The Warriors\u2019 Draymond Green took the stage at Disrupt today where he discussed his podcast, social media\u2026 and yes, the Jordan Poole punch. Green has spent the last several years building up his resume off the court, most notably through his popular podcast, \u201cThe Draymond Green Show.\u201d Green touched on how his podcast has disrupted the media industry and how he continuously receives a lot of pushback on it.<\/p>\n
Like Green himself, the podcast has courted some controversy, but it also gives listeners a rare look into an active NBA player and the various athletes he invites on.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe doing a podcast is very disruptive to the sports media industry,\u201d Green said. \u201cYou\u2019re listening to me speak about this game in a totally different context than you will hear anyone in the media speak about. Why? Because I actually just played that game. So my perspective is totally different. And in doing a podcast, the media is not able to create the narrative that they want to create. There was a lot of pushback. For those pundits that had a problem with me doing the podcast, I wonder what they\u2019ll say this year because I actually won an NBA final doing it, so it couldn\u2019t have been much of a distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Green said he\u2019s currently working toward building something incredible in the media space outside of basketball. He noted that although numerous notable individuals have founded and worked on several projects at once, such as Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, people still questioned his ability to record a podcast after a game.<\/p>\n
Green, of course, also had to address the punching video that took the internet by storm earlier this month.<\/p>\n
The video depicts Green punching teammate Jordan Poole during practice. He revealed that he rewatched the video numerous times throughout the day when it was leaked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched that video 15 or 16 times throughout the day,\u201d Green said. \u201cI kept putting myself through it because when I watched it, I couldn\u2019t quite understand it. The video is six seconds. Just me walking up. No sound or anything, nothing leading up to it or anything. And so I\u2019m watching the video, and I\u2019m like: \u2018man, this is bad.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Green said he recognizes that he has to address the elephant in the room and own up to his mistake. He revealed that he had recorded a podcast episode regarding the punch, but didn\u2019t release it because he was still reeling from the situation and didn\u2019t want it to seem like he was only addressing the situation for personal gain.<\/p>\n
Green has since addressed the situation during his self-produced documentary called \u201cThe Countdown.\u201d In the opening of part one, Green says he doesn\u2019t care that the video was leaked. When asked about this opening, Green said \u201cnarratives run the world\u201d and that when you take a private situation public, it changes everything.<\/p>\n
In addition, Green touched on his struggles with social media and how he feels about constantly being subject to everyone\u2019s opinions online.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe live in a day and age of social media and it\u2019s great,\u201d Green said. \u201cBut it\u2019s not always censored. So you\u2019re subject to everyone\u2019s opinion, and I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s always the best thing. You\u2019re kind of in a position on Twitter or Instagram where everyone feels like they can say whatever it is that they want to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
