The 2022 NBA Playoffs are full of excitement and surprises. Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green believes this is a good thing for the league, and he explained why over the weekend.

The Athletic's Anthony Slater caught the Warriors big man's response at practice on Saturday:

“Now is the time you see stars being made,” Green told reporters. “I think it's been a really good playoff so far, and I expect that to get better and better. I think it's a lot of teams in this league that are good. I don't know if there are many great teams in this league, but I think there are a lot of teams that are good, which makes for great parity, which makes great basketball.”

The Brooklyn Nets-Boston Celtics series has been entertaining because nobody thought the Celtics would have a 3-0 lead at any point. Every game has been extremely close and could have gone either way. The Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz are tied at 2-2, and the games have been equally exciting.

The Warriors-Denver Nuggets series is one of the few non-competitive ones, but it has been a fun one for Dubs fans. Plus, a new star has been born in this series: Jordan Poole, who went over 25 points in each of the first three games of the series. The emergence of Poole has made this a lopsided series.

When it comes to the rest of the NBA, the playoffs have been a fan's dream. The competition is fierce, and there are a ton of contenders this year. Nobody knows who the true favorite to win it all is, which is great for basketball.
