And no, not top 5 picks of the NBA draft. Top 5 second round picks, that is, because that is important. Before we get outta here, I saw one of the funniest things on Twitter. I may start looking for these on the show. Kevin Durant, I'm gonna read it to you 'cause I don't, it's no point in me butchering it. Kevin Durant, some dude goes SJ Basketball 8, @SJBasketball8 says, "KD so sorry, look at what his reputation is now, LOL." KD retweets him and go, Well, check ball then. And I thought that was hilarious because so many fans think that they could just do like, how, who are you to call Kevin Durant sorry? Like the things that fans actually say is crazy. So I'm gonna start calling you out on this show. And by the way, everybody gonna be like, K is sensitive. Kevin sensitive. He responded to Casual, but all he said was check ball. And it's very true, by the way. You said I'm sorry, at least from the neighborhood I come from, if you say I'm sorry, check up. Like, we don't need to keep talking about it. You don't need to say how good, how sorry I am. I don't need to say how sorry back. You check up. Check ball then. I thought that was a hilarious tweet that I came across just for some of these fans who be talking crazy. So we gonna start highlighting y'all on this show. But let's get into this top 5 pick. The top 5 second rounders. My top 5 second rounders. So I'm gonna give you a list of second rounders. You got Joker, Dennis Rodman, Manu, yours truly, Marc Gasol, Tony Kukoc, Gilbert Arenas, Paul Millsap, Chris Middleton, Isaiah Thomas. Yeah. Isaiah Thomas from Washington. Not old Isaiah Thomas. Mochiks. Draymond Green show Isaiah Thomas. Not that one. Yeah, come on, Draymond Green show. Not bad boys Isaiah Thomas. That's a better way of saying it. My fault, Zeke. Doc Rivers, Jeff Hornacek, Jalen Brunson, Just to name a few. I think Pascal was the end of the first round. But yeah, those are some second round picks. So my top 5, my top 5, Joker, obviously, Dennis Rodman, Manu. Mark Gasol, and yours truly. No question. Yeah, that would be my top 5 second round picks. I think Jalen Brunson, if he continues to play the way that he's playing, I think he has a chance to creep up there. But that's my top 5 right now. Signing off, yours truly.
Peace.
That's a wrap from this episode of the Draymond Green Show. Congrats to all of those 58 guys that got drafted. Enjoy it. Tomorrow, it don't mean shit. You gotta go stake it. Gotta go put your flag in the ground, earn your spot, because they only care how long you get drafted for a day. And then we all start on an even playing field and may the best man win. And I done seen some of those top picks not win. So don't think it's a guaranteed if you up there because you got a Draymond Green coming from the 35th pick that want the spot. So good luck to all those guys. Congratulations to them and their families. This is a great day. Enjoy it. But tomorrow, lock in. Peace.
