Today at the NBA Finals Media Day, Draymond Green was asked to comment on his statement from a few weeks ago where he claimed that he was the greatest defender of all time. Green’s response was a powerful message for anyone seeking success in life.
Here were Green’s originally comments, which he gave after the Golden State Warriors won Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals over the Portland Trail Blazers:
“The best defender ever?” Draymond pondered after Golden State held the Blazers to just 38.5% shooting in the second half of game 2: “Me.”
Here was how Green explained his position today:
“As a competitor, if you’re trying to do something meaningful, if you don’t have the mindset you’re the best ever, you’ve failed already,” Green said. “That’s been my mindset since I can remember. That will be my mindset as long as I can remember anything. That I am the best ever at what I do.”
