The Golden State Warriors took Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals thanks in part to a tremendous defensive effort by Andrew Wiggins in shutting down Dallas Mavericks superstar and NBA MVP, Luka Doncic. Dan gives Wiggins kudos but wonders, since Draymond Green is the self-proclaimed, âgreatest defender of all-time,â shouldnât he have been guarding the best player on the Mavs? While Dan agrees Green is on the shortlist, heâs not close to being the best ever.
Dan Patrick: âI know Draymond Green is a decorated defensive player, I think he won the award three times, but when you say youâre the greatest defensive player of all-time and you donât even guard Luka in this series, ehhh, I got some doubts about that. Youâre the greatest defensive player of all-time, âHey Andrew, can you guard Luka?â I have a problem with that. Youâre not the greatest defensive player of all-time.â
