Green spoke with NBC Sports and laid out what he wants to achieve this season, β€œI want to be Defensive Player of the Year again and I want to be an All-Star again. That is motivating me. A lot of people have counted me out β€” the same mistake people made before (2012), when I first came into the league. But a lot of people doubted me, and doubted me again, and that’s fuel to the fire.”
