Similar to bringing Marshawn Lynch, I loved the inclusion of Draymond’s mother, Mary Babers-Green. Of course, each player had their family there, but aside from the Curry clan and (maybe) Mychal Thompson, no family member is more popular than Mama Green. Known for her edgy, passionate tweets, Mama Green has become a star in her own right.
But what I loved about her interview with Ros is that it really gave us a good look into who she is and who Draymond is. She talked about the values that she tried to instill in her son and it was really heartwarming. Hearing her talk really gives you an idea of how Draymond became such a strong leader for this championship team. Way to go, Mama Green! Definitely hope to see more of you in the future.
