Draymond Green ‘Wholeheartedly’ Believes He’s The Best Defender in NBA History

 

 

Marijuana being legal in California is clearly taking effects.

Draymond Green considers himself the greatest defensive player in NBA history.

“The best defender ever? Me,” Green told Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic after the Dubs’ 114-111 Game 2 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday to take a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals.

“That’s what I believe,” he added. “Wholeheartedly.”

The Golden State Warriors forward was a second round pick in 2012, partly due to because he didn’t really have a defined position, most commonly known as a “tweener.”

Seven years later and he’s one of the best defensive players in the entire NBA. Warriors teammate Andre Iguodala explained how his ability has made Green to defense what Carmelo Anthony was to offense in his prime.

“When people ask me who is one of the toughest players to defend, and I say Melo, they’re always like, ‘Really?’” Iguodala said. “Maaaan, Melo—he was a fast fat dude with hops. And can shoot. When he hit you with that first step, it was so quick, and then he’s strong. People need to stop disrespecting Melo. And Draymond is the Melo of defense.”
