In this YouTube short, Draymond Green and a co‑host discuss NBA forward James Johnson’s reputation as the league’s most feared player. They highlight Johnson’s kick‑boxing lineage—his family holds black belts—and recount dramatic anecdotes, such as him knocking out multiple opponents at once, including a 7‑footer. The speakers describe his massive, powerful legs and suggest that his intimidating demeanor and martial‑arts background give him a psychological edge over younger opponents, making them reluctant to engage with him on the court.

Speaking of James Johnson, probably the most feared man in the NBA.
Yeah, I seen him knock out 3 dudes at one time. I seen him knock out a 7-footer. His whole family black belts.
This is all starting to make sense now.
Yeah, he got videos, his dad beating his legs with like wood, like, but they got their feet up 6 inches. So when you see James, his legs is massive.
I know what he does for the team because playing against them young dudes, the demeanor they carry, y'all ain't gonna do nothing.
Big bro right there. And it allows them to just ball. But that's how I was in college, bro. Our freshman year, they kept calling me Mike Conley when I came to Wake Forest, the football players. He was like, "You calling Mike Conley again, I'm gonna knock you out." But didn't nobody know that he had this kickboxing resume. One of the coaches was like, "Hey bro, leave him alone. He not who y'all think he is." And the coaches started telling him like, "Bro, he a kickboxer." We didn't know either. So we had a meeting. This dude had a kickboxing match set up. The coach has to sit us down and tell us like, "Yo, are you gonna be a kickboxer or a basketball player?" He like, "I need some money." "Oh, you about to go fight for money?" I'm like, "Oh, I'm not fucking with this dude."
