Dillon Brooks and Draymond Green Clash Again Over Podcasting Debate

In a recent livestream with influencer N3on, Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks expressed his disapproval of NBA players who host podcasts during the season. Among those he criticized was Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green. Brooks, who recently earned the Western Conference Player of the Week title, stated that players should focus on basketball instead of podcasts.

Dillon Brooks Calls Out Players

During the livestream, Brooks commented on players like Green participating in podcasting. He asserted, “They’re not good at basketball, so focus on hoops.” His remarks specifically about Green were highlighted when N3on brought up *The Draymond Green Show*, leading Brooks to say, “He talks too much for me.”

Draymond Green Responds

Green quickly responded to Brooks’ remarks, stating, “He said we talk too much on our podcast, but he’s been kind of going on other people’s stream and just talking too much, if you will. I found it funny. I thought it was cute.” Green acknowledged Brooks’ frustration, considering how outspoken he has been on podcasts in the past.

Furthermore, Green commented on Brooks’ previous appearances on his podcast, suggesting that those discussions could have affected Brooks’ career. “It possibly aided in him being traded away from the Memphis Grizzlies,” Green pointed out. “So I get it. I completely get it.”

History of Tension

The ongoing rivalry between Brooks and Green dates back to 2023, when Brooks criticized Green during an ESPN interview. This feud has led to several intense matchups on the court, most recently in the 2024-25 NBA season.
