The Draymond Green that I predicted would help bring Golden State an NBA championship, finally showed up. Green had his best game — dropping 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3PT, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds and six assist to help the Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 103-82 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals to the tie the series up 2-2.
Afterwards, At the game’s postgame press conference, Green stopped what he was doing to shout out “a legend” in the crowd.
“I see you,” exclaimed Green pointing and with a big grin on his face. “Living legend!”
Green was addressing the man formerly known as Ron Artest.

World Peace is someone Green mirrored his defensive game after, so the shout out was definitely on point.
