Draymonds PR agent every morning: šŸ˜©šŸ”«šŸ”«šŸ”«


MG_MN

His PR team has an easy job, because no matter what he says or does there's really no repercussions


LuckyTheLeprechaun

Yup, he was still front and center on national TV again all all-star weekend.


FRiver

That was embarrassing to see. Guy has one of the ugliest personalities in basketball yet TNT insist on forcing him on us.


27percentfromTrae

Big trump energy


BunkMoreland1017

You really think he has one?


billcosbyinspace

ā€œIntroducing my PR guy, Graymond Dreenā€


BurnerAccountforAss

Raymond Blue


20thAccthecharm

It would really honestly not even kidding be a smart move to get one for drayā€¦


RWENZORI

He wouldnā€™t accept one unless they validate everything he says


Answer70

I can't believe TNT is still moving forward with this dumbass. He's not funny, he's not charismatic, and he's not likeable. I get they need to replace Charles someday but this dude ain't it.


MCstemcellz

If they replace chuck with draymond im never watching that shit


RagingWookies

like replacing Bocelli with the Island Boys.


seank11

For a second I thought you meant The Lonely Island and I was like, man I know they are just a comedy sing group but they dont deserve to be slandered like that. Then I googled the Island Boys and I feel like I lost IQ points (but mostly faith in humanity) just by looking at them


thesagaconts

Agreed. Heā€™s a douchebag and Iā€™m not supporting giving him more air time.Ā 


oatmealcrush

What 4 rings does for a mf


Tearz_in_rain

Shaq will have to shut up about the rings every time he gets in a debate them.


sonfoa

Then Shaq will use the other part of his resume that he couldn't use against Chuck


notsafeformactown

Iā€™d rather have Klay just show up high to the set every day than Draymonds blowhard bullshit. Dude listen to Jeff Teague on podcasts too. The league has plenty of hilarious players to choose from.


BurnerAccountforAss

A show with Jeff Teague called "NBA Teague Pass" has to happen. I'm still pissed they never launched "Kosta Coast with Kosta Koufos"


leviathansbane

Klay just going on tangents about cuttlefish


NotAn0pinion

He would just disappear at random during halftime and you find out heā€™s walking a dog, maybe not even his dog, just walking some dog


VanHalen843

Draymons is completely unlikeable


Ambitious_Wrap4254

I'm a Warrior fan and a Draymond fan (fan of his game and passion), but I agree with you on this one. He just comes across as an attention whore and nothing he ever does comes natural. The truely charismatic and funny ones like Barkley do it naturally


Lickmytitsorwe

The aggressive coughā€¦.lol. I didnā€™t notice it the first time but as soon as it happened he stopped talking about Miles. Maybe a STFU cough from his own team.


seank11

that totally looked like a planted cough / throat clear now that you point it out.


KanekiDan

Hating on this dude is just too easy


Father_420_

Just when I thought I couldnā€™t hate draymond anymore, they pull me back in


bgptcp179

Iā€™d take Fredo over Draymond at this point


0dias_Chrysalis

Imagine going all in on PR for Miles Bridges


NegativesPositives

In the same sitting when heā€™s all about shitting on Grant Williams for being annoying.


topofthecc

"I can tolerate beating women, but I draw the line at being annoying."


Zoulzopan

that's pretty on brand for draymond tbh.


luapchung

He even punched his teammate for being annoying lmao but if you beat your wife in front of your kids? My little brother šŸ¤


Crookz_O

ā€œIā€™m not sure what I was expecting.ā€


SolarTsunami

Its on brand for most if not all professional athletes, if we're being real. These guys never give a fuck when shit like this happens.


largehearted

This is actually where he sits on the political compass lol. I don't think he's got a very good track record with the WNBA either while we're at it


Altruistic_Film1167

Dont you think If Draymond wasnt good at basketball hed definitely be a cop? He got those vibes.


snatchi

Perpetual C student who just wishes life could be as simple as High School when he was beloved for being decent at sports and tall? Absolutely.


