Draymond Green reacts to Blackpink’s name change

We’re not sure how you like this, but Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green never turned his brain off when he hears someone talking about him.
Only this time he is not an opponent. They are probably even bigger than any star in the NBA.
K-pop group Blackpink recently released a new EP titled “Deadline.” On the track “Me and Mi” they mentioned Green in one of the lines: “Golden like us Draymond, they pay us to get in.”
Well, Green definitely liked that. I can’t kill love.
“When you get called out in a rap song, it’s pretty fun. When you get called out in a K-pop song, you might be a pretty big deal,” the 31-year-old forward said, as quoted by the Bay Area News Group.

In case you’re still stuck in the emo phase, Blackpink has grown into one of the biggest music groups in the world. The K-pop sensation has sold 8.5 million albums. We’re not very good at math, but that’s a lot.
Green, who is as much K-pop as Olivia Rodrigo is death metal, can forget about his four championships, his two All-NBA team honors, his four All-Star selections and his Defensive Player of the Year trophy. Getting compliments from Blackpink is the ultimate achievement.
Not even Warriors guard Stephen Curry or Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James can make the same claim.
Another Blackpink song, “Love to Hate Me,” is also perfect for Green. He is considered to be a polarizing player due to his brash personality. Typical hate-as-opponent-but-love-as-teammate. Green, however, made no apologies for being himselfeven if it cost him and the Warriors.
Even before Green’s name was checked, Blackpink had already moved on to the NBA. Last year they collaborated with several brands for officially licensed limited edition merchandise.
