In a relaxed, conversational interview, former Warriors forward Draymond Green and former NBA guard Baron Davis discuss Steph Curry's historic 4,000th career three‑pointer. They reminisce about a late‑night birthday celebration at Curry’s house, where the trio (Curry, Green, and teammate Jimmy) enjoyed wine, poker, and a 6‑gallon bottle of Chateau Margaux. Green marvels at Curry’s 12,000 points coming from threes and speculates about future milestones, such as a possible 5,000‑three mark. The conversation shifts to the Warriors’ recent performance, highlighting low turnover stretches, a 7‑1 record when the team hits three or more threes, and the team’s pursuit of a fifth NBA championship. Green proudly notes his recent achievement as the second‑all‑time assist leader in Warriors history, trailing only Curry, and reflects on his role as a “point forward,” the importance of teammates like Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and the late Jimmy, and the value of team chemistry. Throughout, they comment on media sources (Shams, Pat McAfee) and the excitement surrounding record‑breaking moments.
Chapters
Steph Curry reached 4,000 3-pointers. Come on, dude. 4,000? What did y'all do as a team to celebrate after the game? And then, you know, I don't really know how Sham be getting this info, but word on the streets, Steph had a birthday party last week till 3:00 AM. The last 3 people to leave, Steph, Draymond, and Jimmy. Now that he hit 4,000, how far do you think that he'll go before he's done? Like, what is that record?
You know what, I don't know. I saw this earlier. I saw Shams talking. I think he was on Pat McAfee's show, which is one of the best shows in sports, by the way. I'm like, yo, how did this dude get this information, man? Like, he was at Steph's house. Like he had this party at his house. Where does he get this information from? It's unbelievable, Champs. But yeah, you know why we all stayed? 'Cause Steph opened some incredible wine. And us three love wine the most on that team.
That's true.
And we enjoyed all of it. And he got us ordered some bottles, and I got a picture of the bottles, excuse me, he opened. Jimmy brought a big 6-gallon of Chateau Margaux.
Come on, dude, I don't even know what that is.
Man, like we had a time. Michael Mina on the 102s slash the Pooh. That's killer.
That's killer. Now that's my boy.
The Pooh with Michael Mina, I mean, what's there to leave? We played some poker. It's a great time. So I don't know how Shams get these reports.
Me neither.
But of course we was the last 3 there. I drank wine, so much wine. We all did. It was a great time. Shout out to Steph Curry, Ayesha. They were generous hosts to have us over at the house.
Yeah.
Man, that brother went deep in the cellar.
In that part.
So of course me and Jimmy and him—
He went into the bag, huh? He had to go into the filing cabinet, oh yeah.
He went deep into the cellar. And by the way, told us, "Yo, y'all come on. Like, let's go to the cellar and pick up some wine." Pick out what we drinking. Oh man, what? Yeah, we had a field day.
Invite your boy over too. I like wine. I don't even drink that much, so you ain't gotta.
We open some bottles. But bro, that 4,000 3-pointer, man, it's crazy.
Yeah, that's crazy, man.
I told him like, bro, 4,000 3-pointers, that's nuts. You scored 12,000 points in 3s. I don't have 12,000 points in my career. This man has scored 12,000 points. In threes. Almost half of his points. Almost half of his points in his career are threes.
That's crazy.
That is insane, man.
That's insane.
But to see him do that, to see him do it at Chase Center, he opened up the 3,000 club, he opened up the 4,000 club. If he want to, he can get the 5,000. It's just a matter of if he wants to or not. Like if he wants to put that type of energy and effort if he wants to, he'll get to 5,000 before anyone else get to 4,000.
Oh, that's a fact.
And so—
That's a fact.
You know, like, if he wants to though, he can open the lead up that much more where he could get to 5,000 before anyone else get to 4,000.
I agree, man. Especially the way y'all working, man. You know, getting J.K. back. You know, Steph talked about, You know how he's focused on winning that 5th ring.
Yeah.
And this team has what it takes. I mean, we talk about levels, right? Draymond balling ever since the Jimmy trade. Like, what's another level you gotta get to? Or what does that level look like for the Warriors to go chase that 5th ring?
