Video: "What they gonna say now?!" - Draymond Green's response to critics after going hot from 3 in Game 6 as Golden State Warriors win 4th NBA title in 8 years
Draymond Green was the happiest man on Thursday. After having a hostile Boston Celtics fanbase target him repeatedly, Green produced his best game of the NBA Finals in Game 6. His performance helped the Golden State Warriors seal their fourth NBA title in eight years.
While Steph Curry once again led the way with his heroics (34 points on 12-of-21 shooting), Green produced an all-round statline. He recorded 12 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks as the Warriors closed out the Celtics 103-90 in Game 6.

It was Green's best showing of the finals. Not only did he hit double digits in scoring for the first time versus the Celtics, but he also tallied his first double-double of the series (points and rebounds).
Having gone 0-for-11 from downtown through the first five games, Green knocked down two triples in Game 6, while shooting 50.0% (5-for-10). For a player who has been continuously scrutinized, this was the perfect game to silence his detractors.
The champ is here!

"It's gonna be an incredible episode" - Draymond Green on soon-to-be-recorded podcast
Following the championship victory, Draymond Green told reporters that his upcoming podcast episode would indeed be a special one.
"It's gonna be an incredible episode. I told y'all before. Don't let us win. ... Tune in, it's gonna be epic."

"It's gonna be an incredible episode. I told y'all before. Don't let us win. ... Tune in, it's gonna be epic."
With their latest finals win, the Golden State Warriors are the second team in the last 32 years to win four titles in eight NBA seasons. The Chicago Bulls were the first team to achieve this feat when they won six titles between 1991 and 1998.
Green, however, does not believe that this is the end of the road for Golden State. With Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole playing alongside him, Green is confident that the Warriors will continue striving for more championships. He said:
"We're gonna get 'em til the wheels fall off."
