Draymond Green and Neymar didn’t meet for the first time, as they are close friends. He said:

 

“I met Neymar about two or three years ago. I was playing with the Warriors and Leandro Barbosa, who is also from Brazil. He came out to a game and we met him and we’ve been good [friends] ever since. We keep in touch, he’s a really good friend and a great person to be around.”

Having won two NBA championships, Green knows what it takes to win and he sees the same qualities in the FC Barcelona squad. Green said:

“I think they are one of the greatest teams in the world, some of the best guys in the world. So it’s always fun to watch. One thing I notice is that the intensity level in every game that Barcelona are involved in is incredible. It’s always fun to watch.”
