Draymond Green on MVP award: 'I believe the voting should have been closer'

- by

Draymond Green: “Jokic won his third MVP in his fourth season, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the runner-up. Was it the right decision? Jokic is undeniably great, but the way Shai finished the season, particularly with the race for the number one seed, was impressive. It seemed to matter when Jokic secured the top seed, but not as much when Shai did. While I’m not saying Shai should have won, I believe the voting should have been closer. Many voters make up their minds too early, which is difficult to change. Shai was a victim of this bias, but he’s been steadily improving and will continue to grow. Congratulations to Jokic—what he does to opposing defenses is extraordinary and unprecedented. He fully deserves the recognition.”

Just finished up a really good interview with Kirk Lacob. Talked all things pre-draft. The Warriors draft process. Who attends most workouts. How they workout certain prospects. The agony over draft misses. The excitement when you get your guy. And an infamous Dray workout story. – 3:00 PM

Draymond Green: “No one expected Jaylen to be this. When he signed his deal, right around four years, $100 million, everybody thought he was overpaid. People asked, ‘Do they think he’s going to be a number one option?’ They thought it was just a favor due to his connections with the Knicks organization. Jalen has made everyone look like idiots.” -via YouTube / May 10, 2024
