The Golden State Warriors are back in the NBA Finals and their A-list superstars are showing up in some huge ways.
Everyone knows that Stephen Curry is playing like his usual self, Jordan Poole is becoming comfortable on such a big stage, and Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney, and others are also stepping up.
Meanwhile, Draymond Green is doing what he always does: helping his team and upsetting opponents.

Green just surpassed Larry Bird for tenth place on the all-time NBA Finals assist list.
That means that Green now has 188 assists in the Finals, just behind John Havlicek and slightly behind Scottie Pippen.
Will Green surpass anyone else on the list?
That’s possible but it’s also possible that he won’t have much time because these might be his last Finals.
Dray Doing Work
Green has been making his presence known against the Boston Celtics again and again.
With his point total and his assists and his confrontational attitude, everyone knows when Green is on the floor.
No matter how you feel about him, you can’t deny that the Warriors are happy and lucky to have him.
But will they have him much longer?
Green is only 32 years old but will his team be making the Finals again next year or within the next several?
The Western Conference is going to be even tougher next year.
The Los Angeles Clippers will have Kawhi Leonard back and the Denver Nuggets will once again receive Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr.
Those are only a few of the changes that could make the Warriors’ path back to the Finals full of twists and turns.
In other words, enjoy every second of Green in the Finals.
He may not be here again.
