4. The Draymond Green Show
The Golden State Warriors’ star’s show has developed from instant game recaps to sit-down interviews with some of the league’s top names like Trae Young. Green’s podcast leans more with JJ Redick’s in terms of basketball knowledge than funny stories.

"The way my mind is built – I'm more of a fan of the art, right? The art of the game. When Jokic goes out there, he's literally painting himself on that canvas."#MileHighBasketball pic.twitter.com/TPXT6SU8Ci
