I can listen to Draymond all day, he's smart and his communication skill is amazing. I learned a lot from this interview
Million %, so so dope and so much insight
I would say watch his all the smoke one too in I believe Jan 2020
Man, when you listen to ball player speak on the game, it hits differently.
You nailed it, I was listening to something else and this came up the queue and I definitely can't switch it.
so well spoken
This has to be the BEST episode ever! So insightful and I can listen to these two breakdown basketball and the mentality all day. We are watching the future of ESPN and TNT. GREATNESS
agreeee!!!
I’m not too comfortable with him telling all the team secrets 😂
@@kisjbdshdhshdhaah7506 🤣🤣😂
they didnt really breakdown basketball, more about the stories surrounding it and all that
I wished they could dive deeper on plays, sets, defensive strategies
@@kisjbdshdhshdhaah7506 I fully hear that uno lol I thought the same thing but then again I assume most opponents must study them anyway so maybe they already knew this
This episode is gold. Interviewing one of the best defenders in the league whose been to 5 finals, a future HOF player, and played with arguably two of the best shooters of all time. It was interesting listening to Drays perspective on basketball and life, super insightful
100% HOFer
*The unquestionably top two best shooters of all time. Fixed it for you lol
He is the only player to shout Klay, curry and Durant and still alive....
Still they listen 😂😂😂😂
@@TheUltimateRage lol 😆
3 of the best shooters
While watching this podcasts and hearing that Draymond actually stayed in college all 4 years I looked up his major, and I'm not surprised it was communications. This podcast really showed his way of thinking and expressing himself clearly and eloquently.
Wow, did not know this!!
That's surprising. He seems way too smart to be a communications major.
@@vookmaksimovich9493 and he strived to get honors because he wanted to make up with his mom.
Actually not surprising cause Almost every athletes major is communications lol
tbh most comm majors are not like that, and the fields they work in don't require it... he's just an intelligent, articulate guy.
This was an amazing listen, at no point did it feel like near 2 hours at all. Loved every second.
Fax
That’s exactly what I said after an hour I didn’t even notice
The detailed timestamps are incredible. Every other podcast needs to take notes.
Most other podcasts do that , not taking away from the show , just saying
I dont see any
the questions were all over the place though. shouldve grouped them by topic
@@yt_eli2643 In the description. :)
They got it from No Jumper
Draymond is the prototype of the guy you love having on your team but competing against him is pure hell. It's becoming a rare breed in today's NBA, the level of competitiveness and unselfishness he displays is inspiring ! Great interview.
He’s kind of a dirty player - or has been in the past at least - only complaint - love his heart, passion and dedication though
@@nsa4613 I don't think he's that dirty, though he does do all the holds and vet tricks that good post defenders do. That kick on Steven Adams was crazy. But aside from that, it's hard to remember him injuring another player once in his entire career, NBA and college included. And in recent years there are several examples of him catching guys and preventing a dangerous play. A dirty player would have at least a couple plays they wanted to hurt someone.
(For example, Grayson Allen.)
So he can run your best player off the team?
So he’s a Heat player (not in being dirty but loving winning so much).
Why are Draymond, Steph, and Klay so popular? They all "LOVE" the game and the fans feed off this. Thank you, JJ for this interview from a lifelong Warriors fan since the 1970s.
Yes! When I was reading about trading Wiseman, Kuminga and Moses for some NBA star free agent, I was thinking: the Warriors won in '74-75 starting rookie Keith Wilkes at small forward, rookie Phil Smith off the bench. A wonderful mix of new and veteran players; Butch Beard, Bill Bridges, of course Rick Barry and Charles Johnson(second year player, from Cal(!)) with Derrick Dickey(1yr) and George Johnson (1yr)(another very young player) and Charles Dudley(1yr) (a wonderful interview, also young). Clifford Ray, as you know, was acquired for Nate (the great) Thurmond in a trade with Chicago, who they played against for the (Western? WTF?) title was in his third year.
Im a diehard bron fan and i genuinely have nothing but love for all 3 of them and i would include dre in that as well. Just outstanding humans who are not afraid to speak up for what is right and also just treat everyone great most of the time. game changers, and to me, all four are hall of famers unquestionably.
