Patrick Mahomes’ baby shower was always expected to be filled with laughter, but no one could have predicted just how crazy things would get—until Draymond Green walked onto the set of The Draymond Green Show on Apple Podcasts with a gift that immediately became the center of attention. Another big social media explosion

In the world of sports and social media, rumors spread like wildfire, and this week, Draymond Green found himself at the center of one. The Golden State Warriors star became the unexpected subject of a viral story after speculation emerged that he had crashed Patrick Mahomes’ baby shower with an outrageous gift that allegedly stole the spotlight. The story gained traction on social media, with fans and media outlets alike buzzing over the supposed incident.

But on the latest episode of The Draymond Green Show on Apple Podcasts, the NBA champion set the record straight, addressing the bizarre rumor head-on.

“First of all, let me just say this: I have never been to Patrick Mahomes’ baby shower,” Green began, laughing as he spoke. “I don’t know where this story came from, but it’s completely false. I wasn’t there, I didn’t bring a gift, and I definitely didn’t do anything to ‘steal the spotlight.’”

The rumor reportedly started after a social media post claimed that Green had shown up uninvited to Mahomes’ baby shower with a life-sized golden statue of himself as a gift. The post, which included a photoshopped image of Green holding the supposed statue, quickly went viral, leading many to believe the story was true.

Green, however, dismissed the entire situation as a fabrication. “It’s funny how people can create these wild stories out of thin air,” he said. “I mean, a golden statue of myself? Come on, man. Even I’m not that extra.”

The basketball star went on to explain that while he respects Patrick Mahomes as an athlete and admires his accomplishments, he has no personal connection to the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. “I’ve met Patrick a couple of times at events, and he’s a great guy,” Green said. “But I’m not close enough to him to be invited to something as personal as a baby shower. Let’s be real.”

Despite the absurdity of the rumor, Green admitted that he found the situation amusing. “I’ll give it to whoever made this up—they’ve got a wild imagination,” he joked. “But let me be clear: I’m not out here crashing baby showers with ridiculous gifts.”

The incident also sparked a broader conversation on Green’s podcast about the power of social media and how quickly misinformation can spread. “This is a perfect example of how people will believe anything they see online,” he said. “One fake post can turn into a whole narrative, and before you know it, people are asking me if it’s true.”

Green also used the opportunity to remind his listeners to fact-check before jumping to conclusions. “Don’t believe everything you see on the internet,” he said. “And if something sounds too crazy to be true, it probably is.”

As for Patrick Mahomes, neither he nor his wife, Brittany, have commented on the rumor. The couple recently welcomed their second child, and it seems they’ve been focused on enjoying their time as a family rather than addressing internet gossip.

In the end, Draymond Green’s clarification put the wild story to rest, but not before it provided plenty of laughs and head-scratching moments for fans. “At least we got a good laugh out of it,” Green concluded. “But let’s leave the baby showers to the people who are actually invited.”

The episode of The Draymond Green Show quickly became one of the most talked-about in recent weeks, with fans praising Green for his humor and honesty in addressing the situation. If nothing else, the bizarre rumor proved once again that in the age of social media, anything can become a headline—even a completely fabricated story about a golden statue at a baby shower.
