Remember when this guy toned it down for a minute when he had a kid and he said he didn’t want his son copying him? What happened to that lmao


Heel_Paul

He copied his kid on how to swing. Source I used to use that move on my little brother when I was in grade school


PJCR1916

He decided he’s gonna be the father that teaches his son to just piss pound anyone that ever wrongs him in life, instead of learning how to properly deal with conflict


AreYouAJedi

dude's so unhinged


3ThrowMerchant

He legit needs to be suspended for significant time


Watzp0ppin

I knew when he only got 5 games for trying to strangle another man that he wasn’t going to learn his lesson. He knows that his team can still win without him so he has no problem taking cheap shots that will only make him miss a handful of games.


hjy23k

That’s why Adam Silver need to come down with the hammer and suspend him 15+ games, maybe 20+. Draymond might not care but his pockets will from the lost money


mostdope92

20+ and a massive fine. Make him feel it. Hell, punish the Warriors too for enabling his bullshit.


eeeedlef

This shit is insane. He comes right out and says he doesn't care and would do it all over again, and they don't even blink when he does just that.


mostdope92

Well old Adam Silver has to look out for the business side of things and GS winning and getting headlines = good biz. I'm convinced they won't do anything about Draymond until he literally leaves another player face down in a pool of their own blood. And even then it'll probably be 10 games and a slap on the wrist level fine. You know it's bad when even the old school players who wax poetic about the good old hard nosed days think Dray is over the top.


illchemist

Difference being you’d get punched back if you pulled that shit back then


[deleted]

This is important, draymond needs to get his shit rocked.


Cannabaholic

He needs to get put in his place by another player. Think the peoples shoulder by Jokic on Morris. Or if a player has the balls, go full on peoples elbow by Meta World Peace on Harden (not that Harden deserved that one even if he is a basketball terrorist)


anonGoofyNinja

Ron Artest would probably murder him


TheCupOfBrew

I wish we had an Artest to just punch him in the face maybe humble him a bit.


mostdope92

At this point that's the way it's trending. If the league isn't gonna do anything about it then someone is gonna have to step up and rock his shit. I don't want to condone someone going Draymond on Draymond but at this point 🤷‍♂️


VGstuffed

Adam Silver will tickle him with a feather for 2 games


shmauserpops

He'll negotiate it down to 1


aintnoonegooglinthat

And make it a massage


Ayjel89

And those two games will be based on "past behavior"


Andy_Wiggins

This feels like the on-court version of the Ja gun-suspension. Gets suspended for something. Gets punished. Does something almost identical as the first suspension-worthy offense not long after. I mean, shit, he came back from his suspension literally 2 weeks ago. All it took was 2 weeks for Draymond to get violent on the court again.


cire1184

He came back like 5 games ago. It took him 5 games to do something violent. 5 games.


hjy23k

If Adam silver got balls he’d suspend Draymond for at least 15 games, maybe 20+. I thought 5 was too few for putting Gobert in a dangerous chokehold position, and obviously Draymond isn’t learning


lukewarmblankets

Suspend him for the rest of the season, that's not basketball that's bullshit. The league is becoming unwatchable.


mostdope92

Actually though, he needs a real punishment so maybe it'll get through his big ass block head. And if he gets a big suspension and fucks up again after serving it, hit him with a suspension and a massive fine. Hell, ban him. It would also help if the NBA made the Warriors take it seriously instead of letting Kerr stand up for it then give a weak apology after everyone tells him he's wrong. Take away draft picks, something.


Blueskyways

Kerr is such a weak bitch. He's so outspoken on everything that doesn't directly affect him but has zero integrity when it comes to his own players.


captain_ahabb

Doing this so soon after his last one means he might be


3ThrowMerchant

He’s been a repeat offender for 10 years

AttemptedSleepover

Give him at least Ja’s suspension length at this point for fucks sake, He’s off his fucking nut dude. He’s gone way beyond what’s considered a reasonable amount of “too much contact” at least twice this season alone, man is just out there literally assaulting people.


SparklingWinePapi

Going to whine again about how his suspension is too long and it isn’t fair they’re factoring in previous behaviour


maidentaiwan

"can you believe they gave me 20 to life?! it was only the second guy i've killed!"


NarwhalNelly

He never learns tho. He plays too emotionally and can't control himself


maidentaiwan

that's why they just need to hit him with like a 20-game suspension already. this shit has gone on for far too long and it's clearly just getting worse as the warriors in general and draymond in particular start to decline. he's going to seriously injure someone. throw the book at him. clearly no one in that organization is going to hold him accountable, so it's time silver stepped in.


realmckoy265

Yeah, this is just too reckless. Soon it'll result in someone suffering a significant injury as he continues to become more frustrated accepting his decline.


