Draymond Green has been quite vocal about various basketball-related matters, but his opinions have sometimes stirred up controversy among fans who don't necessarily agree with him. Recently, the accomplished four-time champion took to sharing his perspective on an interesting topic - whether the Golden State Warriors should retire Kevon Looney's jersey number.

The act of retiring a player's number serves as a remarkable way to honor exceptional athletes who've made significant contributions during their time with a team. Typically, this distinction is reserved for star players who have left an indelible mark.

Nevertheless, there are instances where players like Nick Collison have seen their jerseys retired by teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder, a gesture that celebrated Collison's remarkable commitment to a single franchise over his 13-year NBA journey.

On Instagram, Green shared a post that hints at the Warriors potentially retiring Looney's jersey number.
