There aren’t many players in the NBA who don’t need to score in order to legitimately dominate. That’s been the story of Draymond Green’s career with the Golden State Warriors, as well as his collegiate career with the Michigan State Spartans.

Despite receiving just six shot attempts, Green had the confidence and maturity to flirt with an elusive quadruple-double.

Green destroyed the Memphis Grizzlies with four points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals, and five blocks. It was the first time in NBA history that a player recorded a triple-double without scoring at least 10 points.

The next time out, Green posted six points, eight rebounds, eight assists, three steals, and a block in a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Green’s numbers don’t always jump off the page, but his near quadruple-double is the perfect display of his versatility. Not only is he one of the best defensive players in the NBA, but his offensive game is remarkably versatile.

If the Warriors are going to realize their potential as the most star-studded team of all-time, it’s going to be Green who’s the glue.
