For the first time in their outstanding five-year run in which they have made five straight NBA Finals appearances and won three championships, the Golden State Warriors are finding themselves in the underdog role.

The Warriors currently trail the Toronto Raptors 3-1 heading into Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday night, and they will now have to do something that was done to them by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 by having to win three straight games in order to secure the title.

Proving people wrong is nothing new for Warriors big man Draymond Green, a second-round draft pick who spent much of his career being told he couldn't make it in the NBA.

So, this current deficit is just par for the course as far as Green is concerned, as was all of the talk about his decline this season:

“I’ve proved people wrong my entire career,” Green said, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. “So this year, people saying I’m done. Draymond’s done. They’ve been saying I’m done since 2012 when I stepped in the league. They didn’t give me a fighter’s chance. They didn’t give me a (expletive) shot. They’ve been wrong a lot. They’re wrong yet again. I like when we win championships, because then that’s all they can say. That’s all people can say.”

Will Green be able to prove the doubters wrong again for the remainder of this series?

Draymond Green and the Warriors may certainly have a better chance of doing so if Kevin Durant returns for Game 5, and as of now, it's looking like Durant will give it a go.
