Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green has 19 assists, called 'a master' of passing by Stephen Curry
SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry paid Draymond Green the ultimate compliment after watching the forward tie a career high with 19 assists in Friday's 118-97 win over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, calling him the "smartest basketball player I've played with."
"When he gets in a groove like that where he's getting everybody involved, and having a Draymond-type night where scoring's not really the difference-maker, it's the way that he does the intangibles," Curry said. "And then makes everybody better by getting the ball on time, can finish off plays. He's the smartest basketball player I've played with, and it shows in moments and games like tonight where he just finds a way to impact winning in his own way."
On a night in which Chase Center hosted fans for the first time in more than a year, Curry and Green led the way as they have so many times through the years. Curry scored 32 points, and Green added 12 rebounds to his career-best assist total.
Green, who scored just two points on 1-of-3 shooting from the field, said he believes that passers can get into the same kind of zone that Curry and other great shooters can.
"Absolutely," Green said. "You definitely can find that zone and feel like you can make any pass. Some of those crazy-ass passes you see me make, it's like a heat check. You see a guy coming down from 35 feet and heat-checking that thing -- I feel like that with my passes sometimes.
"I'm trying to heat check that thing and see if I can get it through a tight gap, but it's fun. But when you've got guys hitting shots at that rate that guys were hitting shots today -- timely cuts, backdoor cuts, making all the right reads and taking what the defense is giving them."
Curry, who has heat-checked plenty of shots during his career, agreed with Green's assessment.
"The same way you feel like the game slows down and the rim looks huge," Curry said, "Same way I guess if you're at the top of the key or you're making those decisions with the ball in your hands and you get somebody open. On-time and on-target passes, you kind of just seeing everything a little bit better, a little bit quicker. Execute the angle of the pass, speed of the pass, timing of the pass, whatever it is -- he's a master at it."
Aside from Curry and Green's play, the Warriors received an added jolt by having almost 2,000 fans cheering them on. Fans chanted "MVP! MVP!" for Curry throughout the night, and a couple of hundred waited in their seats after the game to give both players another ovation as they finished their respective postgame interviews and made their way off the floor.
"It was really nice for sure," Curry said. "Considering what we've all been through the last 409 days. That was awesome. Even pulling up, driving around the arena when I got here three hours early, you see all the ushers outside waiting to get in, understanding that they're excited to get back to work.
"Just a little bit different of a buzz inside and outside the arena. I know you got to take it slow and obviously keep everybody safe but ramp up how many people can get in the building and slowly but surely get back to a full, packed house where that energy is second to none. Us on the floor, we live off of that. You try to bring it when it's an empty arena. You do your best, but it makes such a difference with fans."

Houston Rockets CEO Tad Brown to resign after season
Apr 23, 2021
"It's time to move on, and it's time to take on other adventures that we're looking forward to," said Brown, who joined the Rockets organization as a vice president of corporate development in 2002 and was promoted to CEO in 2006. "It's been the greatest honor of my professional life to lead this organization. It's been the ride of a lifetime."
Brown's resignation continues a dramatic overhaul for the franchise since the end of last season. His departure comes on the heels of the exits of head coach Mike D'Antoni and general manager Daryl Morey and the trade of franchise cornerstone James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets.
The Rockets are in the beginning stages of a rebuilding period, having been officially eliminated from playoff contention this week, ending an eight-year postseason run that was the longest active streak in the NBA.
"It was a really challenging fall," Brown said, acknowledging that the circumstances somewhat influenced his decision. "The people who left meant a lot to me."
Brown played a key role in orchestrating Tilman Fertitta's purchase of the Rockets from former owner Leslie Alexander for a record $2.2 billion in September 2017.
"On behalf of the entire Rockets organization and my family, I want to thank Tad for his stellar and tireless service to the Houston Rockets franchise," Fertitta said in a statement. "I could not have asked for a better leader to work with since becoming owner.
"Tad has played an integral role in the success of our franchise both on and off the court. I have known Tad since his arrival in Houston 19 years ago and want to sincerely thank him for his friendship and for building a tremendous organization throughout the Rockets and Toyota Center."

To frame it, bulls fought back from being down 20+
He's garbage tho
Anthony Davis saved his career and legacy is the real reason the Lakers are contenders. LeBron isnt a leader like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or Steph Curry. He doesnt have an impact on the game of basketball the way they do.
Thats very high praise because they have had alot of great players. Wonder if BGOL will call her a "Bronsexual"?
Sound like a MVP to me.. But what do i know. Im just a old hater.
Jeanie need to stop thinking with her pussy. Putting Phil on that list over Jerry West is criminal. Love how she shit on Shaq tho.Thats very high praise because they have had alot of great players. Wonder if BGOL will call her a "Bronsexual"?
19 assist performance that isnt acknowledged or celebrated by any "Dubs fans". Dray has led them in assists every year since 2015 and has set records for trip dubs and single game assist. But in the LeBron era, the pressure to hide superstar's flaws and weaknesses to make them seem parallel to him is so great his accolades are hidden so his teammates can shine. Im glad he got with Klutch and got his bread. Draymond is an absolute victim of NBA colorism as well. If he were light skinned he would be marketed along with his Splash Brothers putting up all these trip dubs and winning DPOY.
Wait, so top 2 PG of all time Steph Curry hasnt led his time in assists in 6 years? Interesting.
wow...
Which name(s) do you take issue with brother?
no jerry west
He doesn't need to. His presence on the floor alone opens up easy wide open opportunities to score that count better than actual assists. What he does is more advanced than what a Magic, a Chris Paul, or a Stockton do.
Fuck being out two months, huh
Jerry is on the outs with the family
It's pretty deep also
a lot of it stems from Phil/Jeanie
Mam that's when the First Union Center was bumpin'.
Fuckin hate these I need a night off ass niggas now. Soft faggots. 
Fizdale a shitty coach..look at the knicks now
No big O, No Logo? Phil punk ass got to go.
Orlando Woolridge? WTF?
They advertise him as top 5. He fucking stinks. KD was out two fucking years and came back killing. Miss me wit the two month shit. We are 8 years in now, Its time to admit AD hasnt lived up to the hype. Too passive, too soft, doesnt win enough when healthy, too inconsistent. He should never be mentioned in a top 5 discussion ever again. And considering he has already peaked he probably shouldnt be mentioned in top 10 conversations going forward.
So who are the 10 better players than AD? Im curious to see who u list...
I can’t say that you’re wrong. Him on a team alone that team’s not doing much and not winning shit.
Yes every player needs help but...
