Steve Kerr deserves a lot more blame than any player or executive. How many times have we heard him dodge questions about Draymond or defend Draymond when he was clearly wrong. He should be ashamed for letting it get this far. He’s a huge reason why it’s gotten to this point
Steve Kerr is "SCARED" of Draymond Green and will not confront him. He may talk tough about him in private, but when Draymond Green is throwing a "fit" in the locker room after a game or at half time, it is Steve Kerr's responsibility to deal with that and put a muzzle on him if necessary. And he HAS NOT done it!!!
sorry but he's not an HC coach who's there to babysit and be a father figure. these players are professionals with multi million dollar contracts and it's their responsibility to behave at work. plus you have the GM and ownership to set the threshold at their franchise and deal with misconducts etc... you can't excuse Steph either. he should understand that his window is closing soon as he's 35 and should not put up with this kind of crap.
They keep framing it as, “he needs help”, so that people can feel sorry for him, but it’s hard to sympathize with someone who’s a repeat offender and shows no remorse for their actions. If losing millions of dollars wasn’t enough to make him stop nothing was going to. He earned that indefinite suspension, he really should’ve got a set amount of games built into that to keep him from coming back too soon.
@@rhombo323 Yeah but the flip side to that is that he could come back in 7 games claiming he’s better and that would be absolute bs. The league should make him stay away for a minimum of 10 games if not 20 before evaluating him to see if he’s eligible to return.
The Warriors let Draymond get away with that behavior for far too long, should have moved on from him when the incident with KD happened, that was the moment.
The issue we all have with the media is his friendships with them is allowing for sympathy and not accountability. They called him "Intelligent"🤣 They have a low standard of intelligence. Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein were intelligent. They sound smart to a person who's stupid
@@EduardoOliveira-zx9ju you don’t know his level of intelligence, you haven’t met him or had a conversation. Only thing I can tell is you lack intelligence from that clearly racist comment.
The man punched a teammate and had no punishment. When fault is being addressed the Warriors never hopped in front of things and suspended him. That team has made the league dish out punishments.
And what you act like fights never broke out between teammates unless you telling me you never played a team sport. By the way check out poole in Washington and see thr bs he causing there soooo
Fights happen but a fist fight never changed the season. Also he has been straight up out of control since this incident. If you have kids some kids are disappointed in themselves and others have to be punished. Not everyone responds the same but to be unapologetic about bad behavior means the team should’ve stepped in first.
@@dwaynelawson7398bro stfu. That wasn’t a little fight that was a full power sucker punch in a NBA practice! Draymond didn’t push back or throw a little punch, man threw a haymaker. I wouldn’t want to be his wife or kids, clearly has a real anger problem if your denying that you simply are being ignorant and ignoring the legit 100’s of on camera incidents.
@@dwaynelawson7398that wasnt a fight. Fight means both sides are going at it. Draymond sucker punched poole, it was clear poole didnt wanna do nun and dray was the aggressor. He loves hurting ppl who have no ill intentions against him
Long overdue honestly. They made apparent earlier that if you're a player on a great team you can get away with a lot of things. Draymond pushed it too far and now people gotta hold him accountable because they don't want to look stupid.
if by a while you mean since day one - you are 100% right. dude has been duping the league and fans into thinking he is anything but a clown for a decade and nba kept silent because of the money GSW brought in.
Draymond is a real dawg. And you can't teach old dog new tricks. So he will eventually return later to be a disruptive force again, as in punch, smack, choke, & hit private parts - a real Golden State "Warrior".
The punch on Poole in the 2022 off season after they won their championship is what started all this. It wasn't just Poole though, they had a few other younger guys whom they quietly traded off, i honestly think Draymond probably played a role in that too, all told he's very difficult to put up with in the locker room. Even Kerr mentioned it a couple of times. Ultimately i feel that the catalyst was the Poole punch, it lead to a spiralling. Couple the fact that Klay is now way psst his best, the dynasty has ended.
There were quite a few incidents before the Poole punch. I think his form and the team's form has been the catalyst. He always has been a thug, he's just more exasperated now so it's coming out more frequently.