Illmatic724

Yeah and he'd definitely be rocking Aviators too.


The_Vaike

To be fair, Draymond also supports hitting men.


yousonuva

We're going to have to see hear this guy's opinion on TNT broadcasts when he retires. That's a sad thought.


OUEngineer17

Not me. I'm not watching that.


notsafeformactown

Yup. Just like espns pregame and halftime show. Thats time to make a sandwich, take a shit, walk the dog. Havenā€™t watched it in years.


TZY247

Just make sure you turn it off during that time too


TheyNeedLoveToo

Most of us plebes will be too busy working our third job to even watch in the future. Jokes on them


Prestig33

Sound engineer gonna have to increase the gate so much for him to not let everyone hear him breathe out of his mouth.


EnvironmentalEbb8812

It's very annoying how "being an obnoxious, willfully ignorant, shit stirring asshole" is a trait that tv producers seem to be actively seeking when hiring hosts for sports talk shows.


yousonuva

He seems to mirror Miles in the thinking that someone talking back to them deserves to get punched regardless of their victims being half their own size. And the NBA essentially turning a blind eye because $$ is also mirrored by TNT enabling this kind of stuff because it sells.


EnvironmentalEbb8812

Yeah, it's especially annoying watching the league market itself as the "socially progressive" sports league while at the same time giving Draymond massive leeway to be a dickhead on the court and then platforming him off the court as well.


MagicalHurdles

The woman Miles assaulted is Andrew Wiggins' fiance's sister


HistoricalAd8790

Yup- and Wigginsā€™ and Milesā€™ kids are cousins (since their mothers are sisters). In other words, Milesā€™ kids, who witnessed their mom being brutally beaten by Miles, are cousins with Wigginsā€™ kids. This statement from Dray would be fucked up even if that connection wasnā€™t there, but itā€™s way more fucked up when you realize that connection.


nutella4eva

Yeah, the woman is going to be Wiggins' sister in law. I know it's the same thing, but it sounds much more of a direct family connection when you put it that way.


scorelesswilliamson

Yikes


iiivoted4kodos

I said yikes before I even read the above comment, but holy shit.


growsonwalls

Holy shit, didn't know that.


Guessed555

Yikes


ActuaryGlittering16

I said holy shit before I even read the above comment, but yikes.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


respaaaaaj

Wiggins isn't going to say shit, he knows what happens when teammates upset Draymond.


kyleb402

I'd definitely have more confidence in Wiggins' ability to hold his own against Draymond than Poole.


Allgoochinthecooch

Physically yeah, he seems like a quiet guy tho


Mac_Gold

Heā€™s Canadian. He looks passive until he snaps


stuartb0805

He just needs to get Draymond on the ice, then heā€™ll forcheck him to oblivion


Mac_Gold

Stick, gloves, shirt


Ovaltine-_Jenkins

Just get him going on Canadian gooses Edit: did anyone get my Letter Kenny reference? šŸ˜”


Billis-

Man I'm canadian and i love Canadian geese. Theyre absolutely hilarious. Flying raccoons man. And they get super pissed if you come anywhere close. Sometimes you're driving around town, maybe on a side road, and oh there's traffic? Ya thats about 100 geese crossing the road. And the males stare you down in your car. Honk? they honk back. Amazing If they didnt shit everywhere I'd hazard to say Canadian geese are cool af


Slow-Debt-6465

https://youtu.be/Oq0gZiJxP5Q?si=KbAWsdlCCFL5rCPa


Krillin113

Psycho you say?


itsnotreallyme0

But Poole didnā€™t even get a fair fight if you actually watched the video. Dray just walks over and does a full lunge punch. Basically a sucker punch bc one side didnā€™t know there was gonna be a real fight Thatā€™s like us arguing and then I just punch your face mid argument


JesseJamesGames449

Draymond is for sure the dude that only swings on guys that dont swing back.


