The Golden State Warriors have returned to glory with their three key players: sharpshooter Stephen Curry, defensive specialist Draymond Green, and versatile forward Jimmy Butler. While statistics and highlight reels often capture their on-court brilliance, the behind-the-scenes moments truly reveal what fuels these champions.
On March 4, Green marked his 35th birthday with eight points, eight assists, and nine rebounds while the Warriors defeated the New York Knicks by 114-102. But little did he know that his wife Hazel Renee had orchestrated a celebration that would outshine even the glow of victory.

The celebration featured a personalized cake designed to resemble Green’s Warriors jersey, complete with his iconic number 23. Green makes his birthday wish with a clear goal in mind in a heartwarming video circulating across social media.
“Y’all know what my wish is,” Green declared confidently as someone in the background shouted, “No. 5.” With Curry recording the moment on his phone, Green responded, “That’s five candles,” before blowing them out to enthusiastic cheers from friends and family. The five candles symbolized his desire to secure a fifth NBA championship ring with the Warriors.
If we look at Green’s and Renne’s love story, it dates back to their university days. They both attended theater classes and were into sports at Michigan State University. The couple got engaged in 2019 and later tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2022. They have a blended family, raising two children while balancing their busy professional lives.
Hazel Renee has remained his biggest cheerleader through all the ups and downs. Thanks to her constant support, Green has bounced back, averaging 9.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game despite battling injuries.
As the season reaches its climax, Green’s passion for winning remains stronger than ever. With his eyes set on a fifth ring, his teammates, family, and fans are all rallying behind him, hoping this year’s birthday wish turns into a reality. However, did you know that isn’t the only time Renee had motivated the No. 23 Warrior?