@@Sbock86 I personally think that after he punched Poole, he probably lost a lot of respect in the dressing room, especially with the younger guys, Draymond fancied himself a locker room voice, someone who could be a leader in the back, i think he lost that leadership position after the Poole punch. All his antics before punching Poole were on the court, KD being the most notable issue. But after he punched Poole, i think the players stopped respecting him, not Curry or Klay, but the rest probably did. How can you look up to someone who resorts to violence and laying hands on a kid over 10 years younger than him. In a professional environment at work. After the Poole punch, man gets suspended 4 times too, the most of any player in such a short period of time. It's all very telling. *I think him losing his position in the franchise he's given his life too has made him spiral out of control.*
Nahhh my friend, this bs started years ago. 2022 Poole Punch was where the line was drawn and he bounce on and around and through and over it. This is well deserved and he needs to be out the league. Seriously.
He'll be back in a week or two after the Warriors are 5+ games below .500 and desperately need him back. "Indefinite" suspension is cowardice from the NBA cause it means he can come back at any time. The league has never and will never hold Draymond Green accountable for anything.
Blame Kerr and Curry who’s supposed to be the coach and leader of the team yet failed to reel him in and practically supported his childish behavior for years
Blame Steph for Draymonds unhinged behavior? I understand he should hold him accountable considering he is the team leader but Draymond has made it very clear that he is gonna do whatever he wants. We don't know what goes in that locker room.
This suspension by design will favor Draymond! It most certainly will not be as long as it should be. Why is everyone acting like he crossed the line this time? He already crossed the line with JP and RG and one other incident!
Although I don't believe this is Steph Curry's fault, I have been saying for years that his leadership and accountability for losing seasons has gone overlooked while guys like LeBron have been held under a microscope and over-scrutinized so many times
Steph curry not out here calling himself a self proclaimed king!! Not Steph job babysit grown men. Steph won with dray and klay and they got bond. So Steph not going throw dray under bus.
Look, the majority of us pretty much hated David Stern right? But in such cases where his hammer would drop we desperately miss him. Silver is giving wayyyyyyy to much power to the players in the last years and it sadly shows, in multitude of ways.
It’s because of the players association. It’s kind of like a union to my understanding or it is I haven’t looked into it. What’s another suspension going to do? Even if it is for a significant timeframe. He needs help plain and simple not another punishment
I always feel frustrated with teams stringing players along and not giving them the huge contract. Then along comes the many examples like D Green. They get the big contract and then take a dive in their career. It happens a lot! If the Warriors had let him go, they'd be damned by these same guys who are now shaking their head at Greens behavior.
Right on!!! Draymond is much loved, and love is also disciplining each other, when called for, so we can be the best we can. This incident is showing how we can all cooperate, love, be tolerant. "Punishment does not work." Just as war does not create peace. Cooperation + Tolerance = Peace, Adi Da Samraj
Stern was commissioner when Parish got the one game suspension for pummeling Laimbeer in the face (repeatedly) back in '87. It's a different league today with different concerns, but the "Draymond is lucky that Silver is commissioner" argument isn't particularly convincing.
It shouldnt have even gotten to this point before this suspension. People keep enabling this type of behavior till it gets totally out of control. Stephen A is partially right about the previous commisoner. But that commissioner wouldnt have let it go this far. Draymond would have been dealt with a long time ago
Draymond is dirtier than even most 80s players were, and he's admitted he won't change. There's a point where sympathy for him becomes a bit ridiculous and he needs to just be away from basketball for a while. His behavior has alienated and harmed both opponents and his own teammates. He's too old to be acting like this.
It’s not that difficult even if you love the man. He punched someone in the face during a game on purpose, after having a history of assaulting people during games on purpose.
@@RaiderNation327but in all seriousness, the people running the nba back then, the fans, the sponsors were all different. It was a different world. People weren’t under a microscope like now. Go back further in history and judges used to sentence people to death for witchcraft and enslave other humans. The further back you go the more heinous the acceptable behaviors. I don’t think he should be fired or anything but sit the season out and get some help is what they’re saying.
here is the problem He didn't punch someone in the face during a game. HE SUCKER PUNCHED HIM. If they were squared off, if there was a good reason, then it's a little more understandable and a little more defensible. In this case, he's a sucker punching thug. Pure and simple...
It's clear this year that draymond takes aggression from playing the game too far. If he can't stop the triggers for him to react to aggression then draymond greens career might be over the next time.
Why is no one talking about how the GS Warriors organization should be held accountable for the monster they created with Draymond green. He cost them the 2016 Chip. He ran KD out of town, He ran Poole out of town, He’s a habitual nut kicker/puncher. This year alone he stomped on a chest, Choked out someone, and threw a Dray-maker to the face. All European players (Take that how you will). The fact he has changed the team dynamic and has declined as a player, why does the GS organization not run it with a heavier fist when it comes to green.
