Draymond Green and LeBron James are intense rivals on the basketball court. Four NBA Finals matchups, a play-in game, countless Christmas games, and one world-famous crotch slap have built up intense animosity between the lines. But off the court, they’re best buddies, with Draymond signing with LeBron’s Klutch Sports agency and guest-starring on his HBO show, The Shop. They even partied together at Draymond’s wedding this summer.
So it’s not a surprise that the two teamed up to buy an expansion franchise in Major League Pickleball, along with Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
