The Phoenix Suns guard was a guest on Twitch streamer N3on\u2019s broadcast on Jan. 31, where the duo drove around Phoenix and provided the audience with a mix of content creation and basketball conversation.<\/p>\n

At one point during the stream, Brooks spoke about NBA players podcasting during the season \u2014 something he said he doesn\u2019t agree with. N3on asked who he was referring to and whether he disliked Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green\u2019s podcast.<\/p>\n

Brooks answered honestly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all terrible,\u201d he said. \u201c[Green] talk too much for me, but I\u2019m saying they\u2019re not good at basketball because they\u2019re so focused on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Needless to say, Green\u2019s response to the Suns guard came quickly.<\/p>\n

Green is a four-time champion with the Warriors and has used his platform and success to podcast during the regular season. It reflects his experience and expertise at the professional level of basketball, but Monday\u2019s episode went beyond just hoops.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his podcast, The Draymond Green Show, the Golden State forward didn\u2019t hold back when addressing Brooks\u2019 comments. He explained why current players host shows and podcasts, which he said are often tied to legacy and accolades.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat made guys really comfortable with having these podcasts was because I was an All-Star and a world champion, NBA champion in the same year,\u201d said Green. \u201c\u2026 I know my name moves waves around this place, so I get it. \u2018Say Draymond name, I get a little more attention.\u2019 That\u2019s cute. And I respect it because it\u2019s true\u2026 Unfortunate that he wasn\u2019t able to make his first All-Star game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exchange reflects the broader conversation about professional athletes who podcast while actively playing during their respective seasons. These platforms help fans gain closer access to their favorite players and see them outside of their usual spaces. For many, it\u2019s about continuing to build brand and connection.<\/p>\n

While Green has embraced that space, Brooks views it as a distraction.<\/p>\n

What makes the interaction even more compelling is that Brooks and Green will see each other soon, as the Warriors visit the Suns later this week. With words already exchanged and nothing sugar-coated, all eyes will be on how the two interact face-to-face.<\/p>\n

Before then, Phoenix heads to Oregon to face the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n
