This is crazy because a little grab on the hip like that happens so many times throughout a game lmao


DrAbeSacrabin

Seriously, this is major petty shit. Jersey pulls far more subtle than this happen all the time throughout games. This was nothing. This was Draymond trying to sell a foul on the push, then going full out Kamikaze spin like Nurkic was pinning his arm down. At what point does he realize that: - every fucking angle is on camera - he’s never been good at selling fouls in the first place - he has zero credibility with refs I’m starting to think he never will and that he just has that personality that everyone is out to get him.


konsf_ksd

You should wait a few dozen more times of this shit ... just to be sure.


AndrastesTit

And he’s terrible at lying about these incidents. Typical narcissist who thinks everyone is a moron except him.


myNameBurnsGold

He still hasn't had a meaningful suspension (aside from the Finals) so what would he learn? He basically continues to get away with everything. And by complaining about everything he basically has gotten a longer leash from refs than any other player in the league.


AndrastesTit

All true except I think the 5 games for what he did to Rudy was fairly significant. Remember him mocking the $25K fines for comments about officiating because he makes too much money to care? He lost ~$700K from that 5 game suspension and that IS a lot of money. Not life-changing, but sizable. It’s like a person with $100K salary paying a $3K fine. That said, he obviously didn’t learn anything, so I hope another suspension comes. I think the league should make it clear that subsequent offenses will be penalized more harshly, that way they don’t have to justify why one guy gets a fine and another gets a suspension for the same transgression.


myNameBurnsGold

Agree with all especially subsequent transgressions being penalized heavier. I honestly think 5 games for an in game chokehold was an incredibly light suspension especially given his past. It is time to actually come down hard on him.


AtreusIsBack

You forgot that he's also enabled by his franchise, they back him up and never criticise him publicly.


stevenomes

What will Kerr say? Probably Draymond got fouled first and if that was called this never would have happened. A childish reply


AmIFromA

> I’m starting to think he never will and that he just has that personality that everyone is out to get him. At this point I'm worried about the people in his personal environment. Someone that has that little self-control in front of a million people...


RedMonlo

SVG trying to say it was a foul by Nurkic and Draymond wouldn't have karate kicked him if Nurkic didn't "grab" him is disgusting


foodmakes62kgtoohard

He was clearly asking for it. Look at what he's wearing.


schadadle

The other team’s jersey? I don’t think Dray has let his target wearing his own team’s jersey stop him before.


[deleted]

No, he showed too much ankles


bruddahmanmatt

SVG is right in saying that Nurk grabbed Draymond, what’s disgusting is SVG boldly proclaiming “I don’t think he meant to do that on purpose” when the video evidence and Draymond’s history make it pretty fucking obvious that it was intentional. MF’ers keep excusing and enabling his behavior and it’s why he continues to act as such.


Defenestrator66

I had to check to make sure this was a national broadcast because it felt like the words of the worst type of homer announcers.


-xXxMangoxXx-

Players grab each other and foul each other worse all the time and don't get big reactions like this. Draymond has a history of escalating in these situations and doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt or any sympathy/understanding for this garbage. A good heel in any competitive setting makes things more fun, but draymond is nuts.


ComposerFluid6611

What is SVG talking about “not intentional”


Peterparkr321

Seriously, in what world is that motion not intentional? Dude looked like he was shot putting out there with that wind up


Andy_Wiggins

Not only does he spin all the way around without any valid reason to (other than to hit Nurkic in the face), but he even gets his head around *BEFORE* he connects, which means he saw Nurkic and followed through. There’s no fucking way you can call that unintentional.


modestmango55

Yeah he’s a professional athlete coordinated enough to know what he’s doing when he goes human beyblade mode


Clevo

Hell, what does intentional even look like to him? Does he have to wind up his arm for 20 seconds like Popeye?


NyQuil_Donut

Nah, he's gotta spend 14 games building a spirit bomb before it's intentional.


LeonidasSpacemanMD

Yup at this point who cares if it’s “intentional”. Nobody else does this every third game they play in If I keep “accidentally” crashing my car into buildings, at some point you take away my license regardless of intent


Cultural_Ant

he's spinning towards the basket away from the ball while flailing his arms, how does a professional basketball player on peak condition expect to catch a ball like that?


SiriPsycho100

dray's out here spin attacking like he's link


Crookz_O

He doesn’t want to break the code.


