Tom Izzo calls Draymond Green "the best winner" he's ever seen

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo praised Draymond Green's ability to alter the outcome of games, describing him as "the best winner" he's ever seen. While Green may not light up the scoreboard, he is known for making winning plays that help his team secure victories. Izzo, who coached Green at Michigan State, recognized the defensive anchor's unique ability to make a difference on the court, saying that Green could score no points and still be happy if his team won. As the Golden State Warriors face off against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 of the second-round NBA playoff series, they will need Green to do what is necessary to extend their playoff run. With Izzo's endorsement, it is clear that Green's mindset and skill set could prove crucial to the Warriors' success.
