“Draymond Green names a $21,000 night in the club as his worst financial decision till date!”: When Warriors’ star shared how he regrets blowing all that money in one night

Warriors’ Draymond Green talked to Maverick Carter about the worst financial decision he’s made to date on Kneading Dough

When one gets into the NBA, they’re usually anywhere between the ages of 19 to 24. The minimum amount of money any player makes in the NBA is $925,000. From earning nothing, to suddenly getting just under a million dollars per year can be quite overwhelming.

A lot of young players tend to blow through that money in no time, and are left with nothing. This is something we’ve seen happen to a lot of players who’ve been a part of the NBA. However, Draymond Green knew he couldn’t afford to do so. Coming from humble beginnings, Draymond was given an $850,000 contract for his first year.

When asked about his worst financial decision till date, Green shared how he blew $21,000 in the club one night.

“That’s $21,000 that I can never get back. People say: ‘That isn’t nothing to you.’ $20,000 is still $20,000. I don’t care how much money you have, it’s still $20,000.”
