Draymond Green feeling 'lot of respect' for NBA Finals players sticking to Tokyo commitment

TOKYO -- Devin Booker, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday were scheduled to arrive in Japan on a private G6 jet around 11 p.m. Saturday, less than 24 hours before Team USA opens Olympic play against France in a vital game out of gate.

It's a brutal travel day after an exhausting playoff stretch that will test their mental and physical stamina. It also won the extreme respect of their American teammates.

"I have a lot of respect for those guys for not only committing to do this but actually keeping their word," Team USA forward Draymond Green said.
