    Draymond is the best big man in basketball, which is EMBARRASSING FOR THE NBA. These "BIGS" today don't punish him on the post for being 6'7 and playing in that small ball line-up. They don't retaliate when he scratches guys in the eyes, steps underneath shooters or kicks people in the balls. The NBA IS SOFT and this guy gets away with murder because EVERYONE acts like they're afraid of him. Draymond is the best " BIG" in the NBA and its not close because these players are Wussies and the Rockets are embodying that in this series.

    I would love an old school hard NBA foul in return for some his antics. I would love to see a true tough professional big man punish him in the post or get physical with him. I would love for a true big TO MEET HIS AGGRESSION WITH AGGRESSION! But Jesus Christ it's like too much to ask today's big man to play physical with this guy. For instance, Capela drives me effing crazy being so damn weak.The mindset of the today's big man is disgusting. Had this guy taken his ass in the paint in other eras, he would be food for the Lions. But in this one, he's a rock star. EVERY BIG IN THE NBA SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED!

    He is the most VERSATILE but not the best.

    Yes, Kevin Durant IMO is a BIG.

    I think we have historical proof that wouldn't bother Draymond Green.



    Green would have ate up Karl Malone, too, just like Rodman did.

    For Draymond to be considered a " Big" is embarrassing for the NBA.

    He plays the way basketball should be played.

    I would like to punch people in the face because Dray inspires me so much!

    So you admit a 6'7, 210 lb SF was able to embarrass the biggest, strongest PF the league has ever seen.

    I'm pretty sure most people prefer Unassisted Dunks.

    I admit that all of today's big men are soft and embarrassing themselves. They're afraid of the guy.

    He gets away with it also so it encourages him more and strengthing his play even more. He’s good but not great. The Worriers team is false, as a collective talent they should be very good but individually or with only few, they wouldn’t fare well (Durant would but has no heart).

    Because he can switch on defense as well as protect the rim (though not as good as Gobert).

    I think Tucker can handle Draymond. Thicc man will body Green. Problem is, Tuck even sneezes within 5 feet of Draymond and Draymonds crying and screaming at the referee. Double standard imo.

    He’s not. GS just knows how to use their assets. He’s someone that benefits by having 3 or 4 guys on the court that require more attention than him at all times. He’s never a defenses top focus no matter what lineup. He would struggle as a number one or two guy.

    He's the perfect fit
    Yep. Take out Green and plug in Tucker and you would get similar results from that position.

    You really think Tucker can produce 7.1 assists/game, because that is Green's average over the past 4 years.

    If this helps, here's the list of PFs or Cs who had 7+ apg in a season:
    • Lebron (9 times)
    • Green (3 times. and 6.9 this year)
    • Bird (thrice)
    • Wilt (twice)
    • Jokic (once, so far)
    And if you do 10 assists per 100 possessions, you can take Bird and Wilt off that list (leaving just 3 players), and Green has 4 such seasons, Lebron 6.

    Yeah, I can totally see PJ on that list.
