Golden State Warriors' All-star big man Draymond Green is truly an interesting talent on the court. For being undersized for a traditional big and less athletic than the normal player, he makes up for it with his high basketball IQ, tenacious defense, and tough as nails attitude, which has fruitfully led to three championships for the Bay Side area.
With all the challenges that he has gone through the league, you would think that there is nothing in the league that could slow the former Defensive Player of the Year.
According to a tweet from Will Gottlieb of the Athletic, the regular season and postseason took a lot out from the two-time All-NBA selection.
Dray on getting through the grind of last season, Rockets series and Finals: "it was THE toughest thing I've been through in my life"

Despite being at the top of the hill, the Golden State Warriors are not the omnipotent force in the league that people think they are. With everything going on in the NBA, things like stress, fatigue, and other factors which cannot be avoided, it just goes to show that everyone in the league are mere mortals.
As opposing teams close on the gap that the talent-laden Warriors established, the pressure for continuous success and championships will get tougher and heavier for the current champions.
With everyone's sights on the prize, the NBA championship, it will be up to Draymond Green and the Warriors to defend their claim. If last season was the toughest thing Green has been through, with the NBA landscape constantly shifting, and with targets on their backs, the Golden State Warriors might be in for their toughest season ever.
