5. Draymond Green Redeemed Himself With A Game For The Ages

Draymond Green was arguably considered the Warriors’ best all-around player through the first four games of the series.

Unfortunately, Green was suspended for Game 5, and despite his 8-10-6 stat line in Game 6, he didn’t have the same impact as he did during the earlier games of this championship series.

In Game 7, however, Green redeemed himself to say the least. As was the case in Game 2, the Cavaliers dared Green to beat them from long range.

In that contest, Green scored 28 points and knocked down five of his eight attempts from three-point range. It was more of the same this time around, as the do-it-all forward scored 32 points on 11-for-15 shooting, including 6-for-8 from distance.

He also grabbed 15 boards, handed out nine assists and had two steals.

Green did all that you can want in a winner-take-all contest, but even his best performance of these Finals was not enough to help the Warriors cap off what will be highly regarded as one of the greatest seasons in history.

Next: No. 4