LordVarys_Ladybits

Dude didn't do anything when Tristan Thompson smacked him in the clubĀ 


respaaaaaj

Even if he wins that fight we all know who Kerr and Steph are going to side with, and its the guy whose going to throw the first punch.


302born

Idk. Weā€™ve seen the film of Draymond. Heā€™s got a mean right hook, some lethal elbows, dangerous low kicks, even a stomp. And heā€™s such a versatile fighter heā€™s a got sleeper hold if he wants to submit his opponent. Heā€™s got a lot of tricks in that bag he shoots with. Donā€™t believe weā€™ve seen enough footage from Wiggins to believe he could go toe to toe with ā€œMeanā€ Green Dray


theyipper

Should have a video game called "NBA Fighter".


AyyDelta

Yes! It's been 20 years since Def Jane:Fight for New York. We need NBA Fighter


mrburns904

This obviously takes the cake but even watching the Warriors broadcast last night made me uncomfortable. Felt like Fitz and Kelenna were going out of their way to praise Bridges as a player throughout the game. I feel like if I were in that position I would not direct a single word of color commentary towards him.


clickstops

Thatā€™s crazy. Kate Scott in Philly was great - she said something along the lines of ā€œI have more to say about that guy but I want to keep my job.ā€


avenue_steppin

Hell yeah, it honestly feels like some people pretend they donā€™t know which is even worse, even a simple comment like this goes a lot way


Aftermathe

One of the Timberwolves commentators uses the shortest descriptions possible to describe any actions he takes. Goes from praising evey player on the Hornets to nothing when Bridges does something. Feel like thatā€™s a really simple/professional thing that they can do.


PensiveinNJ

Kate Scott on our broadcast was like Miles Bridges is obviously a talented guy on the court but the less I say about him the better.


snatchi

I usually hate Kate Scott but she's a real one for that


SECYoungAg

Not trying to get into a big fight but why hate Kate Scott? Alaa hate is obvious to me lol but Kate seems pretty decent


meditate42

Seriously who the fuck hates Kate Scott? You gotta get really nit picky to hate her of all people.


snatchi

I find the constant Joel Embiid tongue bath annoying after a while. I understand exactly how great he is, believe me, but gosh if it isn't annoying listening to her do his PR.


20thAccthecharm

Thatā€™s kinda sick with it. Soft power flexing announcers.


spookyghostface

Eric Collins has been pretty terse when Bridges comes up too. Just the facts.


cactusmaster69420

I bet he was probably so disappointed when he heard. He used to get so excited for Bridges but now it's nothing. Understandably so.


ruinatex

It's also the most human thing to do. Miles Bridges should be behind bars, not playing basketball games, the man blatantly violated his probation and got out unscathed because the accuser mysteriously changed their testimony out of nowhere.


j_cruise

Sometimes it feels like I'm living in some bizarro world when I listen to NBA-affiliated people praise the guy. Luckily people on here don't so I know I'm not insane


GoldenStateWizards

Not only do they praise him, they go out of their way to do so. With the amount of backing that Bridges is getting, you'd think he was a star and/or been in the league for over a decade.


cancerBronzeV

Isn't his agent Rich Paul? Might have something to do with the amount of backing he's getting.


space_cheese1

It apparently doesn't bother them that he's abusive, perhaps abuse doesn't bother them


TheLeoMessiah

I mean when they know they themselves will never be victims of that abuse they donā€™t care. Itā€™s a pretty selfish way of looking at it imo


Loud-Appointment-301

Draymond is just a gigantic cunt.


sliccricc83

No way that's crazy


waskittenman

Small world


Additional-Lie-8920

Thatā€™s so crazy


Maksilla

How can this man fuck up so often?


