I couldn’t pick just one part of his speech. The whole thing was incredible.
Draymond is a star. No stage or moment is too big for him. He was talking to the huge crowd in attendance like he was casually talking to his best friend in private. That’s how great he is.
His entire speech was fantastic. Of course, starting with the champagne. Then he admitted that his speech might get controversial.
The Defensive Player of the Year runner-up soaked in the moment, looking out into the crowd, and asked them to feed his ego as they erupted into “Draymond” chants.
He brought Steve Kerr on the stage and hilarity ensued. He revealed that Kerr isn’t necessarily happy when he shoots the ball. When Kerr told him that he shoots “24%,” Draymond replied with “got that ring though!” With Kerr next to him, he said “we gonna keep winning these championships and that’s no lie.” And I’m perfectly OK with that. I wouldn’t mind a couple more.
Even when it was over, he entertained. Dancing to the beat of the unofficial anthem of the Warriors’ 2014-15 season, OT Genasis’ “Coco.”
Seriously, watch it. Even if you’ve seen it, watch it again. I’ve played it three or four times already. It’s great.