Another thing not talked about was in the 2022 playoffs how he got ejected from Game 1 against Memphis which could have shifted momentum in the series luckily GS clutched up , and in the Finals when he got into it with Jaylen Brown where he was a tech away from being ejected and possibly suspended for the series
Many of these NBA players have such huge egos. They are going to ruin fan support and hurt the game. Gianni’s reaction to a game ball is just another example.
Maybe it's time to think about a possible ban. I know SAS won't admit it, but I think Draymond could & should get banned, If he can't get his anger in check.
I'm a huge Warriors fan and I think the suspension is right. Fraymond needs help. This is no different than Ja Morant. If he can't stop destructive behavior even though it is costing him and his team, then he needs some real help dealing with whatever issues are affecting him.
Obviously he hasn't learned, because he's servicing yet another suspension. The late David Stern would have been much harder of him and on Ja Morant about not 1 but 2 gun instances. $$$ has gone 2 their heads. Not only are the fans let down, the teams are let down too. As 4 Green, he's gonna seriously hurt or kill someone if he doesn't change his ways as well as his conduct. Like the late Michael Jackson sang, "start with the man in the mirror & ask him 2 change his ways.......no message will get any clearer.....he needs 2 look @ himself & make that change'............just my $0.02 as we are all entitled to our opinions.
Hitting someone in the temple area like that can knock them out and worst. It takes a fool to want hurt someone like that over getting position. Look at the guy sitting on the bench and his mouth drop wide open looking at that hit by Draymond.
Draymond was playing well at the beginning of season. Until he had the game he missed due to personal reasons. Since then it’s been downward spiral fast. Wonder if that personal reason has something to do with his actions this season. I’m an optimistic and want to believe in people so I’m imagining that when he comes back he will change the narrative of himself. That’s my hope.
Very much so. Draymond is clearly going through it. When I was deep into my boxing career, occasionally you'd see the fighter who was clearly angry in the ring, and those were basically free wins. In sport, being angry is almost never a positive, and right now he's hurting his play, the Warriors, and himself. I do hope he gets the help he needs, and there can be an intervention to get him back in the right headspace to save his legacy, because what he's accomplished is absolutely incredible and he's too smart and driven to let this be his lasting memory.
Jordan. Gobert. Nurkik. When is the union going to start paying attention to these three players as opposed to coddling/enabling Green? The union represents all players, not just Green.
Reminds me of peak Rodman, minus the on court production. It's beyond passion or aggression. Man has a sinister streak and actually intends to hurt people. That Turkic hit was a Texas Tornado style right hook, he wound-up that punch from tip-off.
Draymond has never fought anyone head up all his incidents his opponents were caught off gaurd I bet he thinks hes tough lol But really makes him look weak
The very thing that makes Draymond an overachiever and eventual Hall of Famer is the very thing that contributes the most to his issues…confidence , arrogance and a HUGE chip on his shoulder. It’s gotten him this far and it’s hard to convince him otherwise. He feels like he is self made so why change or listen to anyone who asks him to. You live by the sword, you die by the sword…
I remember two dudes in particular when they showed up to playball. Nobody wanted to be on the court. Those two dudes mission was to inflict physical damage to anyone. Guys would pass on a layup if they were under the basket because you would catch a forearm shiver or get tackled.
The reason incidents like this keep happening he’s overly eager to prove his value to the team and in doing such trying to prove himself he ends up doing things like that which is completely unacceptable. Good guy, but he gotta get his stuff together.
@XxRoadRunna2zxX bro, you can't be choking, kicking , punching, slamming players like this guy does. Once someone shows you who they are, believe them. There's no telling how he acts behind closed doors.
The problem I have with hypocrite smith is that he said Kyrie Irving was under a contract and by signing a contract with the nets, he was obligated to take that vaccine. Now Draymond is under contract so he obligated to conduct himself as a professional. But he's sad for draymond but take it personally with kyrie. You can't be talking out both sides of your mouth and be respected
That’s not a good comparison at all bro two different situations..Kyrie was choosing to sit out & not be there for his team by not taking the Vaccine..Draymond is wildin doing his team a disservice but he’s not intentionally sitting out
Golden State Warriors could’ve never won their rings without having a player kicking people in their nuts in every playoff series. Steph & Klay would never get as many open shots as they did without the no hand check rule and kicking in the nuts rule with no repurcussions.
