Draymond Green says basketball is no longer a poor kid's game: “It's a rich kid's game”
“I didn't learn how to do a proper individual workout till I got to college. Growing up I'm going to hoop. Where's the nearest run. Drop me off, I'll play all day. That's what we did. We hooped all day. I think there's a huge benefit to that because you just learn to see the game”
“It's different when somebody just putting you in a position to tell you to do this move. How do you use your creativity? How do you learn if somebody just say do this? How do you know what your game is if you never tap into it and just figure it out”
“I think there's a time and place for a trainer and I think with where the game has gone, you need those resources in order to be successful”
“I feel like basketball used to be a poor man's game. Poor kids played it. We were poor. We had nothing and it was our way out. Basketball is not a poor kid's game no more. Basketball is a rich kid game”
“The days of seeing LeBron James from Akron, Ohio, from a single mom, those days are numbered. Because if you don't have the resources these days, you can't make it. But that’s also why you don't see as great basketball as you did before, because there's no imagination”
“Everybody's doing the same thing, playing the same way. I think a lot of that is due sometimes to having trainers. You just become a carbon copy of somebody else the trainer created”
"There are a lot of people who have a lot of opinions, but when you prove them wrong, you don't have to say shit to them. Nah. They don't deserve it. Thank you.”

2 years ago Mike Brown got fired for calling out De’Aaron Fox for being an Idiot. Now Mike Brown is going to win a Championship because De’Aaron Fox is an Idiot. Full circle moment
