“You owe it to the Warriors, they’re the ones paying you the 20, 30 million” - Chris Broussard believes basketball is the only reason Draymond Green has a podcast, says the podcast can’t be as important
Draymond Green has been in the news more often than not for both on and off-court related issues. In particular, Green has been criticized for his utterances on his podcast as well as his tweets.
The Golden State Warriors forward has never been shy about expressing himself on the court, nor does he back down on his social media platforms or his podcast. The podcast is a medium where the four-time All-Star connects with fans while making his mark in the media space.
Green is rumored to be on course to replace Charles Barkley upon Barkley's retirement from TNT. And the 32-year-old has doubled down on his commitment to the media path, equating it to his basketball career.

This utterance from Draymond Green has infuriated Chris Broussard of "The Odd Couple" on Fox Sports, who disagrees with the forward. Broussard stated that while Green has a great personality, basketball got him to where he is today - and so he owes it to himself to at least be locked in.
Broussard further said the Warriors are the ones cutting his check, and that he owes them, and his teammates, a chance at the championship title.
"You got a great personality. You'll say what you want, which is a strength," Broussard said. "But don't get it twisted. This all started with basketball and you owe it to yourself but at this point.
"I'ma say, as much if not more importantly you owe it to your teammates you owe it to the warriors they're the ones paying you the 20 - 30 million, whatever it is you have a chance to win another championship."

Equating his podcast to his basketball has raised a lot of eyebrows. In particular, many are questioning the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year's commitment to the Golden State Warriors.
Broussard is of the opinion that while Green can do whatever he chooses to do, he cannot say it is as important as his basketball career. He hinged his argument on the fact that basketball is the reason he has a podcast in the first place.
"It's not that you can't do something else, but don't tell me it's as important to you as the podcast," Broussard said. "Because guess what! The only reason you have a podcast is because of basketball, so don't you can't tell me it's as important as basketball."
