Did Draymond Green make Bleacher Report’s top 100 NBA players of all-time list?

Draymond Green is one of the greatest defenders ever. He is also a key cog in one of the greatest teams and dynasties in NBA history. However, his individual statistics have never told the full story of his impact.

That’s why when Bleacher Report’s Top 100 NBA Players of All Time list dropped, everyone wanted to know if Draymond made the list. 

Unlike the Top-75 players list that came out a few years ago, Draymond did make BR’s top 100 NBA players list. He came in at number 88. 

“The greatest defensive player of the modern era, Green’s ability to cover any perimeter position while also manning the center spot made him an integral force on a Warriors team that won four titles and reached six Finals. In addition to his length and versatility, Green played with a unique combination of calculating, anticipatory genius and reckless physicality.

The latter got him suspended in the 2016 Finals and cost Golden State the cherry on top of a 73-win campaign that might have marked it as the single greatest season in NBA history.

Green’s synergy with Stephen Curry is part of his legacy, even if it’s reasonable to say he wouldn’t have enjoyed the same level of success without the greatest shooter of all time as a running mate. Green deserves credit for his offensive facilitation and singular mind-meld with Steph.

Controversial, outspoken, notorious for punching teammate Jordan Poole and undeniably a key factor in the Warriors’ dynasty, Green is beloved in Golden State and begrudgingly respected by the litany of opposing fanbases whose hopes he dashed year after year.”

It will always be difficult to properly rank Green. He is so much more than his numbers, but at the same time he has been blessed to play with some of the greatest players to ever do it. However, the fact that he at least made the top 100 players of all-time list means that at least some people are properly respecting his accomplishments.
