Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. For the season finale of The LaVar Ball Show, LaVar Ball sits down with four-time NBA champion Draymond Green for a candid conversation…
Draymond GreenGuestLaVar BallHostAnd that's what I'm saying, Draymond, because after playing basketball for so long...
How do you find something that's what's next in line? I don't know if it's actually the word of taking the place of basketball, but to moving on to the next thing.
Well, I think most importantly is finding something that creates that same spark as basketball.
was... five years old, basketball has created this spark in my life that nothing else has created in that manner.
And so when I look at now and doing more things on the media side, number one, I love basketball and it keeps you close to the game.
Number two, and I think you'd remember the day and age of when inside stuff, and all these different shows on TV that you can actually turn on the TV and learn about the game of basketball.
When you remember the day and age where Michael Jordan was celebrated, not ridiculed like LeBron James.
And now being... one of the players and seeing that that's not a thing at all.
Nowadays, we wanna talk about, I can't remember a single time where someone said, man, LeBron James, excuse me, Scottie Pippen need to win this game or his legacy is tarnished.
Yeah, it could be game 46 of the regular season and you turn on the TV and they're like, man, he really need to win this game against Steph Curry or he'll be tarnished forever.
And you're like, man, in game 46, we talking legacy? You know, and so just seeing how the whole space changed I got into this space because I'm like, yo, I want to bring some of that back.
Like, I want to bring back also celebrating, you know, some of these, some of these stars, right? Like, not, now, granted, we're always going to tell the truth, you know, and we don't keep it real, but, I'm not looking for an angle to tear somebody down.
And so I try to bring a different, a fresh outlook of something different to the screen that you can't necessarily find because it doesn't really exist anymore.
And that's what I'm saying, Draymond, because after playing basketball for so long...
