Draymond Green, a veteran forward for the Warriors, has commented on the team's competitiveness and the importance of defense in the MVP race. He suggested that Victor Wembanyama's defensive impact is undervalued in the award given to him. Green argued that the Warriors almost swept OKC in the season and that their dominance over the team was justified. He also mentioned that Wemanyama’s league-leading 3.1 blocks per game should be enough to convince voters. Despite this, Green remained firm and stood firm by the Warriors' standard of competitiveness, despite recent injuries to star player Steph Curry.
