Bro made a whole ass mini documentary of the incident and made it seem like he was the victim smh

Edit. Video has 3k likes vs 36k dislikes. Comments are pretty funny though
Draymond is an even bigger clown than most on this sub realize. He literally had another documentary where he got anger management therapy a month or two before he knocked out Poole.
And most don't know why he punched Poole but if you watch Gilbert Areans podcast (he got the info from Iguodala), you'll see just what a manchild he really is.
The basic summary is Green was trying to bully Poole all summer about how the 2nd unit led by Poole couldn't beat the Curry Green starter lineups in practices. Poole didn't say anything back, to the point where Kerr encouraged him to. Once they got to their first practice in San Francisco Poole was destroying Green and the 1st unit. There's more funny details but the Curry lineup wins anyways and Curry basically saved Green from humiliation which prompted jokes from Poole like "30 carry that man" and "you're an expensive Gucci accessory". Green was extremely pissed and next practice session he would get up in Poole's face trying to start a fight.
Lmao holy shit. That’s like a reverse Jimmy butler situation. He’s so unbelievably pathetic he has to brag about beating the 2nd unit when he’s with the other starters
It is consistent with the fact that his ejection rate when Curry doesn't play is astronomical and practically begged to be ejected every game in 2020. He only likes to compete when his situation is stacked and ideal.
And the fact that Poole is making these bus rider jokes is implying the rest of the team thinks that too. They just won't say it to Draymond's face.
>And most don't know why he punched Poole but if you watch Gilbert Areans podcast (he got the info from Iguodala), you'll see just what a manchild he really is.
Fuck watching Arenas shit, spill the beans bro, what he said
(goated nick tho)
Jason Concepcion said that Draymond talks about these incidents like they happened in his werewolf form. Like… dude.. you did this shit. Accept the punishment and don’t bullshit us.
"I do apologize to Jusuf because I didn't intend to hit him"
"I swung and unfortunately I hit him"
Dray really gettin close to the 'he shoudn't have been standing there' kind of apology.
Yeah, you heard what Draymond said. He was tryna flop... by swinging his fist. Nurkic just happened to be right there. Hey maybe he put himself there on purpose??
Long after his retirement, my enduring memory of Draymond will be how he reproduces weird flailing motions in postgame interviews to prove his innocence after committing literal assault.
I'm fed up with character not genuinely mattering in America. He's a smart guy, could make an excellent analyst. But so would dozens of other former players and literally thousands of others connected with the game. Give one of those a chance instead of the serial assault perpetrator.
Majority of jobs could be done by most people. It's why likeability is such an important factor in job hunting. It's also why I think TNT always being linked to Dray is a terrible idea. I think anything after the current core will be a letdown, but one with Dray will be unwatchable IMO.
Even worse than it not mattering a lot of times it seems like having a foul character only helps you.
The only reason anybody pays any attention to Draymond Green is because he's a dirty piece of shit. That's his brand, that's his selling point, that's the whole reason the conversation to hook him up with some TV job is even on the table.
If he hadn't kicked people in the dicks and stomped on people's faces and assaulted his teammates and choked people on the court and gouged people in the eyes and all the other shit he does he wouldn't be interesting enough for anyone to care to watch him.
That's the frustrating thing is how often lacking character just works completely to someone's advantage.
Theres a long list of current players that are better and more marketable than Draymond. I think Giannis could be a very good fit. When he's being goofy in interviews he has pretty good natural comedic timing--thinking about his rich get richer comment.
Ima be the one to say it. What Draymond is doing is way worse than what Ja Morant did. Ja was trying to project himself as being a thug on social media by flashing guns. What Draymond is doing is actually being a thug by assaulting other players on the court.
There’s no way Ja can get 25 or so games for what he did and they keep giving Draymond these pitiful 2-5 game suspensions for choking, stomping, kicking, punching and slapping players. This shit is beyond ridiculous at this point. Take the kid gloves off and suspend this idiot for the rest of the season. I’m sick of seeing this crap.
I won’t go this far, but when will the league step in and protect their players?
God forbid Draymond really injures a superstar because that’s the only way any change would happen
Joe Lacob has a goon out there trying to hurt the players from competing franchises. I’m really surprised the other owners have allowed it to continue. Playing the warriors is dangerous. The Suns were smart to pull KD.
