    What's with these Draymond Green comnents? That midget is overrated. Only reason he's good is because of his team around him. Play him one on one with Aldridge, Draymond Green will get owned that midget. Draymond Green is a good passer, I'll give him that. And he is a good team player and brings good chemistry. But put him against a good power forward like Aldridge, he's done. He's also been so good for the Warriors because of the team's system and chemistry. Put him on another team he'll be a back up or a D League player.

    And I don't know what y'all see in Green, he's just a good role player that fits the Warriors system. Put Green on a team with no stars, and you will never hear about him again. I never seen a more overrated player than Draymond Green. Look at his video highlights? He's average at best, he only makes triple double against the 76ers and Wolves lmao. He's a good passer and a good team player I'll give him that. But put him on a crap team, we will NEVER hear from him again.

    Damn, Yao looks so huge against all GS players, Yao would be absolutely unstoppable in today's NBA, where everybody is shooting 3s, Yao would have all layups and dunks all day long

    I remember Eduardo Najera shutting Yao down every year. Draymond Green is a dirtier version of him, so we would have a lot of issues with this Warriors team.

    I didn't know the refs told the Jazz to front Yao every possession. Wow, new information.

    Yaos legs weigh more than draymond. He could front but he's only what 6 8. Yao was 7 6.

    Anyone can be shut down if the opponents sticks 2 players on you, and dare your teammates to beat them.

    Yao dominated against size. He dominated Dwight, He dominated Bradley, Dominated tons of bigs but he was always weak against speed. Guard routinely stripped him from the weak side.
