In the inaugural episode of the Draymond Green Show, NBA star Draymond Green opens by urging viewers to subscribe and then delivers an unequivocal endorsement of Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign. He frames his support within his identity as a Black man, recalling his own childhood struggles with seizures, long‑term medication (Tegretol), and the emotional impact of his father’s skepticism about a woman president. Green describes how witnessing a Black woman on the ticket inspires hope for his three daughters and for Black and Brown girls worldwide, emphasizing the importance of representation and rejecting any attempts to question Harris’s Blackness. He concludes with heartfelt wishes for her success on the campaign trail. The episode ends with a separate sponsor segment where an unnamed speaker promotes DraftKings Sportsbook, highlighting its ease of use, upcoming football season, and a $150 bonus bet offer for new users with the code HOOPS.

And last but not least, in the spirit of gold medals, as you can see underneath this gold medal, rocking President Obama, Kamala Harris, Oakland native, lifelong Warrior fan, has been nominated by the Democratic Party to run in the presidential election this coming November. And there are so many stories coming out, this thing, that thing, you won't get it from here. We're not tearing down here, we uplifting here. And I wanna send my love, my support to Kamala and her team, whoever she decides that she wants her VP to be, good luck to them. Good luck to them. But I just send my love and my support. Growing up in America as a young Black man, it ain't easy. It is not easy growing up in America as a young Black man. And I remember sitting in, I grew up having seizures and I used to have these like monthly checkups or every couple months I would have to go to my neurologist. They would take blood, check my Tegretol levels out. That was the medicine I was on for, I was actually on that medicine till I was 27 years old. And I remember sitting in the office with my dad and I was looking in the magazine and I asked my dad, I said, "Do you ever think we'll have a woman president?" And he said, "Not in my lifetime." I boo-hoo crying because in that office, because that was the first time I had processed like, damn, my dad gonna die at some point. Like when he said that, it crushed me. Like what? Like you just made me think about you no longer being here. I was crushed. But I remember that moment like it was yesterday. To not only have a woman in the running, we've seen it once with Hillary, but a Black woman? It's crazy. And no, we not gonna do the whole thing. She ain't this, she's not African American, she's— Stop it. Because you use Black against her. And she had to rise above that to become who she became. We not gonna now use Black against her when it's convenient to try to tear her down. Oh, we don't roll like that. So you damned if you do, you damned if you don't. Not here, not anymore. So let's go at her Black card. Yeah. By those that aren't Black. That's an interesting one. How about that? We're gonna go at someone and tell them that they're not really Black, but I'm not Black. That's an interesting one. So won't happen here. Sending all my love and support to our VP, Kamala Harris. Good luck in your race. It's the race of a lifetime. You achieved it. Now go be great. Be great on the campaign trail. Be great in the debates. Be great in your race to history. Your path for a young Black girl to see, wow, I can run for president. That's amazing. I got 3 daughters. For them to just have the idea of, wow, I could run for president one day. That's what she doing. That's incredible. To give that hope to young Black, Brown girls around the world that you could possibly run for president one day too, man, that's different. That's different. And we gonna, they gonna try to say you not Black? I don't think every young Black girl who's watching her think that. I think they see her like, "Wow, that's me." And how amazing is that? So I love it. Again, sending our well, my well wishes, my love, my support. Kamala Harris, you go girl. We love you. That's a wrap from this episode of the Draymond Green Show. Peace.