@@svbion He is over the top with that comment but he kinda have a pointe there. They practically had so many open shoots because of his screens which r more suited for NFL than NBA. His dirty plays can fck with people mentally, there wasn't one big series for GSW where he didn't kick, eye poke, punch or pull opposing players. I remember when Dray eye poke Jokic for no reason. If I were on Jokic team, next play Curry would get knee in the ribs or Klay would get elbow in the face. If u r going to hurt r best guy, same is going to happen to your stars. I bet u somebody from GSW would talk to him real quick. In that series against Grizzlies when GP got hurt, it all started with Draymond pulling Brandon Clark to the ground after the foul. And after that Grizzlies started playing like him and GP got hurt, Kerr said after the game: "They broke the code". If any of us started acting like him, we would be in jail or mental institution, yet GSW always had some excuses for his actions. Even after that thing with J Pool, they were more mad about the person who was filming than at him. I hate how many people r trying to play this as "he must be going through some hard times, he needs help". So many people r in jail because they fall in some hard times. Who cares about his hard times, he's trying to hurt people because he can't play on NBA level and now we should all feel sorry for him.
It’s crazy to think, the Duds could have kept KD but instead chose to keep Drayclown. Honestly, would KD have left the opportunity to win several more championships, unless he had a very, very good reason? Enter Drayclown as the reason.
He just signed a 4 year 100M deal during the off season. NBA deals are guaranteed so GSW aren’t going to cut him and throw away 100m along with that luxury cap hit.
I think The Warriors franchise is coming down to earth and realize they have to accept the reality that they aren’t contenders anymore. And that is being displayed thru Draymond’s actions lately
They need to trade him when he comes back and also klay and rebuild on the fly. Steph has one more year at this level. They ain’t winning another chip so they might as well rebuild now and they spending 400 million payroll too
The Warriors has looked the other way a long time,because he gave them that edge.Being the designate enforcer can be hard putting that genie back in the bottle
I think he should call it a career. If he delves deep to the root of his anger issues he will not be the same. He used basketball as an outlet to stuff down his issues. That’s why he played so hard and aggressive. This will not be a quick process, he needs to retire, go behind the TNT desk and continue his treatment to get better for the future.
Draymond Green is a hot head, I love how he stands up for his teammates and his passion.. but he’s a NUTCASE 🤣.. He’ll be the reason there’s a “Malice in The Palace” in San Francisco SMH 🤦🏽♂️..
He would've been got that"get right" if the old school players Barkley,Oakley,R Mahorn,Parrish,Jabbar,X McDaniels,Malone,Artest and a few others were playing against him.
The thing that irritates the crap outta me, is that the warriors did nothing about helping Draymond when they were winning championships. For years, theyve downplayed his behavior, denied the severity, and have dodged question after question about his behavior. The warriors had years to get this right, but prioritized championships over the health and safety of Draymond AND the players he has hurt. The fact that the warriors were more upset at who leaked the video than draymond punching poole is still sickening to me.
GSW are 3 years too late in dealing with this issue. They sacrificed the team by letting KD leave due to Draymond’s behavior. They’re reaping what they have allowed to be sown.

It’s not that difficult even if you love the man. He punched someone in the face during a game on purpose, after having a history of assaulting people during games on purpose.
Karl Malone impregnated a 13 year old, he's in the hall of fame. Just think about that
@@RaiderNation327Karl Malone Historian ah mf😂
@@RaiderNation327but in all seriousness, the people running the nba back then, the fans, the sponsors were all different. It was a different world. People weren’t under a microscope like now. Go back further in history and judges used to sentence people to death for witchcraft and enslave other humans. The further back you go the more heinous the acceptable behaviors. I don’t think he should be fired or anything but sit the season out and get some help is what they’re saying.
here is the problem He didn't punch someone in the face during a game. HE SUCKER PUNCHED HIM. If they were squared off, if there was a good reason, then it's a little more understandable and a little more defensible. In this case, he's a sucker punching thug. Pure and simple...
It's clear this year that draymond takes aggression from playing the game too far. If he can't stop the triggers for him to react to aggression then draymond greens career might be over the next time.