@@paulweber686 Why would you do this to me? Still hella tight that shortly after the chip my fav player Jamaal Cornbread Wilkes took a trip down the 5, Big Chief and our 1st rounder which was used on McHale were now hooping on the parquet floor, waiting on some hick from Salt Lick, to begin epic battles and taking turns taking Larry home with them, with MY guys. Hate the Lakers to this day.
Oh u was watching Chris Mullin,spreewell, Tim hardaway, Webber back then??!!
@@airkuna 📠And Before that, Clifford Ray, Purvis Short, Bernard King, World B. Free, and John Lucas.
As a Memphis fan, hearing what Dray said about Ja Morant is a beautiful thing.
Tbh yall, and only yall, have us Warriors fans concerned coming out of the West.
I don't watch alot of Grizzlies games but I catch them vs the Warriors and random ones on national tv. I've always thought Ja was the anti-Westbrook -- athletic as hell but has a shot, amazing BBIQ, and takes what the defense gives him. That is one dangerous player.
Ja is talented as hell, works hard as hell, and is scary as hell because his potential is like no other.
A year later if only Ja would listen to Draymond off the court.
"Losing bothers me way more than winning excites me" Damn...what a bar...that's how I feel 45:15
I wish this podcast went longer or a part 2 was coming soon. So much more to dive into. JJ's questions hit the points we all want to know about the inner workings of that Warriors dynasty and about how Dray fits into it. Draymond's answers give such detailed analysis on so many aspects of the NBA we don't get to see. Hope y'all can collab more like this again.
Dray has jj on his podcast. I think it’s the first episode
@@McKeeNJackson thanks
Dray and his knowledge of basketball made it so much easier to watch such a long episode!
Cool episode! Have you considered doing timestamps for the topics that you talk about? Would make rewatching segments much easier.
I agree, time stamps make podcast experience 100 times better :) please consider doing this JJ!!
Yeah I need this
Done. Thanks for watching!
@@JJRedick hey jj
Damn that was fast
My favourite part as a fan of this show is the fact that he acknowledges and engages with Tommy💯
Hell ya! Dray is a good dude.
facts. but do people not do this? ive been watching for a min and haven't noticed much tommy shade or him being ignored or disrespected.
You’re just projecting your insecurity into the situation, he is apart of this podcast why wouldn’t he be heard? Sure his basketball views and opinions dont hold as much “weight” but he’s just as apart of this pod as jj is.
22:52 JJ’s soul left his body when Dray called them “front runners” 😭😭😭
Scrolled to this comment just as he said it 😭
.
22:18 👀🤣🤣🤣
then he talks about playing mind games with Blake lol Was Blake one of the frontrunners?
Draymonds easily the best interviewer in the league cuz he can articulate every detail. He's a natural when it comes to TV and media.
I watched this after failing my B1 building exam.
The spirt and tension of failure and success I heard permeated throughout this interview will give me the juice needed to crush when I retake in a couple weeks.
Cheers. JJ, Tommy, Dray... thank you for this conversation. Y'all are excellent humans, and I appreciate the gift you are.
you will prevail!
With you man. Sometime something speaks to you. Came here for the basketball convo and left with an index card of info to help build my business.
PS. In medicine a lot of us fail during training..your failed exam means you are going to better than you think. Success next up. You got this🙏🏾
You got this!
@@NSoutherland_WellnessMD Failing an exam doesn’t mean you’re going to be better than you think lol. It simply means you didn’t retain or couldn’t recollect the information needed to pass the test.
@@lebumjames1373 yeah and failing means you learned something in the process that should make you better prepared the next time. It wasnt that deep. It was support 🤷🏾♀️
This was probably the interview I enjoyed the most. Dray is just a great interview, answers every question with such detail. 100% my best episode so far.
"Losing bothers me more than winning excites me."
This COULD have been the GREATEST basketball podcast I’ve ever seen! The only thing that stopped it from being the best was Draymonds damn mic cover giving me EXTREME ocd 😂…. But in all seriousness this is probably my favorite basketball podcast ever ! I was totally locked it from beginning to end
Hahaha me too. I wanted to sneak my hand through the screen of my phone and fix it. 😅😅😅
@@mrkmrk7991 right! Lol
Yeah. That was terrible
Bro why’d you have to point it out 🤣😭
Dray really intrigues me as a person as much as a player. He would be a good coach if he decided to become one
I can see him being a better coach than Nash.
