Draymond Green on winning a championship: 'It's better than sex'

Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green is the heart, soul and voice of a basketball team that could easily go down as the best the NBA's ever seen.

On the court, he's incredibly unique: a beefy, 6'8" bully with long arms and a ballerina's footwork. Green can defend all five positions -- in space and in the paint -- rebound, shoot, dribble and pass.

Off the court, there's nobody like him. He speaks his mind, and just might be the most confident human being on the planet. He's also hilarious:

Sometimes Green's emotions get the best of him, like on Saturday night, when he went on a profanity-laced tirade during halftime in a tight game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. But, for the most part, his energy, enthusiasm and unparalleled self-confidence are hugely positive, and the Warriors wouldn't be where they are without him.

Green is averaging 13.8 points, 9.7 boards and 7.4 assists per game. He's nearly making 40 percent of his threes and the 53-5 Warriors get outscored by 6.4 points per 100 possessions when he's not on the floor.

All of this is incredible. But ultimately, Green's all-around influence is unquantifiable. Whenever he opens his mouth, it's always worth hearing what comes out.
