We love you JJ
you outta be ashamed setting this BS up, KD doesn't get credit? he got all the credit for 5 years and 2 FMVPs what more do you want the guy to get? And Draymond out here running damage control for Klutch and Lebron. "new media" yeah right
Dray admitting he was rattled was unexpected, players talking about the actual game is why we want more from the new media, keep it coming fellas.
He only admitted that because they won the chip
@@CoolTy23 can’t let them see you sweat until after you win. Makes sense
@@CoolTy23 duh come on that’s obvious
exactly what i had in mind
Draymond admitting that he wa rattled is just flat out ballsy
Dray always tells how he feels truthfully though. If it was unexpected that means you aren’t listening when the man talks. And that’s fine and dandy. But truly truly it isn’t rando
People remember the rings and how dominant KD was. But people forget how that came to be. The Warriors started running the ball through KD instead of Steph. And Steph was selfless enough to let that happen. And in so doing, people started thinking less of him. All of a sudden the Warriors previous successes were forgotten and replaced with KD's legacy. I think his tears were tears of relief. That he proved his doubters wrong.
Make no mistake the offense still ran through Steph. KD has said many times he had 2 jobs: 1. Blend in with the offense 2. Run iso situations if they couldn’t get a bucket”
Draymond pretty much confirmed it. Teams were starting to figure GSW out, particularly OKC & CLE.
KD was the insurance policy bc he can run iso plays & just get u a bucket at will. Steph couldn’t do that & that was brought to light by Cavs.
Now Steph really has changed his body. If need be, he can run iso & get u a bucket if the offense is stagnant
I don’t get why Steph gets ridiculed he’s literally the nicest guy in the NBA and people really forget when the Cavs set the blueprint to blitz Steph early it drew more defensive attention on Steph so KD was able to get the easiest open looks
@@rohangupte3545 fans don’t care about the personality of the player if they’re not on their team
@@olaakande5581 You don't need to necessarily treat what Draymond's said as a fact tho,, especially when you think about all the circumstances that happened when Warriors lost that '16 finals, and yet Cavs only won it by the slightest margin at the end. To think that they can't run it back without Kd just bcos Cavs won that finals is such a bogus thing to say. Cavs needed so much went their way to win by the slightest margin at the end. Let's not forget that GS won that first 2 gms in blowout fashion with both Steph & Klay didn't even break 20+ pts. If all of that tells you that they *needed* Kd to win over them Cavs, then Idk how your brain works.
@@judyclarkson5887 The only reason they needed KD cause the refs and availability. The NBA gifted Lebron that ring just to make more money. If GSW not good enough this year to beat refs and opponents they loose like the Bucks.
Celtics fan here. Bummed that we lost but ultimately happy for the warriors to win without KD, Klay coming back from his injuries, and Steph to finally win his FMVP. Draymond is real, we respect him.

Y'all celtics have won many championships, and it was a tremendous accomplishment for the Celts to make it to the finals. they are a great young team and it took a heroic effort from steph to win the series, because Boston had the better overall team in my opinion. The difference was the experience of The warriors top 3 Green, Thompson, and Curry chemistry and expereince + a legite top 10 all time player in Steph curry. Larry Bird has always been my favorite and was a tremendous all around player, but steph being much smaller has revolutionized the NBA so players like Trae Young can have an impact. Stephs scoring ability may be slightly better than Bird's because of his ability to dribble drive, create his own shop and shoot consistently deep 3's to open up the defense. Bird however was a better overall player in terms of passing, rebounding, defense and of course his spectacular offensive game. Bird and Curry both have an incredible clutch gene to deliver when the game is on the line.
you a real fan, I wish a lot more fans were like you
I fuckin hate draymond. dont speak for me, celtic "fan"
Its just a game though wether your team win or not we should always respect the other side because without them then no one will make a history.
When Chris Paul went on the podcast earlier this year I thought man JJ has reached the peak of podcast and it couldn’t get any better. Boy was I so wrong.
Glad you're continuing to enjoy it. We try pretty hard to keep getting better.

