Danny Green says the Grizzlies are absolutely obsessed with rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again

“From morning, to night, from shootaround to the game, it’s NBA YoungBoy.”

NBA veteran Danny Green has played in many different locker rooms during his professional career. Each one has its own unique character.

Green is a three-time NBA champion who was traded in exchange for De’Anthony Melton from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Memphis Grizzlies during the offseason. He says his new teammates have one thing in common: They are all obsessed with the same musician.

Green said that one of the first things he noticed about Memphis is that everyone on the roster listens to 23-year-old Louisiana rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again. He spoke about the obsession on his podcast with co-host Harrison Sanford.

Here is what Green had to say when discussing the musician:

“Coming here it made me realize why he’s number one…All they do is listen to Youngboy all day. From morning, to night, from shootaround to the game, it’s NBA YoungBoy.”

Grizzlies star Ja Morant has posted videos of himself blasting NBA YoungBoy. The guard has also come onto the court with the musician playing as well.

YoungBoy used the song “Rose Gold” to give a shout-out to Morant.

Earlier this year, Damichael Cole wrote about how YoungBoy’s music influences the Grizzlies. Here is what Jaren Jackson Jr. told Cole (via Commercial Appeal):

“That’s probably why we have won so many games, honestly. Everybody is on the same page, everybody knows the words. At this point, everybody listens to it. We all know the words. The whole team.”

Cole said that Jackson, Morant, and Brandon Clarke are typically the players who are in charge of the playlists for the team.

Several of the players I interviewed during the pre-draft process, including Onyeka Okongwu and Ayo Dosunmu, described YoungBoy as their favorite musician.

Last season, before a game, Phoenix’s Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton gave fans an impromptu YoungBoy singalong on the jumbotron.
