As the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets exchanged pleasantries late in the fourth quarter Wednesday night, Draymond Green looked on like a proud dad. The Warriors waved the white flag early in Wednesday's Game 5,

During the Warriors' run, Draymond Green saw his odds for to win Defensive Player of the Year shift dramatically. His odds were +8000 on February 20, and went to -160 as of April 18. While Green was named as a finalist for the award, it was Cleveland Cavaliers big man Evan Mobley who took home the hardware.

Draymond Green went directly to the camera and put his face mere inches from the lens. He wanted to tell the world that he was still its best defender.
