Deserves it, congrats! He improves every year and I don't think he's close to his ceiling yet. He's the smartest player in the NBA. Advanced metrics rank him as one of the top 5 players in the league.

There were zero people who saw this coming.
 
He should be top 5 in MVP voting this year, I thought maybe he'd have a decent career and get a second contract. I just didn't see him improving so much defensively

He absolutely shut fellow All Star Aldridge down the other night, Aldridge could barely get off a shot against him.
 
Matched the 95-96 bulls record tonight. They are going to eclipse it next game. Im VERY HAPPY Green is part of it but im not happy about it. I didnt think id see any team match that record in my day.

fuq the Bulls - I'm a fan of any team or player that's in position to take a record from them or Jordan. Go Warriors!

here's a good article on LeBron and Gilbert but it has some good quotes from Izzo, etc, about Draymond

In 2012, Gilbert had said that the big lesson he learned from James' departure in 2010 was to never let a player have that much leverage over his franchise again. But coming out of that meeting with James' agents, Gilbert thought back to the call he'd gotten from Michigan State coach Tom Izzo at the end of the first round of the 2012 NBA draft. Izzo had told him, "You gotta take my guy." The Cavs had two second-round picks, and Izzo was calling Gilbert, a Michigan State guy, to tell him that Draymond Green was the real deal. "I still wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat that we didn't take him," Gilbert says of Green, who torched the Cavs for 28 points in the Warriors' 110-77 win in Game 2 of the Finals. "I didn't listen to my gut."

If the Warriors win Thursday night, Draymond deserves to be finals MVP. They got absolutely obliterated on defense without him last night. Warriors are a soft team without Draymond on the floor. He's the only tough guy on the team.
 
What little I've watched of him in the NBA, he seems to be getting a pretty bad rep.

does he guard Lebron most of the time?
 
There was even mention from the play by play guys Lebrons performance wouldnt have been the same if Green was in.

I disagree, the only reason Cleveland still has life is because of Green. He gave them momentum with his careless decisions.
 
This is great for the NBA, one more game at least and a story to get people talking. Great for TV revenue and the cavs cash flow
