Draymond Green Explains Why He Should Be in NBA Hall of Fame

• Draymond Green thinks he'll get into the NBA Hall of Fame, but isn't sure he'll take the typical route
• Green has won four NBA titles with the Warriors and has a solid case for making the Hall of Fame
• The 32-year-old veterans time with the Warriors could be coming to an end soon

Draymond Green's case for the Hall of Fame is solid, but the Golden State Warriors forward is unsure if he will make it with the normal criteria.

The 32-year-old has been an important player for the Warriors dynasty and is expected to make the Hall of Fame along with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala.

Green is a four-time NBA champion, four-time All-Star, a seven-time member of the All-Defensive team and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. These accolades alone should make his case straightforward, per NBC Sports.

Green has been a key cog in the Warriors' system, allowing the likes of Curry and Thompson to carry the scoring burden.

Green Hall of Fame

According to the Athletic, Green said he will make the Hall of Fame, but the route won't be the normal one.

"I hope I’ll — be in the Hall of Fame. But my route won’t be the typical route. You won’t go and look at my stats and say, “This guy’s a surefire Hall of Famer.”

Green added that he still wants to build a solid case for the Hall of Fame.

"My path to the Hall of Fame won’t be the typical path guys take to the Hall of Fame. And I still have work to do and continue to build, but I think I can make a solid case."
