“I’m going to throw in guys for guys who want to do podcasts while they play. They’re all horrible. They talk too much for me. They’re not good at basketball, so they focus on hoops,” he was seen telling the streamer, in a video posted by ClutchPoints on X.
Brooks has criticized active NBA players who host podcasts during the season, arguing that the added visibility and commentary detracts from focus and performance on the court. He also suggested that they end up doing podcasts just because they’re terrible without naming the players.
Naturally, the livestreamer was talking about Green, and Brooks was quick to shrug off the Golden State Warriors legend. A number of active NBA stars have recently started doing podcasts, including Green, PG13 and LeBron James, who is another player Brooks has previously fired against.
While many players have embraced podcasting as a way to shape narratives and provide insight into the league, Brooks wonders if that transparency becomes counterproductive when matched by uneven results on the field.
The timing of Brooks’ remarks is notable given his strong play in Phoenix, where he took on a bigger role and drew attention for both his defensive intensity and efficiency. Brooks has been one of the most consistent players for his team this campaign, averaging 21.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, which combined with his defensive versatility and acumen make him a legitimate superstar for his team.
