Even as many still question over whether Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is a future Hall of Famer, he silenced such doubts once again after capturing his second career Olympic gold medal.
Amid much doubt over whether they would claim a gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Team USA took care of business early Saturday morning as it defeated Team France in the Gold Medal game. As expected, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant led the way with a game-high 29 points.
Green did not score a single point in the game, but he still exerted a keen presence in the contest thanks to his team-high five assists and superb on-ball defensive play.
The Golden State Warriors star has now won two Olympic gold medals to go along with his three NBA championship wins. As noted by ESPN, Green joins Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Scottie Pippen as the only players ever to achieve this feat.

Green has continued to bolster his stout Hall of Fame resume. To go along with the trio of NBA title wins and the two Olympic gold medals, he has also won the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year Award and has also been named to three All-Star Games over the course of his career.
If Green were to retire today, he surely would be a first-ballot lock for the Basketball Hall of Fame, which would be a notable achievement for him.
The Warriors star will now enjoy a much-needed vacation ahead of the upcoming new NBA season, which will kick off in October.
