The NBA playoffs are finally here, and we imagine no other team is more excited about that than the Golden State Warriors.
The best team in the West again has wanted one thing since the season began, redemption, and their official road to that redemption started Sunday as they opened the playoffs against the Blazers.
In a frantic third quarter that featured many highlights, one stuck out and surely will be featured on highlight reels all night long.
With only Draymond Green back on defence, the Blazers had a glorious opportunity for an easy basket. Unfortunately, Green is a defensive player of the year candidate for a reason, and he proved that with a ridiculous block to save a bucket.
That's one-on-one, block it or be put on a poster, and there was no way Green was being put on poster.
The block was also very LeBron-like. Obviously it wasn't as iconic as James' rejection in the NBA Finals when he was with the Heat, but it was very similar.
Green's defence is a big reason why the Warriors are such a good team as he can guard every position, and he also contributes on the offensive end of the floor, too.
