Phil Hellmuth promotes Positivity Book and talks about NBA Star Draymond Green on Domenick Nati Show

Last week, Phil Hellmuth was on the Domenick Nati Show. Even though he was mainly discussing his newest book #Positivity: You Are Always In The Right Place At The Right Time, somewhere along the way a topic came about in which he said he's helping NBA player Draymond Green with his poker game.

Apparently, the three-time All Star and three-time NBA champion contributed a blurb for Phil Hellmuth's book, and Nati inquired about Hellmuth and his friendship with the Golden State Warriors Power Forward, "Draymond's my boy. He gave me a jacket blurb for that book. I love him, and if people knew who he really was they would love him."

He continued, "If you look at athletes throughout history, like John McEnroe, who just occasionally loses it... If you look at Draymond on the court and the way he gets tilted when a ref makes a bad call and walks around like a chicken with his head cut off a little bit. That's kinda like me in poker, which is why my autobiography was entitled Poker Brat. But I think Draymond is just a great guy. Also, I've been helping him with his poker game."

The 15-time WSOP bracelet winner is actually a huge fan of the Warriors, since he lives nearby Palo Alto. Other than that, he is good friends with Joseph Steven Lacob, the majority owner of the Golden State Warriors.

Here's the audio-video starring Phil Hellmuth on the Domenick Nati Show:

Currently at 54 years old, the legendary Hellmuth is also well known by the derogatory nickname "Poker Brat" as he is notorious for being quite a sore loser and he also has a knack for smack talking.

There are many videos you can find on Youtube showing Hellmuth's sore loser moments such as this one:

Even if Phil Hellmuth really depicts a poker brat personality at times at the table and is prone to volatile outbursts, still he is considered as one of the best poker players in the industry.
