In case you haven’t been paying attention, Draymond Green is a fairly confident individual. He’s not likely to back down from anyone and will always say what he feels. Like most players of note in the league, Green is on record as saying he thinks he the game’s best player. That alone isn’t attention-grabbing. But he thinks he’s also the best defensive player.
For the past two seasons, Draymond Green has finished as runner up for the Defensive Player of the Year award. He can defend multiple positions and never quits on plays. Being so close to winning the award has apparently gotten Green even more hungry.
“I think I’ve been incredible defensively this year. It’s one of the things that I really locked in on; I focused in on. I’m so locked in on that end of the basketball (court) right now. It’s fun. And I think part of the reason I’m so locked in on it is because of everybody talking about what we can’t do on that end and how we’ll struglee on that end — just all the doubt on that end from everyone — it just has me at another place mentally.”