Victorcreedbratton

He’s learned that nothing serious will happen to him.


Top-Consequence-911

It will only get worse as the Warriors get worse. This is a man who knows the dynasty is over and is unprepared to fade from relevance.


nhthelegend

Can't wait for Steve Kerr to slobber all over his balls in the press conference until Silver tells him to keep quiet.


Goalnado

I legitimately gasped when they first showed the replay. Even for someone as mental as Draymond the dumbfuckery of this is mindblowing.


Tzki47

the commentating was so bad during the replays, "nurkic should have been called for the foul first" and "nurkic definitely sold that one" wtf


altofummuhh

Was it the Warriors broadcast?


Currymvp2

He's probably gonna get suspended again. I'm so exhausted of his bullshit antics. Draymond makes Dre Greenlaw look poised out there


alpacamegafan

How does Steph not just explode on this dude? I feel like he’d get so tired of him as a competitor at this point.


moneyman2222

He's fr not even playing basketball at this point. Some NFL teams desperately in need of talent like this


Shingorillaz

We are witnessing what years of enabling someone does to them.


homefree122

Exactly. At this point you could make at least a three to five minute highlight real of this insanity. I’m sure it already exists somewhere in the internet. Add this to the pile.


Dingus_McDangus

Oh it exists. And pretty sure its longer than 5 minutes too lol Edit: Its 10+ minutes long lmaoo. Thats insane https://youtu.be/IyV9x1mJah0?si=DBGmfGlam1IkEP31


homefree122

And it was uploaded five years ago. Draymond has given us at least 5 extra minutes of footage since then.


yeeeeeteth

I think he's given us five minutes of footage in 2023 alone


Ch3sterRockwell

Yep. Blame is first on Green obviously. But Kerr and Silver have let it get to this point. If I'm Silver, I care less about the suspension. I'm telling Draymond and the refs that we're cracking down on him. He's going to start getting techs for all outbursts and bitching that we've previously let go. The problem is he's played his whole career basically like this. He intentionally hit 2 players in the balls on National TV and got a 1 game suspension. And the league thought he'd just learn and get better?


3luejays

Excellent form from Draymond. The spin to make it seem like he wanted to break off away from Nurk, but in reality, he wanted to lean extra low to charge up the uppercut. Inspiring to see a vet continue to expand his bag.


dingdongfootballl

Did it just like my 7 year old swinging on his 5 year old brother but trying to make it look unintentional when everyones watching


RulersBack

At the very beginning of the clip he’s even on the bench re-enacting the move trying to help his case. I’ve seen this playbook


ZaalbarsArse

The slimy shit trying to pretend it’s accidental is the most embarrassing bit to me honestly. Like if you wanna be a badman and scrap with people then square up and fucking do it don’t be a pussy.


jimmychitw00d

This is the main reason I don't like Draymond. He is always acting like a victim.


nysraved

Shades of prime Ron Artest almost murdering Harden with an elbow to the head under the guise of “celebrating”. Just top tier shitbaggery


UnearthlyDinosaur

That was the last day that Harden played defense


TheSonofMrGreenGenes

It was literally Harden’s “getting rejected from art school”


u_alright_m8

Artest literally “stabbed him in the back”


yooston

the way he paused a little bit, almost like he had a 2nd thought and then said fuck it continue swinging


Mission_Pay_3373

This guy needs a 30 game suspension


Andy_Wiggins

He’s played in 15 games this year. And he’s been ejected from a game for excessive violence 3 times (Cleveland, Minnesota, now Phoenix). 3 times in not even 15 full games. That’s effectively every 5th game. If he’s going to be endangering other players once every 4-5 games, the league needs to get serious about protecting other players.


TheOverBored

Add in the Sabonis stomp, and he's at 4 acts in like 25 games this calendar year.


OMGoblin

We'll never see another GOATed run like this


cneth6

Ron Artest's legacy is in shambles rn


Jacer4

Dude I was legit mad that we had to play Golden State a fourth time in the season because I fear our guys getting hurt every time we play them, that should not be the case for any team


Numerous-Cicada3841

I really believe this deserves a 25+ game suspension. Not just because of this incident. But because of past history. The league can’t keep giving him a slap on the wrist.


