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.
BOSTON — A code of conduct message was briefly displayed on the Jumbotron a few times per game at TD Garden during the NBA Finals.

Draymond Green warned everyone. He said, “Don't let us win.” Well, Green just won his fourth championship. And if you expected anything less than him ...
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.
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.
Draymond Green celebrates with his daughter Kyla Green after defeating the Boston Celtics 103-90 in Game Six of the 2022 NBA Finals at TD Garden on June 16, ...
Green’s antics continued offline as well, as he was seen sporting a personally edited version of the Celtics’ rally shirts with the idiotic slogan “It’s all about 18.” The original shirt features a blank rectangle to symbolize where Boston’s 18th championship banner would go. Despite evidence showing otherwise, Green reinforced the idea that he is part of a new breed of media. Green, petty as ever, simply tweeted out “The Energy Shifted 4X” at 8:59 a.m.
With last night's title-clinching NBA Finals victory, Draymond Green got the last laugh in his beef with ESPN NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins.
Green responded by calling the ESPN analyst an "ogre." You gotta stand on that." "Stand on your word, brother.
Warriors star Draymond Green came out with a legendary statement to diss the rest of the league after winning the title.
For the rest of the league, though, the bitter reality is that Draymond Green is going to be running his mouth for the next 365 days, and perhaps beyond. To a certain extent, Green is actually spot on with his ruthless statement here. The Golden State Warriors dynasty era is not over.
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.
The Golden State Warriors went into petty mode after winning the championship and Draymond Green trolls the Boston Celtics yet again...
Keep an eye on the Warriors as the franchise may have a busy offseason ahead. Boston is one of the most winningest franchises in sports history. The Golden State Warriors clinched their fourth championship in an eight-year span on Thursday night.
Draymond Green is getting the last laugh after being ridiculed by Celtics fans throughout the NBA Finals.
None of that will sit well with C's fans, but it should come as no surprise that Green is taking a victory lap. Green took heat from C's fans throughout the series following his controversial Game 2 antics. The four-time All-Star wore a shirt that was handed out to Celtics fans at TD Garden for Game 4 of the Finals. The shirt reads, "It's all about 18" above Boston's 17 championship banners and a blank space reserved for Banner 18.
The Boston Celtics' fan base gave Draymond Green a hard time throughout the 2022 NBA Finals. With that said, it's only fitting Green returns the favor.
The shirt that Green was wearing had a message written on it for that 18th banner. But we did what we do, welcome back to the Warriors Invitational baby! It included a blank banner for what could've been the Celtics' 18th championship.
What do you discuss on a six-hour flight from Oakland to Boston? In this case, not much basketball.
I didn’t question (Kerr). I was upset, (because) as a competitor you want to be in the game. You have to (get through moments like that). But like I said, ultimately in those moments, the most important thing is that you trust each other. … I knew that that was something we were going to talk about (when it happened). But I wasn’t going to judge until I had a chance to talk to him. We knew how frustrated he was and were just trying to keep his head in the game. And not only was he on the bench during that stretch in which the Warriors pulled ahead during an 11-4 run, but it was quite obvious Green wasn’t happy about Kerr’s choice. And so we were talking a lot about how to move through that, and how hard it is, and how much effort it takes, and how little people on the outside know of that, you know? As he shared that night on his “The Draymond Green Show” podcast, it was Payton, Juan Toscano-Anderson and Chris Chiozza who helped him keep his cool in the most heated of moments. But a lot of the things he said (on the podcast) he had already said to me anyway. So you really have to work hard to hold on to the strands of relationships and your team. And in the case of these finals, that meant Myers and Green talking for six hours on a cross-country flight on Tuesday from Oakland, Calif., to Boston that they’ll never forget. As Green shared in his Wednesday media session, he sat at a table on the plane with Curry and Thompson. When Myers walked by, he marveled at the fact that these grown men still wanted to spend time together talking after all these years. Somehow, someway, through the LeBron James crotch-swat that caused his Game 5 suspension in the 2016 finals to the Durant recruitment that spawned a dominant era and this renaissance that followed two years of struggle, Green and the Warriors keep finding a way to make basketball magic together.
Draymond Green wore an epic shirt after he and the Golden State Warriors beat Boston to win an NBA Championship, and it's a perfect troll job.
Boston thought they were ready to win another championship, but the Warriors proved otherwise. Green looks quite pleased with himself, and he should. Green has no chill, and I fully expect this to be a shirt that fans can buy.
Over the last eight seasons, they have been the gatekeepers for the Larry O'Brien Trophy. No team has proven they can beat the Warriors in the postseason ...
"To get the job done, it's an emotional rollercoaster and obviously all the work that goes into it, the whole team is excited," Curry said. When they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals, Green was suspended for Game 5. In 2019, Thompson and Kevin Durant suffered major lower leg injuries, derailing the Warriors' quest for a three-peat. "Everybody's exhausted though, so we're ready to get some rest and get ready for the parade on Monday." Like Draymond said, it's the 'Warriors Invitational.' We back. Shortly after Golden State's 103-90 win, Green referred to the playoffs as the "Warriors Invitational."
The now four-time NBA champion Draymond Green remembered this fact during the postgame press conference, saying 'why not us?'
Who better than us?” Who better than us? For me, I said what better time than to put it together tonight.
