Even NBA players are interested in hearing from the Golden State Warriors.

While speaking to Insider to promote his cryptocurrency, $DBO, via Rally, Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson, who also hosts his podcast, "The Long Shot," said his dream podcast guests would be two Warriors players: Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala.

"I can't think of anyone better than Steph Curry," Robinson said of his dream podcast guest.

Robinson, who initially played Division III college basketball before transferring to Michigan, then going undrafted in the NBA draft, said he related to Curry's journey starting from Davidson.

Robinson also said Iguodala, a former teammate with the Heat, is a great conversationalist. He has had Iguodala on his podcast before, but he would love to have him back.

"Somebody that we definitely want to have back on is Andre Iguodala," Robinson said. "Just because he has such a unique basketball experience, but now so much of his day-to-day is actually outside of basketball and in everything he's doing in the tech space, the crypto space, the business space. So, he just has a wealth of experiences."

He added: "He's gotten to the point in his career where he's not really shy to say what's on his mind."

Robinson also said Draymond Green is a popular guest on NBA podcasts because, like Iguodala, he is not afraid to speak his mind and offer great "soundbites."

According to Rally's press release, fans who buy $DBO will have access to special podcast episodes, private in-person events, and more.

Robinson said that with the help of his podcast, he's realized fans like a community where they can have in-depth discussions rather than being fed a "narrative."

"What I kind of have learned through my podcast is that there are a bunch of people out there that want to have productive, insightful, thoughtful conversation," Robinson said.

He added: "For me, what I kind of learned, particularly with my podcast, was instead of taking a fan approach, more so taking a community approach. And that's really what I feel like I've built originally with my podcast, and then the opportunity with Rally to kind of take that to another level was something that I was really excited about."