Green is a great hooper & communicator
Great coach or GM tbh
Player, commentator, then coach
Nah he’s gonna enjoy his broadcast career. He’s already set up with TNT. Won’t have to worry about his job on the line with great mic and analysis skills 💯
Great respect for what you are offering JJ. High quality, informative, and smooth interviews (letting the guest speak is huge).
Draymond's mic cover being off slightly gives me anxiety😂
I just noticed. Now I'm joining in your anxiety
Absolutely a great listen!
Lmao it's making me uncomfortable
always amazes me how top athletes can recall play by play details from years ago. Like top golfers remember every shot they hit and why from a tournament 15 years ago. I forgot what I had for dinner last night...
There's been alot of great episodes but this is amongst the top for me, love Draymond amazing ep
Jj & dray could be the best show ever, even better than inside the NBA . This is the best NBA interview of my life . Cudos JJ , thanks for making this happen ! You da Man
Amazing episode 👏
fax
Wow! That is the best interview I have seen in a long time. I was locked in for the whole podcast. Hands down, Draymond’s intelligence on basketball is through the roof. The Draymond Green show is just as fascinating. He is true to his core. Peace!
As a Celtics fan, I can't help myself liking Draymond the more I see him in these moments. I've gained a newfound appreciation for him. He's awesome for basketball.
you can tell Draymond works on his communication skills, and he’s very good at it. Love this pod
Read he did it as his major whilst in college
This interview is the BEST interview I’ve seen so far. A lot of hoop heads need to see this because you guys explained everything about the league and what goes on, not to mention going into his version of what was going on with GSW. Love this , thank you JJ 💯💯
I’m 45 mins in and this is a masterclass in podding, convo Transitions, and sustaining nuance thoughts from topic to topic
Steph, Klay and Draymond are a perfect trio, each has a weakness the other 2 cover.
Steph isn't the best defender (though better than many think), but Draymond and Klay are all defense caliber defenders.
Draymond is not a good scorer/shooter, Steph and Klay are 2 of the best shot makers in NBA history (especially off the ball).
Klay is not the best playmaker, but Steph and Draymond are excellent playmakers and Draymond especially is one of the best facilitators in league history (which isn't just raw assist numbers).
Steph can guard none of the top scorers thats why they switch hes among the easiest to score on Dont be delusional
@@johna8759 well yeah he's the easiest to score on out of the 5 on the court...
Would any offensive player attack iggy, klay, dray, or kd when you can just score on a 6'3 player
Klay's playmaking in my opinion is underrated
@@davyjoneslocker4859 there isn't in the NBA many players who can score only on a 6'3 player... So your question is nonsense first of all..
@@alanvalencia8585 yes because he can't playmaking.. Only shoot..
This was so great. At around the 48 min mark Tommy interjected and asked some great questions after JJ and Dray had made great takes. It made me really appreciate the overall convo y’all had. Great content love yall
He's such an amazing interview it's unreal. Draymond has legit sage wisdom and is so honest. It's refreshing to listen to!
This and the Jimmy interview are 2 of my favorites.
Facts no cap. Have you seen the PJ Tucker one tho? That might be a close 3rd!?
💯💯
This podcast has been my favorite for a year and a half and then this episode took it to the "greatest podcast of all" time territory *wink wink*. Unbelievable episode. Will listen to this many many times
This is the best basketball podcast I've listened to in a while! Hearing a basketball savant and a proven winner like Draymond dissecting the game and the spirit that surrounds it is truely breathtaking. J.J. shares the evident passion that Green displays for the game and I am extremely grateful to have such an insight on what playing in the NBA means for them both. Thank you very much!
It was an absolute pleasure listening to this episode. Its crazy how smooth and natural their conversation is, not to mention interesting! I don't even follow basketball but I couldn't stop listening.
I've been listening to The Old Man and the Three for over a year, but this is the episode (with Draymond) that FORCED me to subscribe. The thought that I could miss new content this good was unthinkable.
Same here man. It’s different weird ha
Been waiting for this one to happen! Love hearing Draymond's wisdom and thoughts cuz he always keeps it 100. Great mind and always a great listen!
Both podcasts I listen to each week. Been listening to JJ since the 1st version of the pod. 2 of my favorite players ever for not just on the court but for personality and insight and leadership. I fux with y'all tough. JJ as a kid I watched so it's dope to see the evolution over the years
I've watched every episode, this one is my favorite. How you all bounce ideas & question off of each other was amazing to watch. Thank You For The Content.
