what's up everybody Welcome to the Draymond Green Show YouTube channel make sure you hit that subscribe button make sure you like the post that you love but you can get everything the Draymond Green show right on our YouTube channel so make sure you subscribe check that out thank you but I was very much so undersized for the position for sure and so the way it in all you look at it now and it's like it feels like an eternity ago because the way the game is played now it was way ahead of the Cur do you get Mark credit for that like what you know what I give Mark Jackson credit for um because here's what I will like I can't give Mark Jackson all the credit for that style and by the way coach Jackson to me is like that's like it still baffles me that he's never got an NBA job I can't believe it it's insan I say all the time it's crazy it's insane I can't give him credit for that per se because the switch for me starting like like permanently actually came under Steve okay I don't personally think Mark had the blessing or okay to even be able to do that because you think at the time D le is making $16 million allar Allstar and this is at the time where 16 is Max you know like 16 is 40 now exactly like people here 16 they're like oh like that was Max at that time right and so I don't think he necessarily had the power to even be able to put me in the starting role whereas opposed to when Steve came in Steve came in with a whole different Power uh people forget when Steve first came in he came in with a fiveyear $25 million deal when that was a ton for coaches he was a first time coach yeah he came in with a totally different power and so but what Mark but but where I do give Mark Credit is the confidence that he instilled in us to be okay with being us the confidence that he instilled in Steph to be like no dude like I I can remember vividly conversation him like no dude you're the baddest dude on the planet this is before Steph Curry allar bro he said Steph and Clay were the best shooting back where we all was like is he crazy what's wrong with you everybody though absolutely what's wrong with you dude why why are you saying these I'm we're like we're in meeting wearing the locker room wearing practice and he's like dude you're the baddest dude on the planet and I'm just sitting there like this dude really tell him he's the badest dude on the planet right stuff was just now starting to come into his own like coming off the angle injury I remember my rookie year starting my rookie year uh before training camp actually starts they're this is when they're in talks about giving Steph the foury year $44 million contract sign law Drew holiday all sign that Ros they all signed the same deal and I remember this clearly Steph came in for an individual workout the owners front office doctors everybody sitting at his workout as if we're sitting here in hle field house and Steph is working out right there like going through the draft process or something watching his workout because he was coming off the ankle surgeries so they're trying to figure out through a workout is he healthy enough to give him this $44 million that is crazy get in on the action with the draftking sports book an official sports betting part partner of the NBA new customers who deposit $5 or more can get a no sweat bet up to $1,000 back in bonus bets how cool of a deal is that all you have to do is download the draftking Sportsbook app now takes 90 seconds and use the code Colin C L I N this is the best deal you're going to find new customers it's a no sweat bet up to ,000 if your first bet loses how cool is that only at draftking sports book code is Colin the crown is yours it's the most unbelievable thing meanwhile Mark Jackson is telling this man you're the baddest dude on the planet Klay Thompson like Kay has no conscience zero sometimes to a f but guess what what I've learned is your biggest fault can also be your biggest Trin right and so sometimes even to a fault most coaches would have essentially forced him to have a conscience for sure Mark Jackson fed that like no I do you don't think shoot like what you thinking about shoot the ball right you're that good of a shooter this the best shooting back Court Of All Times blah blah blah and so what Mark instilled in us allowed us to become that because the confidence that he gave that he poured into us I remember the very first day I stepped on one of my biggest pep PE is when people call me too small like oh he too small for the position so David Lee got the ball in the post D Lee that's my dog that's my vet D le got the ball in the post and you know D le you play with d he my rookie it's your vet that's crazy D le is an yeah like I love him to death smart Alec and all that I love D so D get the ball he catch the ball in the post I'm on this side and he's like oh I got a mouse I got a mouse mouse y'all better come help he's holding the ball on this side I reach over snatched the ball throw D le down take off like don't ever call are you crazy Mark Jackson is pouring into that yeah he tells me right away when as soon as I get drafted I'm on the phone with them I I want you to come in here I want to see the same Draymond Green I saw in Michigan State leadership blah blah blah but he's saying it meaning it though absolutely so he istill that in us like where we believe so then Steve come in Steve implements a great offense Mark Jackson had our defense on point already Steve comes in and take the offense to the next level that's when the magic happen and not only does Steve take the offense to the next level but Steve takes the winning ways to the next level because he's one of the ultimate winners in this league yes he is like Steve Kerr if you look at the NBA Steve Kerr Phil Jackson pop pop Pat Riley yeah it starts getting very short after that when you look at when you Bunch that group of guys together they account for like 40 something championships in NBA history if not more that group of guys Steve Curry is in that group he's in that group of guys he's the way the thing Steve Cur taught me about winning is insane and so what Steve then brought was like that the offense and the winning ways and think about what you just said you said Steve cerr Phil Jackson pop and Pat Riley the other two he played for absolutely so all the knowledge he got from those two right and they may not see it exactly the same because I know pop comes from Larry Brown coaching tree right yep so it's like the knowledge he's giv I'm sure the details you're getting the game you're getting is just that's priceless absolutely and so that's where it change it really changed for us like Mark instilled it in us but Steve took it to another level for okay so that was that makes all the sense in the [Music] world
