Draymond Green continues to make his mark in the NBA history books.

The Golden State Warriors are currently competing against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the NBA playoffs.

Golden State entered Game 4 of their second-round series against the Timberwolves down 2-1. Though the Warriors earned a victory in Game 1, stealing a game in Minnesota, they suffered back-to-back losses before Game 4.

During Game 4, as the Warriors were looking to bounce back from their series deficit, Golden State announced a historic feat by Green.

Green has passed NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki for the No. 23 spot on the NBA's all-time playoff rebounding list.

"DRAY," posted the official social media account of the Golden State Warriors. "@Money23Green has passed Dirk Nowitzki for 23rd on the #NBAPlayoffs all-time rebounding list!"
