Channing Frye reflects on 2016 Cavaliers' strength without Draymond Green

Channing Frye, a former player for the Cleveland Cavaliers, affirmed his belief that the 2016 Cavaliers would have triumphed in the NBA Finals even if Warriors forward Draymond Green had played. Frye discussed the team's confidence during an interview while recalling their comeback from a 3-1 series deficit against the Warriors. He noted that Green's suspension in Game 5 played a critical role in the Cavaliers' winning strategy, allowing star players LeBron James and Kyrie Irving to exploit the Warriors' lack of defensive presence. The Cavaliers went on to claim the championship, marking a historic comeback in NBA Finals history. Frye's reflections come nearly a decade after that pivotal series.
