      That’s a nice and humble way of looking at it, but I wouldn’t say that’s true. Some of the greatest athletes of all time have no problem letting the world know they’re great. I’m not sure you can become a truly great player without feeling that way. Draymond just isn’t afraid to speak on it.

      but that's where you're wrong because every player in that era "wasn't" dirty
      The "only" players back then that were known for being DIRTY were the Bad Boy Pistons and mainly:
      Bill Laimbeer & Dennis Rodman, if you really think about it...that didn't really start until Rick Mahorn got there, that's really when that really began:
      Rick Mahorn got to the Pistons in 85-86, the next year is when they started the war with Boston and became dirty bruising players
      HE was the one who really started that& outside of the Pistons, you had the Knicks who were always trying to use brute force but alot of that came from MJ destroying them year after year after year

Especially seen how useless some of these coach have been who have had the best players and still find ways to lose games and get totally destroyed.

      This is definitely not the best of season and neither was the last despite the bubble tournament being great. They need to rethink this whole thing without putting the money first. It just gets worse the more I watch closely which has been a little easier this year.

    Dennis Rodman is the best defender ever.

He might also be the best rebounder ever as well but that's a different topic.

      He models his defense from the 2012-2013 Lebron. He is great. Just not all-time. Lebron was also better because he is and still is more athletic than Draymond.

    Not even a top 10 of all time he'll probably not even a top 20. Sit down dunky. 💯

      He’s probably in the 30-40 range.

      He won DPOY. He's at least in the 20--30 range. I think folks have a hard time being ubiased with Dray because he has a big mouth and kicks players in the nuts, but he's actually a very very good defender.

      drays mouth is what makes him draymond green. his mouth is what he uses to communicate to his teammates and energize the whole squad. its not one of his worst qualities...its one of his best. u gotta have that pride to be draymond green, and he earned the right to say and believe that he is the best defensive player ever. do i think he is? nah. but kobe thought he was the goat. did any1 else think he was? nah (other than some delusional Lakers fans). but that belief in being the best is what made him so great. if u don't think ur the best or are aiming to be the best, then what are you doing? aim for the moon and land on the stars.

      @@walitoor4328 If we are being honest Draymonds mouth is why he is even talked about. His sound bites get him attention. He wouldn’t be seen as a star otherwise. He’s great at marketing himself by saying wild things.

    The NBA needs to drug test Draymond cause he's showing signs of smoking crack by saying that comment.

    There are so many players you can think of being the best defensive player in the NBA before even considering Draymond Green. Rodman, Ben Wallace, Hakeem and Shaq are ones to mention before Draymond.
