Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is too zoned-into the task at hand to quite grasp the immensity of it, but having been at this stage, the NBA Finals, he's able to take a slight step back and know just how special it is to have two teams playing at such a high level and clash against one another for all the marbles.

“I think it's a great thing for the league, contrary to popular belief what everyone says is boring,” Green told reporters Friday afternoon. “I think maybe people just fail to realize that you just have two great teams and don't appreciate that. Everyone wants to say, ‘This is boring,' and this, that, and the other. But you usually don't appreciate something until you don't have it anymore.”

“I think maybe that's just a lack of appreciation for greatness. But then when you look at a situation, most people have never reached greatness. So maybe there's just not an understanding of what you're watching.”

In some way, the same thing happened with the Chicago Bulls of the 80's and 90's, so used to the greatness of Michael Jordan and his endless accolades, that they didn't mind another player receiving the MVP and often didn't make a big deal of his countless scoring titles and the individual records he set in a seasonal basis.

Now, 14 years after he played his last game as a pro, some of his Bulls teams are regarded as some of the best or most dominant of all-time, and his 6-0 finals record is heralded as the very crown of basketball regalia.

Many have regarded the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors as a couple of super teams meant to meet in the Finals, taking all the purpose away from an long regular season and a postseason with teams that have been clearly outplayed by these two super giants.

Green doesn't think of it that way, instead choosing to give credit to both teams for striving for excellence and continuing in said path on their way to a third straight NBA Finals.

“I think you've found two great teams, and we've played that way. And maybe people don't appreciate it because of a blowout or because of a sweep,” he added. “But people might want to be careful because I think right now, you're witnessing greatness. Two great teams, great players, and that's what it is.

“And like I said, it probably won't be appreciated until it's over. Whoever wins this championship, say we meet again next year, it still won't be appreciated until we don't meet again and you realize what you had.”

The long-awaited series will tip-off on June 1 at Oracle Arena after a long rest following a relatively breezy road to the NBA Finals.
