The Golden State Warriors’ power forward, Draymond Green, is a polarizing player in the NBA. Green is one of the best defenders in the league right now. Even though he makes aggressive efforts to win the ball, nobody can deny the commitment he puts forward on the court.

Draymond is a born winner, and he hates to lose. He has won the NBA title three times as he put up a Twitter post stating how LeBron James was ahead of him in the title race. James is chasing his fifth title this season, as he looks to equal Kobe Bryant’s record of five titles.

Even though James has been suffering from niggling injuries, he remains to be the best player in the league. Bron is looking to win his second consecutive NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers. Draymond Green delivered a banter on his post regarding how Bron was the only guy who had more titles than him.

The commitment the ‘Akron Hammer’ shows on the court is second to none.
