“I appreciate you, man,” Danny told Draymond. “I appreciate you having me. I’m glad there’s some type of love on that side of the coast, well, I guess in the Bay Area. I was asked earlier today — I was doing a radio hit — ‘Is there any organization that hates you?’ I couldn’t think of one until [it] was tweeted out that I was on your show. And I’m like, ‘Damn.’ There’s only one organization where the fans are like, ‘Nah.’ They ain’t messing with it.
