Golden State Warriors forward-center Draymond Green is the winner of the 2024-25 NBA Hustle Award. 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.

The Golden State Warriors are attempting to climb back to the top of the NBA standings behind Draymond Green, Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler. Curry and Green have already helped Golden State win four NBA titles during their tenure with the organization, but 2025 gives them another chance to add to their resume.

Draymond Green is not someone whose impact can be understood by merely glancing at his stat line. The four-time champion synchronizes both the offense and defense, exhibiting superb defense and savvy playmaking while he tries to maximize his teammates’ strengths.
