LeBron James seems to be receiving continuous praise from the 4x NBA Champion off late. The Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green has mentioned LeBron many a time on his podcast “The Draymond Green Show”. On his recent podcast, Draymond said “There has never been a better face of the NBA, and I’m not sure there ever will be”, appreciating the King’s 47-point performance on his birthday. 

Draymond is being backed by the fans after being called out by the ‘NBA Today’ host Justin Termine. The host tweeted “So strange he’s made 100s of millions bc of Steph Curry, & will someday be in the HOF because of him—- yet can’t stop praising Curry’s main rival, instead of Curry himself.”

Fans defend Draymond

A fan tweeted “It’s laughable to think Curry is even close to being the face of the NBA”. Another fan wrote “It does count for something. His longevity is a large part of why he is on Mount Rushmore (top 3 all-time).” LeBron has been the face of the NBA for a long time.

Even with revolutionary players like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and many others getting frequent attention from fans, LeBron is registered in the minds of the people due to his longevity and his great performances. With 10 NBA Finals appearances and 18 All-star game appearances, there seems to be no doubt as to why fans defended Draymond. 

Draymond’s continuous respect for LeBron

Green and Bron have been great friends on and off the court. Both the stars have the same agent, Rich Paul who is also the founder of Klutch Sport. Draymond had recently switched his agent to Paul, signing with Klutch Sports. There were rumors of Green joining the Lakers after making a deal with the sports agency. The chances for the trade happening increased after the Warriors failed to give Green a max contract.
