NBA legend Magic Johnson insists that Golden State Warriors small forward Draymond Green is one of the top five all-around players featuring in the league at the moment.

NBA legend Magic Johnson has suggested that Golden State Warriors small forward Draymond Green is one of the top five all-around players in the NBA at the moment.

Los Angeles Lakers' legend Johnson has moved to praise the youngster, who played at the same college as the five-time champion, following his part in Golden State's memorable 4-2 comeback win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.

"Draymond has shown and proven to everybody he's one of the top five all-around players in the NBA right now," Johnson told radio show The Drive with Jack.

"Draymond and I are the only two players ever to have a triple-double in the NCAA tournament and now in the NBA Finals."

Green came runner-up in both the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year Award and the Most Improved Player Award last season.