Choosing him over Jordan pool was their biggest mistake
Jordan Poole is trash
Why is no one talking about how the GS Warriors organization should be held accountable for the monster they created with Draymond green. He cost them the 2016 Chip. He ran KD out of town, He ran Poole out of town, He’s a habitual nut kicker/puncher. This year alone he stomped on a chest, Choked out someone, and threw a Dray-maker to the face. All European players (Take that how you will). The fact he has changed the team dynamic and has declined as a player, why does the GS organization not run it with a heavier fist when it comes to green.
Another thing not talked about was in the 2022 playoffs how he got ejected from Game 1 against Memphis which could have shifted momentum in the series luckily GS clutched up , and in the Finals when he got into it with Jaylen Brown where he was a tech away from being ejected and possibly suspended for the series
Agree completely. Warriors totally to blame for what Draymond has become. Shame these analysts not seeing that.
Many of these NBA players have such huge egos. They are going to ruin fan support and hurt the game. Gianni’s reaction to a game ball is just another example.
He has to be done! If they let him back in….GUARANTEED HE WILL DO IT AGAIN!
100% correct
Nothing guaranteed actually. You have to think about both perspectives
I agree
Maybe it's time to think about a possible ban. I know SAS won't admit it, but I think Draymond could & should get banned, If he can't get his anger in check.
have him come back to play so he can break rasheed wallace's ejection records. Then they can ban him :)
Come on Perk, Green doesn't have leadership capabilities, he has LOUDERship capabilities.
I'm a huge Warriors fan and I think the suspension is right. Fraymond needs help. This is no different than Ja Morant. If he can't stop destructive behavior even though it is costing him and his team, then he needs some real help dealing with whatever issues are affecting him.
1:05 Windy trying to set a world record for blinking. 😂
Just a thought....Maybe they need to bring back...MARC JACKSON?!?!?!?!
Draymond got exactly what he deserved. This isn't egregious or too much in any way. Hopefully he'll learn.
Obviously he hasn't learned, because he's servicing yet another suspension. The late David Stern would have been much harder of him and on Ja Morant about not 1 but 2 gun instances. $$$ has gone 2 their heads. Not only are the fans let down, the teams are let down too. As 4 Green, he's gonna seriously hurt or kill someone if he doesn't change his ways as well as his conduct. Like the late Michael Jackson sang, "start with the man in the mirror & ask him 2 change his ways.......no message will get any clearer.....he needs 2 look @ himself & make that change'............just my $0.02 as we are all entitled to our opinions.
There is no way around ESPN and its talking heads had been enabled, condoned and defended Draymond Green psychotic actions.
Hitting someone in the temple area like that can knock them out and worst. It takes a fool to want hurt someone like that over getting position. Look at the guy sitting on the bench and his mouth drop wide open looking at that hit by Draymond.
Draymond about to come back with some Rodman hair.
Rodman wasn’t doing that!!!
Has anyone else had these many chances? C'mon now they probably gonna suspend for the year
Draymond was playing well at the beginning of season. Until he had the game he missed due to personal reasons. Since then it’s been downward spiral fast. Wonder if that personal reason has something to do with his actions this season. I’m an optimistic and want to believe in people so I’m imagining that when he comes back he will change the narrative of himself. That’s my hope.
That would be a good hope, unfortunately in these situations things don’t improve they tend to get even worse.
He kicked people in the nuts 🥜 long before he misses a game for personal reasons. Quit tryna defend this donkey
Very much so. Draymond is clearly going through it. When I was deep into my boxing career, occasionally you'd see the fighter who was clearly angry in the ring, and those were basically free wins. In sport, being angry is almost never a positive, and right now he's hurting his play, the Warriors, and himself. I do hope he gets the help he needs, and there can be an intervention to get him back in the right headspace to save his legacy, because what he's accomplished is absolutely incredible and he's too smart and driven to let this be his lasting memory.
@@averyrestless3786bro said boxing career
Draymond had mental issues for years
Jordan. Gobert. Nurkik. When is the union going to start paying attention to these three players as opposed to coddling/enabling Green? The union represents all players, not just Green.
When Carmelo Anthony punched David Lee in the face he got suspended like 20 games
man child. He deserves the season. Over and over.
Draymond can get a Wendy’s endorsement and promote their triple singles
😂😂😂😂
Bruhhh😂
They already hired Zion
😂😂
He can promote sucker punches🍭
Reminds me of peak Rodman, minus the on court production. It's beyond passion or aggression. Man has a sinister streak and actually intends to hurt people. That Turkic hit was a Texas Tornado style right hook, he wound-up that punch from tip-off.