You know, for the most part, we've been a good, done a good job of not turning the ball over since Jimmy been here, which has been a real key to us winning because we're able to set our defense, which is great. Last few games we fell off the Richter scale. I mean, went way off the Richter scale when it comes to turnovers. Then last night we had the first 19, 20 minutes of the game, we had 2 turnovers. The last 4 minutes of the first half, we had 6. And in large part, I threw one pass that was so bold, 'cause we was just trying to get Steph to record at that point. Like, you up 23, right?
Yep.
You like, yo, let's get this record, right? And I think we all were thinking the same thing, man. I threw one pass. It was like a minute and 25 left on the clock in the second quarter. I threw one pass. I saw a little gap on the floor. There was no gap in the air. There was just a little gap on the floor. I'm like, ah, if I could bounce it right there on that spot, it's gonna get through this gap and lead him to a wide open corner three. It was so stupid to throw the pass. But I think we all was just thinking the same thing.
Yeah, you're right. Like, let's get him this record. Like, you feel it.
The tension building, like people wanting to see this record. And I've been through a few of these with him where he's breaking a record and you know, that tension's building up.
That excitement too.
Yeah, it gets hectic trying to get to it.
But the Warriors is 7-1 when you hit 3 or more threes this season. And then I also wanna say congratulations on becoming the second all-time assist leader in Dub Nation Warriors history, bro.— you deserve that, man. That's just a hell of an honor, a hell of a, a hell of an accomplishment coming from a power forward. And, and in your position, redefining what a point forward is, right? What a playmaker is, what a facilitator is, what the brains of the operations of the offense and the defense is. So, you know, you definitely deserve your flowers, bro. Second all-time leader in assists. Who, who is number one?
Steph number one. Is it really? Yeah, Steph number one by a long shot. He got me by like 16 or 19 assists or something like that.
I'm like, I know Steph ain't passing like this.
BD, check this out. So there's this notion that I don't do anything but pass the ball, which I take great pride in my passing. I pass the shit out the ball. So thank you. I take great pride in that.
Draymond Green.
But Steph Curry has 1,600 more assists than me.
Right.
1,600, right? And then you have people saying like, "Oh, he ain't no point guard." You know what I'm saying? Like, "How y'all gonna put him in a conversation with Magic?" And, "He ain't no point guard," right? The logic of the things that these people be saying just don't make sense. But yeah, it's Steph. And who I passed for number 2 is Guy Rodgers.
Ooh, okay.
Guy Rodgers. But man, it's such an honor, bro, to be like second all time. Number 2 is number 1 for me, it's Steph Curry. I'm like, "Hey, move him out the way." I'm number 1.
Steph, get out the way.
Steph gone, man. Get outta here, bro. That man on another planet. Get him out the way, man. Start a record book for him. Put his assists over there. I'm number 1, I'll take that.
That part.
You know what I'm saying? But it's an honor, bro, to be, second all time. Like, I didn't know if I'd have an NBA career. To be second all time assist leader in an organization, that's crazy.
That's crazy.
Playing the position I play.
That's incredible.
Man, it's such an honor. But I've had great teammates, bro. Like playing with Steph, playing with Klay, KD, Brandon Rush shot the lights out the ball when I first got here. Throwing lobs at— Andre and Bogut and some lobster kid. Like, man, I've had great teammates. This organization has done a great job of surrounding us with the talent to fit around us to make our games rise to an even higher level. So I'm lucky, man. I don't take it for granted at all, bro. Like, to be second all time in something in the history of an NBA organization, Sometimes I just, I wanna cry to pat myself on the back, man.
You got to, man.
I gotta pat myself on the back.
Man, you have to.
Now I ain't set out for that. You know what I'm saying? Like, BD, I ain't come in here like, yo, I'm trying to chase this. I came in like, yo, I'm trying to get a spot. Like, I'm a second round pick. I just wanna, I just wanna like make my case to be on the team.
Right.
And for that to happen, bro, I'm excited. That was a dope one.
That's the gang giving back, you know? That's all we can do is pour into the game. And you know, you've been pouring into the game, your heart, your passion, and all that is paying off.
