Green joined Evan Mobley, Dyson Daniels, Lu Dort and San Leandro native Amen Thompson on the all-defense team. Green previously came in third in Defensive Player of the Year voting in April behind Mobley, the winner, and Daniels.

He's not. Nobody is. Curry gave Thompson, who is already probably the best defender in the league not named Victor Wembanyama, a quick reality check with 31 points on 12-of-19 shooting in Game 1. He had 36 in Game 3 with Houston's entire defense chasing him in the absence of Jimmy Butler .

Dyson Daniels, Draymond Green, Amen Thompson, Luguentz Dort and Evan Mobley were named to the NBA's All-Defensive First Team on Thursday, the league announced. It's the ninth time in Green's career that he's received the honor.
