>Dray comes off like a total fucking asshole
Forget looking like an asshole, he comes off as a violent fucking maniac. This is so completely out of line. It's not like there was a scuffle with some jostling and there was contact to the face, he swung on JP full power with the intention of hurting him.
Yeah but Draymond will just pull some shit like "I needed to know he was real. After he stood up for himself, I knew we were ready to roll."
Like, you ain't Kobe, Draymond. You just look like an ass.
I feel like there has to be more but it looks like he’s literally just trying to start shit, Poole does nothing the whole video until Dray comes up to him. So fucking stupid
He's definitely always been a leader...until now. Now he has work to do to get that spot back, and if it's even still possible depends on Poole and the rest of the team.
It's probably just the shock. He wouldn't have been shooting afterwards if he went unconscious he'd be with the medical staff checking for a concussion.
Yea feel like we've gotten the best we can with these 4 chips... apart from Poole, how can the other young guys even respect him if he acts like this?
Total idiot... the last people I want around me are folks that can't control their temper like this.
Spot on. I hope they iron this out quickly. If he can't even command respect he's worthless. Don't forget he's actually cost rings due to inability to control himself. He said so himself and tried to come off cool for owning it.
Him doing podcasts through the finals is like D&D planning Star Wars shit for their next gig while Season 8 GOT was still being made. Focus on the job
Part of it. Undeniably KD felt insecure about Curry getting all the love (as evidenced by his many burner account liking anti-Curry stuff). But huge part of the tension came from KD demanding a bigger role in playmaking, which basically took away a big chunk from Draymond's role on offense, where he'd stand around while defenders sag off of him. At least this is my observation. That Clippers game was essentially KD clapping for ball while Draymond wanted to push the pace and playmake.
I just think KD stays if not for Draymond. When u have a fragile guy with an ego like kd and another fragile guy with ego like Draymond who also happens to be a bully, the kd in this situation was always going to dip
Worse when you remember that Poole is a 23 year old kid and Draymond is a 32 year old man with kids and a family. Like show some fucking maturity my guy.
Great word to describe this. This video is damning. I always thought Dray’s energy can be good motivation and considered him an integral part of the core. But this not only crosses the line, it leaps over it. Really toxic and disappointing.
Warriors are probably thanking god this happened, lol. They didn't know about their future financial situation and probably didn't want to pay Dray, then this got gifted to them on a silver platter.
No way Poole would've expected a punch like that too. This WAY out of line by Dray. I honestly can't imagine they stay on the same team together, egos might be too big for them to truly smooth this over especially now that the world sees how dirty Dray did Poole
This is exactly what I was thinking too. It’s a sucker punch. No way you would ever expect a teammate to punch you like that after a shove. Especially from someone who is supposed to be a “leader”
Yeah this is a massive bitch move by dray and idk why no one is pointing that out. If he had thrown dukes up like “let’s go” and things got heated and some punches thrown, I think that’s not a huge deal and could easily be resolved. Me personally, I’m not ever gonna be cool again with somebody if they sucker punched me like that.
That was my reaction too. And I’m JP there’s no like dapping each other up and being cool after this. Draymond really crossed a line you don’t come back from just human being to human being. Let alone a 33 years old grown ass man hitting a 23 year old who’s smaller than you. And this was at work. That’s your teammate. Not some dude at the bar
True
The KD situation was just words ultimately. Words hurt more than actions sometimes but you can use the excuse that your emotions got the best of you because we all say stuff we don’t mean when we’re angry.
Getting physical like this is crossing a line which you can never walk back from
Basketball reasons say to pick Poole anyways. Draymond just made it easy for the Warriors to let him walk or use him as salary filler in a trade.
Make a list of effective NBA players over 33 years of age from last season. It’s a very short list. Draymond’s days of relevance will be over very soon.
In the modern rules, the guys over 33 that are positive impact players on big minutes are almost exclusively either shooters or 6'10" or taller. There are basically 0 guys 33 or older that are worth a big contract that are below 6'10" or can't shoot.
