Draymond Green revealed his picks for four players he would want to go to war with. The 4-time champ was forced to leave out his Warriors teammates but Green’s selections showcased his admiration for players across the league who embody toughness and resilience.

“I am taking Ja Morant. He ain’t backing down from nobody. When Ja says he’s running up the chimney, and he running up that MF. I’m taking Ja, I’m taking ‘Bron.”

“I’m taking Joker, man. That dude is an animal. He’s an animal. He don’t talk. He don’t flaunt. You ain’t movin’ him off his spot. You’re not rattling him with nothing. Like nothing’s rattling him. He an animal. I’m taking him. And he nice.”

“My last one, I’m taking is Shai Gilgeous Alexander.” (1:01:55)

Among his picks were Ja Morant and LeBron James, both recognized for their fearless approach to the game. However, it was Green’s choice of Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets’ star center, that caught many off guard including Jamal Crawford, who was the guest on ‘The Draymond Green Show’. Describing Jokic as an “animal” on the court, Green praised his unflappable demeanor and unwavering presence.

The selection of Jokic may have come as a surprise to some, considering Green’s history with European big men, including incidents involving Domantas Sabonis and Jusuf Nurkic. However, Green’s acknowledgment of Jokic’s improvement over the years and their mutual respect for each other’s game highlight the camaraderie among NBA players.

Jokic’s ability to dominate the game on both ends of the floor has earned him recognition as one of the best players in the world. Despite his unassuming nature, Jokic’s impact on the court is undeniable, making him a formidable opponent for any team.

To round out his team, Green selected Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, emphasizing the versatility and talent of the young guard. With Morant, James, Jokic, and Gilgeous-Alexander as his chosen “warriors,” Green assembled a lineup that would pose a significant challenge to any opponent.

Ultimately, Green’s selections reflect his appreciation for players who embody the competitive spirit and determination necessary to succeed in the NBA. Regardless of team affiliation, Green recognizes the value of having teammates who share his commitment to winning and competing at the highest level.


Can This Team Go 82-0?

While assembling a team consisting of Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, LeBron James, Ja Morant, and Draymond Green undoubtedly presents a formidable lineup, the question of whether they could achieve a perfect 82-0 record requires a closer examination.

Undoubtedly, this hypothetical team boasts an impressive array of talent. Jokic, as the reigning Finals MVP and widely regarded as the best player in the world, would undoubtedly anchor the squad. Alongside him, the likes of LeBron, Shai, and Ja offer dynamic playmaking abilities and scoring threats, with LeBron and Jokic particularly adept in the post.

Defensively, while Draymond Green stands out as a notable defender renowned for his versatility and basketball IQ, the rest of the lineup also possesses defensive capabilities, albeit to varying degrees.

However, despite the talent on paper, several factors may hinder the team’s pursuit of a perfect season. One potential concern lies in perimeter shooting, as Draymond and Ja are not known for their prowess from beyond the arc, though they command respect from defenders. This could potentially limit the team’s offensive spacing and efficiency, particularly in a league where three-point shooting plays a significant role.

Moreover, the age and playing levels of LeBron and Green raise questions about durability and consistency over the course of an entire season. While both players bring invaluable experience and leadership, the rigors of an 82-game schedule may take a toll, potentially leading to occasional losses.

In conclusion, while this hypothetical team undoubtedly possesses the talent and skill to compete at a high level, achieving a perfect 82-0 record would be a monumental feat. Factors such as perimeter shooting, defensive consistency, and player durability may present challenges along the way, suggesting that 5-6 losses over the course of the season are not only likely but perhaps inevitable given the circumstances.
