Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have been teammates for a decade. They have nine NBA All-Star selections between them, and both have been crucial pieces of the Golden State Warriors' championship core.

Last November, Green made his unexpected debut on Thompson's boat. During a recent appearance on the "7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony and The Kid Mero" podcast, Green detailed his first visit to it. Green noted that the vessel was a key part of a rescue mission. 

Green was trapped on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay in mid-November when demonstrators forced the closure of the Bay Bridge, which frequently carries some of the heaviest amounts of vehicle traffic in the region.