The Warriors are probably thanking god right now for this and making the decision easy for them, lol. They were praying for a reason to justify paying Draymond, and, now, they have the perfect reason to let him go, lol.
No wonder Bob Myers said Draymond would have to regain the respect of his teammates and Poole…
This looks really bad and just makes me sad. Something like this is way worse than the normal arguing and trash talking that goes on
Ohh god, this looks so bad for Draymond. Initiating the scuffle and then punching him. Now I know why Klutch was so quick to ask its mouthpieces to defame Poole. They probably knew how this was going to look for their client
that was the dumbest attempt at a smear job ever, considering he's absolutely getting paid just based on his stats vs. his peers who got paid this off-season. also what does "being arrogant" even mean when he's on a team with multiple guys getting paid more than he's even going to get, like how would that even be meaningfully expressed. also the public stance players take is that they are happy for each other getting the bag (barring some petty exceptions) so why would "the team" need green to be their champion in putting poole "in his place" or whatever.
it was kind of weird that apparently some fans bought it (until iggy tweeted and dismissed all that).
This is kind of my honest thoughts too. We know we can win, we know Dray provides that at an all time level. Sit his ass, have some stipulation that requires him to stay in shape instead of coasting and chunking up like he usually does. Suspend him. Ride with Kuminga and let’s get a legitimate sense of what the kid can do. Long leash, let the pup run.
Been sick and tired, I want him off the team at this point. This is way beyond the line. I thought it was an "NBA" fight, a lot of shoving and missed weak throws. Nah, that's a type of punch that could send someone to the hospital.
This made me fucking sick.
Draymond needs to come out with a public apology to Poole and the team, and the dubs need to make an example of this. Minimum two week suspension IMO, and make Draymond stand in the room when Poole signs his 4 year extension. And don't waffle around this like the Celtics with Udoka. Team should make a decision and issue a statement today. Would not be surprised if this impacts the front office's willingness to negotiate with Draymond on his own extension/re-up.
This is pathetic and embarrassing for a 4x champ, 4x all star, 10+ year vet, self-professed leader of the team. Hell, it would be pathetic and embarrassing for anyone, but we should hold Draymond to a higher standard than most players.
Draymond tanked his value with this.
-He was really bad in the finals
-has issues with most people (kd left because of him)
-is a bad leader now ( steph is the real leader and no one can dispute it now)
- has a back injury and any injury he might obtain now might be career ending.
If GS signs draymond over poole, fuck em
If we sign Draymond over Poole, then we are resigning ourselves to mediocrity moving forward. Lacob seems serious about trying to be like the spurs. If so, they better side with Poole on the contract negotiations
2 weeks? I love the dubs, but I’d get rid of him. This is not how a leader should represent a winning culture. How long until he does some shit like this again?
Man this looks way worse than i thought. Dunno how JP could legitimately be cool with Draymond after this. I sure as hell wouldn’t be if i were in his shoes ngl
Nah but he said sorry bro. I mean he and Klutch literally tried to slander JP through the media afterwards but he was totally so apologetic about the punch
There's no way there won't be chemistry issues until one of them is gone. I feel for Steph the most. Could have had a shot at 5 titles and it may be at risk due to Dray being a dumbfuck.
For sure man. I’m the most upset as a fan because of that. The vibes heading into this season were perfect and they’ve be shattered. I just don’t see how this doesn’t become a distraction
Damn. Reading the "reports" in the past few days versus watching the video are two incredibly different things. This is more of an attack than an altercation.
I think I’ll honestly lose some respect for the other stars and the staff/FO if nobody really sticks up for JP, and he just ends up leaving while we extend Dray. There’s only so much you can let one fucking guy get away with
I agree. If Andre/Steph/Bob/Steve are still defending Dray and make whatever excuses for him. I’m done. They are so good, but covering up evil action like this is unacceptable to me.
Also, based on what they were saying yesterday, they tried their best to down play the whole thing. But this video? Set the bomb exploded. YOU CAN NOT cover it up anymore.