So happy for Steph man. Haven’t seen that emotion from a pro athlete in years. Top 10
Too many players/media kicking the Warriors while they were down. Steph deserves the best.
Lebron had that emotion 2016
@@blue-phoenix115 yeah man. Years ago
@@sethtigner Man… I haven’t seen Warriors win a Championship in years!
Lebron in 2016 was somewhat enotional & Dirk in 2011 was really emotional (understandably)
every Steph fan felt those tears. it felt like for the longest I couldn’t brag on this man’s success just because of that one theophy. Finals mvp. Then the whole kd thing….man Steph put up with so much and finally, he’s doing it
Steph is the ultimate teammate.
in today's NBA, yes. he has a great complement of skills that can make other stars better without cannibalizing their action. if there were another player like steph, they would not work well as teammates.
@@jobunaga4178 what? How? Lmao two steph like players would be even better than one
@@sowishful lmao I know right

@@sowishful You mean star guards that don’t guard opposing star guards ? Lol
Klay coming back had me crying. His struggle for all of his injuries, to come back mid season and be as powerful is astounding. I love you Klay 😍
DRAWING STEPHEN CURRY | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!
Amen. Klay's story is amazing. For him to be even half as good as he is right now is off the charts. I love each member of this team because they all stepped up when needed and made plays. I think it is time for Wiseman to show something coming back from being hurt. Hopefully he will learn from Klay. But the passion that this team feels and how they are like interchangeable parts when one guy is off the others step up. There was a game in the regular season (I think late against the Phoenix collapse) where the "no names" took it to the big names and big egos of the Phoenix Collapse and gave them heck. When that happened, one could see the foundation for this trophy right there. This bench is better than some team's starters.
The way Green talks about Steph, man that shows their bond!
Game 4 was one of those rare performances where it felt like a privilege to watch.
Steph and Jordan are the only two players to consistently do things I didn’t think were possible. They changed the game. All the others are just really good at playing it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you dont think wilt changed the game?
ur smoking crack my guy, steph can’t even hold lebrons jockstrap.

I like the fact that JJ keeps his mouth shut to allow his guest keep their train of thought. Real 1 no cap 😤😤😤

