Although his Golden State Warriors didn’t qualify to make it into the bubble after five consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, Draymond Green is already showing that he’s ready for his next career, which could either be in television or as a coach, as he continues to be a star on the NBA on TNT.
Green has been great at breaking down the game and also creating compelling television like tampering with Devin Booker. During Thursday’s Game 1 between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers, Green used the film to show where Nuggets star center Nikola Jokic was coming up short on the defensive end. Green’s main point is a lot of the plays that Jokic is failing to make are due to effort rather than athletic ability.

Green was the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year in the NBA and was the lynchpin of the Warriors teams that made the Finals in five consecutive years and won three championships. Armed with the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft and their first time off in a long time, his job on the court isn’t done, even though he already has another career lined up whenever he wants it.
