  • Draymond Green would pick the GSW over some of the NBA's greatest dynasties
  • He compared the Showtime Lakers dynasty to Shaquille O'Neal and Miami Heat
  • The Golden State Warriors forward said he wouldn't bet against his current team

The Golden State Warriors dynasty will go down as one of the best teams of all time. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have dominated the NBA since 2015.

Their 2022 NBA championship win saw them named one of the best dynasties in NBA history, and Green has said this Warriors team would win against the Lakers and the Miami Heat in big threes.

The Heat big three of LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade won the 2012 and 2013 NBA Finals. They reached the finals for four straight years, before James left for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014.

The Lakers had several dynasties in their illustrious history. The Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant duo were the last team to win a three-peat, doing so from 2000 to 2002.

Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy's partnership saw the Showtime Lakers win five NBA titles between 1980 and 1988, per Bleacher Report.

Green picks his dynasty

Speaking to Bleacher Report's Taylor Rooks, Green said he is not picking any of those franchises over the Warriors. The team went to five consecutive NBA Finals between 2015 and 2019, winning three titles, per Basketball Network.

Kevin Durant was part of the team for three seasons, winning the NBA Finals MVP in 2017 and 2018.

When you get down to it, I ain't picking nobody over us three. None of those guys faced the same challenges we faced."

He said his team would beat the Heat.

"If you look at D-Wade, Bron, and Bosh. I wouldn't necessarily pick them over us. Bosh is 6 foot 11, LeBron is 6 foot 9, D-Wade is 6 foot 4."

It is safe to say the Warriors have dominated the NBA since 2015. It remains to be seen if there is another title in them, to truly cement a status as arguably having one of the best runs in the association's history.

Green may leave the Warriors

Sports Brief earlier reported on Green hinting that his time with the Warriors may be coming to an end, as he eyes likely the last major contract of his career.

He has a player option for the 2023/24 season worth $27.5-million to remain at Chase Center, but could decline that option and become an unrestricted free agent.

Green will be 33 years old before the current season ends, and it remains to be seen if he looks for a deal elsewhere or continues with his current side.