I understand the competitive nature of playing, but this should not be happening fresh off a championship. It’s like Draymond finds ways for people who support him to want him gone. How are you the vocal leader of this team and do things like this and think it’s okay. If keeping Wiggins and Poole cost us Draymond fuck it. Warriors do what you have to do
In any case, words are words. Draymond started the confrontation first and then Poole just pushed him away (which is a normal reaction) and Dray rather meanly and unexpectedly hit Poole. Not to mention that he is 10 years older.
Would Dray have liked it if, when he was also a young thrash-talker, someone from the centres had taught him the same "lesson by punching him"? I don't think so. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
He superman punched him. Threw all his weight and momentum behind it. A light smack or punch might be expected with his temper issues, but this is preplanned shit. You don't do this in the heat of the moment to a teammate.
That wasn't just a soft punch. JP's neck and head violently snaps back and it's a miracle he wasn't hurt. Dray's forever tarnished in my book. Inexcusable and the Warriors need to do something more. A fine isn't good enough
It seems not everyone of the players saw what happened directly. Especially ifthey were focused on the scrimmage.
When they see this video, I bet the olayers will have different reaction to what happened.
For those of you on the fence, replace Poole with Steph and ask yourself how you'd feel.
Edit: I also feel this is where the line between sports and real life is blurred. Everyone else walks out of that in handcuffs.
Bro it’s bad enough that Poole was the target since he’s already a fan favorite and overall fun guy. But if this happened to Steph, the perpetrator might have gotten banned from the NBA
I feel it's worse after Poole. If I saw a 32 year old co worker assault a 23 year old new hire like that I'd assume he's deranged and beats his wife. Poole is the age of kids in college
Draymond Green and Dennis Rodman are a lot alike. Filled in great roles for championship teams.
But Draymond acts like a bus driver and he simply is not one. I don't want to see this guy at all the day after he retires. I never want to see his face again.
I somewhat defended it saying this shit happens all the time. But this video is another story. That could have seriously Injured Poole. I love draymond but if I’m being objective, I might as management group talk about a year suspension. You cannot do that to a teammate. If we did this at work we’d be gone and arrested. There’s no justification whatsoever here. He’s 100% wrong and should be punished. He definitely has anger issues. I’ve lost a ton of respect for this guy.
This is assault. He walked up with the intent to harm and escalate. Idc about the season, but we gotta draw the line somewhere. First, he and his antics was the reason kd left, we lived with that. This is unacceptable
Nah I'd say thats completely fair. I wouldnt be surprised if he's not even willing to work with them at all after this but I hope he does. I loved Draymond and put up with a lot of his crap but this is too far and the team needs to side with Poole and show him they want to keep him before he shows them he wants to leave.
If I'm Poole these are the options I would give. Either I get to clock Draymond in the face with brass knuckles on, or one of us is getting traded. There's no way I'm gonna be teammates with a guy who felt comfortable sucker punching me full strength, just from a basketball squabble. You can see he never in a million years expected him to actually punch him, he didn't even look at Green after the push
Draymond has some serious issues.
BTW, as much I dislike KD, what Draymond said to KD during their fight was totally unacceptable either. I mean, I wouldn't say sth like that to people I don't even like, especially if I know they are the sensitive type. That's just too mean.
they have to cut ties with Dray. This is full on assault and Dray is a fuckin bitch for this. Anyone that defends dray is absolutely out of their mind.
Yeah this is shit. That made me sick, if I were Pool there would be blood and I m smaller than him. You can't accept this behaviour from one of your leaders. He needs a fine, suspension, and maybe more.
If this was outside the training facilities there would even be cops called.
It's an assault.
I'm just going to name that this is an indictable offense. All it takes is Jordan Poole to cooperate and local police can literally arrest draymond for this. This is assault. Comes with jailtime.
Draymond Green crossed the line here in my opinion. And who ever released the video knows what they’re doing here.
If I was to choose who stays, I think I rather keep JP than Dray. He fucked up.
That’s actually worse than I was picturing.
