After the game, Green was asked by reporters to share his reaction to Cleveland Cavaliers star Evan Mobley bagging the Defensive Player of the Year title. Green, who finished third in the final vote behind Mobley and Atlanta Hawks stud Dyson Daniels, made his opinion of the new DPOY crystal clear.

But I was today years old when I found out that the NBA Hustle award was actually a thing and that this wasn't just something that the league was giving Draymond Green so that he wouldn't completely wreck shop for losing the Defensive Player of the Year award to Evan Mobley.

Although he finished third for the Defensive Player of the Year award, Draymond Green will have some new hardware to take home in 2025. On Friday, Green was named the winner of the NBA's Hustle Award.
