NBA Career

However, Green had a stellar year, earning the Defensive Player of the Year honor and securing a second Championship victory with the Warriors.
Despite winning consecutive championships in 2017 and 2018, the Warriors’ offense was weakened by injuries. However, thanks to the efforts of Draymond Green and Stephen Curry, they were able to make it to the 2019 Finals, where they ultimately fell to the Toronto Raptors in 6 games.
After sitting out multiple games between 2019 and 2022, Green made a comeback in the 2022 playoffs and helped lead the team to their fourth NBA Championship.