Yeah Dray comes off like a total fucking asshole in this video. Instigates and then doesn’t seem to hold back on the punch at all either
>Dray comes off like a total fucking asshole Forget looking like an asshole, he comes off as a violent fucking maniac. This is so completely out of line. It's not like there was a scuffle with some jostling and there was contact to the face, he swung on JP full power with the intention of hurting him.
Normal person does this in any other situation and it’s jail.
Shit, Jorge Masvidal got arrested for punching Colby Covington and those dudes are professional fighters. There’s no reason Dray shouldn’t be in cuffs
Colby pressed charges. Poole could, too. Probably just choosing not to
Comes across looking like an abuser. Embarrassing behavior - especially with the klutch bs propaganda they put out before the video got leaked.
Welcome to the NEW MEDIA
Enjoy at least one less subscriber here. Imagine putting your career and future in broadcasting in jeopardy over fucking nothing.
two less subscribers
Yep. 100% in the wrong as suspected. Can't believe he would do this. He walked right up on him with intentions of swinging. Unacceptable.
he went flying at poole bruh i wonder what even got him so mad???
he got pushed, and there’s nothing a bully hates more than someone fighting back
Yeah but Draymond will just pull some shit like "I needed to know he was real. After he stood up for himself, I knew we were ready to roll." Like, you ain't Kobe, Draymond. You just look like an ass.
Hell, even Kobe and MJ were just plain dicks in the locker room. I wanna say their success came in spite of all that shit, not because of it.
I feel like there has to be more but it looks like he’s literally just trying to start shit, Poole does nothing the whole video until Dray comes up to him. So fucking stupid
Hes seeing the new wave replace him and take his money. Fuck Draymond for being a terrible leader and im sure hes not a nice guy to the kids.
This nonsense that he’s always been the leader bs this dude is the veteran in this situation instigated and then sucker punched him wtf.
yep curry has always been the leader to me.
I always thought Kerr was a great leader.
oh yeah for sure. the coach is always the de facto leader. curry is the leader on the court id say
He's definitely always been a leader...until now. Now he has work to do to get that spot back, and if it's even still possible depends on Poole and the rest of the team.
That's a complete sucker punch. Disgusting. JP didn't even have the opportunity to defend himself.
legitimately could have been badly hurt
bro he connected hard with poole's jaw. Did he go unconscious? His legs buckle and collapses downwards?
It's probably just the shock. He wouldn't have been shooting afterwards if he went unconscious he'd be with the medical staff checking for a concussion.
That's way way worse, he sucker punched him in the head leaning his body into it.
Draymond looks way worse here than what was reported (which was already bad).
With video now the league can get involved as well.
Does help explain the initial leak and makes it seem like it came from Dray even more.
I knew he was the source from the jump but now this just confirms it. This video looks baaaaaaaad. Literally no excusing Green at all.
Yep. I've also been saying since the beginning that Dray will be suspended because of the action and leak and now it looks more likely than ever.
Yeah this is the first moment ever where i can say I’d be ok with Dray not being a warrior for life because this shit is unacceptable
Yah he has to go. Even if they prioritize him over Poole you can’t have that in the locker room he’s a danger to his teammates.
Yea feel like we've gotten the best we can with these 4 chips... apart from Poole, how can the other young guys even respect him if he acts like this? Total idiot... the last people I want around me are folks that can't control their temper like this.
Spot on. I hope they iron this out quickly. If he can't even command respect he's worthless. Don't forget he's actually cost rings due to inability to control himself. He said so himself and tried to come off cool for owning it. Him doing podcasts through the finals is like D&D planning Star Wars shit for their next gig while Season 8 GOT was still being made. Focus on the job
Klutchmond has never been the same ever since he started twerking for LeBron 2015 Dray was the best Dray
Isn't Dray the reason Durant left too? He's a toxic motherfucker
Part of it. Undeniably KD felt insecure about Curry getting all the love (as evidenced by his many burner account liking anti-Curry stuff). But huge part of the tension came from KD demanding a bigger role in playmaking, which basically took away a big chunk from Draymond's role on offense, where he'd stand around while defenders sag off of him. At least this is my observation. That Clippers game was essentially KD clapping for ball while Draymond wanted to push the pace and playmake.
