Dray is one of the greatest defensive players of all time. But this team isn’t just him, Steph, and Buddy. And it’s early in season let’s see where GS is in February
Draymond's greatness should never be downplayed again if GS has a top record this year.

The thing about the NBA, is that most of its fans and viewers are casuals.
But anyone who really knows ball, knows that Dray is one of the greats on mad levels. Dude has always been one of the most important players in the league. Ridiculously high basketball IQ, leadership, and wild other aspects of what makes a winner. Anybody focusing on the other sh*t and not on that dude's greatness is just an idiot and doesn't know basketball.

Only low IQ PPG countin clowns underrate Draymond at this point
Best defensive player of an entire generation of basketball (2014-22). Gets better in yoffs, competitor, clutch. At his peak he was easily a top 10 player in 2016 before he forgot how to shoot 3s. Had one of GOAT game 7 performances in finals where he almost carried Warriors to a win wit Steph n Klay shyttin the bed.
One of the best handlin and playmakin bigs ever too and one of the highest IQ ever. He just not a scorer, don't got a post game, not a consistent shot.... Just traditional shyt nikkas associate good players too. Ya gotta think of Dray more like a prime JKidd, but as a big not a guard. Kidd couldn't score good but ya out ya got damn mind if he wasn't one of the best most impactful players of the 2000s.
nikkas always say Dray wouldn't be nothin without Steph as if Steph don't get massive help from Dray presence too. The ability to handle and pass ball allow Steph to do work off ball not many bigs ever can find Steph like Draymond does. He cover for his defense too and Steph efficiency wit Dray playin compare to when he out show a clear picture.

Great breakdown.
The thing with Dray on defense is he is a playmaker with steals, blocks, and deflections (probably has the most deflections of this generation by a large margin), but he's also the best on ball defender in the game, can guard all 5 positions on the ball, and his defensive rotations are the best the sport has ever seen. He covers for others missed rotations nightly.
Bro is the most impactful player without dominant numbers to ever play the game. Rodman and Hakeem has the high boards and block numbers, Dray just has 3-6 of every single stat every night, including points lol
nikka missed a 5x5 2 different times because of points lol

The 2020 Olympics solidified it for me that he is an all time great.
The way he outright disrupted teams from doing what they wanted to do. It's criminal that he wasn't on the 2024 teams or the games wouldn't have been as close. His defense of the 3 to 5 is top three ever that I've seen play.
