Known for his candidness, Garnett highlighted the challenges players face today and how their commitments have expanded beyond the court. His words seemed to echo the sentiment that the contemporary NBA presents a unique set of pressures that players like him didn’t have to contend with.
This comment takes on added significance in light of a statement Draymond Green made about his own endeavors outside of basketball. In an interview last year, Green stressed the importance of his podcast, “The Draymond Green Show,” comparing it to operating a business. He added, “So, it’s something that I take as serious as I do basketball. And so, if I’m going to show up for the game, I show up for (the podcast), or it doesn’t work“.
After hitting the knock-out deal with the Golden State Warriors, Green seems to be on the right path.