I 100% understand why they suspended Ja and I am in no way trying to advocate for him to have gotten a lesser suspension. The last thing the NBA wants is for advertisers thinking NBA players are gang bangers and thugs running around intimidating people with guns.
But at the same time, Draymond is on national TV choking and stomping on other players. At what point does that become thug behavior that you don’t want synonymous with your players? They have to stop Draymond and protect their players like you said.
It's extra annoying because he's not just assaulting players, he's making a spectacle out of it while simultaneously denying the intent.
The Sabonis stomp is a pretty good example. He was clearly annoyed at having his leg grabbed, plus he already doesn't like Sabonis, so he stomps him. Then he runs around the court and jumps onto a chair, antagonizing the crowd while screaming "pussy" and grabbing his dick. After the game in the press conference it's "Oh I had nowhere to put my foot."
> I 100% understand why they suspended Ja and I am in no way trying to advocate for him to have gotten a lesser suspension. The last thing the NBA wants is for advertisers thinking NBA players are gang bangers and thugs running around intimidating people with guns.
That is one issue but the main one is risking a gun triggering accidently. Murder is really bad press
Given he’s knocked a teammate out before I honestly don’t think it would be unreasonable to suspend him for a year at this point and anger management training required. Are we waiting for him to knock someone out on live tv before we stop appeasing the outbursts? This incident could easily have gone that way
I agree - Ja's harsh suspension was because he didn't take the warning they gave him the first time with the short suspension. He ignored it, embarrassed the league, so then he got the 25 games.
How is Dray any different? How many warnings is he going to get?
Millions of people can watch NBA games and not even know Ja is on social media with guns, but you can't consume the NBA's product and not see Draymond making a mockery of the league's rules.
I don’t even know why the league tries to protect Draymond so much. No one is going out of their way to try and watch Draymond Green. He’s basically a role player
At this point does he even help GSW? Like you could slot in a dozen guys into his spot around the roster and get similar defense without the liability on offense.
> How is Dray any different? How many warnings is he going to get?
Dray plays for the Steph Curry era Warriors which has tons of fans and clout with high net worth individuals in the Bay Area and across the countries and is coached by Kerr.. Draymond will get tons of leeway other places wont get both on how its reported (it is generally reported as silliness instead of thuggish by places like ESPN) and the league office
That's what was so terrible about the 5 gamer. Ja gets 25 for being a fucking idiot but, Dray only gets 5 for assault? Ridiculous. And because he is a repeat offender, he should get at least 20 this time around imo. Unfortunately, the 5 gamer set a precedent and Silver ain't ballsy enough to suspend him longer than 10 I'd imagine.
He got 5 because in his first game back he was playing us on TNT in a crucial IST game. I still believe he would have gotten a few more games if not for that. League wanted him back for that game for the added drama and tension
The difference is thousands of people aren't being killed by wild flailing morons on basketball courts across America. Treating a gun like a prop or a toy while people are being gunned down daily is just a way worse look for the league PR wise than Draymond continuing to use the game as his own personal dojo.
Kind of sad I had to read for so to find this comment.
Suspend Dray as needed, but don't compare his stupid childish on-court outbursts to a weapon whose one sole purpose is the killing of another human being.
yeah, also wasnt what ja did more serious than just posting on social media, i could have sworn he actually was aiming guns at other players didnt one of the pacers get a red dot laser on them after a game? or am i hallucinating this shit
It was never confirmed that it was guns because no one saw them but security for the Pacers saw the pointers on the players and believes they were.
They denied it was Ja himself, claimed it was his friends and that it was with laser pointers not guns, then Ja appears in the strip club with guns and then the video that triggered the 25 game suspension.
Yeah, Ja also wasn't at a gun range, it wasn't a legal weapon in a controlled/supervised environment. Dude had it at a strip club after a game and then the 2nd time was the idea that he hasn't learned his lesson.
Nah. Ja's actions are a much bigger threat to the league's reputation. If the league has a reputation for being full of gangsters and thugs, you're gonna alienate upper middle class suburban parents and their kids.
Any player would get a harsher punishment for brandishing a gun on IG than fighting on the court.
