The Real Reason Draymond Green Took Off LeBron James’ Shoes

Draymond Green is all about destroying LeBron James, and he has shown that in every single occasion they share the same basketball court.

King James and Draymond Green are business partners off the basketball floor, but he sure wants to destroy LeBron during the games.

Both LeBron and Draymond are Nike clients, but the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year is not wearing LeBron’s shoes. What did the four-time MVP do wrong for this to happen?

“Early on in my career I used to wear LeBrons, and I was like, ‘So? They’re comfortable.’ And then as I started to grow and I’m into my second and third year and I’m like, ‘I’m battling with this dude. I can’t wear these shoes anymore when I’m going up against him,'” Draymond told Ric Bucher of Bleacher Report.

Well, that’s why Draymond does not let Kevon Looney to sport James Harden’s signature shoes when the Golden State Warriors play the Houston Rockets.

“When we’re playing against Houston, Loon is switching on James a lot. If you’re out there playing against him in his shoe, he’s got you dominated already,” the three-time All-Star told Bleacher Report.

Draymond listens to the businessman inside him

“If you’re always in another guy’s signature shoe, how will a shoe company ever look for you to possibly get your own? That’s the real reason I stopped. I would’ve continued to wear LeBrons and just not worn them against him. But if I’m in another guy’s shoe, they’ll never look at me that way,” he said.

Draymond has not designed his signature shoe yet, but Thompson does through Anta. He did not like to see Rajon Rondo’s signature shoe on Jacob Evans.

“Klay definitely was on me to join the Anta family. He was just telling me about the company, and the gear, how the shoe felt, the perks in his deal and his trips to China,” Evans said.

“Once I started wearing his shoe in practice, he’d ask me all the time how they felt, if I liked them. He was just making sure I was happy. He made sure they were sending me enough gear and that if I needed more gear just to let him know and they’ll get it done.”
