Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has never voiced an opinion he doesn't like. Green is certainly one of the most outspoken players in the NBA, sometimes to a fault, and he's unapologetic about it.
But that's not just hot air. Many people consider him a smart person. Green has a clear view on things, although at times controversial. At the very least, he gets people talking, which is always good for the NBA.
Sports commentator Skip Bayless asked Green if he wanted to become NBA commissioner someday, saying that the veteran forward has "the right brain" and that he could "help this league in a leadership position." Green gave a clear answer.
"I would love to. I've always wanted to see this league grow. During my time in this league, I've faced a lot of adversity, but I'm hopeful and I think I've done more good than bad," the four-time All-Star said on his podcast.

As he mentioned, the 35-year-old Green has faced trouble in the league due to his volatile personality. He has been suspended six times by the NBA and has paid over $1 million in fines.
Because of these, it is difficult to envision him becoming the first player to become an NBA commissioner, even if he understood the nuances of the league and the mentality of the players.
Meanwhile, NBA commissioner Adam Silver was recently called out by sports commentators Bill Simmons and Michael Kay for leadership issues. Simmons said he was unsure whether Silver was the right person to run the NBA, while Kay said Silver should take a tough approach.
