Draymond Green, the talented NBA player, holds his three children in the highest regard, considering them MVPs in his heart. In an exclusive interview with E! News, Green shared how he prioritizes his family, whether he’s at home or on the road for games.

As the son of a three-time NBA champion, DJ Green Jr., who is five years old, enjoys certain privileges, particularly when it comes to pickup basketball. Green recounted a recent incident in the locker room after practice, where DJ sat with him while he chatted with teammates Juan Toscano-Anderson and Jordan Poole. To everyone’s surprise, DJ confidently declared, “All right, Daddy, I’m going to rebound for Steph,” referring to the league’s two-time MVP, Stephen Curry. Juan was astonished by DJ’s remark, acknowledging the incredible opportunity for DJ to mention rebounding for the greatest shooter in basketball history.

Although DJ may not fully grasp the significance of the experience yet, Green finds joy in his son’s innocent perspective. To DJ, rebounding for Steph Curry is simply fun, unaware of the extraordinary opportunity it presents. Green appreciates the incredible experience it is for his son, underscoring the significance of being able to rebound for a player of Curry’s caliber.

Through these heartwarming anecdotes, Green showcases the special moments his children share with his NBA teammates, highlighting the unique and close bond that exists within their basketball family.

Being away for approximately 130 days a year due to his NBA schedule makes it challenging for Green to stay connected with his children, especially during video calls. However, he has discovered a solution in Amazon’s new Glow device, which has made interactive play during video calls much more accessible. Green, a 10-year NBA veteran, describes the device as a lifesaver, bridging the gap and minimizing the physical distance between him and his children—DJ (5), Olive (7), and Cash (17 months).

Regardless of Green’s location, whether it’s Memphis or Minneapolis, he can engage in games, solve jigsaw puzzles, and participate in activities together with his children and his actress wife, Hazel Renee, who guides them through the games. The Glow device significantly contributes to maintaining a strong family connection despite the challenges of being away.

While Green’s children may not fully comprehend the extent of his achievements in the NBA, the four-time NBA All-Star is already planning for his future beyond basketball. In addition to his lucrative basketball income, he has ventured into forward-thinking endeavors such as his role as an NBA analyst on TNT and hosting his own podcast, The Draymond Green Show. Green is laying the groundwork for a post-playing career and envisions himself in broadcasting and analyst roles, as coaching currently does not interest him.

Green emphasizes the importance of not ending his basketball career without a clear plan for what lies ahead. He received valuable advice from Warriors co-owner Peter Guber during his rookie season, which has shaped his perspective on preparing for life after basketball. While he is still enjoying his current journey, Green predicts that if Stephen Curry and the rest of the team can maintain good health as they enter the NBA playoffs, they have a strong chance of returning to the finals and embarking on another successful run.
