him a chance he will take it. Lock up your nuts & necks people Draymond is around.
A bunch of great stories makes a great book. I enjoyed this story.
Stop it Draymond. National team roster players are selected from how you performe this season... Half of this season you missed and was not playing because of suspensions... you cant control your self. USA basketball dont needs dirty players, usa basketball can win without injuring other teams players, they are that good that can win it all fair way. Olympics are all about fair play
did you even watch. that's exactly what draymond said on the video
Do this dude take any accountability for the dumb stuff he does on the basketball court and why he was left off he should be disappointed in himself
He’s changing and maturing most people won’t see it tho
I don’t like a lot of what Draymond say but Respect for this
Embiid, AD, Bron, KD, Zion, Bam, JJ, Banchero, Randle ..... I mean, what are we talking about right now? Hating on Wade bc he wished Rudy luck is insane. 😂
uhhh Bobby Portis, josh hart, walker Kessler, Duncan Robinson, caruso? u telling me bro shouldn't be competing for a spot ? hes won 2 gold medals he deserves the chance
@@jacobsz7465 only guy he shares a position with there is portis and yes i would take Portis over Flagrant Green
@@crackberry7902 trippin , im taking the hall of famer
@@jacobsz7465 The hall of famer who almost retired a month ago? In that case go take shaq since he still breathing 🤨
@@crackberry7902 yeah the hall of famer who was +32 against the lakers the other day in a 1 point game lol
Team USA is trying to keep you from starting a war Draymond 😂
If Draymond was on the USA Basketball team basketball is a worldwide sport the rest of the world view him as the Hannibal Lecter of basketball
We appreciate you Draymond. I think it’s pretty shi**y for grant hill to put out a statement like that w/o discussing with you first. You did everything required of you to come back and play, why is he still holding it against you?
Bro, just stop. You obviously haven't learned to take responsibility for your actions. It has nothing to do with play. You represent the US, and you are not our best representative at this time. You did it to yourself.
Dray's last point about not letting your own ego preventing you from taking advantage of opportunities is facts! Do you guys remember why James Harden was snubbed for All-Star last year? He wasn't on the first list to be named All-Star, so he was rightfully mad. But! Days later a spot opened (I don't remember who injured), so Adam Sliver called him... Harden ghosted him.
Results? Pascal Siakam took the open spot and Harden missed out on the All-Star game for the first time in nearly a decade.
I know most people probably didn't listen to the video until the end, but I just wanted to highlight a recent example of his point.
how is josh hart on the team and westbrook isn't?
Can’t be sucker punching younger teammates on USA team. Rather have Jordan Poole represent USA than you
You should be a coach for USAB.
I have watched every single warrior game this season and last game with lakers is my fav. one. I think we found our starting 5 yesterday. The smooth warrior offense is back when DG on the court. Just focus on minimizing the turnover and I guarantee that no one want to see us in finals especially when cp and Payton are back. I LOVE OUR CHANCE.❤ go warriors！
You’re 12th guy
podcast p is lit. this guy just speaking to himself most the time
Gils Arena is 🔥 to me and the best basketball podcast out.
Real af
We should start a B Team to toughen the chosen Team USA up and/or play to represent. Should have had captains actually and play for the spot of "Team USA A Team"... best of 7...
They're just flexing their non-NBA championship muscles probably. Ok, go ahead and risk 10 or so Gold Medals to nurse your egos...
They'd rather protect their egos than see USA guys break a record...
Maybe if basketball in the USA, Team USA Basketball, weren't so racist then the regular FIBA Team USA would be more winning.
Sometimes you see Team USA Basketball and you just wonder if they've got some Glory Road agendas for the culture going on so just let it be...
And then you see NBA LBJ with that Bronze medal and wonder wtf... so whatever...
You a real one G … keep your head up
Nah bro you deserve that spot, hate to see you not going and I’m a laker fan
How does the NBA have any say on who plays in the Olympics though?
Elite players: Best chance to win 🏆.
I dont know something about supermax contracts. Ask Pacers why , Paul George ring a bell.
"I don't think i was gonna make the team anyway" if the goal of team USA was to dominate the competition, you would 100% be on the team. No debate. I remember watching you tip a missed free throw in last Olympics, the skill and IQ it takes to change muscle memory like that, unparalleled.
Can really hear the honesty and respect you have for the love of the game and team USAB. You the Goat bro.
Calling dude the GOAT is insane 😂😂😂😂😂
@@hunteraxtell2791 Dray is not my goat either but anyone is entitled to call any player a goat. Bro just stop being pathetic lol
Draymond is perfect for, how you americans like to say, fiba basketball...