I said last year they shoulda traded Green and kept Poole. I would have traded Green and some picks and got Towns or Miles Turner
Let's talk some Giannis dropping 64 on them dudes. Give Giannis some love
You acting like this the only segment. They did show appreciation in another part of the show
@@seanburrell8159stop crying! You want Giannis to pay for your phone bill?
true d riding to make this about giannis
The "issue" is Draymond is playing in the Wrong era, period. Bring back 90's NBA Basketball.
I wonder what Draymond knows that they don’t want him talking about.
This is GREAT for the NBA!
NBA forever
No it’s not!!! I don’t want to watch Draymond Green!!
@@mikep3455 it's not only I don't want to watch Draymond Green, I want him banned in the NBA!
Draymond has never fought anyone head up
all his incidents his opponents were caught off gaurd
I bet he thinks hes tough lol
But really makes him look weak
Do something about it tough guy
@@Atribecalledsuccess draymond 🍌 rider🤣 I'm so scared gtfo
@@Ssssssssssssssss-y2h you’re the one talking tough ma’am
Draymond green is such a huge voice for san Francisco that he is spread out within nba media. He will be a factor on television for years
Perc you made me proud like you really can’t in here sounding like a real person. Man perk you the one to change the narrative
The very thing that makes Draymond an overachiever and eventual Hall of Famer is the very thing that contributes the most to his issues…confidence , arrogance and a HUGE chip on his shoulder. It’s gotten him this far and it’s hard to convince him otherwise. He feels like he is self made so why change or listen to anyone who asks him to. You live by the sword, you die by the sword…
Nah. He's grown old as we all do, and can't handle it like most of us do, period.
The scary part about this is, he’s married with children. There’s zero way he’s not abusing them. 😮😮😮😮
I remember two dudes in particular when they showed up to playball. Nobody wanted to be on the court. Those two dudes mission was to inflict physical damage to anyone. Guys would pass on a layup if they were under the basket because you would catch a forearm shiver or get tackled.
The reason incidents like this keep happening he’s overly eager to prove his value to the team and in doing such trying to prove himself he ends up doing things like that which is completely unacceptable. Good guy, but he gotta get his stuff together.
Lol good guy? How?
@@skii7602 wym how? do your research he’s not a bad guy just hav a problem the best of us go thru it 💯
@XxRoadRunna2zxX bro, you can't be choking, kicking , punching, slamming players like this guy does. Once someone shows you who they are, believe them. There's no telling how he acts behind closed doors.
no lol. kerr, dunleavy, the players, etc have reiterated over & over how valuable he is to the team before and during this szn. thats not the reason
The problem I have with hypocrite smith is that he said Kyrie Irving was under a contract and by signing a contract with the nets, he was obligated to take that vaccine. Now Draymond is under contract so he obligated to conduct himself as a professional. But he's sad for draymond but take it personally with kyrie. You can't be talking out both sides of your mouth and be respected
He’s bias plus he hate kyrie because he called him a pawn ♟️
TOTALLY RIGHT, I SAID THE SAME AND FEEL THE SAME, SERIOUSLY.
That’s not a good comparison at all bro two different situations..Kyrie was choosing to sit out & not be there for his team by not taking the Vaccine..Draymond is wildin doing his team a disservice but he’s not intentionally sitting out
@@Dreaaddy no I'm talking about the energy he puts in to it if I made 22 million a year I think I could control myself
Hard to help someone who doesn’t think they need help.
Not enough, that is criminal. Guy deserves the chair.
Golden State Warriors could’ve never won their rings without having a player kicking people in their nuts in every playoff series.
Steph & Klay would never get as many open shots as they did without the no hand check rule and kicking in the nuts rule with no repurcussions.
