preseason home game, which tips off at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 30

of the Year (DPOY) bobblehead, which commemorates the All-Star forward’s
defensive accolade that he received at the NBA Awards last June. Green, who is
depicted with two Larry O’Brien Championship trophies on the base of the
bobblehead, became the first player in franchise history to earn the Defensive
Player of the Year Award after averaging 10.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.0 assists
and 1.38 blocks in 32.5 minutes over 76 games (all starts) in the 2016-17
regular season, while leading the league with a career-high 2.03 steals. Green
was named to the All-Defensive First Team for a third consecutive campaign,
becoming the first player in Warriors history to earn First Team honors three
times.

Finals Most Valuable Player bobblehead, depicting the All-Star forward holding
both the Bill Russell Finals MVP Trophy and the Larry O’Brien Championship
Trophy. Durant became the third Finals MVP in franchise history (Rick Barry in
1975, Andre Iguodala in 2015) and just the second player in league history to
win the award while averaging at least 35 points (35.2), eight rebounds (8.2)
and five assists (5.4) in The Finals (Michael Jordan in 1993). Durant scored at
least 30 points in all five games of the 2017 NBA Finals en route to earning
Finals MVP honors.
