Draymond Jamal Green Sr. is an American professional basketball player, currently playing for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). A three-time NBA champion, a four-time NBA All-Star, a two-time member of the All-NBA Team, a seven-time member of the All-Defensive Team, and a two-time Olympic gold medalist, Draymond has won it almost all. He plays primarily at the power forward position and was awarded the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. He led the league in the steals in the same season as well.

Green was born in Saginaw, Michigan, and attended Michigan State University, where he helped the Spartans reach two Final Fours and win the Big Ten Tournament in 2012. Green received conference and national awards throughout his four-year college career, including Big Ten Conference Sixth Man of the Year as a sophomore and consensus All-American and NABC National Player of the Year honors as a senior. The Golden State Warriors selected him 35th overall in the 2012 NBA draught, and he went on to play a major role on the Warriors’ championship teams in 2015, 2017, and 2018.

Green is considered one of the modern greats by many sports legends and pundits, thanks to his versatility in playing at every position. He plays for the Warriors as an undersized center in their “Death Lineup”, playing and defending at multiple positions, making plays for teammates, and spacing the floor.
