What OKC Thunder are MISSING to compete for an NBA championship | Draymond Green Show
Draymond Green tells Baron Davis why he thinks Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder don’t have the seasoned demeanor an NBA contender needs to instill fear in their opponents, even with OKC being one of only three teams left undefeated this year along with the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Warriors are definitely ready for the moment!! ššš¤©š¤©
No One:
Baron Davis: YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I somewhat understand it. But imo for a young team they are on their way
This Is What I Hate About The New Age Player-Podcast Eraā¦ Thereās No Reason Why Dray Should Be Giving This Typa Game To His Competitors When Their Still Competing
This The Typa Shit You Supposed To Share In Reflection When Youāre Retiredā¦ Active Athletes Shouldnāt Be Publicly Doing This About The Competition
So when the Warriors were shimmying and waving towels after every other Steph 3 itās cool but a postgame interview with teammates is a problem? I rather my team play around after the game instead of during the gameā¦just me š¤·š¾āāļø
Thunder getting a chip with all 7 in every interview ;p
I donāt think they care what you think, they gonna clap everyone in the league all year long and support eachtoher the whole way
Draymond doesnāt understand that Okc is not just āgoofin offā during interviews. They are very mature without ego. Heās hating on Okcās authentic chemistry. Okcās work stands for its self. You donāt win 57 games despite being one of the youngest teams in the league by ājokesā. This year they will be even better when they are healthy.
So Draymond has said some dumb stuff over the years but this takes the cake š Iām bias becuz OKC my team but the one thing thatās been said about OkC for over 2 years now is they are a very mature and serious group of guys from top to bottom. Having your star players show love to the guys who donāt always get the spotlight in the postgame and linking that to readiness is maybe the dumbest argument Iāve ever heard from a pro basketball player. When OKC smokes yāall by 20 maybe then you will think they ready?š
We talking about post game interviews instead of the actual game.
Okc beating people by 20…teams are definitely scared lol
Draymond your comments on OKC sounds like youāre an old man on the porch yelling at the kids to get off your lawn.
So basically what Draymond Green is saying is that you have to be a a**** in order to win a championship. You can SMILE AND WIN A FIGHT BRO.
Shai is more worried about being with his guys ,he dont care as much about being super well known
We was 4th in defense last year,how are they not dogs? Lol
No one has to do things the way you want it done Techmond. Weāve been trying to get you to stop playing dirty and leading the league in technical fouls for years, but somehow youāre maturity just wonāt allow you to figure it out!
So SGA has superstar talent, but he's not a superstar because he doesn't get media coverage…
Respect to BD and heās entitled to his own opinion but he aināt ever win shit to say why OKC needs to win. Theyāre not immature cuz of the interviews it just shows the camaraderie and the bond they have
šš bro they dont care they act like a family why are yall so lame
What's crazy is no one was saying that about golden state while yall was bsing and playjng around before the games yall some haters atp
For everyone saying what Dray said. Sometimes, he's telling the truth but sometimes he's just hatin
Itās like these two havenāt watched a single OKC game but want to spout out anyway. Itās like Draymond didnāt even watch the OKC games that he was a part of last season. The Warriors got humiliated by OKC last season. Maybe thatās the reason for the stupid take.
The Warriors were literally playing āIām in love with the Cocoā after games and posting it on their socials in their first Finals run. Goofin off? Lmao
oh snap! Remember what you said about Cleveland.
Lakers lost no longer undefeated
To a certain extent what he's saying is correct shai can still show the other guys love but the relationship needs to be altered slightly. I hope shai sees this interview.
Nah this is a horrible take draymond but I donāt blame you for not being tapped in with okc fr. You will see soon
5:27 thatās fucking cap everytime down the stretch they looking for sga none of them play hero ball they look for the best player , last year the had a terrible match up giddy couldnāt shoot the ball they literally left him wide open it was so bad they put Isiah Joe in the starting line up in the middle of the playoffs did they not watch the games last season !
6:19 so he need to be more selfish and do interviews and make him it about him and his brand to win a championship?
It's a front though, it catches their rivals off guard, make them over confident
Dray is 100% correct
Rookie mistake from Draymond. What is perceived as silly is actually called a team who is all bought into an unselfish system and itās a beautiful thing. When they have the best record in NBA history, that puts teams in check for sure.
OKC THUNDER š WE THE FUTURE GET USE TO IT
Draymond the only one to say this.. bahaha dude is and always has been the jealous type. Bro chill and enjoy this dynasty that Sam presti and OKC is cooking
This the most old head hating shit ever, no high level thinking just post game interview analysis.
Trust me dray, nobody been looking forward to guarding Shai since 2022. Team full of dogs, aināt no need to transfer anything ā¦ them barks at the end of the game aināt for nothing.
They don't miss anything at all šš
Most steals and blocks as a team To start a regular season in a 4 game strech in the history of the game and they not instilling fear after being the youngest 1st seed? Come on Dray. I expected different insight coming from a 4 time champ!! You can't be talking about the same media that rarely ever covers the team or let alone get the players names confused whenever OKC does have segmants and Now all the sudden they gotta comform? They simply doing it their way just how yall did it yalls way… "jump shooting teams dont win".. Shai just came off a 30 ppg season shooing 55%. Last guard to even have a similar feat is your teammate who i know for a fact has heard it all. Yall even said "What can they say now after ring #4 šš
Talent was never the problem of the Thunder. It's something else
Iām also assuming kicking people in the nuts and getting ejected from games (especially during the finals) is a level of maturity and intensity these young Thunder are missing.
For the OKC fans, ya'll won 1 series the first year you broke into the playoffs. GSW and OKC won the same amount of series in 2 years. Ya'll need to start winning at least WCF to be talking with that much ego.
Ya'll the 1st round champions for now lmao
Respectfully, this is some bullshit. GSW danced, taunted, and gestured on the court for years during the actual games, but because them young boys wanna show their solidarity with each other and include their teammates in their POST-game interviews, theyāre immature? Also I fuck with, BD but BD has never won a ring before and for Draymond, on every championship team heās been on Draymond has been at most, the 4th most important player on the team (Curry/Klay/Iggy, Curry/Klay/KD, Curry/Klay/Wiggins/Poole) he has never had the responsibility of having the team on his back and willing them to a championship. Wtf does he know about leading a team to victory? Also the only reason SGA isnāt a superstar yet, because ESPN and most national sports network, only started paying attention to the Thunder at the end of the season last year
dumb af to think the entire team bonding is gonna make them worse. the stars sharing the spotlight and interviews with role players isnt gonna make them soft its gonna show they respect each other and it shows in the games.