Steph crying after winning his 4th (No KD, no injury asterisk) reminds me of Kobe's outburst after winnning his 4th (1st w/o Shaq). Both guys had their accomplishments questioned and both guys shut up the haters leading their teams to a ring.
Wow! This is why I love Draymond. And whether you love him or hate him, after listening to this candid and honest response he gave, everyone else SHOULD at least respect him.
@Wayleran.....Unfortunately there was no way to hit the like button more than once...I woulda liked your comment like 100 times 🙃
DRAWING STEPHEN CURRY | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!
I believe Dreymond is the Steph Curry off the court. He's already started his second career, while his 1st is still rollin. He may be the first player to ever do that. Much Respect
Like I said in 15 and till this day… Cherish this team and Steph Curry because once he’s gone who knows when we’ll have another like him again
Agree so much, great to be an NBA fan in the era of Steph Curry
Just look at Curry man, so inspirational!
The Steph emotion hit so hard because we never seen him emote in that way. The beast like yelling at the crowd and breaking down looked like he wanted it so much this time and it showed. Def needed/wanted that MVP!
JJ went from being one of the most hated figures in sports early in his career to being one of the most liked after retirement. This is the perfect example that shows how fans don't view players as real human beings. It's part of the job? Yes, but there's a limit for everything.
What was he hated for early on?
@@Janon743 had to do with duke
i’m glad we’re way past that though
I think until you get to see their personality and humanity, it can be very difficult. Same way people dehumanize drivers on the road
Speak for urself boy
U don't speak for smart people
U stay speaking for the Stupids of society
@@pamoon_ what's there to hate in duke? Sorry I'm a casual
They said he benefited from the opposing team's injuries
They said he could never show up in the biggest moments
They said he needed a super team
They said he will never get a Finals MVP
They said he can't lead a team by himself
All that build-up led to proving everyone wrong winning ring number 4.
👑🐐
@Tyler Holt Like when LeFraud benefited when the league rigged the game in his favor?
@Tyler Holt : Do YOU really spend your time trying to hate on an obvious legend??? Release YOUR hate, move on, and try to enjoy your life better without that still hanging over your head. 🙄😳🤡🤡
He proved me wrong
as a celtics fan. I give respect to green and the warriors team. nothing but respect for that team.
DRAWING STEPHEN CURRY | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!
Even though I was rooting for the warriors, that series was the first time I’ve ever seen a opponent force them not to get “cute”. The Celtics had them shook and showed the league they’re for real
As a Celtics fan I don’t like draymond as a player only respect the warriors as a team but we winning it this year repeat warriors vs Celtics again.
This team is comprised of players who protect each other and who have each other's back. This is one of the reasons I became a Warriors' fan in year one of Steph's professional career. I cannot begin to tell you how refreshing it is to have professional athletes who aren't just selfish, me-me-me-monsters. I understand wanting to get paid, but there are go time girls like Kevin Durant and LeBrick James who don't care about their team(s) and who will shaft fans at a heart beat. Steph is a rare man. He is more than what you see and is underrated and taken for granted by many pundits. Steph stepped up his game and even when he had one bad game in this series, he rose up and put the team on his back. This man is a legend. Draymond keeps it real and I'd hate him if I didn't like the Warriors. Draymond is his own man and I love his passion.
We love hearing these player perspectives. It’s like unprecedented access like we never really got much of in years past. Awesome work, JJ and crew!
It's rare you get the truth from players these days. Draymond, JJ, Pat bev, Dame really the only ones that give you a peek at what's really goin on imo anyway.
@@Sushityphoon01 I agree with that. We never really got this kind of access in the early 2000s and even 2010s. It’s pretty cool to hear it from the players like this nowadays. Hope it continues
DRAWING STEPHEN CURRY | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!
Yea, that emotion he is talking about curry showing in game 4. I remember watching hit that second 3 in the 1Q, forced Celtics to call a time out. He had that look and emotion that I’ve rarely if ever seen out of him. Almost as if he was angry. I said to my boy it’s over.
That was IN BOSTON. He was pissed off in the 1Q you knew he was locked in.
He got that warriors vs okc vibe, you already know he's gonna cook 'em boys alive
That was his redemption ring. Everybody counted them out especially after Klay and Kevin were absent. He hung in the, persevered, bet on Klays extension, stayed hungry and succeeded although his supporting cast had gone through drastic changes. Well deserved, Sir.
Who cares about someone's opinion whether you are too 5, top 10, top whatever? Everyone's list is different. Curry said he is the Petty King. I had to stop and think what he meant. He is referring to how it is so petty how people look for something to put you down. Like saying Curry did not have a Finals MVP. Now he does. But even if he did not get one he still has 4 rings. Of course a few players have more but a lot more have none. Whatever happens Curry has had a great career. He works hard, truly enjoys playing and does whatever he can to help his teammates and his team. That's the mark of a champion even if he never won a ring. Go Warriors. Hope you can do it again.
Curry already solidified his status even before Durant went to the Warriors.
Lol exactly 💯 🤣 dray doesn't always remember everything correctly
Steeph is great. Humble and silent. Unlike Bron or many others always loud and annoying. He is loyal to the warriors and setting a great example. It is nice to see. Love he got the 4th ring in a shorter amount of time than Bron.
Everything that has happened to GSW from the past 3 years finally burst out of Steph in that ultimate win. That was a hell of a roller coaster ride. I liked KD even before GS days but leaving your team just because something bad happened and thought it was over for the team is not what it meant to be a champ.
Klay proved it big time. Glad to witness this GSW era of greatness.

Interview skill of JJ is something, way better than some of the sports analyst we have in the game.
Steph with the emotions was so powerful to watch.
4:06 Yeah, i NEVER understood why, no matter how much he accomplished people would find some way to try diminish him or hate him, and it was mindboggling.
I really can't help but think it is because he is underarmour and NBA is nike so yeah they don't want competition. It is so mind boggling you think of conspiracies like this!
I think whatever breeds inspiration also breeds hate at the same rate. He lives a life a lot of people wish they could’ve. Envy is also a helluva drug😤
Yup. Happens to the best of them. And personally, i think that what makes them great or greater than who they are as players. Regardless of the hate they get, they always prove people wrong. Whether it be steph, lebron, KD just to name current players.
@@Mrjjoseph1997 generally I see the hate bred from crazy Lebron fans or fans of other players such as Harden
Because he always choked in the Finals. Up until now.
Mentally, he lacked the mindset on the biggest stage.
When Draymond said he was rattled you can see he’s got micro-shudders just talking about it. I don’t think many men can really comprehend what he went through but he’s still visibly shaken and its cool that there’s a platform like this where he can air how he feels to help get past the experience
There’s so much to be talked about in the NBA besides the ESPN narrative. This is why JJ’s and Draymond’s podcast are so nice to listen to. Real talk. This is coming from a Nuggets fan.
I'd go a step further and say the ESPN narrative is one of the few perspectives not worth mentioning let alone discussing broadly. Can't blame though, big money entertainment almost always means fake things.
I will always appreciate an person who is as self aware as Dreymond is

