The Golden State Warriors, for over ten years, have found unparalleled success with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson. All three are past their prime, although they remain productive NBA players.
Green is still a hard-nosed defender and vocal leader, although his on-court skills have taken a dip with age. Still, it's hard to argue that any team wouldn't be better off with him on the roster, which has caused him to become a little overrated.
In The Ringer's updated list of the ten best players in the NBA, Green snuck into the 50th spot.

While fans generally have a lot of respect for Green, even the most diehard Warriors fans will admit that Green was ranked a little (or very) high.
"Yea I disagree Green shouldn't even be in the top 50," commented a fan.
"Draymond not even top 100," added another, which might be taking things a little far.
In the twilight of his career, Green is known more as an instigator and podcaster than anything else, although his impact on the court remains high-level, especially on the defensive end.
If the Warriors bring back Gary Payton II in free agency and run things back with a similar roster, Golden State could boast a top-three defense, and Green's impact plays a massive role in that.
On top of overrating Green, The Ringer placed Curry fifth, ahead of Anthony Edwards and Jayson Tatum, and ranked Butler 24th, which was also generally seen as too high of a ranking.
