Likewise, the battle had intensity, and the King and Draymond got chippy at times. However, over the years these two have grown into really close friends. The rivalry likely brought out immense respect for each other.

James said: “They didn’t believe in us. But I did.”

Both LeBron and Green came from various struggles on their way to the top. LeBron James grew up without a father and had to watch his mom struggle for years. Hence, his powerful belief in the sport led him to stardom from the get-go. He dominated high school like arguably no athlete ever had, and that soon transcended to the NBA. Since then, the Akron Hammer has a long list of accolades and has turned himself into a billionaire.

For Draymond Green, he was never a high-ranked prospect. Even coming out of college, the four-time champ didn’t have his name on anyone’s mouths. Falling to the second round, Green has become the most critical piece for the Golden State Warriors. One of the best leaders on the court, Draymond’s value is irreplaceable. The former DPOY led the Warriors dynasty and they won their fourth title in the last eight seasons.

Nothing would likely have been possible without the power of belief. In addition, keeping out the hate and embracing the love around is why LeBron James and Draymond are both still on the top. And this message goes to show that haters have nothing on them.