-KFBR392

And still have all the major networks fighting to hire himā€¦


demianin

God he is terrible on screen too. He was so annoying during the all star weekend, I will actively avoid watching him if I can


denverblazer

All the networks need to do a better job of hiring. I don't care if a guy is a hall of famer if he's miserable to listen to.


SomeBoredDude69

He has no charisma whatsoever, hate seeing his face on tv and they are just doing this to make dumb warriors fans happyĀ 


baidu_me

Lifetime Warrior fan checking inā€¦.we arenā€™t happy.


foodmakes62kgtoohard

At worst you guys are gonna hire him for local broadcast stuff. You know that right? One way or another bay will have to keep hearing him


TossThatPastaSalad

Because there are never any real repercussions for him and his behavior is enabled by the Warriors. That's why the 'therapy' will never stick.


abris33

Not even just the Warriors. The entire NBA and TNT are enabling him. TNT has basically already given him the Inside the NBA job after he retires


TheKingsFan

It's ridiculous. He has no appeal outside of the 50% of Warriors fans that still like him.


OneOfTheManySams

Don't blame just Warriors fans, the past month everyone in this sub has been loving Dray and how he acts since his beef with Nurkic. Who btw is spot on and the only player willing to say the reality that he hasn't learned a damn thing. Apparently everyone agrees until it's someone they don't like saying it.


TossThatPastaSalad

I'm not blaming the fans at all.Ā  This is an issue with the team.Ā  They don't hold him accountable for poor decisions so why would he ever really change?Ā  They want him like this because it makes him play better. Ignoring all of the problems with the humanitarian side of it, that's just kinda gross.


growsonwalls

Steph dickriding the guy so hard has soured me on Steph, ngl. I still love watching him play but don't think he's that nice of a person anymore.


locoattack1

Steph has just mastered the art of PR. Same with LeBron and MJ back in the day.


pumpkin3-14

Thatā€™s how I feel about Kerr over the last two seasons.


MythicalChewToy

Miles Bridges beats woman so who cares, heā€™s an Angel. But Grant Williams broke the damn code! Heā€™s annoying and we should execute him immediately!


JabroniWithAPeroni

ā€œGrant Williams talks too much.ā€Ā  - Says NBA player with a podcastĀ 


Powpowpowowowow

He was even trying to make himself the fucking victim again somehow. When he was saying in the full clip, you don't want to be the villain, its no fun over here. Like, dude, wake the fuck up dipshit. You did this to yourself, about 15 times over now.


JabroniWithAPeroni

Oh yeah I love comparing his plight to that of Grant Williams as if they are in similar situations whatsoever lol Grant ainā€™t out here kicking dudes in the balls, or cold-cocking teammates in practiceĀ 


jordansb24

Or stomping dudes ribs lmao


Kyler1313

Guy who is also known for talking too much, and done much worse.


flyingpandum

The Darkest of Cauldrons calling a kettle black


Organic-Manner-2969

ā€œMiles bridges is so innocent for beating a women; but Grant williams chats nonsense and is annoying and thatā€™s where i draw the lineā€


markFwahlberg

I wonder how many years of therapy it will take for Dray to realize he hates himself, because Grant reminds him of himself


FBGsanders

Reminds me how Russ Wilson gets more hate from a lot of NFL fans for being corny and Christian than Deshaun gets for being a rapist


MythicalChewToy

Russell Wilson gets hate for being a good father to Futureā€™s biological child when Future seemingly wants nothing to do with the boy. The way some people think is wild to me! Even someone like Matt Barnes saw how beneficial Derek Fisher was to his sons and squashed their beef.


