Green’s defense helped the Warriors win four NBA Championships from 2015-22.
Via StatMuse: “Only 5 players in NBA history have more All-Defensive selections than Draymond Green.
All of them are Hall of Famers.”
The Warriors were the seventh seed in the Western Conference after going 48-34 during the regular season.
They beat the Houston Rockets in the first round of the NBA playoffs (in seven games).
However, the Warriors were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round (in five games).
Via @StatMamba: “Draymond Green is the 5th player in NBA history to be 9x All-Defensive & have a DPOY.”
Green has spent all 13 seasons with the Warriors.