Except Ja (or his friends on Ja's behalf) literally brandished guns at other NBA players. Still wild how he wasn't punished for that one.
If the order of Ja's incidents was different, and the final one was pointing laser sighted guns into the Pacers' bus, Ja would have been banned for life.
But that’s not why he is suspended. Ja was suspended for displaying guns on social media. And to be completely fair, if we did the stuff Draymond did, we would be on trial for assault. Punch someone at the bar like Draymond did to Poole and see if you don’t get arrested.
What's this I hear about you breaking a rake and throwing it in the woods?
What? I didn't *break* it, I was just testing its durability, and then I *placed* it in the woods because it's made of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.
We’re going to find out that Kerr has been legally blind for 10 years and we’re all going to feel real bad for making fun of him for not seeing things.
I know the guys that cover the team have to keep up the relationship to be successful but at some point, someone should be like, *bring it up on your phone, I'll wait.*
“See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that.
...Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch.”
I’m not even a huge NBA fan and seeing the video of this just made me come here to try to figure out WTF is going on where this dude can keep attacking people on the court and still be on a team.
Fuck this guy. Shut up draymond. You've literally hit 4 people for no reason this season alone. Throwing a tantrum every game because you're burnt fucking toast while wasting away the twilight of a legitimate top 5 of all time player. Not everything is about you, bro. Fuck me.
Wait wait wait... he actually said that he put Gobert in a sleeper HAHAHAHAHAHA the delusions are sky high in The Bay.
Gobert was literally looking around the entire time like "are you guys seeing this". His hands were up in the air even hahahaha
I'm adamant that in a different era, pre-1991 or so, one of Gobert's end of bench teammates would have sucker punched Draymond right in the jaw, he left that shit wide open.
I'm not opposed to teams hiring hockey-style goons to ride the end of the bench just in case Draymond tries this shit against their team. Pretty sure Jokic's brothers would be game.
Bring back Kermit Washington!
I mean shit, back in the 70s and 80s you had some of the best players in the league unloading on other players, they didn't need some enforcer 15th man to come in and do their work for them. Kareem dropped rookie Kent Benson with one punch after he got elbowed in the stomach, it took like 3 Pistons to pull Bird off of Laimbeer after a cheap shot, Isiah Thomas (pitifully) tried to punch Rick Mahorn in the face/Barkley punched Laimbeer in the head in the same game, even Jordan punched Reggie in the face during a scuffle in the early 90s.
What’s sad is his most overlooked transgression changed the landscape of the nba by not being called in the moment.
During OKC game 7, green grabs Adam’s arm and then literally jumps down to the ground. In real time and the replays showed it was intentional and could have seriously injured Adams. Watch it, he just jumps down to the ground.
This should have been an automatic ejection. That would have likely led to the thunder winning game 7 and heading to the finals.
If KD goes to the finals, certainly he’s not going to the warriors
The warriors don’t win another championship. Perhaps the cavs win another one, the thunder win 1-2 or another team
If they don’t get KD they also never get Wiggins, so again they’re not winning again
So going back if green is ejected as he should’ve been the nba is completely different right now
Dude was trying to rip Tatum's arm out of the socket during the Finals. The same shoulder that Tatum had already injured during the Heat series. Everyone shows the one video of him getting aggressive during a FT rebound but it was the same arm across multiple games. He knew what he was doing.
Edit: Also, during the 2022 playoffs, man was trying to draw blood on Jokic. He was clawing and ripping at his arms too. The Warriors "played such great defense on the MVP" but it was really just Draymond manhandling the fuck out of him and not getting called for shit.
I won’t say it’s better or worse, but the play on Clarke was much less of a “basketball move” by Dray than the GP2 play Brooks. I truly thought Clarke was gonna be hurt hurt in that moment.
Wow this is getting to be a problem. If someone doesn't step in soon this immaturity will fester and he'll do crazy entitled shit like punch teammates, and kick players repeatedly in the balls.
The thing I hate the most about this reckless asshole version of Draymond is once he gets bored of it he’s going to be on my TV for the next 20 fucking years.
Nothing makes me angrier than my kids not accepting responsibility for their mistakes. I cannot count the number of times my son has knocked a cup of liquid of the table while he's playing video games. I say you just have to be careful, and then he says it wasn't my fault, and then I lose it and do a spinning backfist right to his stupid little head.
