NBA Finals 2016: 5 things we learned from Cleveland's win

Cleveland Cavaliers
History was made by the Cavs

2) Draymond is the real ‘captain’ of these Warriors

Draymond Green
Green was one of the best players for the Warriors

The party starts when Draymond arrives. He is this team’s core, their outspoken leader, who wouldn’t think twice before getting his hands (or legs!) dirty.

He was the only player on the home floor in Game 7 who played with the intensity deserving of a warrior, a defending champion, and a starter on the team that set a regular season record with 73-wins.

Green’s one-game suspension not only led to a loss on their home floor, it gave belief to the Cavs, the belief that eventually caused one of the greatest upsets in Finals history (after being down 3-1 at one point).
