“We’re going to continue to take this city to new heights, and this is just the beginning. Everybody, please stay on board. There will be some hard times, it will not all be easy. We’re gonna continue to push the city to where it needs to be.”

Green is putting up a solid season for the Warriors. The 35-year-old forward is putting up 9.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.0 blocks a game.