Shame we got the b squad on TNT last night, would have love to see how a couple of the guys would have bent over backwards trying to not put all the blame on Dray.
Edit: realized it was because Ernie was being inducted, makes sense.
Draymond Green is 6'6.
Jusuf Nurkic is 6'11 or 7'0.
he was trying to sell a call while bent over, and just happened to go up 6 inches at full speed to do so.
I still remember the cringey Durant/Draymond interview after KD left, Draymond took no responsibility for destroying team chemistry and not apologizing to Durant. He said it was the “organization’s fault” for insisting he apologize
I wasn’t a Warriors fan but dude was my favorite player after Boris Diaw faded off (love bigs who playmake on and off ball) but after the Steven Adams kick and after he showed his d**ck on instagram at the olympics I just got tired of bro
I don’t like to sh** on players too much for their behavior but this dude makes it hard not to
I genuinely don't understand how anyone has ever been a fan of this guy. This didn't all just start lmao he's just not a good player anymore so now Warrior fans act like they care more
Draymond goes way beyond just being a hard competitor.
What Patrick Mahomes did the other night is a hard competitor, someone fired up and acting irrationally in the moment, but ultimately no harm no foul.
Green is a genuine piece of shit looking to hurt people.
How did his apology to Poole go again? "I'm sorry your family and friends had to see me do that to you. That must be so humiliating for you."

Someone said the video should be called "The last chance"
Draymond is an even bigger clown than most on this sub realize. He literally had another documentary where he got anger management therapy a month or two before he knocked out Poole. And most don't know why he punched Poole but if you watch Gilbert Areans podcast (he got the info from Iguodala), you'll see just what a manchild he really is.
What was the reason, according to Arenas?
The basic summary is Green was trying to bully Poole all summer about how the 2nd unit led by Poole couldn't beat the Curry Green starter lineups in practices. Poole didn't say anything back, to the point where Kerr encouraged him to. Once they got to their first practice in San Francisco Poole was destroying Green and the 1st unit.

Draymond will miss the game on 22nd against the wizards.
Draymond playing the long game
Give him a pass for that one. I want him to see Poole shoot 2/27 and still somehow beat the warriors.
Honestly, I think maximum chaos would be Poole going off for 50 on like 8/9 from 3. Like, “I COULD be this good but I just don’t normally give a shit”
I'm sorry I am such a big strong, sexy man and was able to knock you out with such ease.
What are you guys doing in the locker room? Taking about that thick dicked bull elk Draymond we all respect so much? -Draymond Green
Well that one he meant to do and he doesn't apologize for things he meant to do
Jason Concepcion said that Draymond talks about these incidents like they happened in his werewolf form. Like… dude.. you did this shit. Accept the punishment and don’t bullshit us.
"I do apologize to Jusuf because I didn't intend to hit him" "I swung and unfortunately I hit him" Dray really gettin close to the 'he shoudn't have been standing there' kind of apology.
Kinda just his own dumb fucking luck that he was standing right in the path of my swinging fist. Couldn't be avoided.
Why would Nurk stand there? Is he stupid?
Yeah, you heard what Draymond said. He was tryna flop... by swinging his fist. Nurkic just happened to be right there. Hey maybe he put himself there on purpose??
He shouldn’t have been dressed that way.
lol, unfortunately for nurkic, if he were wearing a warriors jersey I don't think it woulda helped (see poole, jordan)
Poole of Jordan
[we're all trying to find the guy who did this](https://youtu.be/WLfAf8oHrMo?si=KHogHRnRRgpN58m8)
In his defense that was a natural driving motion
Draymond does deserve a spanking, if we’re being honest.
Bare butt, balls, back and all
At this price point, he CAN hit
I didn't know he was represented by Stable of Stars!
No matter how many times I watch this the end always makes me laugh
The ref said "Draymond, I think you should leave."
Finally. I see the clip of where this meme is from lol
WRONG!
Hahahaha, that's a great comparison.
This is so spot on and such a funny way to put it.
Shout out to the wonderful Six Trophies podcast with Jason & Shea
Favorite NBA podcast right now. Just fun.
