But I thought Draymond Green was a superstar and excels under pressure

I believed it started around a discussion based on how this Warriors team would fare against the '87 Lakers and who would guard a Kareem (who was the ripe age of 39 don't forget) @Consumed and I both believe that Draymond (WITH the help of the team, in similar vein to how Rodman guarded Shaq) could guard Kareem - not shut him down - but guard him. Obviously depending on the lineups, Bogut and Ezeli would be guarding him too.

Most of the Blazers/Rockets series without Curry and him having to emerge into a primary role offensively. What he did was really impressive regardless of opponent and he definitely surprised people with his performances on both ends.

Green has been pretty terrible in this series, but nothing from his season suggests that this is the norm for him against top competition and this should not erase his play in previous series + the entire regular season as if it never happened.
Green has never been good against Durant

Green's been a detriment to the team in this series. OKC is completely in his head.

He generally defends Durant well. He's just a dominant contested jumpshooter, so a hand in his face often might as well not even be there.

Where I think Durant really gives him problems is as a defender. He's a perfect match for him and takes away a lot of what Green does well offensively

Even a 39 year old Kareem, who is coming off a finals mvp, shyts on draymond.

Coming off a finals MVP? Magic won in '87 and they got bounced in the conference finals in '86. Kareem at that stage was no longer a constantly dominant player and couldn't even handle heavy minutes in the playoffs anymore.