What Steph and the Warriors have achieved is amazing in the recent times. Since the Kobe and Shaq’s three peat
Steph didn’t chase rings and stuck with the team through tough times
The team also did an amazing job nurturing and building team around him
Kerr did a great job during all this time and got back to the top again
They are like the new version of Spurs but changed basketball forever!
JJ is the best is the best, man..
beyond fair in assessment, incredibly intelligent, seeks truth and has an ability to see truth in others

There is no explanation needed he deserves it. All everybody sees is the three pointers when they look at him they don't look at the hard work. Steph deserves it and it's tears of accomplishment 👏.
JJ Ive been subscribed for awhile now, keep up the EXCELLENT job you do!!
glad steph got his his finals mvp. didnt have them winning this thought they were outmatched but Bos clammed up.
hopefully folks stop shitting on folks legacy
Draymond keeping it real, salute to the real ones.💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 congrats was steph

I didn't listen to the full interview, but also the injuries that Steph, Klay and Draymond all had since the last time they won a championship, the pandemic with its fears and uncertainties and shortened season, the endless criticism, going to the worst in the league and predictions of the Warrior's probably future failures had to add up to so much negativity and dismissal of the Warrior's recent accomplishments that for Steph it all came out in a burst of enormous relief and recognition of how hard they all worked to go from worst to first. He was showing everyone how deeply he cares and that he once again managed to overcome the negativity that has dogged him due to his size.
Best podcast! Love hearing our hero’s speak candidly
Thank you so much for this content JJ , makes my days so much better
DRAWING STEPHEN CURRY | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!
It was pretty obvious what the emotions were about. Not being respected for not being finals mvp for the previous 3. Being injured or having your best teammate injured for more than a season. Regrouping and having that team oriented culture post-KD era again. Proving the haters wrong by beating a perfectly healthy and respectable team like the Celtics to win the title.
This is great content lol, we need way more of this
Love Dramond’s passion
Living in Philly. Man I just love the Warriors( they are originally from here).
I love Dray as a player, and now even more as a podcaster.
Think Dray is a hall of famer. His leadership, all around skills on the court gets him in. And he could get more championships.
Amazing content guys👏
Dray and JJ the new GOATS of media in our generation. The new Chuck and EJ
...and here I am thinking KD who?! I literally forgot, that was a whole other team... this team right here! The trust and confidence and skill that goes on with this team is something to behold. FANTASTIC!!
Lol yeah the warriors won championships before and after KD. KD hasn’t won anything without the warriors though. People seem to forget that
It’s funny…. I mean I’m no one special. I’m not a sports enthusiast. BUT, I am a Golden State Warrior Fan whether we’re winning, or loosing. That will never change. Everything Draymond said he was feeling in Games 3 and 4 of the Finals, I could see it. I appreciate his honesty. Also, the brotherhood on that team is one of a kind. It’s hard to replicate!
DUB NATION 4 LIFE!💙💛
Anyone that think Warriors weren’t gonna win w o KD anyway tripping. Anyone that thinks the NBA DIDNT ROB THEM back in 16 also tripping. Real ones remember them hyping Lebron and protecting Jordan’s legacy strategically suspending Green when they needed him in crucial game 5.
Yeah I remember. I watched "Every" game of that series in "full". Not youtube highlights. The full games are still on youtube if people doubt what you're saying. Warriors should've won that series. No way NBA organization was going to let Lebron lose 4 straight NBA finals
Draymond is real easy to listen to and is hella relatable
DRAWING STEPHEN CURRY | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!
Draymond saying warriors invitational was the coldest flex
"They say steph and klay carried me to the championship , great thanks I got 4 of em "😂😂 Gmfu dray like facts!!!
He’s going to win #5 and #6. I’m going to be in Chase Center.
I mean the dude has only 2 more championships before he is considered the greatest ever and I think he will do it
KD really be leaving his teammates
4:50 this is one of the most important reasons WHY GSW not in the talks to trade for KD
After game 3, the Celtics and their fans celebrated like they won the 🏆. Little did they know they were going to lose the next 3 games. 😭🤣🤣😂
😂😂
Drays a smart dude like him in media
Say what you want about Draymond but there's clearly times when he keeps it an absolute buck when he has very little reason to. Respect!
Great seeing draymond this candid and open, and its only possible cos jj let him speak for 5 minutes straight uninterrupted. You dont see that from the rest of the media
If you don't recognize Steph as one of the greats by now, you are analyzing something else. Not basketball.
dang this is an awesome show
What a story from Draymond!
I am so happy for the warriors.
Amazing content 🔥

