You might know a thing or two about Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors. Perhaps you know that he has been labeled "the main voice of the team" (Stephen Curry's words) and "the team's heartbeat" (Steve Kerr's words) or that he wasn't chosen until the 35th pick in the 2012 draft.

But what you probably don't know is how he spends his free time: watching WNBA games. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Green expressed his respect and appreciation for the women's game saying:

"In the NBA there's always a guy who is only around because he can jump. He doesn't have a clue about the fundamentals. I learn more from the WNBA. They know how to dribble, how to pivot, how to use the shot fake."

This coming from a guy who finished second in defensive player of the year voting and finished seventh in MVP voting just a few short years after averaging only 13.4 minutes per game.

He just might be on to something.