As a 32 STH to our Warriors and our love for Dray this has to be one of the greatest interviews ever! Wanting more after it ended!! Thank you JJ and Tommy for this!!
I’m from the Bay Area , & for the longest I’ve been a Michigan State basketball fan. I was shocked when I heard that the warriors drafted Draymond Green. Could not believe teams passed up on # 23. My favorite player on Golden State is # 23 because he hold his teammates accountable during the game because he hates loosing.Every team need’s a floor leader who keeps the energy high throughout the game , all 82 game’s.
So refreshing and genuine. You guys aren't scared to tell it as it is. It goes without saying Draymond Green is so comfy being with JJ Redick and being honest about his pov.
This is not just a great episode, this is more like a historical basketball documentary about one of the greatest basketball dynasties! 1 hour and 45 minutes and you still want more! Once again kudos to jj and tommy for creating the best podcast about the sport we love! !
Amazing Interview! I love seeing Draymond speaking about what he does.
Also, do you mind adding time stamps to these videos?
Time stamps added. Thanks for watching!
@@JJRedick Please put it in the comments instead of the description. The latter doesn't work when we click on the timestamps.
@@tomsea6017 it’s working
@@JJRedick Thank you so much for this episode! Draymond is built differently than 90% of today’s NBA players. The raw honesty, no sugar coating, and absolutely amazing insight made this episode gold. Questions from JJ and Tommy were presented in a way that I aspire to learn from. As someone who recently graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism and one who’s created content, I definitely took notes from this one.
@@JJRedick YES! finally!!
Such a great episode! Really enjoyed the whole listen 😁
Draymond breaking down his thoughts on the suspension was amazing I fully agree with him ngl
League definitely wanted 7 games 🤣
Definitely, one of the best episodes on the podcasts. Great questions from JJ and insights from Draymond.
Been waiting for this one 🔥
Extremely entertaining episode. No wonder he signed a multi-year media deal because when he talks basketball, you just sit and listen. He has the perfect personality for talking basketball. The way he portrays his knowledge is just very entertaining. This is something very few basketball players have. Credit must also be given to JJ and Tommy to ask the right questions and allow Draymond to elaborate on his answers.
What an episode man.. JJ Redick has the best basketball podcast in the entire industry and I'm here for it. Keep em coming JJ, thank you!
Love the shoutout to Rajan Rondo. Truly one of the greatest/smartest to play point.
Draymonds break down on every answer is amazing. All though I know we wont get full locker room talk but these little stories always hit. Great job on JJ and Tony, you guys make it fun to not just listen but also watch. Much love from ATX
You can tell it was a great interview when it feels like a natural conversation. Enjoyed this, thanks 👍
Draymond is a bright addition for the future of NBA on tnt. No idea what other 3 would be good to match his charisma, honesty and insight
Great interview! This is my second time listening to this interview (podcast and RUclips). Draymond was open and honest and full of opinions that only he could deliver. TNT was smart for snatching him up before he retires.
At first I was not a Draymond fan but man over the years I have grown to love this guy! Mad respect for this guy and the way he thinks and breakdown real life stuff... This is the best interview of the podcast.
One of the greatest basketball minds of all time. Great podcast!
When Draymond is done with basketball, I want to see him teamed up with JJ on some show somewhere. They are awesome together ❤️
I love watching Draymond talk, about 10 mins and I’m excited to listen in
Definitely my new favorite episode. Big Thanks to yall for this gem
Amazing episode. Draymond is brilliant and entertaining. Excited to see what he’ll bring to TNT with his new deal.
I’ve took the longer train home so I can listen to the whole pod without my mrs giving me grief. I can listen to Dray talk all day, the intelligence & insight is amazing… I’m glad he’s the heart of our team, couldn’t ask for anything better.
You shouldn’t have to deal with grief for listening to a podcast
listened to this at work and loved every minute. top 5 episode in my books
This is my favorite video on any platform ever. Incredible. Insight, fun, grace, loved it!!|!
I loved every minute of it. Great episode guys. BTW Dray rocks! 🤩
Best Sports Podcast I’ve ever heard easily. Keep it up !
This is the best podcast I’ve heard ever.