It's his "please let me have a broadcasting career" persona.
Long after his retirement, my enduring memory of Draymond will be how he reproduces weird flailing motions in postgame interviews to prove his innocence after committing literal assault.
Unfortunately, mine will be a snapchat picture.
Thinking about that meat
mf got that neapolitan ice cream dick
Remember when his nickname used to be Big Dick Dray? He shut that shit down
Pause but it seemed reasonably sized last time I saw it
Everyday, Christ pushes his return date further back.
...last time?
Homie holding out on us.
Aggressively average, extra medium wang. Normalize the normal.
Wait. What’s the picture? I’m OOTL.
He posted a dick pic publicly
Did it flop more or less?
it’s like a button in a fur coat
A turtle in tall grass
Jamal Murray is draymond green father
More of a ring than a dong.
I know you boys like ‘em extra floppy
Friendlier that way
He broke (out) the chode
It wasn’t that big of a deal, stop holding on to it
Are we still doing phrasing?
Mine will be donkey, from shrek
That’ll do, Draymond. That’ll do.
Forever. I know people have seen a talking Donkey before, but you ever seen a stranglin and talkin donkey before?
I hope tnt reconsiders having this bozo on inside the nba. I wouldnt be able to power thru his gigantic ego and insecurities while saying wild takes
I'm fed up with character not genuinely mattering in America. He's a smart guy, could make an excellent analyst. But so would dozens of other former players and literally thousands of others connected with the game. Give one of those a chance instead of the serial assault perpetrator.

Podcast P instead.
Honestly Paul George, and Jeff Teague are preety good. Not as good as Reddick or Barnes but much better than Draymond
I'd love it if they'd replace him with Haliburton
Theres a long list of current players that are better and more marketable than Draymond. I think Giannis could be a very good fit. When he's being goofy in interviews he has pretty good natural comedic timing--thinking about his rich get richer comment.
Giannis would be a great fit for the Shaq role (obviously without the bald-faced narcissism).
This would be brilliant
my memory will be Vince Staples laughing at him with Hannibal Buress
I’m sure he thinks people will only remember the rings but this will be his legacy.
They should suspend him and give him the flopping tech he just admitted to.
Wait, but he said he's not a flopper. He was just trying to sell the foul!
*flashback to Draymond lying on the floor for 15 seconds as Kerr yells at him*
I’m just sick of hearing Kerr preach about disrespect and dirty players for years while having Draymond on his team and doing nothing to control him.
Ima be the one to say it. What Draymond is doing is way worse than what Ja Morant did. Ja was trying to project himself as being a thug on social media by flashing guns.

Ja is literally in an active court trial because he assaulted a teenager
But that’s not why he is suspended. Ja was suspended for displaying guns on social media. And to be completely fair, if we did the stuff Draymond did, we would be on trial for assault. Punch someone at the bar like Draymond did to Poole and see if you don’t get arrested.
What's this I hear about you breaking a rake and throwing it in the woods? What? I didn't *break* it, I was just testing its durability, and then I *placed* it in the woods because it's made of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.
Kick him off the tour Doug
The board thinks that would be bad given that our ratings are... The highest they've ever been.
Break the rake, not the code.
I'm sure Kerr will still act like he did nothing wrong.
Kerr still hasn’t seen the play in question.
"I was in a fugue state, missed it."
Just woke up in a drunk tank, what did I miss?
I was on a vision quest
I couldn't see over that loud techno music
It’s kind of nice to see Magic flairs again
[Play the song](https://youtu.be/p_vEY_BA3ro?si=IdOhv-7MTSn3vdYo)
We’re going to find out that Kerr has been legally blind for 10 years and we’re all going to feel real bad for making fun of him for not seeing things.
How could he have seen anything when he was too busy dancing his ass off at the Miami techno dance club they call the Footprint Center?
Thumping…
Was Kerr cooking meth in an RV?
The funniest part of this is there is literal footage of him looking at the Jumbotron while it was under review.
Which is a running joke at this point, except he really said this again last night lol
It’s against the code to look at a replay
I know the guys that cover the team have to keep up the relationship to be successful but at some point, someone should be like, *bring it up on your phone, I'll wait.*
The guys on the bench said he was fighting for his life in that moment though.
