Draymond Green is a player who often divides opinions. Some fans don’t like him at all. Some fans can’t seem to love him enough. But what all fans agree on is he is a player you would love to have on your team but hate to have on your opponent’s team. And Golden State Warriors fans love him to death. Ever since the Warriors selected him in the second round of the NBA draft, he has become a fan favorite for the team.

The Warriors team is built on chemistry and trusting every player. They play with a defined system in which every player has a role. Superstar point guard Stephen Curry may be the team’s offensive engine. But is it Draymond who serves as the defensive pillar of the team and is also arguably the emotional leader of the group.

According to Andre Iguodala, Draymond once even took Steph to the task. It was during the 2016 playoffs and Curry had just returned from an injury. But Steph was struggling a little bit with his shot. However, Draymond was not having any of it. He said, “Hey man, this is the Warriors. This ain’t just Steph Curry. It’s the Steph Curry Show but it ain’t just Steph Curry, it’s the Warriors.” But Stephen Curry was defiant and took another shot. And then he said, “and I’m going to shoot it again!‘”

They still have Stephen Curry locked up for four years and Klay Thompson also has two years remaining on his contract. The Warriors will likely do everything possible to extend this dynasty and their history tells us they certainly can.
