If you ask the son of Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green to choose who to rebound for between his father or Stephen Curry, he would go with the 2-time MVP. During his post-game press conference following their 118-97 win over the Denver Nuggets, Green shared a cute and funny story about how he would bring Draymond Jr. to the practice facility and his child would do some part-time work as a rebounder.
Apparently, Green's son would prefer to go rebound for the greatest shooter of all time for a very good reason: he doesn't need to do a lot of work when Curry is splashing in every shot he takes.

Obviously, his son got the basketball smarts from his dad. Green has an extremely high basketball IQ. That was also on full display in their win over the Nuggets on Friday night.
The former Defensive Player of the Year had one of his best games of the season. He had a very Draymond Green-like stat-line where he scored just two points, but dished out 19 assists and hauled in 12 rebounds.
Despite scoring just one field goal, Green's presence on the floor was huge for the Warriors, especially with his playmaking and communication on defense. He found his open teammates on several instances with their timely cuts to the basket and delivered on-point passes to shooters from the perimeter.
On the other end of the floor, Green also had his hands full in defending Nikola Jokic during some stretches of the game. He certainly did a stellar job bothering the MVP frontrunner on Friday, limiting The Joker to just 19 points on 7-of-16 shooting.
