As the Oklahoma City Thunder continue to rack up wins, the compliments keep rolling in amongst their peers.
Following OKC’s thrilling overtime win over the Golden State Warriors, multi-time All-Star forward Draymond Green was once again very complimentary of the core OKC is growing.
“They got a great head of the snake in Shai. He was First Team All-NBA last year for a reason,” Green said following the overtime game. “Chet will possibly be a generational player… Jalen Williams is one of the most impressive players with the ball in the NBA.”

This isn’t the first time Green’s praised the Thunder. In their Nov. 3 matchup, he also spoke highly of Holmgren after their first time playing against each other.
“Chet’s a problem. He can play. He can dribble the ball, he can shoot the ball, has great length, great shot blocker. He’s only gonna get better,” Green said. “For a young guy like that to have the feel that he has, you don’t see many mistakes out of him and I thought that was big. Also, him having last year and being out but yet being able to be around it, it shows. He’s not making the typical mistakes that a rookie would make. The sky’s the limit for Chet.”
Thunder fans might feel animosity toward Green for his on-court antics over the years, but there’s no doubt his compliments toward the Thunder mean something considering how accomplished of a player he is.
