Draymond Green and Hazel Renee

Draymond Green has had a very successful career with the Golden State Warriors. After winning his fourth NBA title last season, he tied the knot with actress Hazel Renee.

Renee is best known for her work as a television actress. Her most notable role was appearing in two episodes of the FOX television series, 'Empire', back in 2017.

Furthermore, she has also made an appearance on the Showtime series 'The Chi' along with reality television shows 'Basketball Wives' and 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'. In addition to acting, Renee makes R&B music as well.

While the pair initially met in theater class at Michigan State University, they began dating in 2018 and got engaged the following year. They had their first child together in 2020. However, both of them have a child from a previous relationship.

Does Draymond Green deserve to make the NBA Hall of Fame?

Draymond Green has been a key figure in four championships for the Golden State Warriors. While Steph Curry gets most of the credit, Green's importance to the Warriors is understated.

He may be the best all-round defender of his generation and has shown an ability to defend both the paint and the perimeter at a high level. He has made seven All-NBA Teams, of which two were largely due to his defensive efforts, while also winning the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year award.

Green's Hall of Fame case is similar to that of former LA Lakers star Michael Cooper. Cooper won five titles with the team while making eight All-Defensive Teams and winning the 1986-87 Defensive Player of the Year award and yet was never inducted.

Green has made multiple All-Star and All-NBA Teams. Furthermore, his collegiate and national career, where he was named a consensus All-American and won two gold medals, respectively, will be considered as well.

Green will likely have to wait to be inducted. However, it is just as likely that he will be inducted on the first ballot due to his popularity and impact on the game. Either way, Draymond Green appears on a Hall of Fame trajectory. Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic recently shared his thoughts on the matter.