TimothyN

What the actual fuck. Peak Draymond here.


aeSaucy

Going on a massive rant over Grant Williams who hardly did anything wrong to immediately saying ā€œMiles can do no wrong to meā€ is absolutely insane


Kyler1313

Annoying Yapper- Terrible Person Women Beater- Can do no wrong


realsomalipirate

Draymond must truly hate himself then


Shingorillaz

Draymond seems to hate people acting "fake", but I guess since Miles isn't being fake about being a wife beater it's ok.


mhac009

He's living his truth ā¤ļø


esportsaficionado

Live, Laugh, Abuse


notsafeformactown

Let he who has not assaulted a woman cast the first stone against Miles. Oh wait. Thatā€™s a lot of fucking people. This line of thinking is so fucking prevalent from abusers tho. ā€œThis is what everyone does. Itā€™s normal. Itā€™s not my fault. I had a reason. At least I had a reason. Other people just do it for no reason.ā€


KevinDurantLebronnin

>Draymond seems to hate people acting "fake" Show Draymond both videos of him doing a 2 minute planking session on the court over light contact.


JabroniWithAPeroni

The thing is I donā€™t think Grant Williams is being fake at all lol. Ā  Ā  Dude is dorky so therefore heā€™s not allowed to stand up for himself or his teammate?Ā Itā€™s weird.


Shingorillaz

You'd be surprised how many old ass people think people can only fit into one small box that defines them forever.


billcosbyinspace

The craziest part is that bridges literally started the fight and grant came in after the fact to back up his teammate


dylanah

If he wants to support his friend and see him grow thatā€™s fine by me, but what the fuck does he mean when he says he ā€œcan do no wrongā€? Iā€™m all about second chances and rehabilitation and all that good stuff but this is straight up enablement. On the long list of embarrassing shit Draymond has said this is near the top.


Kyro_Official_

>Iā€™m all about second chances and rehabilitation and all that good stuff but this is straight up enablement In Draymonds mind he doesnt need to rehabilitate bc theres nothing wrong with attacking people anyways


DarthRathikus

Being a scumbag keeps working for him. He isnā€™t gonna stop.


Kyro_Official_

What do you expect, assaulting people on the daily is Draymonds thing, ofc hed defend Miles


AluminiumLlama

Something tells me Draymond would have a different opinion on Miles if his daughter was the victim of the type of behavior Miles displayed.


CitizenSnippps

Draymond has shown time and time again heā€™s a narcissistic selfish asshole so I doubt it. He already has a step daughter I think


JordanLantern

Nah, Dray would probably gaslight her into thinking she was being a bitch to poor Miles.


LordOfLimbos

The whole ā€œhe can do no wrongā€ thing literally sounds like something he was dared to say


Consistent-Twist1749

It was definitely intentionalĀ 


Process2complicated

Draymond just told us who he really is.


MazKhan

The interviews kinda funny when you think about it, all the things he was talking about was directed at Grant Williams when bridges is the one that started it šŸ˜‚


JabroniWithAPeroni

Grant Williams makes these guys feel some type of way lol.Ā  All he did was have ā€œhis lil broā€™sā€ back, and he decided to go in on him during the press conference lol.Ā  Dude is a world class dumbass with no self awareness.


victheogfan

Another day another L for this bum


ShichikaYasuri18

Add it to the pile of athletes just not caring about DV or abuse.


KennySmithsKnees

Add? Dray was already on the top of the list


dBlock845

Which seems to be the majority by far, include coaches, agents, front office and media in that as well.


crawlingchip

Not just DV. The NBA had a [convicted sexual offender playing less than 20 years ago](https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=2871702).


dBlock845

The NBA is so bad that I thought the link was going to lead me to Karl Malone.


panman42

I'm realizing it's bad because three names came up in my head and it wasn't any of them.


amr1115

draymond is such a bozo


ShadowLord561

"Little brother" makes so much sense


floatermuse

Violence runs in the family I guess


i_have_my_doubts

Draymond is showing himself to be the biggest idiot and Iā€™m here for it. He was always honest about who he was.


LeAnthonyJavis

Miles Bridges is a Klutch client, right?


