'Nobody’s Been Successful on Both' – Former Golden State Warriors Star Takes a Jab at Draymond Green For Being ‘Limited’

“Half the players that’s playing that have podcasts, they can’t do it,” Jackson said. “I ain’t seen nobody be successful doing it yet. They’re successful in the media space. I’m talking about on the court and podcast, nobody’s been successful on both.

The former Golden State Warriors star asked their guests, the Club 520 Podcast crew, to name one player who’s been successful on both. Bishop B Henn (B Hen) mentioned Green.

“But his role is super limited on what he gotta do. He’s not like the guy on the team — the go-to guy, the star. He just go around to do the dirty work.”

Jackson then mentioned George, who had to shut down his podcast last season to focus on basketball. But B Hen argued that it was the star forward’s injuries that had slowed him down.

Stephen Jackson regrets leaving the Golden State Warriors

Before Jackson started his media career, he was part of a successful Golden State Warriors team. He wasn’t the best player on the team, but he was one of the top contributors. He was part of the team from 2007 to 2010.

When he asked to be traded, that’s the season Stephen Curry came into the league from Davidson. No one knew that he would’ve turned the league around with his talent from beyond the arc. Even Jackson, who bounced around the league after his stint with the Warriors, had no idea.

According to him, he regrets leaving the franchise.

“That’s when I told them I wanted to get traded, right after Steph came,” Jackson said. “I wish I would’ve known Chef Curry was gonna be Chef Curry.”

Curry went on to become one of the best players in the league, winning four NBA championships.
