Green finished in front of Oklahoma CIty's Cason Wallace, Philadelphia's Guerschon Yabusele, Oklahoma City's Lu Dort and Atlanta's Dyson Daniels. Former Chicago Bulls guard and current Oklahoma City guard Alex Caruso won the Hustle award last season.

But I was today years old when I found out that the NBA Hustle award was actually a thing and that this wasn't just something that the league was giving Draymond Green so that he wouldn't completely wreck shop for losing the Defensive Player of the Year award to Evan Mobley.

While the veteran forward fell short of that goal Thursday night, finishing behind Dyson Daniels and eventual winner Evan Mobley, he received a nice consolation prize on Friday when he was named the winner of the NBA's Hustle Award for the 2024-25 season.