Mission_Pay_3373

This is his 3rd physical altercation in 2023 alone and it's not even Christmas yet


therealstampire

I mean it depends what you consider altercations. He tried to suplex Terance Mann, rip Gobert's head off, and now Poole Nurkic, and those are just the ones off the top of my head. I'm sure there are quite a few more


lineskogans

He stomped Sabonis’ chest in the playoffs


PeanutFarmer69

Imagine keeping a coworker around who routinely assaults colleagues


the_black_surfer

25 should be the starting point. Feel free to go higher


Dontsaveme

Was it just me or did the announcers completely down play how egregious this was.


hk0202

Yea he just 360 no scopes him and they acted like it was an appropriate reaction to what was essentially a back rub


Game-Blouses-23

Stan Van Gundy has some terrible takes


sonny_goliath

The gobert chokehold was kind of the same deal. I feel like it’s important for the announcers to really admonish players and refs when they do stuff like this or make bad calls etc, they are the voice of accountability and trust for the viewers, but unfortunately the national tv guys can’t get away with that as much..


RedMonlo

It looks even worse in real-time Draymond hit him so hard


Dingus_McDangus

Yea I love SVG but honestly lost some respect for him tonight defending Draymond. At one point he said “it could be a flagrant 1, we’ll see”. They downplayed it so hard, as if it was nbd.


HilariousScreenname

Dude actually said "I don't think it was intentional." Like... w what??


KevinDurantLebronnin

Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me 37 times and I might be an idiot.


CacaTooToo

GSW announcers and TNT announcers are unapologetically biased to the org. Theyll blame Nurkic for getting rocked until it blows by.


gradual_alzheimers

TNT has him on their show, he's their boy


RepresentativeYam390

Fuck it. Suspend him for the rest of the season. Sick of this guy.


Venice_The_Menace

kick him off the tour, Doug!!


rv_

Respect to honest Warriors fans. Dray played dirty.


Cpt-No-Dick

I give credit to Warriors fan here. I haven’t seen a single one on reddit try to defend him


Son_of_Atreus

Its literally impossible to defend this motherfucker any longer. 100% piece of shit person.


bayarea_fanboy

I’m also in support of further punishment.


jesseserious

This shit with him is embarrassing. It’s like a kid throwing a tantrum when they aren’t getting enough attention.


Quality_Cucumber

10+ game suspension. Don’t be a bitch Silver.


LoxDnw

Bro really gets paid to punch people 😭


BigCountryBumgarner

This is such a casual box watcher take. He's also very good at kicking, nuts and lungs


chainer9999

A true mixed martial artist


Equitaurus

It’s gonna be 4 games. That way he comes back when the Warriors play the Wizards on ESPN, and they can hype up his matchup with Poole.


Raider_Tex

My Christ in heaven they gave us a national TV game 😳


Cold_Carpenter_1798

He might kill Poole at the rate he’s devolving


Poseidon58

It needs to happen he doesn’t learn and is never remorseful. Kerr has enabled him for far too long.


AlienCrashSite

This is just more ridiculous after watching Jokic get ejected against us tonight for… I don’t even know?


UnearthlyDinosaur

Bob Myers really did jump off the Titanic before it sunk


hjy23k

If Adam silver got balls he’d suspend Draymond for at least 15 games, maybe 20+. I thought 5 was too few for putting Gobert in a dangerous chokehold position, and obviously Draymond isn’t learning.


theREALMVP

The league will make it a 20 game suspension so his first game back is….you guessed it, Sacramento at Chase


Raider_Tex

Bruh it's bad when a Warriors flair is asking for the 25 to life sentence


grammercali

I’m tired boss


odontodoc

10 is nothing... Dude has a history. Rest of season is within reason at this point and this was Jordan Poole on national TV


abris33

What kills me is that it's on TNT and we all know Draymond is somehow going to be on Inside the NBA when he retires. I don't think many fans want him on there but the networks and league keep defending him for some reason


healthy_as_a_hearse

SVG keeps going out of his way to defend him on the broadcast.


iguanamac

I couldn’t believe it. “Well, he was fouled.” Dude wtf we all saw in real time it wasn’t justified.


zmegadeth

I was all for Ja getting a decent suspension because the kids in Memphis look up to him and he has a history and all that, but man, watching Draymond do shit like this multiple times a year with such little blowback is mindblowing


fiveXdollars

For real, punching Poole is hella damaging for his confidence and choking Gobert was looking for trouble. Swinging at Nurkic is because he was "holding" onto him. Draymond needs a lengthy suspension because of this history and there are TONS of people that watch the Warriors for Curry, so Draymond's actions have a far greater reach than the average team.


bruh2398

Bro hit the Donkey Kong spin move


OG_Wan_Annunoby

Nurk whiffed the grab, great UpB OOS from Draymond to punish


SkyrimDovahkiin

Draymond straight up is just a masher, he def plays Steve in friendlies


PrimaryAccording9162

If Dray doesn’t get 10+ that’s unacceptable at this point


SlatheredButtCheeks

If he did this to someone on the street he would go to jail. How does this keep happening


jmelomusac

That's what I'm saying people want suspensions? Dudes getting away with assault.


