Draymond Green believes he's a Hall of Fame player: Scoring 30 points isn't a problem, unleashing his full potential could challenge the Top 75 list.

On March 18, Warriors player Draymond Green discussed his scoring ability on his personal podcast. He stated that scoring 30 points in a game is no issue for him, but being a scorer has never been his role. Additionally, he expressed confidence that he is a Hall of Fame caliber player. Here is the relevant content—

People often come to me and say, "My kid plays exactly like you." When they say this, they probably think: I'm complimenting my child's skill. At least they believe they mean that. But I immediately understand what they're actually trying to convey.

What they really mean is: My kid plays hard, my kid is willing to do the dirty work, my kid has high basketball IQ, defends well, passes well, sets screens. That's their true meaning. Every time I hear this, I have a thought, and I voice that thought.

The reason is:I didn't make it to the NBA based on the traits I have now.Don't misunderstand, I've always been a winning player. I've won at every level, always doing things that help the team win. But back then, scoring 30 points effortlessly was never a problem. Walk into the gym, just count 30 points for me, I could get them if I wanted.

Therefore,If your kid can't score at all, honestly, it's very difficult for him to progress from elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and finally reach the NBA—going through all stages without scoring ability doesn't work.Because you never get enough attention. The strengths parents talk about are actually just what role players do.

AndIn the NBA, the reality is: most people must embrace a role.About 95% of players eventually need to find and settle into their role.

Can you recognize your role and execute it to the extreme? My role has never been a scorer. I wish it were, because that was my original style. But reality isn't, so I had to find another path.

But you must understand clearly:During my high school and college years, I was just like the scorers you admire now.So if your child is only in middle school and already only does these dirty tasks, I honestly don't think he can make it. That's exactly what I meant when I expressed this.

Many people come to me saying: "Bro, you're crazy, you're not bad." No, I know I'm great. I'm not saying I'm incapable. Without a doubt, I am very, very strong.

ButI had to completely transform myself, excel in the things I'm good at now, to become who I am today.Otherwise, I would be like most people, unable to reach this level. I admire myself for this: If someone told you your greatest strengths are no longer usable, and you must now rebuild and become strong again, could you do it? You couldn't. So every time you discuss this, I laugh. My self-awareness also stems from this. Because to achieve greatness, I had to do things I wasn't originally skilled at, and still became a great player. That's crazy, right? That's my genuine thought.

Don't get it wrong, I lack no confidence whatsoever.I'm not being modest; I believe I am a Hall of Fame caliber player.I acknowledge all of this. But even so, as a competitor, as a player, deep inside I still have a peculiar feeling.

I told my brother Walton, we often talk about basketball. During a casual chat months ago, I said to him: "But I still somewhat care about my career."

He said: "What do you care about? You're so strong."

I said: "Because I always feel like I never truly displayed my complete playing style."

If I could unleash all my capabilities, my fullest style of play, what heights could I reach? So, of course, I am proud and happy about my achievements.

But many times,I still can't help thinking: If I completely unleashed myself, presented my full self, maybe I could challenge the historical Top 75 list?I know I was just a little short at that time.