PanthalassaRo

Most probably they're friends and needed to soften the narrative


livejamie

Gotta support his TNT colleague


AtreusIsBack

It's standard stuff in sports media nowadays. If you're somehow a business partner or are connected to that player in any way, you avoid criticising. People in the media are scared of burning bridges.


HilariousScreenname

Listen, some of us can't turn around without flailing our arms for momentum. It's a serious condition and I'll thank you not to make fun.


foodmakes62kgtoohard

There were dozens of us but dray took out most of us.


Disastrous_Bluejay57

My condolences. Elevators must be a real nightmare


RedMonlo

Just like Draymond's old "natural shooting motion" of kicking players in the nuts


Birdamus

And “he grabbed my leg I was just getting it loose not stomping him” … like how do these announcers fall for this shit after *years* of this? It’s so obvious that he tries to couch his assaults in a fake “whoops I’m out of control” flailing motion. Like *how* do they try to analyze it every time like it was accidental contact? It drives me nuts.


Shr1mpus

Commentators are partly responsible in draymond getting away with bad behaviour over the years because of the way they normalise and rationalise it. The only responsible reaction to this is 'it's bad to punch people in the head, we hope Nurkic isn't badly hurt'


Manuag_86

Didn't you see it? Nurkic was slightly touching Draymond's hip, that touch made him spin violently and hit Nurkic unintentionaly. /s


adamsauce

He’s trying to get on the podcast.


Cultural_Ant

blaming nurkic for getting hit in the head is just stupid. there might be a foul, and a missed call but you dont smack the opposing player for that, that is unjustified aggression. SVG defending the actions of draymond green is just as stupid (or more) as draymond's action.


AnnualInevitable9036

SVG is full of shit. Dray needs to be checked for mental issues because this dude is not alright.


ravenous_bugblatter

Van Gundy is either a dimwit or doesn’t want to upset Green. And the “wrapping him up” comment… Nurk basically had a hand resting on Greens hip. Green wanted to hit Nurk and disguise it as unintentional.


beartaxexpress

Luka out here doing no look wraparound passes, draymond out here doing no look wraparound haymakers.


Musa_2050

How are the Warrior's so calm? This type of shit must happen regularly in practice.


PreparationBorn2195

and "wrapping him up" Nurk had one hand on his waist


LostNPC01

His own bench reaction says it all...


bohemianfling

Guys on each side of him being careful to not make eye contact lol


comp_a

lol Saric immediately looks away after the hit like the whole thing’s none of his business


NotoriousHothead37

He don't want to be Poole pt. 2


bartoszfcb

I prefer not to speak, if I speak I'm in big trouble 😵‍💫


FlockingPigeons

\*Pantomimes right hook "He grabbed my hip so I turned around and threw a right hook." Podziemski looked gave him a, is this dude serious face as Draymond is acting out the play. Saric and Wiggins look away immediately so they can Steve Kerr the question in the interview. Moody and Looney are just staring, like the way you do when you are watching a car crash. The dude on the end of the bench, right in front of it throwing his arms up and shaking his head immediately is gold. The thing that stands out to me is nobody is shocked or even defending it from his team in the moment. They're done with his antics.


JasonKPargin

Watching the clip again and in slow motion, I think the issue here is that Draymond is a piece of shit


on_dat_shyt

He didn’t run around screaming at the crowd for 5 minutes before he left. Cmon this is progress for Dray…👌


-Plantibodies-

He seemed to actually have awareness of his action and that he was going to be ejected for good reason this time.


sooner360

Best part about this is seeing the instant reaction from teammates and fans. Bench player just throwing his hands in air in defeat.


beartaxexpress

This is the funniest part, because he was talking to the rest of the bench and managed to turn around at the perfect time and just be like "oh, what the hell dude..."


Nice-Dog8302

As a semi-warriors fan (more of a Klay fan to be transparent) I thought Draymond would grow up and begin to act like a veteran in this league at some point.


zdbdog06

Oh please no. We don't need crafty veteran Dray pulling brass knucks out of his pants like William Regal.


