Draymond Green has never shied away from the spotlight—whether it’s locking down superstars on the hardwood or leading the Warriors with his trademark intensity. But this season, while he made headlines for earning his fifth All-Defensive First Team selection, someone else in the Green household was quietly preparing for a breakout of her own. As Draymond continues to cement his legacy on the court, his wife, Hazel Renee, is stepping into the limelight in a whole new arena—and this time, it’s her name lighting up the marquee.
Renee Green recently landed her first major role in the Amazon Original indie film The Final Play, portraying the love interest of retired basketball star Breylon McNeil. While she’s had appearances in popular series like Empire and Power Book IV: Force, this marks a breakthrough moment in her acting career. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and leading the cheers is none other than her husband, Draymond Green. Ahead of the film’s premiere, Renee shared the trailer for The Final Play on social media. Draymond proudly reposted it to his Instagram story, adding a succinct but heartfelt caption: “Movie star.”
Ayesha Curry also joined the crowd of fans, commenting a very cheerful, “Yesssssssssssss”. But if you thought that’s all, guess what? It’s not. Today, the matriarch, Mary Babers, shared a still from the movie and wrote, “Go & watch The Final Play on Prime My daughter-in-love is on there!” and tagging Renee added “Yay!”. Likewise, Hazel returned the love as she re-shared Mary’s story and captioned, “LOOOOOVE YOUUU MOMMA,” heart emojis, “THANK YOU”. Now those are some in-law goals. Truly a family of legends.

Turns out Renee isn’t the only one who shines in front of the camera. Following the Warriors’ early playoff exit, Draymond Green has been making waves as part of the Inside the NBA crew, all while continuing to host his popular podcast, The Draymond Green Show. Together, he and Renee aren’t just adorable—they’re quickly becoming one of the most dynamic and talked-about power couples in sports and entertainment.

The Warriors’ power couple play defense off-court
During Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden, Draymond Green—serving as a TNT analyst—found himself in a viral courtside exchange. A Knicks fan heckled him over the Warriors’ early playoff exit, shouting, “How was Cancun?”—a jab at the common offseason getaway for eliminated players. Without missing a beat, Green clapped back: “Can you afford to go?”

While the moment quickly made its rounds online, Hazel Renee was focused on a different highlight—her husband’s growing presence in the broadcasting world. Proudly reposting a clip from the broadcast, she wrote, “Outside of basketball… he really is made for THIS Always gonna find a way to support ya baby.” It was a reminder that beyond the back-and-forth banter, the Greens are steadily building something special—on the court, on screen, and always in each other’s corner.

Always pushing each other towards their goals, and being each other’s rock when times are tough, these two are everyone’s relationship goal. While on his TNT duty in New York, Dray was criticised by some “passionate” Knicks fans. Well, the Knicks fans don’t like him, why? Because he called the Knicks a “fluke” last season. And New Yorkers know how to hold a grudge.
In such a time, Hazel gave everyone a reminder of who exactly Draymond Green is. The movie star posted on her Instagram story, “9x All Defensive Team! Very Impressive Amor. When I Say He’s The Man! THEE MAN!! Congratulations To Another Accolade Added Baby.” Green has spent 13 long seasons in Golden State and has been instrumental in their four titles wins. Renee’s tribute is an echo of his resilience and triumphs the NBA legend has achieved beyond all struggles.
