Draymond Greenâs NBA Finals run was one hell of a rollercoaster ride. During the first half of the series, the Warriors veteran looked like a shell of himself. Some fans even went on to call him a liability on the court. The Celtics fanbase also let Draymond hear about it, jeering him during Games 3 and 4 of the series.
As the series went on, though, Green bounced back in a huge way for the Warriors. Slowly but surely, the classic Draymond effect was felt by the Celtics. His tenacious defense and incredible playmaking hounded the Celtics in Game 5. The closeout game 6 was Green at his peak: as he was quite literally all over the floor for the Warriors.
Despite his struggles, the Warriors never gave up on Green. They knew more than anyone just how vital he is to their championship hopes. Itâs only fitting that they pay tribute to Green in the most Draymond way possible after their Finals win.
