Draymond Green did not win the award for NBA Defensive Player of the Year, but he did win over fans with a hilarious quote he offered about the matter.
Green finished second in voting to San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard, who received 333 total points compared to Green’s 317. Green actually had 45 1st-place votes — more than any other player — but Leonard was second and third on more ballots, giving him more overall points (see the full results here). Green was hurt by several voters leaving him off their ballot entirely, which doesn’t make much sense.
