Allstate wants to remind fans that mayhem is everywhere.

Like in the parking lot of your kids' PUE championship game. A trophy bigger than your five-year-old is blocking the rear windshield of the car in front of you. As they reverse into you, you're stuck on defense. And if you don't have the right auto insurance coverage, this crash could drain your athletic fund. So switch to Allstate, save money, and get protected from mayhem like this. Based on coverage selected, subject to terms, conditions, and availability, savings vary.

Draymond Green (2:54)

What's up, everybody? Welcome back to The Draymond Green Show. Honored to have this next guest. We'll be listing off accolades for a while, but as you know, must get a proper introduction when you come to The Draymond Green Show.

So here we go. Two time WNBA champion, two time finals MVP, three times WNBA MVP, eight time WNBA All-Star, eight time all WNBA First Team, four time all WNBA Second Team.

My favorite part of the accolade list, two time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year. Two time, two time WNBA All Defensive First Team, two time Second Team, has the number nine retired by the Los Angeles Sparks and the number 33 retired by USC. I'd like to welcome our next guest, the great Lisa Leslie. How are you?

Lisa Leslie (3:47)

I'm doing great. Thanks for having me.

Draymond Green (3:50)

Absolutely. No, thank you for coming on. This is such an honor.

I always crack jokes about you gotta be a legend to have accolades to come on this show. And you blow it out the water. So we really appreciate you coming on.

Lisa Leslie (4:04)

Thank you. A lot of hard work, but you know about that. I love defense. So when you said that, I'm like, every time I didn't make it or get like, you know, all defensive anything, like I really love playing defense. Which is why I admire your game so much. I really love the way you play basketball.

Draymond Green (4:19)

Thank you. I appreciate that.

You know, and that'll lead me right into my first question. As someone, you know, who did it both on the defensive end and offensive end, you start looking at these WNBA first teams, MVP finals, MVP.

I can tell you're not getting those awards by only playing defense. So I just want to talk to you initially. What is your feeling on the defensive side and the offensive side? One thing I always say is just like defense, you have to have chemistry, I mean, offense, you have to have chemistry. Just like the offensive end, you essentially kind of have to have sets on the defensive end and different things. What is your take on the difference in how it's viewed on the offensive end and the defensive end as far as our sport goes?