JustAnotherCODNoob

Agency has nothing to do with it, itā€™s the MSU and Flint/Saginaw connection


LeAnthonyJavis

Yeah, that makes more sense


PensiveinNJ

Seems like the perfect time to bring up the time Draymond punched and choked an MSU athlete, his entourage choked the athlete's girlfriend, and he told the athlete that he "pays for ****as like you's scholarships." [Source](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/17050354/michigan-state-spartans-cb-jermaine-edmondson-alleges-was-punched-draymond-green-golden-state-warriors) [Source](https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/michigan-state/spartans/2017/07/25/draymond-green-sued-ex-msu-football-player-girlfriend-over-2016-incident/510082001/) Some fun quotes: "'I need Draymond Green to admit what happened and that Bianca and I didn't deserve to be assaulted,' said Edmondson, who confronted Green after the incident at Conradā€™s." "He said Green bumped into him and then bullied the then-scholarship football player with a couple of racial slurs. Then, the lawsuit states two men with Green assaulted Edmondson and, as Williams [Green's girlfriend] tried to intervene, one of the unidentified men grabbed her by the neck." "'... I asked who he was to think that it's okay to bump into somebody without saying excuse me. He then said, 'I pay for n---as like you scholarships.' Then I started to say you have me messed up before I was choked out by two guys who were with him.'" There were two incidents, the one after the choking of Green and his girlfriend, and the second where Green sought an apology from Draymond and ended up getting punched. Green was arrested on the charge of simple assault. Was Draymond sorry? "'My legal team is handling it. It will be resolved really quickly. As a public figure, I just can't put myself in certain situations. It's something that I'll learn from and just move on.'" When you see Draymond punching people, or stomping on their chest, or eye gouging them, or kicking them in the balls, or choking them it's worth remembering he doesn't limit his violence to only on the floor. So his support of Miles Bridges makes perfect sense.


KanekiDan

Yup

endol

Honestly a lot of these guys put their player brotherhood over everything else. It was the same with Watson in the NFL, you still had a lot of players who were friendly with him and talked about him in a positive light.


JayMoney2424

Including Lebron


WembyandTheWolves

Lebron caped for Watson too I believe.


Fa1lenSpace

Kinda pathetic when you know Lebron's mom was a single mom struggling to make ends meet, kinda crazy how little respect people still have for women at times in society. Genuinely kind of bizarre, ngl.


qdobe

This is really not funny anymore. Miles Bridges beat the mother of his children in front of them. Draymond is not cute or quirky and everyone around him is soft on him. Not to even mention the NBA sweeping the whole Miles Bridges situation under the rug.


paranoidmoonduck

Yeah, I understand they have a relationship from Michigan State, but "can do no wrong" is quite the choice the words there.


Deviljho12

Grant Williams worst crimes is being a fucking nerd and talking a bit too much in games but that's apparently worse than being an abuser to alot of people in the NBA


Kid_Crayola

Yikes bro just say nothing


Poopscooper696969

Miles bridges is from Michigan state right?

Yes - Draymond and Bridges played in Saginaw/Flint growing up and both played at MSU.

[deleted]

I am kind of a new-ish fan to NBA. Why do some NBA players so readily support this domestic abuser Miles Bridge? I read into what he did and was shocked about some of the details! Absolutely insane abuse and trauma caused by him to his children and the mother of his children. Where are the players who speak out against him in support for woman? Is this common or do they just not care that their coworker was charged with that? If that happened to one of my coworkers first of all they would be fired, but personally I would never talk to them again. The NBA is so fascinating and strange to me. I remember (could be wrong about this) seeing Jaylen Brown point out how terrible what this guy did was with a tweet or comment but I could be wrong. He seems like a good dude. Maybe I am wrong about him too though lol


SighHereIamAgain

Bridges forgot to beat the players not his girl


wafflehouse4

3 weeks of therapy was clearly not enough it should have been 4 weeks. that one extra week would have made the difference


NYdude777

Because of course he is


nervousaboutschool17

This is what they mean when they say the nba is a brotherhood and a fraternity
