Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors is one of the biggest names in the NBA, but he’s also a fan.
Like millions of others, he is blown away by the level of talent in the league.
When it comes to his favorite player to watch, Green has a clear choice: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
“Shai, he’s just going to get you a bucket. People complaining that he’s drawing fouls but that’s a skill. There’s an art to it. If you’re a dumb defender and you foul, that’s your fault,” Green said.

Gilgeous-Alexander just had a historic season that resulted in him becoming a champion.
It may have been the first time, but many people believe he will do it again soon, perhaps even next season.
Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the craftiest and fastest players in the league.
He is able to move up and down the court, finding ways to score as well as lock down his opponents with strong defense.
He has a skill at finding a bucket, no matter who he is playing against or how tough the defender is.
Some people complain that Gilgeous-Alexander draws fouls too often, but Green isn’t buying that.
Instead, Green thinks it’s all part of the game and that Gilgeous-Alexander simply plays on the stupidity of the men he is battling against.
The comments and debate around Gilgeous-Alexander will only grow in the new season.
Now that he’s a champion, more people will have strong opinions about him, with some praising him and others critiquing him.
But no matter what, Gilgeous-Alexander has the support of one of the league’s toughest stars, and that means something.
