Five-time NBA champion Magic Johnson gave his take on the Draymond Green and Jordan Poole matter. The Hall of Famer recently appeared on former NFL star Shannon Sharpe’s podcast show. Johnson talked about the entire situation and gave his thoughts on Green’s actions. The podcast episode was released on October 24, 2022.

On the latest ‘Club Shay Shay’ podcast episode, Sharpe bought up the incident that happened. Sharpe said that while the sports community was busy speculating on the situation, the leaked video pretty much clarified that Draymond Green was at fault. In complete agreement with Sharpe, Johnson said that Green was definitely to be blamed.

To give him the benefit of the doubt, Johnson said Green was a great leader and a smart person. The former Los Angeles Lakers legend also said that Jordan Poole was similar to Green in that they both got drafted late and both had the thirst to prove themselves.

“He’s talking about, ‘I don’t regret it’, yes, he does. Draymond regrets it because he’s been a good guy,” said Johnson.

Furthermore, Johnson said that if Green could reverse his actions, he definitely would because he loved his teammates.

Johnson agreed and said” “No, it’s never going to be the same. You’re friendly and the other thing, respect. So, I don’t have to like you, but I gotta respect you.”

Many might agree with Johnson and Sharpe that things are not going to be the same anymore. However, fans can only hope that the incident does not take its toll on the Warriors and affect their game.
