Draymond Green Knocks Paul George’s Hiatus, Drops ‘Podcast P’ From His Top NBA Player Podcasts

His on-air ranking of player-run shows served as a pointed message about consistency in the athlete-podcast boom.

Overview

  • On The Draymond Green Show, Green said Paul George “can’t gracefully bow out” and argued “you can’t quit” after George paused Podcast P during injury recovery.
  • Green named Club 520, All the Smoke, and Mind the Game as his top current player-hosted podcasts and placed his own show above them following a new Audacy deal.
  • George has not resumed Podcast P since suffering a knee injury late last season, saying he paused to get his mind and body right as he rehabs for the 76ers.
  • Coverage noted Green previously halted his podcast after the 2022 Jordan Poole incident and during a later suspension for striking Jusuf Nurkic, drawing criticism of inconsistency.
  • Attention on the rankings was heightened by the Mind the Game episode featuring Stephen Curry with LeBron James and Steve Nash, a show Green praised on air.