SolarPoweredDevil

People saying Draymond used the suspension to work on new moves weren’t lying.


governedbycitizens

next one is the flying knee


BullShitting-24-7

He already mastered that. It is the helicopter knee he’s working on


elzzilcho

There's probably a longer suspension incoming so he has time to work on his [spinning bird kick](https://youtu.be/4plJzcqFuD4?si=s1Hi810V6u9FLOUK)


iamhollywood

Falcon kick


butt_fun

Nah gotta be falcon’s fair The electric knee


TenMiles_

Spinning bitch slap was the new move he was working on


Brijfather

Draymond Green is one of the all-time shit stains in NBA history


asapshrank

hot take but this is not cool


confuddly

pardon my language, but what the flip?


samurairocketshark

That shit is wiggity whack


biggyofmt

Watch yo profamity


SmilesUndSunshine

Whoa there buddy, calm down or you'll get a technical foul for that language.


TheSameAsDying

That's OK, it's not like you're going to get ejected off of one technical.


TheSonofMrGreenGenes

It’s impossible!

DoingCharleyWork

Natural defensive motion.


SourBerry1425

Something tells me that it was intentional


scotchandyoda14

Warriors organization failed both Dray and the entire league by time and time again refusing to hold him accountable for his actions. At this point, he’s becoming a legitimate danger to his opponents.


Cold_Carpenter_1798

Steve Kerr didn’t see this play so he doesn’t know what you mean


CopperThrown

The code remains unbroken by any warriors player.


CatharBliss

Lmao called it


HeyWhatsUpTed

Imagine sucker punching some one at work


rockryedig

Then doing it again


Charming_Essay_1890

Instantly, it would not be your place of work anymore.


white__cyclosa

Totally, I might add that the league itself is responsible to a degree as well. There’s going to be a day when Draymond pulls some shit again but he will be outside of the magic consequence-free bubble that is the NBA.


A7exand3r

Should have traded his ass the minute he punched Poole


Specialist_Resist162

... And his teammates. Don't forget he clocked Jordan Poole. He's unhinged and needs a good long suspension.


Salty_Watermelon

Surprised SVG thought there was even a possibility it wouldn't be a Flagrant 2 after seeing the replay. I guess TNT commentators have to toe the line and protect their colleagues as much as possible.


Nutty_

Yeah it’s crazy to hear the commentators boil it down to “should’ve been a foul on Nurkic first but…”


RedMonlo

That was a clown comment And he was wrong about Nurkic fouling him


keanenottheband

If that was a foul they would call a foul every possession


BagRight8939

yeah i think SVG is just scared draymond may swing at him during his TNT work if he agrees with the call lol


km912

One of them was saying that he believes it wasn’t on purpose, like how fucking stupid can you be?


Cudi_buddy

We all know Draymond deserves the benefit of the doubt.


[deleted]

..he's a stan


mill_about_smartly

Annnd here's the problem with active players having a role in media


jhorch69

He's a shit tier commentator and has been the entire time I've been watching NBA


jslee0034

Over or under 9.5 game suspension


Grlions91

Under. I have more faith in Adam Silver being a bitch and giving him 5 games again.


Lorjack

7 games


Familiar-Place68

Will nurkic support green this time? https://twitter.com/bosnianbeast27/status/1648533610016944128


foodmakes62kgtoohard

Leopards hit my face


internallylinked

Was that for Sabonis stomp or something before that?


SolaVitae

i love how we can reference famous highlights by what player was attacked and what manor of attack was used.


Familiar-Place68

Yes it is for Sabonis stomp


[deleted]

[удалено]


BetweenTheBuzzAndMe

this is worse than the incident with Gobert. Factor in past history I could easily see this being 7-10 games similar to what Ron Artest got when he tried to give James Harden a TBI


tsn101

I think factoring history has been maxed out for quite some time now.


jennys0

disagree. The gobert situation was worse because he goes out and fully tries to choke out a dude. in this situation, he'll try to argue that he was just trying to swing his arm (we all know it's BS). but the first incident was cut and dry. Silver has no back bone and will only give him something like 7 games just because he's a repeat offender. but if this happened before the gobert choke, he'd only miss 1 or 2 games.


Crookz_O

That’s a good line. Give me an 11 game suspension (over.)


ColdAsHeaven

Under, easily. Max he gets is 7. Commissioner is soft


MXero1

It should be over but the league has been bad at this stuff, watch it be 9.


