The Golden State Warriors have been frequently making the headlines for one reason or the other. While the previous reason was NBA superstar Stephen Curry’s injury, this time fellow teammate Draymond Green has managed to grab the spotlight. When an athlete pulls anything remotely similar to Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, the NBA world goes berserk. Consequently, Green too managed to pull out a similar reaction with a little ‘help’ from NBA legend Michael Jordan.
When Michael Jordan did something, he made sure to accomplish it with style. It is no secret that the Chicago Bulls legend had retired from the league three times in his career. Therefore, when MJ announced his 1995 comeback the first time he retired, the sports world went wild.

It seems like Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green decided to begin his New Year with a bang. On January 4, 2023, the NBA star dropped a major bomb when he announced his podcasting plans. However, it was not the announcement that immediately grabbed fans’ attention, it was the method he had chosen to announce that reminded fans of a particular six-time NBA champion. Green made an ‘I’m back’ announcement, similar to Michael Jordan’s comeback announcement, through a statement after he received backlash for one of his podcast episode during the 2022 NBA Finals.
