Draymond Green was selected for defense again after ten years, Curry posted a special congratulations

The Golden State Warriors were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs in the 2024-25 season, which attracted the attention of many fans and media. After Stephen Curry was injured, the team performed terrible, Jimmy Butler was invisible, and Draymond Green was a little overwhelmed.

However, the Golden State Warriors have gained a lot in the recent regular season awards. Look, Draymond Green was selected for the All-Defensive Team. You should know that the last time Draymond Green entered the All-Defensive Team of the Year was the first team of 10 years ago.

Many fans and media believe that there are some dark stories when the NBA is selecting this time. Mainly, there are many players who have better inside defense than Draymond Green, and the Golden State Warriors are often beaten in the inside this season. It is indeed inappropriate that Draymond Green can still win the honor of defense for a while.

Stephen Coo's honors for his good brother Draymond Green were also specially posted on his personal social media to congratulate him. Stephen Curry posted pictures and texts saying, "You have been doing this all your career, but returning to the first team in ten years is a legend! Congratulations to brothers." The best defensive lineup of the year for the 2024-25 season is five players, namely Hawks Daniels, Thunder Dalter, Warriors Draymond Green, Cavaliers Mobley, and Rockets Amen Thompson. Draymond Green has been selected for the best defensive team nine times in his career, including five of which were selected for the first team of defense, four of which were selected for the second team of defense, one of which was selected for the best defensive player of the year, and one of which was elected as the king of steals.

This time he was selected for the defensive team of the year, which also made Draymond Green the fifth player in the league history to be selected for the defensive team at least nine times, and could also win the Defensive Player of the Year award. Michael Jordan, Gary Payton, Garnett and Olajuwon are the players who have accomplished this feat before Draymond Green.

As the fifth pick in the second round of 2012, Draymond Green is famous for his passing organization and fierce defense. He has injured people many times this season and has been condemned by fans, media and opponents. A few years ago, Draymond Green, who was almost suspended for life for fear of unemployment, even started crying and pretending to be wronged. After the 2024-25 season, 35-year-old Draymond Green has two more seasons left in his contract, with an average annual salary of about $26 million. The Golden State Warriors are likely to let him retire with Stephen Curry, after all, Stephen Curry's contract still has two seasons left.
