On Monday night, Golden State Warriors All-Star Draymond Green had his jersey retired by Michigan State University.
Surrounded by many family members - and with Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr, D’Angelo Russell, Joe Lacob, Bob Myers, and Zaza Pachulia in attendance - Green had his #23 jersey lifted to the rafters, where it sits next to a few legendary basketball names, including Magic Johnson.
It was a beautiful and emotional ceremony, with Michigan State putting together a tremendous highlights package, and Green addressing the crowd. The NBA Defensive Player of the Year got a little emotional, quite understandably, while thanking his family, the Warriors, the Spartans fanbase, and the players and coaches he shared four years in East Lansing with.
