Golden State Warriors forward and four-time NBA champion Draymond Green has just stunned the basketball world with a jaw-dropping announcement that has left fans reeling and head coach Steve Kerr absolutely speechless.Touching down at San Francisco International Airport after what was believed to be a routine offseason media tour in Europe, Green stepped off a private jet wearing a custom Warriors throwback suit — but what he said next sent shockwaves through the NBA.
“I’m not just coming back to play,” Green said with a smirk. “I’m coming back… as a co-owner.”
Yes — you read that right.
🏀 DRAYMOND GREEN ANNOUNCES PLAN TO BUY STAKE IN THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
In an unanticipated move, Green revealed he has been in advanced negotiations with the Warriors ownership group to buy a minority stake in the team, a deal reportedly worth $112 million. Sources close to the organization say the deal was quietly in the works for over six months, but even Coach Kerr was caught off guard.
“He told me five minutes before the press conference,” Kerr said. “I thought he was joking.”
“Now I guess I’ll have to ask him for timeouts,” he added with a laugh — though sources say Kerr is still “digesting” the news.
💼 FROM PLAYER TO PARTNER: DRAYMOND’S UNEXPECTED TRANSITION
Green, who is still under contract for two more seasons, insists this move is not a retirement signal — at least not yet.
“I’m still playing. But I want to build legacy beyond just rings and stats,” Green said. “This team gave me everything. Now it’s time to give back — as a leader, a mentor, and soon… an owner.”
He added that he hopes to become a player-owner, a role that hasn’t been officially recognized in the modern NBA era since Michael Jordan’s brief stint with the Washington Wizards.
📺 BUT WAIT… THERE’S MORE
The surprises didn’t end there.
In a secondary announcement, Green also revealed he’s launching a sports documentary company called “Green Light Media,” which already has LeBron James and Serena Williams listed as executive producers on upcoming projects.
Fan Reactions Pour In
Twitter (now known as X) erupted within minutes:
- “Draymond Green going from tech investor to team owner? Bro playing 3D chess.”
- “Steve Kerr when Dray told him: 🧍♂️💀😂”
- “Player-owner arc unlocked 🔓🔥 #DraymondEra”
What’s Next?
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has yet to formally respond to the ownership claim, but insiders believe the league office is “open” to the unique proposal — especially with Green’s influence, marketability, and deep ties to the franchise.
One thing is certain: Whether on the court or in the boardroom, Draymond Green is rewriting the script.
“Legacy isn’t just about banners,” Green said as he exited the press conference. “It’s about building something that lasts.”
