He’s only underrated because a massive majority of NBA fans are either stupid, or biased. Even Warriors fans turn against him, and they are immediately exposed, to me… but I realize, I’m the kind of Warriors fan that is going up against a new generation of fans… mainly those that loved Jordan Poole, love Kuminga, loved Wiseman… It’s like, yeah all you young people, you can’t appreciate Draymond, because you were a kid when the Warriors dynasty started, and your understanding of basketball isn’t 1/10 of what Draymond knows, so shut up Draymond haters.
It sure is. With his repertoire of Jersey pulls, nutshots, elbows, bonehead plays, punching teamates, stomping on players, moving screens, etc he's a great example of how dirty players can be successful in the modern era.
@@andrewcook1246LOL, soft. Draymond has the ability to play a clean game, but if the other team has a guy that starts to play dirty, he can also do that, too. It’s chess moves. If you don’t like that, you’re soft.
Exactly, I can tell who has a surface level understanding of hoops, if they start saying Draymond is worthless, and if they don’t understand his value. Just like this clown that commented, major strawman, just pointing out the fact that he sometimes makes dirty plays… but every good team has this kind of player… every team has that “DOG” kind of player that will get dirty, that will fight, that will agitate if push comes to shove… but nerds that never played, or soft mf’s that maybe played but never played on the black top, soft af mf’s think everything under the sun is a foul, what a disgrace. Gtfo. That’s soft shit. Draymond would be great in ANY era, because he’s not soft, and he plays with chess moves. The fact that other teams’ fans don’t understand how their getting check mated, doesn’t make Draymond “dirty”, it just makes him smarter than your dirty ass player. So stfu.
Dray is the best defender I have seen in my life time. Remember he is the one that checked the joker when they eliminated Denver in route to their 4 championship
This guy is amazing. Always has been! But the trio with steph klay n dray... that's something else. Not because of their skill... but their belief and heart together. That's so rare in any place.... cheers
People who say Dray is trash dont know basketball. Hes first ballot HOF for sure, and shoulve been top 75 all time along with Klay instead of Harden and Embid which have done nothing!!!
Fun Fact: Team defense has always been more important than on ball defense. The team defense Pippen was hating on is the reason Curry never needed to be a great defender to beat other great scoring point guards. A team defender is disrupting the whole offense and making up for the defensive deficiencies of his teammates. Locking down 1 great scorer isn't going to do anything for you if the other team has 2 great scorers or if their best player isn't a scorer but a facilitator instead who is helping everyone on his team score.
Here is some fact: GSW win titles on defense(Green) more than Offense(Curry). GSW were top 3 defensive teams on all 4 years they captured the titles. They are top 3 offensive teams on only 3 of the 4 years they captures the titles. Year 2022 they were only 16th on offense but 2nd on defense.
Amazing how often you see dudes like scottie be like "you gotta be an on ball defender, not just a team defender" as if the NBA is a series of 1v1s and there's not 8 other dudes out on the floor. This isn't 1995 anymore. Wings and guards in this league are way too skilled in iso for the primary defender to be the thing that stops them from scoring 95% of the time. Your job as the on-ball defender is to force the guy with the ball into the rest of the defense. Dray does that as well as anybody, as well as being the guy you absolutely want most anchoring the rest of the defense off ball.
He's underrated mainly by the casual crowd because he makes himself pretty unlikeable on the court. They look at stats rather than actually watching him play and don't see those finer details that the casual fans can't see.
Shaq’s big ole self was destroying pretty much anyone. So this is just a take that wasn’t well thought out and clearly based on how little you like Dray.
Draymond is one of the most underrated players of all time

@@jdrive03it's curry fans
People's perception of Draymond's game is how I guage their basketball knowledge/understanding.
It sure is. With his repertoire of Jersey pulls, nutshots, elbows, bonehead plays, punching teamates, stomping on players, moving screens, etc he's a great example of how dirty players can be successful in the modern era.
He is a buffoon

@@jdrive03 He's a goon. What exactly was Steven Adams doing to deserve two nutshots lol? Stop with the bs.

MVPs are nothing 😂😂
Underrated player
I been GSW fan since birth and I’m from Oakland but was born in San Francisco so it’s extra special for me 💯

Mark Jackson created the Splash brothers. Draymond has been key to the offense.
The Steve Adams clips really grounds this haha

Wait until we add Giannis in the mix with our core😂 we cooking 🔥
Draymond is an absolute winner. If you don’t like it, turn the other way
“He’s not the guy you put on your best player” 😂 ok
Ive seen dray guard Dame to Jokic and at times clamp them. Scottie bad take.
yo , yo ,yo
Shaq would have destroyed him like Rasheed Wallace said
No
@@JamirHarvey-lj9cv yes

@ l don’t think anybody likes draymund unless you’re a GS FAN , this boy is dirty.
@@mariovalderrama5239 and your team would love to have him
Dude is trash. Okay player on an all time team. Thats it. Saginaw soft
Only because you don't know ball
Nah he is not a hall of famer
He’s definitely a hall or a famer
He could retire rn and would be first ballot
Dray would never become that good of a player if not for Steph
Ignorance.
The other way round
Think you got that backwards splash brothers get no where without dray.
Draymond Green would be a 9th-10th player with a 4 year career if not for being on the warriors. Everyone says it because it's fairly obvious.
Goofy
Draymond is THE single most overrated athlete in the history of any sport
No
Only because you don't know ball😂
If anything most underrated