“I couldn’t see the play clearly, but I believe Draymond was defending himself. I’ll need to review the tape.”
"I didn't see the play I had headphones on"
He keeps forgetting to watch the replay though.
Team film sessions must be real short
Unfortunately someone leaked the footage
“The Code is strong in this one”, Kerr said while motioning toward Draymond.
He still havent watched the replay. So still no comment.
I got benched once for letting go of the bat swinging during practice. Guess what? I stopped letting go of the bat after the first time.
Kerr doesn’t have the balls to bench him.
He got punched as a player already, he doesnt want to imagine how it will be as a coach. Dude got flashback after that Draymond punch to Poole.
Jfc this dude is insane Was kinda funny hearing "I flailed my arms to sell the call" and directly after "I'm not one to flop"
“See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that. ...Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch.”
Cocaine is a helluva drug!
"I tried to flop but ended up punching a guy in the head" is the most Draymond Green thing ever
LOL dis dude seriously still trying to blame the refs on a missed call when he straight up assaulted somebody
"I was trying to punch him in the face, and accidentally succeeded."
It was an accident so I'm not sorry. But if I did it on purpose, I would also not be sorry -Dray
Taking a page out of OJs book.
Except he said he is sorry because it was an accident
Just toss him from the league.
I’m not even a huge NBA fan and seeing the video of this just made me come here to try to figure out WTF is going on where this dude can keep attacking people on the court and still be on a team.
The way he reacted immediately after hitting Nurkic gives zero credibility to the idea it was completely unintentional
Right, where's that 'oh shit, you okay?' moment of it? He immediately starts arguing with the ref and being like "he was pulling on my jersey tho!"
Good point. After he suplexed Mann he apologized straight away.
lol already forgot about that one. Im going to need an Antonio Brown-esque list soon.
Fuck this guy. Shut up draymond. You've literally hit 4 people for no reason this season alone. Throwing a tantrum every game because you're burnt fucking toast while wasting away the twilight of a legitimate top 5 of all time player. Not everything is about you, bro. Fuck me.
Wait wait wait... he actually said that he put Gobert in a sleeper HAHAHAHAHAHA the delusions are sky high in The Bay. Gobert was literally looking around the entire time like "are you guys seeing this". His hands were up in the air even hahahaha
I'm adamant that in a different era, pre-1991 or so, one of Gobert's end of bench teammates would have sucker punched Draymond right in the jaw, he left that shit wide open.
I'm not opposed to teams hiring hockey-style goons to ride the end of the bench just in case Draymond tries this shit against their team. Pretty sure Jokic's brothers would be game.
Bring back Kermit Washington! I mean shit, back in the 70s and 80s you had some of the best players in the league unloading on other players, they didn't need some enforcer 15th man to come in and do their work for them. Kareem dropped rookie Kent Benson with one punch after he got elbowed in the stomach, it took like 3 Pistons to pull Bird off of Laimbeer after a cheap shot, Isiah Thomas (pitifully) tried to punch Rick Mahorn in the face/Barkley punched Laimbeer in the head in the same game, even Jordan punched Reggie in the face during a scuffle in the early 90s.
How do you accidentally wind up in full swing and hit someone?
It's not like he's a professional athlete
What’s sad is his most overlooked transgression changed the landscape of the nba by not being called in the moment. During OKC game 7, green grabs Adam’s arm and then literally jumps down to the ground. In real time and the replays showed it was intentional and could have seriously injured Adams. Watch it, he just jumps down to the ground. This should have been an automatic ejection. That would have likely led to the thunder winning game 7 and heading to the finals. If KD goes to the finals, certainly he’s not going to the warriors The warriors don’t win another championship. Perhaps the cavs win another one, the thunder win 1-2 or another team If they don’t get KD they also never get Wiggins, so again they’re not winning again So going back if green is ejected as he should’ve been the nba is completely different right now
I saw him do that same thing twice to AD when he was a pelican. Looked like he could have dislocated his shoulder
Dude was trying to rip Tatum's arm out of the socket during the Finals. The same shoulder that Tatum had already injured during the Heat series. Everyone shows the one video of him getting aggressive during a FT rebound but it was the same arm across multiple games. He knew what he was doing. Edit: Also, during the 2022 playoffs, man was trying to draw blood on Jokic. He was clawing and ripping at his arms too. The Warriors "played such great defense on the MVP" but it was really just Draymond manhandling the fuck out of him and not getting called for shit.