He should be on USA team 🇺🇸 He’s Good American Player
CAP, fake tough guy USA wont miss him
Over who ?
Women's volleyball is one of the greatest sports ever, especially beach.
They were afraid you’d start Word War 3 accidentally with your recent antics
I see a lot of folks saying draymomd suck or can’t play. Olympic basketball is different the game is different and you need players familiar with the system to run which dray is of course no brainer but all the shit dray been on the last year and a half he had to get left off
Respect to Draymond
How the hell is he hurt out there acting a complete fool? There is no player in the league that has done more detrimental damage to their team than this dude. Your reputation proceeds you. Who’s the blame?
He’s right it’s relative…I wonder if Draymond realizes that no one remembered he was on those teams lol
He was trolling Rudy before even going to the Gold metal game. You cant have that in a game where certain governments run these leagues. Its ok to beat them, but dont be kicking the Frenchman while you doing it. If you dont want to offend other countries, leave Green at home. The US did the same thing to the 94 dream team. Kemp and Coleman were never brought back. That team bullied that gold metal in more ways than one.
And btw, i loved that 94 team. And of course the 92 team. Beating teams by 60 or 70 and sticking their face in it was the best part, but the truth of the matter is is that USA BASKETBALL doesn't like it. Its bad for " BUSINESS ".
USAB doesn't need you Dray... the Warriors do though focus on your next game and not assaulting anyone... begging to be in the pool is sad af
He deserves to be on
🧢
Delusional. He's comparing being on the armed forces to playing basketball as "fighting for the country". LOL... 20+ minutes of rambling translates to: "...if they call me later on I'd still play..." Well I think USA basketball made it pretty clear they don't want you because of the liability and risk you pose in creating another incident with you assaulting another player and embarrassing the NBA, country, sport etc...on an international level.
If you literally have to say “I say all that to say”… you probably wasn’t saying anything. Just check how many times you said just that
Maybe if you changed your attitude and ego and stop averaging a triple single every season , then ppl might consider you, ever since you and kd had that argument on the bench and you never passed the ball to kd for the game wining shot I lost respect for you dray, I've been a gsw/49ers/giants fan my entire life and I ain't never seen a guy who's ego and attitude gets the best of him when things don't go your way, just be smarter about your decisions dray we still love you!!! Faithful to the dubs
Crazy how one moment in time of someone’s life made you right them off forever. Doesn’t seem very logical to me to not consider someone’s entire career of accomplishments
Buddy he coulda score 0 points and put more effort than klay has put his whole career stfu
@@nikk3609 Ight ur fuckin wildin on that one💀💀.
@@nikk3609 Bro just hates klay for no reason. Dude must have started watching basketball last year
Dude woke up hating lol
They don't trust Dray anymore and his now a wild card and that's sad
thats what happens when you WWE wrestle NBA players.
U needa convince Steph to start up his own podcast
Dawg.. your recent behavior is not an “out” for them. It’s the truth, you acting like a damn MMA fighter when that’s not the game. Get ya act right, real shit.
He is right! He is not good enough anymore to play in Olympic anymore.
Warriors fan here but we need hoopers hoopers so No thanks draymond we don’t need your stat line of 5/6/4 in 34 mins
😂😂😂 he said, I was left out the Poole. Hilarious Bro. Was that sarcasm??
Did he just pull out the team USA quarter zip just for the video 😂
was draymond really good enough to play for usa if the stars go
If you gotta ask then thats your answer.
Wtf is bro even talking about man😭24 minutes could’ve been wrapped into 2
Grant Hill old school, the young people of today really have no clue.. Draymond its cool to be a physical player, but dude you still have to have some discipline, go back to 70's 80's aba nba and you would be hospitalized those cornfed men would show you.
dray, they lost the last time USA played in manila, THEY WANT TO WIN! NOT SEE YOU PUT SOMEBODY ON A FREAKING CHOKEHOLD!
It's not a matter of talent, but certain behaviors have consequences. It's a lesson we teach our kids. You'll be fine and we'll see what happens moving forward -- no further suspensions or flagrant fouls.
Well said
Bro no way u thought u got snubbed, your a system player your not a hooper at all lol if the warriors represent USA then your in…but out of all the American players your not making the cut my guy
Somebody has to tell him
I don’t get how Dray wasn’t included for 2024 USA team. Doesn’t make sense.
Over who ? Make it make sense for me.
I like attitude about it he has 2 gold medals etc keep it real
