Draymond Green Eye-Opening Drops Stephen Curry Jordan Brand Note

Golden State Warriors a veteran Draymond Green reacted to Stephen Curry is parting ways with Under Armour with a surprising move by Jordan Brand. Green wonders how big Jordan Brand Curry’s hypothetical sneaker deal with Nike would have been had he stayed with the company. Steph was with Nike from 2009 until signing with Under Armor in 2013. He won his first championship in 2015, becoming a household name.

Green spent time talking about how things could have been different that Curry signed with Nike under the Jordan Brand imprint, he saidaccording to The Draymond Green Show.

“It makes you take a step back and wonder what his job would be today if he went to Nike or stayed at Nike, doesn’t it? It’s like Steph Curry stayed at Nike and became the Steph Curry he was going to be, regardless of the shoe brand he was in,” Green said. “And Curry was building a brand under Nike, alla Jordan, alla Lebron James, alla Kevin Durant, guys who built brands with Nike. What if Steph was building that brand at Nike?”

Green thinks Stephen Curry staying with Nike all these years would be monumental.

“You can only wonder how huge that would be. I mean, I’m going to go out on a limb and say if he was building at Nike, he might be as big as the Jordan brand, which is interesting,” Green added. “I mean, that’s saying a lot — no disrespect to MJ’s goat. MJ, you know, when it comes to the shoe business, he’s done it better than anyone ever has and probably better than anyone ever will. I really wonder if Steph is still with Nike. Would it be?”

Draymond Green benched for Warriors Jonathan Cumminga

Warriors forward Draymond Green addressed Jonathan Cummings on the bench midway through a six-game road trip that continued Wednesday night against the Spurs. Cummings’ inconsistent start to the 2025-26 season led to Steve Kerr benching him.

Green admits he misses not having Cummings in the starting lineup, but doesn’t think the move will change Cummings’ role with the Warriors.

“I think JK played really well, so to be out of the starting lineup is a bit of a bummer,” Green said. “But I think also people make starting and coming off the bench sometimes more than it really is. When you look at Jay-K, if you’re going to play similar minutes and have an increased role on offense, then you have to decide what puts me in a better position to succeed.”

The Warriors beat the Spurs by 25 points (125-120) on Wednesday, and will meet them again on Friday.
