Who is Draymond Green? He is two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, starting power forward of the Golden State Warriors, a crucial member of the team's clutchtime small-ball lineup and a veteran who has been with the Warriors, playing in five NBA Finals series and winning three championships.

Warriors fans love him for his passion and energy on the floor as much as they hate him for his poor scoring ability, volcanic temper and poor choice of words. Many still blame him for driving Kevin Durant away by yelling "We don't need you. We won without you. Leave!"

Meanwhile, Green does not just "shut up and dribble" because he both sees and speaks about the issues in the league. Sometimes, he actually makes a good point.
