Draymond Green States Having Son On Warriors Bench ‘makes Me Shut My Mouth'

Draymond Green states having son on Warriors bench ‘makes me shut my mouth' originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Very few people in the world can make Draymond Green zip his lips, and his son, Draymond Jr., is one of them.

Draymond Jr. was on the Warriors’ bench for Tuesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chase Center, which meant his dad had to be on his best behavior. Draymond shared what the moment was like while speaking to reporters after Golden State’s 124-112 loss to the reigning NBA champions.

“Yeah, it’s cool. If anything, it makes me shut my mouth on the bench if I was going to say something,” Green said, smiling. “It keeps me in check. I know he’s watching. But it was cool.”

Draymond, of course, is known to always speak his mind. His mouth often has gotten him in trouble in the past, but his son’s presence prevented that from being the case on Tuesday night.

Draymond repaid his son’s savings by granting a favor the young child had asked.

“He came up to me after the game like, ‘Can you introduce me to Chet Holmgren?’ So I went and introduced him to Chet, and Chet was nice. So I really appreciate that. Anytime you give them those experiences that quite honestly money can’t buy, I’m always forever grateful.”

Warriors players, especially the ones constantly getting scolded by Draymond, certainly can only hope he brings his son to the bench more often.
