The Bay Area power forward Draymond Green has had a roller coaster ride this season. The 4x NBA Champion was suspended twice so far, and the second time could have even cost him his career. However, Green turned it around for himself and for his franchise. It has been all smiles and celebration since his return. Moreover, he further builds on his recovery as he celebrates his longtime friend’s new career move.
Former Super Bowl champion Bennie Fowler and Green have been close confidantes since high school. Fowler, who started off his sporting career with basketball, met the Golden State Warriors star at AAU basketball. He later found his interest in football and worked his way up in the NFL. In the meantime, the duo hadn’t lost their friendship amidst their busy careers.
While Green continues to strive for his team, Fowler pulled himself out of the NFL in 2020. Four years later, he found himself in a fitting career, as the advisor for Springbok Analytics.