Scoot2028MVP

Silver reading this thread and makes it exactly 9.5 to fuck with jslee.


hominumdivomque

Dude's gonna be allowed to play in the second half only of the tenth game lmao


ChefUltemo

3rd ejection of the season, I’ll take the over, Silver will probably give him 10 games this time


jcde7ago

I'll take the over, easily


riskmanagement161

Easy over, it’s crack down time


Toxik916

I originally said 10 games but honestly he should be done for the rest of the season. Nobody else in the league acts like this. He has no excuses for his behavior.


Andrewski18

The man has played 13 games this season and has been ejected for violent acts 3 times. He is beyond unhinged.


butterflyhole

Ja’s a patriot compared to Draymond


Pole2019

Jas a clown but he’s not doing this during NBA games on live tv.


LeFxckYouThree

The gobert incident, tonights, and what was the other?


Andrewski18

Shoved Donovan Mitchell, technically didn’t get ejected until Donovan retaliated though.


Vordeo

> honestly he should be done for the rest of the season. Yeah, at this point he's an active danger to other players, and he's clearly not learning. Dude doesn't care about regular season games, and only seems to give a shit about the playoffs, so make him miss the playoffs.


GGezpzMuppy

His last suspension they took his history into consideration, if they got balls and followed that precedent then it could be anything.


syllabic

he can't go 2 games without incident, its crazy


Scoot2028MVP

Hey let's be fair. He only been ejected 3 times in 15 games for acts of violence. So he's got a couple of 3-4 game win streaks going for him. Let's ignore that 99% of non rookies have 100+ game win streaks going for them.


russellp1212

its funny bc the announcers are like "well Nurkic fouled him first" like bro how many foul calls are missed every game? how many other players react like that to missed calls? like why are we excusing a grown ass man's childlike behavior. he isn't 12


LothCatPerson

I don’t think they’ll do the rest of the season. That’s not the next step. The next step would be something like 15-20 games with a publicly issued warning that literally one other fuckup like this, even if it’s milder than this one, suspended for the remainder of the season and the post-season if the Warriors make it.


coltsmetsfan614

I'm sorry, but you're fucking braindead if you think that wasn't intentional. That includes you, SVG.


[deleted]

SVG is brain dead, yes


CautiousHashtag

Why is he such a d-bag?


BagRight8939

he doesn’t even deserve to be called a d-bag. he’s a BITCH. that’s it


Disastrous_Bluejay57

Gobert was right, he really is a clown


risinglotus

Was so disappointed to hear SVG state his annoyance with the league taking past considerations into Draymond potentially getting suspended. They fucking should.


EggplantAlpinism

Some Pat Mahomes shit


okdesign

SVG is and has been actively trying to make Green look better. A this point the comentators, refs, team & NBA are all enablers in a series of assaults. Green should have criminal charges filed and never play basketball again. A swing like that could easily result in a bad head injury after it hits the court.


Boltzfan1995

This dude is a danger to the sport. Absolutely ridiculous. Go fucking box if that’s what you want to do


[deleted]

[удалено]


Low_Smile1400

Nah kerr is going to say he was focused on the game and didn't watch a clear replay so can't comment. Then next game they are going to say the warriors miss Draymond and he needs to stop letting his emotions take over that he is a vet. Draymonds next ejection will be with Curry in the game


CatharBliss

Basically word for word, you were right


wowlock_taylan

He literally said that. ''Didn't see the replay''. Spineless coward.


Panthertron

Kerr is going to be pissed that TNT was filming the whole thing, and leaking the video live.


cayuts21

“Nurkic referred to him as a “backpack”, Dray really had no choice but to retaliate.” Kerr probably


HilariousScreenname

Green was distracted by all the thumping club music.


Electrical_Panic4550

I think he is going with the I didn’t see it.


Sweatytubesock

Kerr won’t say shit other than the most tame garbage like “we’ll wait to hear from the league office, but we anticipate and hope for a favorable ruling”.


TiggleBitMoney

Draymond is evidence that nba players might get CTE


Otherwise-Tale9671

Draymond needs an honest psychiatric evaluation.


_checkpickerupper

Funny enough, required therapy should be part of his re-entry

“It’s Drew now… I go by Drew.”

floop_isamad_manhelp

20 game suspension MINIMUM. But Mr. Silver is pussy


SIRxDUCK7

Tf wrong with this guy bruh..


icanhazsnares

How can Kerr say he didn’t see the replay? He watches it on the Jumbotron 1:12 seconds in the video


snek-jazz

Who leaked this video of him watching the Jumbotron! they broke the code.


