Warriors' Draymond Green on Steph Curry in Game 7: 'Rare Players Do Rare Things'

Draymond Green never ceases to be amazed by the things Stephen Curry is capable of on a basketball court.

And after the superstar guard's 50-point outburst against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday—the most ever in a Game 7—Green could only enjoy being along for the ride and admire his longtime teammate's greatness

"When you have rare situations, rare players do rare things. Stephen Curry was that tonight," Green said in his postgame press conference.

In addition to the 50 points, Curry also had eight rebounds, six assists and a steal in one of the best postseason performances of his illustrious career.

Curry's performance helped secure the Warriors a spot in the second round of the playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers and a familiar foe in LeBron James.

The series against the Lakers is sure to be the most anticipated matchup of the entire second round, especially considering the history between Curry and James over the past decade.

The two met in the NBA Finals for four consecutive seasons from 2015 to 2018 while James was with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Curry has the 3-1 advantage on James in the head-to-head matchup.

Even though it hasn't been that long, Curry is a very different player than the one who played in those historic Finals series. He may be playing the best basketball of his career at the moment, which is saying a lot since he won back-to-back MVPs earlier in his career.

He is averaging 33.7 points per game to go along with 4.9 assists and 4.9 rebounds on 48.8 percent shooting from the field in the postseason so far.

Game 1 between the Lakers and Warriors is set for Tuesday night at 10 p.m. ET.
