Draymond Green, also known by his handle @money23green, has once again etched his name into the NBA history books. During the Golden State Warriors’ latest playoff outing, the veteran forward moved into 15th place on the all-time playoff assists list, solidifying his legacy as one of the most impactful playmakers the league has ever seen—especially on the biggest stage.
Green passed several legendary names on his way to this milestone, adding yet another accolade to a career defined by winning, unselfishness, and high basketball IQ. While much of the spotlight often shines on Stephen Curry’s shooting brilliance or Klay Thompson’s perimeter dominance, it’s Draymond who has consistently been the glue—the connector between defense and offense, the emotional leader, and the tactical engine that keeps the Warriors’ machine humming.
What makes this achievement even more impressive is how Draymond gets his assists. He’s not your typical high-usage point guard. Instead, Green orchestrates the offense from the top of the key, threading bounce passes through traffic, tossing lobs off pick-and-rolls, and delivering precision backdoor feeds that have become a staple of Golden State’s motion-heavy system. His vision and timing have always been elite, and in the playoffs—when defenses tighten and possessions matter more—his ability to make the right read under pressure stands out even more.
With four NBA championships under his belt and countless deep playoff runs, Green has accumulated his assists in high-stakes environments where every pass could be the difference between a win or a loss. Reaching 15th on the all-time list is not just a reflection of longevity, but of consistent excellence when it matters most.
Some names around him on that list? Legends like Kobe Bryant, Scottie Pippen, and Magic Johnson—all players known not just for their skill, but for their ability to elevate their teams when it counted. That’s the category Draymond now finds himself in. And while his career averages might not scream “superstar” to the casual fan, anyone who’s watched the Warriors’ dynasty knows his value goes far beyond the box score.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has often called Draymond “the smartest player I’ve ever coached,” and milestones like this support that claim. Green’s understanding of angles, timing, and space is unparalleled, and his ability to anticipate the movement of his teammates makes him a rare asset—especially in the chaos of playoff basketball.
As the Warriors continue their 2025 postseason campaign, Green’s leadership and passing ability will remain critical to any success they hope to achieve. Moving into 15th place is a huge moment, but knowing Draymond, he’s not done yet. Every pass, every play, every assist from here on out will continue to shape his Hall of Fame legacy.
So, congrats to @money23green—a true floor general in forward’s clothing—for this incredible accomplishment. Warrior fans, NBA fans, and hoop purists everywhere: take a moment and appreciate the brilliance. Because with Draymond Green, it’s never just about the pass—it’s about making the right play.
