That's a fine article, extensive quotes from his Mom. If you want a hoot follow her on twitter, during the games she gets a bit worked up.

I didn't really have time for a long article but I couldn't stop reading it. Lot's of great stories and anecdotes, but the funniest one is:

Green ended a back-and-forth with Doc Rivers by dismissing the Clippers coach with the line, “Cool story, Glenn.”

Steve Kerr said he hasn't heard anyone call Doc Rivers "Glenn", his given name in 30 years.

I have an unnatural hatred of Bill Simmons.

Draymond Green feature at Grantland 502811600 From the first paragraph:

As Green got older, he measured his accomplishments against what his aunt had achieved. When Green won his first Michigan high school championship, Babers told him she had done the same thing, only her team had been undefeated. When Green talked of playing at Michigan State, she reminded him that she had been an all-conference player there — while she was pregnant.

Okay, I'll shut up now.

Love the article except for this
But at times in his college career, Green had also appeared overmatched against other NBA prospects. Gordon Hayward forced Green into an air ball on a crucial possession in the final 30 seconds of MSU’s 2010 Final Four loss to Butler wrote:

Well it was an air ball, so that much was true.

Not into the whole officiating conspiracy thing that goes on after every game here, but that no call really hurt. Down 1 with 10 seconds left in the game. Blatant foul, must be called.
