The NBA playoffs are the best battlefield for teams to compete, and who will lead the team to win the supreme NBA championship is the most successful player and team of the season. Most players have never won an NBA championship or even played a Finals, but Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has won three championships, which also gives him enough voice to talk about such a topic, and his throwing out of the "ten-year championship theory" around James is also a hot discussion.
The Warriors have advanced to the Finals five times and won three titles in the last decade, while Los Angeles Lakers star James has won four of his 10 career finals, which seems to make winning the championship seem easy, but Drummond Green said that's not true.
"I appreciate any team that can put together a championship line-up," Drummond-Green told MatchPoints. "I don't care if you draft these players or sign in the free market, it's hard to build a championship squad."
Drummond Green helped the Warriors reach the NBA Finals five times in recent years and won three titles in 2015, 2017 and 2018. In 4 of these five Finals, their opponents were James-led Cavaliers.
"The last decade has been a bit of an anomaly because James changed teams," Drummond-Green said. "But in most eras, there are usually two major teams competing for the title in ten years, and one of them wins more titles. It's a very difficult thing to do, so I'm not going to give a harsh rating to anyone who can build a championship team. Dream Green's remarks triggered heated discussion among netizens, and he also said that he did not know whether he was a senior black James, or praised James wherever he could lead the team to become a championship team.
James has advanced to the Finals 10 times in his career, four of them, and he has advanced to the Finals five times on the Cavaliers, winning only in 2016. James qualified to the Finals four times with the Heat, twice in 2012 and 2013, and once in the Lakers in 2020.
This season's playoffs, it's not like James and the Lakers he leads, but the Warriors' situation looks good. The Warriors are currently leading the Grizzlies 1-0 in the second round, while Drummond Green is expected to lead the Warriors to a championship title this season.