Salty comment. Sounds like you are mad your team got beat at some point 😂
@@svbion He is over the top with that comment but he kinda have a pointe there. They practically had so many open shoots because of his screens which r more suited for NFL than NBA. His dirty plays can fck with people mentally, there wasn't one big series for GSW where he didn't kick, eye poke, punch or pull opposing players. I remember when Dray eye poke Jokic for no reason. If I were on Jokic team, next play Curry would get knee in the ribs or Klay would get elbow in the face. If u r going to hurt r best guy, same is going to happen to your stars. I bet u somebody from GSW would talk to him real quick. In that series against Grizzlies when GP got hurt, it all started with Draymond pulling Brandon Clark to the ground after the foul. And after that Grizzlies started playing like him and GP got hurt, Kerr said after the game: "They broke the code". If any of us started acting like him, we would be in jail or mental institution, yet GSW always had some excuses for his actions. Even after that thing with J Pool, they were more mad about the person who was filming than at him. I hate how many people r trying to play this as "he must be going through some hard times, he needs help". So many people r in jail because they fall in some hard times. Who cares about his hard times, he's trying to hurt people because he can't play on NBA level and now we should all feel sorry for him.
Can we talk about why he’s only picking on Europeans ? Sabonis , Rudy, and Jusuf

Is anyone allowed to simply speculate someone’s off court life like Stephen A.? Or he just feels he has the liberty to come up with those points?
It’s crazy to think, the Duds could have kept KD but instead chose to keep Drayclown. Honestly, would KD have left the opportunity to win several more championships, unless he had a very, very good reason? Enter Drayclown as the reason.
are y'all gonna talk about giannis 64 points or nah cause if it was anyone else it would be all over the media
Man had 30 free throws...and Pacers are horribly defensively
@lukeymccoy4730: He had 30 free throws because the Pacers couldn’t stop him without fouling…
They probably won’t they hate foreign players
He just signed a 4 year 100M deal during the off season. NBA deals are guaranteed so GSW aren’t going to cut him and throw away 100m along with that luxury cap hit.
Green will be docked $153,941 per game if his suspension is fewer than 20 games and $202,922 per game if more than 20 games.
I think The Warriors franchise is coming down to earth and realize they have to accept the reality that they aren’t contenders anymore. And that is being displayed thru Draymond’s actions lately
They need to trade him when he comes back and also klay and rebuild on the fly. Steph has one more year at this level. They ain’t winning another chip so they might as well rebuild now and they spending 400 million payroll too
@@juanio7036
Dray to Milwaukee or Phoenix.
Wiggins to Toronto or Houston
Klay to the Lakers
I’m not sure how all the finances work…what you think? 🤔
He gon be back in 6 games after attending one single anger management session lol 😂😂😂😂
The Warriors has looked the other way a long time,because he gave them that edge.Being the designate enforcer can be hard putting that genie back in the bottle
Draymond Green is hungry he needs the humble pie
Beautiful! Yes, "this is a Village". Always Prior Unity!
I think he should call it a career. If he delves deep to the root of his anger issues he will not be the same. He used basketball as an outlet to stuff down his issues. That’s why he played so hard and aggressive. This will not be a quick process, he needs to retire, go behind the TNT desk and continue his treatment to get better for the future.
Draymond is the last one I want to listen to when I’m watching a basketball game lol.
Ok Mr. Armchair Psychologist.

He would've been got that"get right" if the old school players Barkley,Oakley,R Mahorn,Parrish,Jabbar,X McDaniels,Malone,Artest and a few others were playing against him.

It seems my laptop is broken. Everytime the subtitles say Draymond, i hear 'Karate kid'
perkins has been on point when it comes to this topic
Draymond got rewarded for his negative actions when Golden State paid him this last contract
i love big perk glad he is still at ESPN
The thing that irritates the crap outta me, is that the warriors did nothing about helping Draymond when they were winning championships. For years, theyve downplayed his behavior, denied the severity, and have dodged question after question about his behavior.
The warriors had years to get this right, but prioritized championships over the health and safety of Draymond AND the players he has hurt.
The fact that the warriors were more upset at who leaked the video than draymond punching poole is still sickening to me.
I just realized Brian eyes blink like crazy when he isn't talking
It's all part of the game. Emotions must be tempered.
He not only hit him in the face with a closed fist, he clubbed him, he be clubbing 🎵 🎶 ("Ice Cube Song")
Put "Perkins throwing punches" in the search field and you'll see this dude has no right to talk about anyone.
GSW are 3 years too late in dealing with this issue.
They sacrificed the team by letting KD leave due to Draymond’s behavior.
They’re reaping what they have allowed to be sown.
Greene earned his suspension and I feel nothing for him or Warriors organization and players. They should have handled this years ago.
They funny for showing the punch 😂
Centripetal Force and Angular Momentum lesson!
Dray is the modern day combo of Sheed + Artest
Yep..not just the team for sure
