Draymond Green and LeBron James have had the most complicated relationship in the NBA. From getting into verbal altercations on the NBA court in the Finals to becoming best friends who were spotted enjoying themselves on the streets, these two share a tremendous amount of respect for one another. The former DPOY has only gone on to add more to it with his recent praise for the King.
The 38-year-old is in his 20th season in the NBA and is still averaging more than 30 points per game. Having led his team to their first 4-game winning streak in the 2022-23 season, it seems like Bron still has the adrenaline to lead a side back to the playoffs spot single-handedly.
Perhaps this is just why Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green felt that there will be no better player than LeBron James to become the face of the NBA, he shows the actual spirit of never giving up and is the epitome of hard work and dedication towards the sport of basketball.
Draymond Green hails LeBron James
On the most recent episode of his podcast, ‘The Draymond Green Show,’ the Warriors star went on to heap praise on LeBron James by stating, “I still say, and I stand by this, with 20 years in to still be competing at the same level, obviously, it’s not the exact same when he was 22 or 26 or 30 or whatever. But to be competing at such a high level in year 20, has to count for something. Has to count for something.
“To be playing basketball in this era is absolutely insane, and again I take my hat off to LeBron for what he’s done, for what he’s doing on and off the court. There’s never been a better face of the NBA and I’m not sure there ever will be a better face of the NBA. Absolutely amazing. Salute my brother.”
