The controversial new media presence, Draymond Green, appeared on the latest Jim Rome Podcast to talk about returning the Warriors to glory, getting right mentally and promoting the new Amazon series called, The Sessions.
But Jim Rome did take time to ask about Green's Podcast The Draymond Green Show, and how it took the NBA Playoffs and NBA Finals by storm.
"The podcast became a thing during the Finals," Rome began his question, "because I'm not sure any player has ever really let us in the way you did during a championship series. It became a big thing. What was your reaction to all of the reaction to your podcast?"
Green did not waste a moment before explaining that the attention it garnered surprised him.
"If you want me to be honest with you, I was a little shocked by what the reactions have been to it, especially during the playoffs. Obviously it was something that had never been done to that magnitude before in our league. So it's a really big deal. It's groundbreaking. Everyone's talking about it. It became a big thing. It became a topic of discussion."
Draymond then added that his podcast becoming a "thing" was beneficial, in his eyes, to the sport itself.
"For me? That's amazing. Ultimately they are helping to grow the audience of the podcast. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of the game. I enjoy helping grow the overall knowledge of the game of basketball because ultimately I think that puts our game in a much better place."
Green ended his comments by ackowledging that the interest definitely helped download numbers, no matter who they came from.
"I absolutely love it. For people to have the reaction that they had to the podcast, I am thankful for that. I don't take it for granted. Appreciate all our supporters, all our listeners. Those that listen because they enjoy it, or they enjoy the content or they enjoy me or they are fans of mine, I appreciate them.
And then those that listen because they are haters I appreciate them because ultimately you're listening, you're a supporter and for that I thank you."
