As he preps to face the Celtics and DPOY Marcus Smart, Draymond Green says he took being voted to the All-Defensive second team as a “slight” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 9:43 PM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
ICYMI: Klay Thompson on Dominique Wilkins, Kevin Durant, Rudy Gay & Grant Hill giving helpful insight during his Achilles rehab. Rudy also shared with Klay what the late Kobe Bryant told him about his Achilles recovery on.nba.com/3t8tQWA – 7:50 PM David Hardisty @clutchfans
From the archives: January 3, 2019. Down two in Cali, #Rockets James Harden hits the game-winning three in OT right in the mugs of Dray and Klay. I overlayed the radio call on the video back then — @ca_rockets threw out his back on the call. pic.twitter.com/Zs28JTR6wi – 6:02 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater

Knowing Draymond’s hope to earn DPOTY, I asked if he felt like All-Defensive 2nd Team was a compliment or a slight. Draymond said, “It’s a slight. I think when I look at the first team, I’m not sure I can pinpoint definitely five guys that had a better defensive season than me.” – 5:29 PM Krishna Narsu @knarsu3
KD’s definitely going to be watching the Finals with a Tatum jersey on rooting hard against Steph and the Warriors 😂 – 5:20 PM Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Draymond Green sees Second-Team All-Defensive as a slight. Doesn’t see five guys who were better at defense than him this season – 5:16 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Why won’t they trade for a big man? They’re too small. Why won’t they scour the buyout market? Through the relentless questions, Steve Kerr and Draymond Green didn’t blink. Neither did Kevon Looney. nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio… – 4:46 PM Justin Kubatko @jkubatko

“No one has proven that they can move us off that spot. That’s the mindset we come into this thing with. We understand what it takes to win a championship.” basketballnews.com/breakingnews/s… – 7:20 PM StatMuse @statmuse

The biggest free agent signings in 2019: Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving
Three years later – the team KD left (the Warriors) and the team Kyrie left (the Celtics) are facing off in the NBA Finals – 8:46 AM Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP
With 26 tonight, the inaugural Larry Bird ECF MVP Jayson Tatum passed Kevin Durant and Tony Parker into 3rd on the NBA’s all-time playoff scoring list for players under the age of 25.

tatum has toppled kd, giannis, and jimmy butler. next up: steph curry. what a run – 11:29 PM StatMuse @statmuse
Jayson Tatum has won vs KD, Giannis and Jimmy this playoffs. pic.twitter.com/S8U999DW77 – 11:27 PM Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
From Kevin Durant’s toe to Max Strus’ heel … – 11:22 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jimmy Butler all played the Celtics with an injury-riddled roster.
Jimmy Butler came closer to beating them than Giannis or KD did.
I don’t know what to make of that, but it’s pretty significant for how we should think of Jimmy. – 11:20 PM Justin Garcia @tmjgarcia
The Celtics are the best team left in the playoffs. They’re better than a healthy Miami team and much better than this version limping to the finish line. They took out KD and Giannis but are 24 minutes away from blowing what might be this group’s best chance at a title – 9:59 PM Sopan Deb @SopanDeb
ok seriously it’s an hour long pregame show for a game 7 of the eastern conference and espn has spent the most time on whether KD is better than Curry (because it’s 2018) and the lakers new coach – 8:06 PM Sopan Deb @SopanDeb
looking forward to warriors fans sensibly reacting to this espn discussion on who is better between KD and curry – 8:03 PM Kevin Durant @KDTrey5
Nobody better…. That left is a missle. Stay away. – 12:58 AM Kevin Durant @KDTrey5
I be talking to the tv like I’m the Cut man. 🗣 Lets get it Tank – 12:33 AM

More on this storyline

These are the sorts of name-brand playoff challenges and triumphs that lift franchises above almost all others. These kinds of series get huge ratings, raise the impact and get future documentarians primed for action. And the Warriors, in their sixth Finals trip and going for their fourth title of this era, are right on the verge. “I think I want it more now because this is considered a great matchup if you’re an NBA fan,” Lacob said. “I think it’s going to be a very interesting matchup. I think it’s going to be really hard. … “I think we’ll win. I think we’re better. I believe in our coach and I believe in our roster. But I don’t think it’s going to be easy at all. It’s going to be a big battle.” -via The Athletic / May 31, 2022 Connor Letourneau: Draymond Green on making All-Defensive Second Team: “For me, it’s a slight. … When I look at the First Team, I’m not sure I can pinpoint five guys who had a better defensive season than me.” -via Twitter @Con_Chron / May 31, 2022 Dalton Johnson: Draymond: “You have to embrace your path for what it is, and that’s what has done.” -via Twitter @DaltonJ_Johnson / May 31, 2022
