Nightcap Hour 2: Draymond Green RECRUITING PITCH to LeBron + Heat EYEING Russell Westbrook + Tim Hardaway Sr. TAKES ISSUE With Players Podcasts + Stefon Diggs CLAIMS He’s BEST WR #2

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
Draymond Green spoke about recruiting pitch for LeBron James on their golfing trip. Let's take a listen to what Dray and his recruiting pitch was.

**Draymond Green** (0:08)
And us being brothers, I'd be remiss if I don't take the opportunity to throw my pitch in there. I'd be crazy if we're together for X amount of days and at no point am I like, yo, we need to chop it up. Like, what the hell is going on? What's what we doing?
And so there's that. Of course, I did that. And of course, the pitch was crazy. Like, I think I'm pretty decent at it. Does it change anything? Does it make anything happen? I don't know. I hope so.
With the things that I shared in it, I believe it definitely is going to make the brain work a little bit. You know, if I don't think there's a decision that's been made, but say if there was, it'll make you think twice about it. You know, and so, that's that.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:13)
And today, according to Front Office Sports, multiple Western Conference executives expect LeBron James will sign with the Warriors over the Cavaliers.

**Draymond Green** (1:23)
Wow.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:24)
Joe, who been saying that, Joe?
Hey, yeah, I think I heard you utter that or something. You may say it's something like that. All things being equal, Joe, all things being equal, the Warriors make more sense than everybody. Because what, when LeBron James won championships, what was he surrounded by? Shooters. Shooters, yeah. Baddie A, Rio, Mike Miller. Mike Miller, Kyle Corver.

**Draymond Green** (1:55)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:55)
JR Smith. Yeah. Guys that, Danny Green, Caldwell Pope.

**Draymond Green** (2:01)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:02)
Guys that can knock down open shots.
Who could knock down better open shots than one? Stefon, Wardell, excuse me, Wardell Stefon Curry.

**Chad Johnson** (2:13)
That's just one person. But let me tell you something about the Heat.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:17)
Here he go.

**Chad Johnson** (2:18)
You got Wiggins, right?

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:20)
Yeah. Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (2:21)
We know he's 40% from three, huh?

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:23)
Yeah. Yeah.
Would you rather take, I tell you what, Ocho, would you rather take Wiggins 40% from three?

**Chad Johnson** (2:30)
Let me finish.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:31)
Okay.

**Chad Johnson** (2:31)
We got Tim Hardaway Jr. Yeah. Another shooter.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:35)
Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (2:36)
And we got Young Bull.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:38)
We got Young Corporal.

**Chad Johnson** (2:39)
Huh?

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:40)
Davion Mitchell?

**Chad Johnson** (2:41)
Well, no, he the point, ain't he?

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:43)
Yeah, he can shoot, though. I mean, he okay.

**Chad Johnson** (2:44)
He ain't great. We got somebody else coming, though.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:47)
Oh, you got Klay Thompson coming, huh?

**Chad Johnson** (2:49)
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe, y'all listen to me now when I'm talking, man. You know, people be hee-hee and ha-ha and thinking I'm lying. And I've been right all year long.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:58)
Yeah.
What you got about Ray Allen, Ocho? I mean, Joe and Ocho?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (3:03)
Oh, in Miami. Yeah, yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:04)
Yes. Shooters. That's when he thrives at his best. He wants shooters around him because he knows the double team is going to come. And guess what? The double team doesn't come because they're attached to those shooters. Now he can get downhill more freely. Kevin Love revamped his game to become what? A shooter. People don't realize Kevin Love was 24 and 12 Every night. I don't think people realize just how great Kevin Love was. He was on a Hall of Fame trajectory with no championships in Minnesota, but he was 24 and 12 Every night. Kevin Love was getting 30 points and 20 rebounds. Every night.
Kevin Love was him. He revamped his game because he realized that was what's best for the team. Very, very, very unselfish. Yeah. Hey, you got a great point. When he's surrounded by those shooters, it makes everybody stay home. Yeah. And it opens up the floor for him to be able to operate, navigate and score, make plays, post up. And that's how you control a game, especially in the postseason when the game starts to slow down a little bit. Unc and Ochocinco, and you like, look, boom, we got to get something good. We had two, three possessions, dead possessions to where we hadn't got anything. Shit. Chad, you mean, tell me, boy, you put him and that boy Wardell on the same team, huh? Y'all saw it. You saw it at the Olympics. Y'all saw it. That ain't, ain't, ain't, ain't, ain't, ain't, ain't. You see it. That ain't gonna work for the Tony Bakers. You say, you see it.