I like draymond. That’s the take. Thank you guys
Kd was so wrapped up in himself he never considered what Steph was feeling, bro I gave u my team and you when and dip like nothing
Damn I didn’t know JJ Redick had this many subscribers on RUclips
I don’t think Draymond was really a part of the reason for the emotion other than it being the same group that did it.
I see it as this core and a similar culture and energy won the title in 2015 and had the best regular season ever in 2016 but couldn’t finish it.
They brought in KD and no one could stop them healthy. Not in 7 games until KD left. Once KD left they felt bare again. A previously elite core that spent 2 years banged up now having to climb through the new, younger contenders. Overcome new challenges including CoVid protocols and other supremely talented players in Giannis and Luka and Jokic and Ja and those Suns that weren’t in the way before. But with nothing added over the top they built the team they wanted. They fostered the electric culture they birthed in Oracle arena years ago and when the clock got low in game 6 - Steph was reminiscing on the past 8 years; this one was hardest AND the most deserved. They delivered. He delivered. His way. What can they say now?
Draymond a great teammate.
I like it with the audience and the wine there
It’s funny how the dubs made KD a better player, and how the Nets made him into a worse player than when he was in OKC. An NBA player should be rated on the impact he brings to the team and not just his skills, KI is a skillful baller but ain’t no team in the league wants to deal with his bs nonsense.
Knew before he spoke that draymond would make it about him

@@ericchen9317 this is a pretty common thing with pro sports in general, NBA isnt nearly as bad the NFL tho
It’s funny how people compare Warriors fan base to Bostons. They aren’t even close. I get that some Warriors fans are over-enthusiastic about Stephs greatness but our crowd only “Boos” players that deserve it like Memphis’ Dillon Brooks. We don’t yell obscenities like “F*** Brooks!” We have more class than that. Boston is by far the worst.

I had a Feeling he was rattled around that time & to see him admit that Is awesome. Even better how he shut them up in game 6 😶
Listening to this, I just became a fan of Draymond Green.
I agree with Draymond, that Steph was protecting him.
Nice!
Top 10 player of ALL TIME
God is with Steph I know it for sure!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
1:48 - and this is exactly why one of the main arguments against the 2020 NBA championship is that it was essentially a glorified scrimmage, it’s a completely different world to play within a stadium full of fans and pressure + heckling, versus an entirely empty arena (that isn’t even to mention the no travel aspect, no HCA and hell, there were even some players doing drugs iirc)
I don’t like the idea of completely discrediting it because all the teams there had the same opportunity but that being said, with the pandemic and social outrage of the time many of the players that were there didn’t want to be and didn’t treat it with the respect of a normal playoff. Add into the fact that it was basically a brand new season with just a handful of games and there was no grind to what would have been a normal season. To me it can never really hold the weight of a typical season.
Draymond is absolutely right,
Damn Draymond was speaking that real 💩 in this interview 💪🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Reddick, you can only squeeze that much into a sentence to ask a question, man! Damn...
I remember after loosing in elementary my whole team was crying about loosing a kickball game
Hmmm so KD didn’t even tell Steph. He found out on his plane
A friend who's a long time LeFraud stan was really bitter that the dubs won another title.. He literally said he can't watch any of the replays/clips because he feels so bad (he didn't watched the finals because he had no interest who wins). He also picked all of the dubs opponents to beat them. I think most LeFraud stans are like him. 🤣🤣