If you love basketball, you would love this interview. Truly this is a must listen
Hands down the best podcast episode I’ve ever heard. Incredible!
jj hitting the sweet spot questions that fans really want to ask in the back of their minds. these questions made my mainstream media are either spoon-feeding or creating controversies. this is the perfect interview we want.
Dray and JJ scheduled a home and home. Love it!
I have watched every single episode of TOMTT, and I can tell you by far.... this is the best eppy yet and probably to 5 best sportscast interviews today. Very civil conversation, very well put together, the host knows when to ask questions and when to commentate. I just need Tommy& JJ to promise to bring Dray back cuz this was a hit!!!!! 10/10 for sure.
Wow it's wild I didn't realize how long this video was...it went by so quickly! Draymond is extremely insightful and well spoken on basketball. You can see how much better the Warriors are with him playing both on offense AND defense.
I wish this had a part 2 so badly! Love draymond, always speaks from the heart with so much passion. Thanks for sharing with us, such a great listen!!
Best episode yet thank you for asking him about his role in that warriors system. Great podcast
This episode is a GEM!!!! Gotta listen to it again at leat once!
I've watched this before and ended up here again because I was watching other podcasts of yours. As a non-tenure track teacher, the free agency conversation hits so hard.
Great interview. Used to cheer for the Cavs in those finals, but I respect the warriors.
I think it terms of old man and the three this is the longest interview. Is it possible to see more of these almost 2 hr interviews?
It’s good because Draymond is a good person to interview. Most players wouldnt be a good interview for this long.
I can listen to people with passion for days...this interview felt like 5 mins...loved it
Love the time stamps! Super helpful please keep doing it
In my opinion, Draymond deserves to be in the 75 team more than Dame, AD, and Klay.
I would agree...but basketball analysis hasnt evolved to the point where people can eye test how good someone is. Draymond offers defense, playmaking, dog mentality - all very integral things to a winning team that need to be done on a high level
Deserving to be on the list yes but not over these guys lol
He at least deserves it over Dame and AD. Three championships and a DPOY on a dynasty team where he anchored the defense. I’m not even a crazy Draymond fan but his career def gets slept on.
@@wadevictory9058 why do AD (has done nothing) Dame (who has done nothing arguable less then AD) and Klay the third option on Drays own team deserve to be higher then him?
@bLIZKA scoring wise you are right but every other aspect makes dray the second option behind curry
The Pod we needed, can you imagine the basketball convos that Lebron and Draymond have. If Lebron went with Dray, Steph and Klay adam Silver wouldve definitely intervened.
Crazy
Hella dope interview Yall! Thank You. Really didnt want the interview to end!
Great podcast fellas made work alot better
Could've been a 10 hour episode and I would have still listen after 9 hours
Draymond is just such a great guy, open minded and so good in his language. He will have a career of his own after his nba career. Hope they win this Year, would change the whole course of the gsw legacy
DRAYMOND IS A SAVAGE 😂😂😂 he was really in Blakes ear instigating telling him CP don’t pass the ball 😂😂😂
The time stamps are an absolute game changer. Thank you
Love the conversations that are happening here. This is now my favorite NBA Geek-out fix.
I wonder if draymond is going to be a coach in the future? This dude would be a great HS coach for the younger guys.
Guys of his caliber don't really drop down to hs coaching
@@barfturbine2332 Doesn't mean he wouldn't be a great one, though! (And sometimes people end up coaching high school because they want to spend time with their kid, volunteer time, etc.)
Awesome podcast! Draymond is one of the best speakers, the guy really knows basketball.
yep, not only does he know basketball, but hes actually also willing and able to talk about it.
Wow..incredible interview ..I really appreciate Drays wisdom and insights which you don’t get anywhere else…thanks.
This interview is amazing! Love Draymond! 1 of 1
JJ's face got so RED when Draymond was talking about whooping on the clippers.
First ballot HoF, one of the best defenders ever, one of the +/- savants. And one of the most underrated players ever.
Great episode, love the longer format, love the openness, love the insight.
I just always miss Rubio's being named in those 'most intelligent players', but as Dray said and we all know, winning solves problems and not winning…
Jokic i Rubio su inteligentniji košarkaši od svih koje je spomenuo.
Greatest pod ever. I love the insight and discussion between JJ and Drey. Awesome stuff 👏
Easily my favorite episode ever