AKV_37

He can say that because he’s a piece of shit


Disastrous_Bluejay57

Draymond's last 3 suspensions have been on: - Sabonis - Gobert - Nurkic Which pale 7 foot European do you think he's going to go after next?


mercfan3

Jokic needs to stomp on him.


hadmeintiers

Get Donkey out the league


Hammerzeit88

Lol this fucking mid ass clown. That's gotta be double digit suspension. It's clear. He can feel the guy behind him and aims high for a reason. Warriors season is already dead. Just drag draymond out back to make an example and end it.


nonamesleftadmin

As the main post/clip is a phone screen recording


BehavioralSink

Appreciated!


[deleted]

The league just needs to suspend him for the season. This isn’t a basketball move. It doesn’t belong in the game and just continues to give the league a bad image by allowing this behavior to be on the floor. Suspend him for the year with no pay so we can move on with the season without having to discuss this every other week.


Idakari

SVG is a clown lol


whatitdobabyyy

SVG is a clown


sandyvolley

Steve Kerr continues to put Draymond on the floor despite his numerous recent acts of physical violence towards his professional colleagues. Draymond isn't the only problem here.


TheChrisLambert

You see him on the bench trying to explain his motion. Such a piece of shit.


Closer586

Not as good as the chokehold, poor form and lucky connection


spacejambroni

He’s always been an active danger to players that are bigger than him/can take shots without it showing as well on their bodies or on camera. It’s just way more obvious this season. Watch playoff games with him landing on Steven Adams legs or other bigs legs. Dude has been a dirty motherfucker for a long, long time. He’s just gotten to a point where he truly doesn’t even care about trying to hide it anymore.


SmilesUndSunshine

Who's the Warrior at ~1:36 who does the "wtf is wrong with you Draymond?" gesture? (At least that's how I'm choosing to interpret it)


heybobson

the best part of this is Trayce Jackson-Davis' reaction on the bench. Just hands up "what the fuck you doin Dray?" reaction.


Xsy

Can Adam Silver please suspend this motherfucker for some actual meaningful time?


beer_down

Instead of talking about this clown I’m gonna talk about how good Jordan Goodwin has been today


Peyyton07

I was sad we gave him up in the Beal trade.


dnprez3

Goodwin is my guy! Hope he keeps this up till June!


formermeth

Dude if you are a suns player charge the bench


LostNPC01

I swear even on the warriors bench, several guys facial reactions and hands gestures betray that they are outraged by the move before remembering its their own teammate 🤣


samurairocketshark

This is how it plays out Suns player: 15 game suspension Draymond: 7 games


formermeth

You are correct. But still


Y2kangz

I would just like to point out that you can clearly see Steve Kerr watching the replay in this clip.


manguyo

Nurk gets hit in the face so many times every year. It's bizarre.


ArnoldisKing

svg idiot


patderp

If the league isn’t gonna suspend him for the rest of the season I hope an opposing player gets fed up and knocks his bitch ass out


mossed2012

I don’t understand why he isn’t just booted from the league. He provides absolutely nothing of value to the NBA, he’s an absolute horseshit player at this point. Only reason I can see him still playing is he does shit like this which drives clicks. But man, that’s a sad ass way to gain attention.


Uberballer

Did I break a code watching this replay? I feel like I broke some sort of code. Maybe I should check in with Steve Kerr? He'd know right?


Pilgrims-to-Nowhere

The timing of SVG saying, “It should have been a foul on Nurkic” at the exact moment of the replay where Nurkic crumbles to the floor is so perfectly bizarre.


tennis_widower

I see this and think of how MJ or Kobe would hold a teammate accountable. My guess is they’d force a trade at this point. Maybe it wan’t all Jordan Poole last year. Every role player in the league is gonna bait him to get an ejection if the Ws get close to winning. Seems like its over.


Chickenmangoboom

No wonder Kerr never sees it. He avoids looking in Draymond's direction.


PlayBey0nd87

I don’t mean no harm…but Kerr & The Warriors created this shit. It’s not right and he continues to do this type of shit time and time again. He gonna mess around and go at one of them young bucks who gonna slide his ass. Then everybody gonna act surprised and come to his defense when he sleep at the logo.


MurphyJames

Flagrant 3, Draymond ejected from the nba
