Draymond Green

With this Warriors championship, there is an appreciation for getting back to the NBA Finals and winning that is greater than previous experiences.

In 100 years, you're going to be talking about some of the best players and teams and foundations, and those three guys, they did a template of how do you build championship pedigree." And playing just that Warriors brand of basketball that made us so successful, and then knowing I was going to be inserted in that, I knew we had a chance to do something special, and here we are. And rely on each other and depend on each other," Green said. "I saw it in the beginning of season. There is an appreciation of getting back to the Finals and winning that is greater than previous experiences. "So we hear all that, and you carry it all and you try to maintain your purpose, not let it distract you, but you carry that weight and to get here, it all comes out. "I just know how hard this is, and to be here for a fourth time, like so grateful for my teammates," Thompson said. Three years ago, the Warriors were a franchise in flux, mainly because of an injury to Thompson and Kevin Durant’s departure to Brooklyn in free agency. I said championship or bust, because I saw how we came out of the gate, 18-2. The Warriors finished 15-50 in 2019-20 and then Thompson sustained another injury that forced him to miss the 2020-21 season. Manifest your destiny in a certain way, and that stubbornness — of who we are matters more than what anybody is saying about us — is why we're here." "Clearly remember some experts and talking heads putting up the big zero of how many championships we would have going forward because of everything that we went through," Curry said.

It was only a week ago or so that I wondered… Last night provided an answer about why you'd bother. Watch. Are the NBA Finals rigged?

You put up with all of the bullshit that’s in Draymond’s game, and there is a fair amount, because you get this when it counts the most. It was something to behold, the way that Green simply became the engine that Curry could use to drive around the track. It feels like Green can so easily be knocked off his game, maybe because he rarely scores that much so when he’s collecting fouls there isn’t much to the casual eye to cancel that out.

The series may be over, but Draymond Green is continuing to antagonize the Celtics. Read more on Boston.com.

He pieced together a vintage performance Thursday, racking up 12 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals, and even hitting a couple 3-pointers after starting the series 0-for-11. Finally, the Warriors lightheartedly chanted “F*** you, Draymond” in the locker room after the victory and Kevon Looney joked that Green has been yelling at the Warriors all year himself. Green struggled for much of the series, and was even benched late in Game 4, but he responded convincingly in Game 5 and Game 6.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green explained why he wore an all-black outfit to the NBA Finals closeout game against the Celtics.

Former Washington star John Wall ripped Boston for the choice, and teams have been reluctant to make that aesthetic decision again (or, at least, admit to it). Green, of course, was talking about a funeral for Boston’s season and failed championship run. You get to thank your family for their support.

Green and the Warriors beat the Celtics in Game 6 to claim their fourth title in eight years.

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo and his son, Steven, along with former Spartans Mat Ishbia, Mateen Cleaves, Steve Smith, Morris Peterson, Kelvin Torbert, Antonio Smith and others were at TD Garden to see the series clinching game. Although Green left Michigan State a decade ago as the National Player of the Year in 2012, he has remained close with Izzo and the program. Green became the 10th player in Michigan State history to have their jersey retired when his No. 23 was raised to the rafters at Breslin Center in 2019.

Draymond Green initially shrugged off the vulgar chants directed at him from Celtics fans at TD Garden during the NBA Finals. But the chants actually did ...

Inside the visitors locker room during their championship celebration, Green’s teammates were heard chanting, “F-you, Draymond!” “I don’t think I heard ‘F-you, Draymond’ all night. “For me, I said what better time to put it together than tonight,” Green said.

The Celtics never got closer than an eight-point deficit in the second half and trailed by single digits for barely over a minute of game time. Four times, who better than us?” Who better than us?

Draymond Green unleashed a short but savage tweet to burn the Celtics following the Warriors' NBA Finals win.

Draymond Green was quite effective as the Warriors prevailed over the Celtics in Game 6. Green effectively buried any championship hopes that the Boston Celtics had. Thursday, Draymond Green showed up in all black for Game 6.

He's loved and he's hated, sometimes even among those who root for him. He feels ...

And in the end, a meandering journey that once again ended up in the winners' circle. But it would have required beating them between the ears and between beating hearts. That infrastructure is Green's purview and he oversees it magnificently. And he just reached his final form. Just when you think you figure out what makes him tick, who he is in the larger basketball conversation, who he is as a force of personality, the script changes. His greatness is subtle and prone to disappear a bit.

When Draymond Green silenced Boston Celtics fans Thursday, his former high school teammates and coaches were not surprised. Green, the former Saginaw High ...

"He is arguably the smartest guy to set foot on a basketball court. To say that it compares to that, it's disrespectful to LeBron and it's a lie to you." "It doesn't compare," Green said.

The Boston Celtics were chasing history in the NBA Finals, as a win would've put them in sole possession of most titles in NBA history.

The ultimate troll move, Green was seen wearing that very shirt Friday, and he used a black marker to fill in the blank banner with “Warriors” where “Boston Celtics” would’ve been. With the team up 2-1 in the series, that pursuit of history was put on front street prior to Game 4 when Boston gave fans in attendance shirts with the words “It’s all about 18” and a picture of 18 banners — the last of which was blank. They’re currently tied with the Los Angeles Lakers at 17 apiece.

Warriors star Draymond Green added insult to injury for the Celtics after beating them in the NBA Finals.

Given how ruthless C's fans were during the series, it's tough to blame him. His scuffle with Brown in Game 2 was partly why Celtics fans greeted him with boos and vulgar chants throughout the series. Green took to Twitter with a message that won't sit well with C's fans.

If anyone's going to jump at the chance for a perfect roast, it's Draymond Green after an NBA Finals win.

It’s clear that Green is taking no prisoners as he basks in the glory of his fourth NBA title. He added, “NOPE!! Maybe in 23” with two more arrows inside of the square. If they had won the series against the Warriors, No. 18 would have fit in the space nicely.

Draymond Green dunked on Dave Portnoy after the Golden State Warriors won the 2022 NBA Finals championship.

Then, Green took to Twitter to handle his beef with Portnoy. And, he fed off of the negativity from Boston Celtics fans, who heckled him and chanted “F— you Draymond” in Game 3. Green, who now has four rings to his name, had tons of motivation throughout the series, especially when he was struggling.

It's safe to say that Draymond Green is enjoying championship No. 4. On Thursday, the Warriors defeated the Celtics in Game 6 of the 2022 NBA Finals to ...

After the Celtics improved to 26-25 with a win over the Pelicans during the 2021-22 regular season, Brown tweeted, " The energy is about to shift." On Thursday, the Warriors defeated the Celtics in Game 6 of the 2022 NBA Finals to capture their fourth championship in eight seasons. Golden State's celebration is only getting started.