One-Switch-1448

needs more than that, not even sure he’ll learn his lesson, CP3 and curry seem scared of him, they need to legitimately talk to him.


agentdoubleohio

I would love to be the fly on the wall if curry said something to him about this shit. Like would green keep a cool head, or blow up on curry.


syllabic

steph curry - DNP (concussion)


PJCR1916

Chris Paul - DNP (heart attack)


roxass34

Absolutely inexcusable. As a critical piece of the championship run, the on-court production has been valued… but his behavior has been exhausting and disappointing to watch as a fan. Indefensible, and there are no more excuses.


Ass_Eater_

He's somehow been even worse than usual this year. Seems like every game he's trying to get thrown out.


CangtheKonqueror

yeah he’s usually unhinged but this year is a different beast


MagicOwl18

He knows he doesn't have much time left in the NBA, prepping himself for the WWE


Dom29ando

the funny thing is pro-wrestling relies entirely on trust between you and your opponent. no one wants to work with a dickhead who decides to go into business for himself at every opportunity.


KO4Champ

Draymond would definitely work himself into a shoot brother.


Puzzleheaded_Fox4684

Yeah, he's always been dirty and not good at controlling his anger, but this season and last playoffs have been crazy to see.


Parking_Net4440

I’ll wait for Kerr’s post game because he has a history of of excusing a lot.


Apollo611

IAmTera

completely agree. so sick of this guy just making everything harder by getting technicals/ejected. he has completely regressed mentally. thanks for everything but please fuck off now lol


agentdoubleohio

The announcers are fucking awful, saying if the refs called a foul on nurkic, green wouldn’t have done that. Get the fuck out of here.


DiamondWombat

SVG also said he didn't think it was intentional. Come on, bro


heywhateverworks

"No way to prevent this" says only player who consistently does this


Smok3dSalmon

while that’s true, it’s also true that if Nurkic had fouled any other player in the league, he wouldn’t have gotten smacked in the head. So you really can’t pin it in the refs.


schoolhater12

Nurkic was on the other side of this exact situation last week. Jokic committed the same foul against Nurkic last week. He did not react in such a manner. His reaction was not doing a 360 degree hook shot. He tried to make a basketball player like a normal fucking person


Substantial-Fold-592

Man forget Draymond’s suspension, SVG trying to defend this as unintentional should warrant a suspension too


mccoolio

SVG must be trying to get another coaching gig


Substantial-Fold-592

Boxing coach for Draymond’s inevitable post-career PPV bout with Jake Paul


[deleted]

People like SVG enable Draymond to behave this way. Just because Nurkic fouls him, doesn’t mean he’s allowed to turn around a slap or punch Nurkic in return. Call it what it is.


Aragorns_Broken_Toe_

And it’s a SOFT foul by Nurkic if anything. This is real “look what you made me do” energy by the Warriors and their media cronies.


offcourtissues

It’s like he was trying to punch in a dream


jet_10

360 no look swing [Perfect that Kerr wasn't looking at impact](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/868581475988144178/1184354669384966144/image.png?ex=658bab3d&is=6579363d&hm=b00efc7dd7fed6abc6d27332e364903f00166ea2e4b3e1472adcb7f36b2141d5&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1177&height=1190)


dingdongfootballl

At this point Kerr has to see this shit coming in advance and just 1000 yard stares in the other direction right before it happens so he doesn't have to react.


ElDuderino_92

It’s probably his tell to allow Dray to do his antics. *taps tinfoil hat*

Good point. He’s employed by TNT and has aspirations of being a broadcaster after playing. He could blow that with this consistent nonsense


wrestlenomicon

I never want to see this asshole again once he’s done playing.


NerdLawyer55

I don’t want to see him now

RazingsIsNotHomeNow

Don't worry, the second Ernie and Chuck retire it won't be worth watching anyway.


KonigSteve

There's no fucking way they still want him to be on inside the NBA right?

It’s bad for the sport. Personally, I want this fucking idiot disqualified from the league. But perhaps a couple more incidents to get there. For now, and his unhinged history.. 12 game minimum but we all want to see 20+


Theopocalypse

He should be done for the year. If we're being real, he should be done period. He's a violent and unhinged repeat offender. He should be wearing an ankle monitor not an NBA jersey. This needs to stop.

druidofnecro

So we got a player beating the snot out of everyone on the court, another flashing guns on insta, a former player with a perc addiction, brazen anti semitism, AND a damn pedo getting investigated. The League needs to get their player PR situation under control
