Why Draymond Green’s impact for the Warriors goes much deeper than numbers [San Francisco Chronicle]
Feb. 2 A decade or so from now, if all goes as planned, Warriors forward Draymond Green will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
A highlight video featuring some of his most iconic moments will play on the big screen, but to get at the core of what makes Green great, no clip of him shouting expletives or blocking shots will suffice. What sets Green apart, more than even his leadership and competitive spirit, is his awareness not just of his limitations, but of everything unfolding in front of him.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas’ dynamic guard duo, Chelsea Dungee and Destiny Slocum, both stayed on their respective Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Watch Lists, announced this week. Dungee, who has racked up the national accolades this week, is one of 10 shooting guards remaining on the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award Watch List, while Slocum is one of 10 lead guards still vying for the Nancy Lieberman Award.

Haywood himself, the book details the story of Haywood’s childhood in Mississippi through the present day. Most famously and often featured in the story, Haywood and the Seattle SuperSonics in 1970 sued the NBA for the right to play. At the time, the league required that a player be four years out of high school to be eligible. His case reached the highest level, the United States Supreme Court, before he won and was allowed to take the basketball court with the NBA’s Seattle SuperSonics.
Haywood believes the ruling, which paved the way for future talent to make the leap from high school directly to the NBA, or to the NBA after one year of college, should be known as the Spencer Haywood Rule, hence the books title.
