Draymond Green Says He Will Wear No. 5 if LeBron Joins The Warriors and Takes His Number - His Reasoning is Because 2+3=5 and Draymond Wears Number 23
Lebron will ask for #6 and Draymond will beg him to take his own number instead and call him papi.
I guess you’re joking, but nobody can wear 6 anymore
they let players who have worn 6 in the past wear 6, and no, im not talking about the players who were wearing 6 at the time of the retirement, and then were grandfathered in and have worn it ever since.
deandre jordan started the 25-26 season wearing 9 with the pels, but then, midway through the season, he switched back to 6.
the league will let lebron wear 6 if he really wants it
Except he was the one who said 6 should not be worn and it’s why we switched back to 23 with the Lakers.
He also said in the first cavs stinky that 23 should be retired league wide. Shit changes
Cavs were stinky back then, yes
lol stint is what I meant
People change their minds (just like they change teams and jersey numbers)
The league is holding up finalizing scheduling while he figures out where he wants to go. They’ll let him wear whatever he wants.
No he’s being extremely serious
I’m just mocking Draymond.
Grandfather rule
99% of players in the league are giving up their number to LeBron if he asks lol
The 1% is Bronny
Two bitches
He’s on his knees to a disgusting degree
is offering 23 to james such a crazy thing?
When that’s been your number your entire career with the same team and you won four championships in it… yea kinda.
I think he’d rather win a fifth than have an ego over a jersey number
Yeah sure, imagine Draymond came out instead and said “hell no, 23 is my legacy here. He can’t have it” Then people would be like, who tf does Draymond think he is? Damned if he does damned if he doesn’t so he’s better off doing whatever tf he wants because mfs are gonna bitch about it either way.
That’s a fair point but it’s a bit different because dray and LeBron actually have a phenomenal relationship. I don’t think LeBron would even want to take 23 from draymond for that reason.
I personally wouldn’t fault dray at all if he stood on business over his number, but to your point, plenty of people would. It is a damned if you do damned if you don’t to an extent
you guys will complain either way. if draymond tried to keep 23 you’d all say its classic draymond, but when he’s respectful to another player it’s “weird”
Fax
No, it’s just him being respectful to someone much better than him
Have some respect for your own career dude.
You’re a HOF player too that’s won 4 championships
have you considered the concept of respect exists outside of what jersey number you might wear? At the end of the day it’s a number on a piece of clothing some people don’t care as much as others. No point in getting offended on his behalf for a thing he clearly doesn’t care about lol
Not a rebuttal to what I said at all. And he’s three tiers below LeBron, minimum, regardless of being HOF.
Ok? And it’s LeBron lol. You’re giving him whatever he want
this isnt even an argument against Dray getting on his kness
this is just dropping to your knees alongside him
Would definitely be unprecedented to give up a number that will certainly get retired later down the line, even for a short time.
So if he takes number 5 and they decide to retire his Jersey would they just use 5? Does Dray think they’ll retire his jersey after he hangs it up? If he doesn’t, maybe that’s why he doesn’t care if LeBron takes 23, right?
I’d be stunned if 23 didn’t get retired
Draymond won just as many championships in that jersey as lebron has. Anyone who gives up their number is soft. Especially when you’ll very likely have that jersey retired by Golden State
lmao either dray is a bully or “soft”
Not really. In their first offseason, Bron offered Davis 23 and took 6, but Davis was denied 23 due to… I think existing Jersey sales of his #3.
Offering something to your friend for him to join you is disgusting to him. Sad life.
weird comment
you must be fun
He’s already got the king in him!
Ever since he joined Klutch.
Get him some kneepads
How do you let someone else wear your jersey that will go up to the rafters, WHILE YOU ARE ON THE ROSTER ALSO. I know he’s the goat and all but show some respect for yourself.
seriously if this happened though would the warriors retire 23 or 5?
23 for sure
Yep and just LeBron’s
Both, looney 5 will get retired
Looney isn’t getting his jersey retired
Are you sure?
Respectfully who gives a shit what number Draymond Green wears?
JFC, I miss when Draymond actually stood up to Lebron.
Ever since joining Klutch, he’s been his lapdog. It’s wild
This sounds like the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard in my life
I mean LeBron switched his number so Anthony Davis could wear it if he wanted to. Pretty nice gesture to do for someone you consider your friend.
He’s talking about getting a 5th championship
Impressive display of arithmetic. Draymond never fails to surprise me.
Soft.gif
So?
LeBron punks him in the 2016 Finals and now Dray is begging for his balls in his mouth. Shit is pathetic.
Some trump levels of glazing going on here.
This is getting out of hand, have some shame
Same reason Giannis chose to wear 7.
I know ppl are bashing but that’s a big honor for Draymond to give up his number if that happens
Why is everyone assuming Dray has some deep attachment to his number and he’s giving up his legacy by switching for the GOAT. He probably doesn’t care about his number that much. It’s not that serious
Quick maths
What a good friend
Time to run the « he’s not coming » play from Barney’s playbook.
[ Removed by Reddit ]
He can keep 23, he’s coming to Philly anyways.
2 plus 3 does equal 5
Giannis actually mentioned 3+4 =7 as one of the reasons he chose 7 for his Heat jersey number
I’d pay to hear Steph’s honest thoughts on Draymond and LeBron’s relationship.
I’m shocked he can add
I’ll give Dray credit! The math works!
He’s not going there - they would have no chance of winning and it just doesn’t make sense
Lebron will wear 6.
Draymond could not be anymore ironic he sounds like the leader of a sorority
Just makes everyone’s lives around him harder but that one man comes along and he starts acting all bubbly and right.
Giving up your jersey number for another player when it’s going to be retired on that team is so weird to me. Have some pride man
Funny how we go from him kicking Bron in the jewels and costing his team a ring to kissing Brons ass now
this guy definitely finishes his day with the KING inside him
He math good
Nah man. 5 should be kept out of circulation (and hopefully one day retired) for Loon.
For kevon looney? Bro what’re we doing
Is there a bigger bitch in the NBA then draymond?
Constantly attaches himself to other people in order to elevate himself. Doesn’t matter if it’s Steph Curry and Klay Thompson that he decided he was the third Splash brother or when Steph gets hurt suddenly he gets himself kicked out of the game. It doesn’t matter if it’s the banana boat or if it’s podcasts or anything else he claims greatness on the back of others.
Now he offers his number to LeBron as some kind of fealty to another?
This is as big of a bitch move as Victor Oladipo asking if he can come play with some guys while he was a Pacer. Or Kevin Durant claiming he had the hardest Road when he joined the 73 win Warriors.
LeDiva is a ashes
