A guy who's not a champion can't talk too much about championships, can he?
Quote by -Draymond Green
Playing point guard is someone's instincts. They're used to that. That's my instincts.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I can throw all the good passes I want, but if they don't make shots, it's not an assist.
Quote by -Draymond Green
Just because it's a break doesn't mean it has to be fast all the time. It can be a secondary break, but you've got to allow the defense to break down.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I know when I need to be pushing it full speed; I know when I got to probe and allow the flow to open up, because, at the end of the day, on the basketball court, something's going to open up.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I was always taught, even as a kid, playing against grown men, you get better.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I think Coach Kerr and his staff have done a great job with what they bring to the table.
Quote by -Draymond Green
So many times, I watch games and think, 'Man, why is that guy trying to score like that? He can't do it.' But he's been told his whole life, 'You have to go get 40 if you want to be one of the top dogs.' It's my goal to build a lane where you can be a top dog, and you don't gotta go get that 40. You can go get four and still be a top dog.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I put my heart into this. Like, winning to me is, I make it life or death.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I was a great help-side defender in college, but as far as really wanting to lock somebody up, that was never really my focus.
Quote by -Draymond Green
My uncle, my dad always made sure I had guard skills. But as far as defending everybody, that wasn't really my mindset until my rookie year.
Quote by -Draymond Green
You couldn't play if you weren't tough. You'd get bullied. Everybody who comes through the Civitan Recreation Center has to be tough. It's what we breed.
Quote by -Draymond Green
Are you going to back down to somebody? If not, you're giving yourself a chance.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I've gotten to the point where I'm comfortable guarding any position on the floor. It just didn't happen overnight. It came with a lot of work, a lot of film study and everything.
Quote by -Draymond Green
If you put junk into your body, your body is going to give you junk results.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I see the game differently than some guys. I'm always reading the next move.
Quote by -Draymond Green
When I came out in the draft, people kept asking me, 'So are you a small forward or a power forward?' and I was like, 'I'm a basketball player.' Period.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I had a great time at Michigan State, but no four years will compare to Saginaw High.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I always loved playing basketball. That was never a problem for me. You want to go to the park or the gym, I'll play with you all day, but working out, I didn't love. I hated it.
Quote by -Draymond Green
What's my status? I'm just a guy from Saginaw, Michigan, trying to make it. But you know, pretty nice crib.
Quote by -Draymond Green
There's the Draymond Green you see out on the floor. But that's not me. I mean, it is, but there's more. People see the fiery guy, the competitive guy, the trash talk and everything. But they don't see the love and compassion. They don't see the person. They don't see the real me, who values his friends and puts people first.
Quote by -Draymond Green
In the NBA, there's always a guy who is only around because he can jump. He doesn't have a clue about the fundamentals. I learn more from the WNBA. They know how to dribble, how to pivot, how to use the shot fake.
Quote by -Draymond Green
There are certain guys in the league that get their rhythm off their dribble.
Quote by -Draymond Green
One thing I've always been taught at the defensive end is you hit first. In life, you throw the first punch; you don't get punched first. It's the same on defense: You've got to hit first. Do your work early. That's what I was always taught. If you don't do your work early, you're done.
Quote by -Draymond Green
I'm not as athletic as some guys, so I have to counter that with a tremendous brain that thinks the game.
Quote by -Draymond Green
You don't contest shots without expending energy. You don't get deflections - unless you walk into one every now and then - without expending energy. These are the things in basketball you have to really want to do.
Quote by -Draymond Green
There is no chip coming off of my shoulder because, at the end of the day, you're still going to continue to be doubted.
