Draymond Green was born in Saginaw, Michigan when Mary Babers and Wallace
Davies welcomed a bouncing baby boy on March 4, 1990. After a couple of years,
his parents divorced, and his mom later got married to his stepfather Raymond Green.
You might have been wondering how come he got a different last name from his birth parent?
It is because, at the tender age of 12, he adopted his step-father’s last name.
Draymond is a devoted Christian, and he has two brothers (Torian and Braylon)
and three sisters (Latoya, Jordan and Gabby).
Career
Draymond went to Saginaw High School where he averaged 20 points,
13 rebounds and 2 blocks his senior year. He also led the squad to a state championship.
After being a 4-star recruit, he chose to go to Michigan State over Kentucky and Michigan.
Green played all four years for the MSU and became a Spartan all-time
legend. He became only the third player in school history to tally 1000 points and 1000 rebounds.
He also became the third player ever to have two triple-doubles in the NCAA tournament.
Joining the ranks of Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson. Talk about keeping good company.
In the 2012 NBA Draft, he was chosen by the Golden State Warriors as the 35th overall pick.
That’s low compared to most stars. But that was
the chip on Green’s shoulder that he needed to push himself to greatness.
The Warriors have benefited greatly from believing in Draymond. After almost a decade in the NBA,
Draymond Green is already an all-time Warrior great and a probable Hall of Famer.
He is a 4-time All-Star, 4-time NBA All-Defensive first team,
3-time NBA champion, and 1-time NBA Defensive Player of the year with hopefully more to come.
He also plays for the United States national
basketball team where he has won two Olympic gold medals.
Known as a great all-around player,
Green’s emotional play usually has him in the top tier of technical fouls.
Now we know a little about Draymond’s b-ball career,
let’s get into how he makes and spends his millions.
Contract
After the 2012 draft, Green signed a 3-year rookie contract with the Warriors for $2.6 million.
In 2015, he was offered a qualifying offer of 2.75 million.
Golden State saw him as a vital member of their team and rescinded their offer to give him
a 5-year contract extension worth $82 million which he gladly accepted.
In 2019 he signed a 4-year contract extension worth a whopping $99 million.
That is an average salary of about $25 million per year.
He becomes a free agent after 2024. Let’s see how that plays out for him and the Warriors.
Endorsements
Green had been signed with Nike but switched to Converse, which Nike owns.
His multi-year deal is huge because he is the biggest named player since Dwayne Wade who left
over a decade ago. Converse wants to get back into to basketball after a good run in the Eighties.
Draymond is set to be the face of the brand for years to come.
His signature shoe is the G4 “Hyper Swarm” that sports a bright Yellow and black colorway.
What do you think of these? Too much?
He signed a franchise development deal with Blink Fitness to launch
at least 20 Blink gyms in Michigan and Illinois.
He also signed endorsement deals with brands like New Era, Footlocker, Gatorade and more.
It is estimated that Draymond makes about $4 million per year off endorsements.
Green is making that money baby! Let’s see how he spends it.

Colonial mansion with a light-filled entry way and gorgeous Spanish marble flooring built in 2019.
The mansion has a State-of-the-Art home theatre,
an elegantly appointed living room, a world class marble bar, fireplace and wine cellar.
A warm guesthouse is next to a modern pool where friends and family can come kick it in style.

There’s his platinum Day-Date President with the signature ice blue dial that can go for around
$95,000. Along with a yellow gold Day-Date President that can go for around $50,000.
Steph Curry also gifted him and his warrior teammates yellow-gold
Submariner Dates with black dials which retail for around $38,000.
With all these watches, Draymond should never be late on time.
Charity After re-signing with Golden State in 2015,
Green pledged $3.1 million to Michigan State University, to renovate athletic facilities
and fund an endowment program for scholarships making it the largest pledge from an athlete
in his school's history and the second largest ever made by an athlete to his former school.
He participated in various humanitarian campaigns such as the “LeanInTogether campaign”, “Not On Our
Ground campaign” and also became the spokesperson for the Bay Area BMW's "Go Green" platform.
His heart of gold was on display as he worked on the "Season of Giving"
event. As he took 30 kids from a homeless shelter on a surprise shopping spree.
TNT Analyst
Green has always been a guy that is never afraid to speak his mind.
He became the first ever active player-analyst to sign a multi-year deal with Turner sports.
He is set to make appearances on the show "Inside The NBA"
alongside Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, and Shaquille O'Neal.
His contract allows him to participate in special projects,
content initiatives, and other programing. This should be entertaining for sure.
