Draymond Green - Defensive Dynamo 15/16 (Playoffs)
Спорт
Draymond Green is a two-time runner up to the Defensive Player of the Year award. His ability to guard any and every position at an elite level is a big part of what propelled the Golden State Warriors to the best regular season in NBA history. The ability for him to man the middle, and play the center spot is what allowed their “death lineup” to wreak so much havoc on the league. Dray's versatility, intelligence, and, ruggedness on defense, as well as his leadership and unrelenting passion, serve as the heartbeat of such a great team.
This video is about how special a defender he is, especially during the postseason. A player who was arguably robbed of a DPOY last year (by virtue of having more first place votes than the actual winner), usually doesn’t improve greatly…but there is nothing usual about Green anyway. His coming in second this season was not a surprise, because Kawhi entirely deserved it this year, but Coach Kerr’s insistence on using the death lineup as a hammer when the game needs to be put away is perfect. That lineup is the hammer, and it really puts the nail in the coffin. Yes, they didn’t finish with a ring, but as it stands, their regular season was a feat in and of itself, so let’s pay homage to one of the keys to making it happen.
Hell, the guy is so special, that he threw a 5 by 5 to keep the greatest start in NBA history alive. That puts him in absolutely elite company. That’s what Draymond has surrounded himself with anyway, with his NBA championship, all-star selection, all-NBA nods, and the like, which is not bad considering this guy was a second round draft pick.

He's one of the best defenders we've ever witnessed. Seriously, how many players can protect the rim, switch onto any player, actively get steals, and hold it down in the post? Draymond Green is a special kind of player.

Emmanuel Moses Enough. It's just that this guy can't do shit offensively so his defense stands more out. Lbj been doing this for the last 10 years come on man.

Shaq Bundy Draymond is a stretch 4 with playmaking ability. LeBron is better, we all know that. But Defensively, Draymond is special

Shaq Bundy LeBron has never been able to provide Draymond's rim protection nor has he been able to guard 5s. There's no comparison between the two. Draymond is up there with Rodman in regards to versatility.

Do you seriously believe Bron could guard a Marc Gasol or Cousins for 40+ mins? His height and strength have nothing to do with anything, because he simply doesn't have the BASE to defend bigs like a Rodman, Draymond, or even someone like Chuck Hayes. He's not an elite shot blocker. Most of his blocks are from the blind side or are chase down blocks. Him playing closer to the rim won't do anything to improve his blocks as he barely blocks shots straight up like Draymond And Rodman and Draymond Green are essentially the same mold of player. The only area Draymond exceeds in is his ability to shot-block, whilst Rodman exceeds in rebounding. Aside from that they're the same players. Anyone whose actually watched them plays know this.

Finessed Analyzer Well offensively Draymond is on another level. Rodman wasn't nearly as effective on that end.
I understand why ppl dislike him but just in a basketball sense there is no one like him in the NBA today. Can legit guard 1-5 and is a great team defender. He does all the small things it takes to win games and he's in a perfect position where his passing skills are illuminated with his stacked teammates on the offensive end. He should win DPOY this year.
Draymond does a great job of remaining vertical and walling off shots at the rim without fouling
If anything Green has 100% heart. Never gives up on a play.
a lot can change between now and march, but if he keeps playing like this, the dpoy award is his.
Smart defender,right position,right timing
