Draymond Green had a pretty solid game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas Day. The Golden State Warriors beat the Cavs, 99-92, while Green added a triple-double with 12 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.
But two of Green's biggest plays that left NBA fans buzzing were huge defensive plays against LeBron James in the first half and Tristan Thompson in the second.
As Cleveland was getting a little sloppy as the second quarter clock counted down, Kevin Durant first knocked the ball away, but it still found its way into James' hands. He had what seemed like a clear and easy path to the basket, until Green - who was already trolling James with his Arthur-themed shoes - knocked the ball so hard that James fell to the ground.
Then in the fourth quarter, in what seemed like an even more open shot, Thompson drove to the basket but Green - with some help from Durant - soared for a huge block.
There's a reason why Green is the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year, and he backed up his trolling with a strong performance.
