OAKLAND – David Kelly stood in front of the Warriors’ rookies in 2012 and talked to them about some important things they needed to know about entering the league. It was the usual spiel from the team’s General Counsel and Vice President of Basketball legal affairs — save your money, plan ahead, use this opportunity wisely because it spans a very small window.
But Draymond Green was caught off guard. Kelly had briefly and casually mentioned that he used to be an underground rapper.
It’s not what you’d expect from an attorney, who is an expert in business issues and salary caps.
