Draymond Green Wins 24-25 NBA Hustle Award

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Fri Apr 25, 2025 6:07 pm

Draymond Green has been named the winner of the 2024-25 NBA Hustle Award. Green finished third in Defensive Player of the Year voting this season as well. Green finished ahead of Cason Wallace and Guerschon Yabusele.

The NBA Hustle Award honors players who make the effort plays that don’t often appear in the traditional box score but impact winning on a nightly basis.

Hustle stats – including deflections, loose balls recovered, charges drawn, screen assists, contested shots and box-outs – have been tracked by the NBA since the 2016 Playoffs and can be viewed on an individual and team level on NBA.com/Stats.

"I know you wanted DPOY Draymond, but here's a consolation prize for you. It's a plastic toy trophy no one has ever heard of, but it's something, right?"

Does this disqualify him from the A-hole of the Year award?

When he retires, they can create the Donkey Award, for the player who carries the most weight on their back.

Co-award with dirtiest player of the decade, the NBA needs to set an example and stop giving him awards.

I don't know about dirtiest player, but he may be the most likely to act out like a toddler when his team is down. The NBA definitely needs to stop rewarding his behavior, even if this award is the NBA equivalent of giving him a lolly! :lol:
