It might be scarier to have him behind you

Defensively, there's no comparison. A player who once fell to the second round because teams didn't know what position he would guard became one of the best individual defenders in the league even as its shortest power forward. Golden State is six points better defensively per 100 possessions with him on the floor than on the bench, the difference between the No. 1 defense in the league and one in the middle of the pack. So far in the playoffs, he's taken on the superhuman ability of Anthony Davis, the veteran craftsmanship of Zach Randolph, and drawn assignments on both Dwight Howard and James Harden while holding his own the entire way.

In July, Green will hit free agency. He's made less than $1 million each season of his career so far and now he seems likely to sign a max contract. That might feel steep for a player who averaged 11.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game on 44 percent shooting, but a box score was never going to be big enough to capture all the things Green does. He's become the Warriors' beating heart in the same way Tony Allen defines the Grizzlies and Joakim Noah defines the Bulls.

How Draymond Green gave the NBA's best team its bite

Dray's mom loves her some Izzo.....

On NBA commentator Charles Barkley: "Barkley actually was like my favorite player until she started, you know, talking bad about my son."

On Steph Curry: "My mom (Annie Babers) is 5-2. She actually thought she was taller than Curry cause she sees him on TV."

Tom Izzo: "One man other than my father (Ben Babers) who I probably would give my life for, it would be Tom Izzo."

She may need to take a bullet for Tom when Garrick Sherman gets back to the States.

The NBA Finals are finally here, which means peaking Draymond Fever, and it has meant extensive archive searches for someone who covered Green's entire career at Michigan State. Sunday's look back at key moments in Green's MSU journey got some positive response, but that was sized for print and but a fraction of all the interesting tidbits I found. So if you're trying to pass some time before Game 1, have plenty of it on your hands and forget as much stuff from just a few years ago as I do, take a look at these stories (and other items):

so Barkley is now a transgendered flight attendant that needs to stay out of first class?

There are consequences when you upset Draymond's mom.

Serious question for you. Have you ever been wrong about anything sports related in your mind? Is there any way this series could end up that you wouldn't consider yourself right?

Also is this a form of trolling or do you really believe it?

(FWIW I did not read your opinions on the series before it started, it's just a pattern I've noticed with MSU basketball for example)

Not trying to be a dick, just asking a question for the sake of my curiosity.

Ha, still a lot of bball to be played. If Cleveland wins it you get bragging rights. I just think GS has been ice cold form the 3pt line, and they are living or dying by their 3pt %. The shots just aren't falling tonight.

I am impressed with Cleveland though, game 1 they were dominating the glass and winning allt he battles for the 50/50 loose balls.

Absolutely. Bulter in final four. This year's natty championship. I have no idea when the refs will take over a game and enforce victory for one team

Lebron is such a bitch

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2015-06-07, 23:08

He really is.

It's hard to blame him due to the basketball climate he grew up in. But even when he does something right (the letter, returning to Cleveland, etc), he eventually shows himself to be a pampered SOB.

by **steveschneider** 2015-06-07, 23:16

That block by Green was unreal, wish they had got the possession.

This is why your a tool. Blinded by hate to see the dude is giving all he has. Jordan couldn't ever do who he's done. Needed pipen and the refs

I realize the media is kind of feeding the King, but he could try to downplay it a little bit.

He definitely got fouled by Iggy on the last drive to the basket, and he did get fouled on that baseline shot (but, he walked before the foul anyway).