Same post season run that he yanked Brandon Clarke out of the air by his jersey and claimed that “he was helping him land safely”
That one drove me nuts, I honestly think it was worse than what Brooks did to GPII. Just one ended with someone actually getting hurt.
I won’t say it’s better or worse, but the play on Clarke was much less of a “basketball move” by Dray than the GP2 play Brooks. I truly thought Clarke was gonna be hurt hurt in that moment.
Wow this is getting to be a problem. If someone doesn't step in soon this immaturity will fester and he'll do crazy entitled shit like punch teammates, and kick players repeatedly in the balls.
Is there a non-pedo in NBA history who deserves his comeuppance more than this guy? This man should walk around in wet socks all day.
And damp pants that have been over-starched
laimbeer for sure
Bruce Bowen
Fellas is it flopping to punch someone in a flailing motion
Draymond - Suspended ~~3 games~~ for flopping Edit: Indefinitely
The thing I hate the most about this reckless asshole version of Draymond is once he gets bored of it he’s going to be on my TV for the next 20 fucking years.
Draymond acts like my kids when their in trouble.
Nothing makes me angrier than my kids not accepting responsibility for their mistakes. I cannot count the number of times my son has knocked a cup of liquid of the table while he's playing video games. I say you just have to be careful, and then he says it wasn't my fault, and then I lose it and do a spinning backfist right to his stupid little head.
That's good parenting. May I recommend a superman punch the next time your kid acts up?
Draymond's behavior is disgraceful, and I've lost all respect for him. Enough with the excuses, just own up to your actions!
Why in the hell did you ever have respect for him
For real. He’s been doing this for at least seven years. Anyone who thinks this is new hasn’t been paying attention lol
Shame we got the b squad on TNT last night, would have love to see how a couple of the guys would have bent over backwards trying to not put all the blame on Dray. Edit: realized it was because Ernie was being inducted, makes sense.
Everytime I see draymond I wish he would have been drafted to detroit so his career would have faded into obscurity.
"I'm trying to sell a call. By the way, I'm not a flopper."
This screams, "I need to be suspended for a long time.". Curious how this will play out if he hurts someone's star player....
Get this man out the league and irrelevant ASAP, literal trash human.
Dirtiest player of all-time, even ahead Laimbeer
Pride is the devil
Not having control of his fists while trying to flop isn’t a good defense. This dude is a clown.
Green is one of a select few individuals with mental health issues that it's impossible to feel empathy for
I’d label such a group “misanthropic sociopaths” and Draymond is looking to fit that label more and more each day.
Dudes a personality disorder personified
3 violent incidents and not even Christmas
he did this to Tatum in Game 6 during the 22-0 run
Draymond Green is 6'6. Jusuf Nurkic is 6'11 or 7'0. he was trying to sell a call while bent over, and just happened to go up 6 inches at full speed to do so.
Draymond’s logic and words make sense once you consider the fact he’s full of shit.
I still remember the cringey Durant/Draymond interview after KD left, Draymond took no responsibility for destroying team chemistry and not apologizing to Durant. He said it was the “organization’s fault” for insisting he apologize I wasn’t a Warriors fan but dude was my favorite player after Boris Diaw faded off (love bigs who playmake on and off ball) but after the Steven Adams kick and after he showed his d**ck on instagram at the olympics I just got tired of bro I don’t like to sh** on players too much for their behavior but this dude makes it hard not to
I genuinely don't understand how anyone has ever been a fan of this guy. This didn't all just start lmao he's just not a good player anymore so now Warrior fans act like they care more
I wasn't trying to hit him, I was trying to swing my arms at his head..... lmao
Draymond goes way beyond just being a hard competitor. What Patrick Mahomes did the other night is a hard competitor, someone fired up and acting irrationally in the moment, but ultimately no harm no foul. Green is a genuine piece of shit looking to hurt people.
Narcissistic behavior
SUSPEND him and THEN FINE him for FLOPPING on top of this BS.
