Is JaMychal Green related to Draymond Green? Exploring the relationship between the two players

Amid the Golden State Warriors' ongoing second-round showdown with the LA Lakers, fans are wondering, Is JaMychal Green related to Draymond Green?

Given that both men play for the Golden State Warriors, there have been questions regarding whether or not they're another brotherly NBA duo like the Morris brothers.

Despite sharing a common surname, the pair are not related in any way. However, the two have actually known each other and competed against one another since their teenage days.

Now, the two teammates seem to have a pretty good relationship, with Draymond praising JaMychal for being "a dog". In the absence of Kevon Looney in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, JaMychal proved him right with 15 points in just 12 minutes.

Although JaMychal Green and Draymond Green have been competing against each other since their teenage years, the pair now seem to enjoy competing on the same team. Early on in the season, JaMychal admitted that the dynamic duo of he and Draymond Green are a problem for any potential opponents.

As the ‘new guy’ on the team early in this season, he knew that he and Draymond would make trouble for opponents.

“I feel like I fit in great. They play hard, they get after teams, didn’t realize how great of a defensive team this was. Just a hard nosed team, they play the right way. ... It’s going to be fun [to play with Draymond] we going to get under a lot of people’s skin, it’s going to be a lot of trash talking, it’s going to be some bumping. I mean this is what I live for.”

As the Golden State Warriors look to go back-to-back in the NBA Finals, JaMychal Green seems poised to continue to play a key role for the defending champs. With Kevon Looney eeling unwell, knowing that they can lean on the veteran to start in key games as needed will give Steve Kerr plenty of options going forward.

After a big Game 2 win, the two sides will be back in action on Saturday where the Lakers will look to pick up a win on their home court. Below you can see JaMychal Green’s comments to media members from early on in this season.
