While the contract has been a steal for the Warriors, it was considered risky for Golden State at the time.
Back in the first, Green was whistled striking Iman Shumpert in the face during a jumpball, something he probably should have earned a flagrant foul for anyway.
"Nah, not at all", Green said when asked if he was disappointed about failing to finish off the flawless postseason.
"So we'll see what happens".
"I've won one on the road".
"I thought they called it on Draymond. Got to come out with some fire and try to get it done".
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (23) moves the ball against Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson (6) during second half at Staples Center. Showing that it's more than a game at times, he's taken the league to knew heights, all while proving his individual dominance.
"I'm having a great time right now".
This is the way Green approaches the game. Few could have imagined that the league's best player would leave his hometown team and join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, and the chances of him returning to Cleveland seemed like a near impossibility.
James ended the first quarter with 15 points (7-of-8 FG, 1-of-2 3PT), two assists, one rebound and one steal. "He's a guy that sets the tone for them".
The NBA Finals. Fun for the whole family. "Everybody expects that and hopes for that". For the Cavs, it's Do-or-Die but for the Warriors- it's just Do. Maybe for every Dubs fan who thinks the refs gave the Cavs 22 first-quarter free throws in order to produce a Game 5, there will be a Cavs fan who thinks the refs revised history to avoid ejecting one of the three most important Warriors.
What should I say today? And it irked him thinking "they would have celebrated on our home floor". They won a championship, and previous year it was the greatest regular-season team we had played, probably one of the best postseason teams that everybody's ever seen as well, but we were just able to overcome that.
"If you come into the game chanting my name, you be at home thinking about me".

According to the Sun, May could survive for six months before Conservative party grandees attempt to oust her. Other EU leaders have expressed concerns the failure to win a majority may make negotiations even more hard .
They went on a 10-0 run near the start of the second half, with a Kevin Love 3-pointer giving them a 71-69 lead, their first later after the opening quarter in the series.
Then, after chastising Davis for the technical postgame, he took on the people of Cleveland again.
"I don't pay much attention to anybody in Cleveland, honestly", Green said.
In some ways, Green's postgame banter was a way to deflect from everything that happened in the game itself.
Watching the clip in its entirety, it mostly looks like LeBron is focused and collected, and definitely not about to admit to fatigue or hand out compliments to his opponents just hours before Game 3. Draymond Green needs to play in this Game 5.
Q: When did you become aware that the one that you called on Kerr, which John that was you, had been charged to Green?
LeBron leaving the East is nothing more than a fantasy.
It didn't quite add up then, and it surely doesn't add up now.
James also wouldn't say whether Durant's joining of a Warriors team that was already the best in the National Basketball Association over the previous two seasons was fair, and explained the difference between Golden State's construction as a super team and his joining of both the Miami Heat in 2010 and rejoining the Cavs in 2014.
And nobody knows that better than Green.
"What they say, Draymond did it how many times past year?".
"We were up 3-0". Still he has been veering toward reckless than game-wrecker lately after he returned to Cleveland, the scene of last year's crime. It's a little different.
The detractors say that Green often crosses the line with his play and interviews off-the-court. "Thank God I get to play in Game 5".
