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.”

“When I do things, I'm all-in.”

“I've never been a guy who has said 'OK' about stuff. That's not me. That's not my personality. If I think something's wrong, I express that.”

“I'm going to be more critical of myself than anyone could ever be.”

“Four-men aren't used to picking up guys pushing the ball in transition. Let alone, somebody getting the rebound and just busting.”

“I may not be the most athletic, but I understand the game.”

“If you're not getting better, you're getting worse.”

“A guy that's going to do all of the dirty work, that guy that is willing to defend anyone and do the little things and not really care about all of that other stuff. I think every championship team needs that.”

“I will not feel like I've made it until the day I retire from basketball because there's something that I can always get better at, and there's always somebody better, and that's what drives me.”

“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.”

“I know what I'm capable of, and I try to go out and prove that.”

“I see the game differently than some guys. I'm always reading the next move.”

“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.”

“Become a good all-around human being.”

“If you've got to second-guess talking to a teammate, what you have will never work.”

“I watch basketball all day every day. So when I'm watching the games, I watch it - I just enjoy watching basketball - but when I'm watching other people play, I'm really just watching as a student trying to figure different things out.”

“Every year, I strive to be the best defensive player in the league.”

“I had a great time at Michigan State, but no four years will compare to Saginaw High.”

“There are certain guys in the league that get their rhythm off their dribble.”

“I put my heart into this. Like, winning to me is, I make it life or death.”