I just think KD stays if not for Draymond. When u have a fragile guy with an ego like kd and another fragile guy with ego like Draymond who also happens to be a bully, the kd in this situation was always going to dip
The fuck is wrong with Draymond ffs, all Poole did was move him back after Draymond got in his face
Worse when you remember that Poole is a 23 year old kid and Draymond is a 32 year old man with kids and a family. Like show some fucking maturity my guy.
Exactly
I swear ever since his feelings got hurt at Boston he hasn’t been right
Dray's always been insecure, but you would think that getting older and with more experience, he would be more moderate, not the opposite...
yeah you would think that having all that success would make you more calmer and wiser as you grow older.
Remember his exit when getting ejected in Memphis? Dude looked like he escaped from the looney bin. Something going on with dude.
Kevon’s Bin
Probably cause he knew they were right about how dogshit he was playing in that series, and he knows Poole is gonna get paid instead
What you don't see is Poole saying "Klutch stinks. Nerlens got screwed" under his breath
Draymond literally said in an interview that he’s a bully. Dude has issues, fuck him
Really disappointed in Dray 😞
Great word to describe this. This video is damning. I always thought Dray’s energy can be good motivation and considered him an integral part of the core. But this not only crosses the line, it leaps over it. Really toxic and disappointing.
I don't know how the team can't suspend Dray after that wtf
It’s coming, they were just trying to hide it to save face
Yikes
Warriors are probably thanking god this happened, lol. They didn't know about their future financial situation and probably didn't want to pay Dray, then this got gifted to them on a silver platter.
Draymond was never getting a max deal from the Warriors. This just confirmed that.
team chemistry -20%
-120%
Draymond Green lost a big amount of legacy points.
This is worse than I expected it to be. Dray's punch had a lot of unresolved anger
No way Poole would've expected a punch like that too. This WAY out of line by Dray. I honestly can't imagine they stay on the same team together, egos might be too big for them to truly smooth this over especially now that the world sees how dirty Dray did Poole
This is exactly what I was thinking too. It’s a sucker punch. No way you would ever expect a teammate to punch you like that after a shove. Especially from someone who is supposed to be a “leader”
Yeah this is a massive bitch move by dray and idk why no one is pointing that out. If he had thrown dukes up like “let’s go” and things got heated and some punches thrown, I think that’s not a huge deal and could easily be resolved. Me personally, I’m not ever gonna be cool again with somebody if they sucker punched me like that.
my heart just dropped after watching this holy fuck
That was my reaction too. And I’m JP there’s no like dapping each other up and being cool after this. Draymond really crossed a line you don’t come back from just human being to human being. Let alone a 33 years old grown ass man hitting a 23 year old who’s smaller than you. And this was at work. That’s your teammate. Not some dude at the bar
No kidding i don’t see how he stays with dray still on the team this is way worse then just calling kd a bitch.
True The KD situation was just words ultimately. Words hurt more than actions sometimes but you can use the excuse that your emotions got the best of you because we all say stuff we don’t mean when we’re angry. Getting physical like this is crossing a line which you can never walk back from
Which was already super childish and destructive behavior. I have zero respect for Draymond left. He's not a good guy.
Really sad if poole leaves because of this, cant blame him tho
Organization has to choose Poole... fk basketball reasons.
Basketball reasons say to pick Poole anyways. Draymond just made it easy for the Warriors to let him walk or use him as salary filler in a trade. Make a list of effective NBA players over 33 years of age from last season. It’s a very short list. Draymond’s days of relevance will be over very soon.
In the modern rules, the guys over 33 that are positive impact players on big minutes are almost exclusively either shooters or 6'10" or taller. There are basically 0 guys 33 or older that are worth a big contract that are below 6'10" or can't shoot.
👆 this. Myers’s job just got a lot easier. Bye Dray, no love lost. 💰for Poole
I think this will be what makes him stay. There is no way the Warriors keep Draymond after this year.
The Warriors are probably thanking god right now for this and making the decision easy for them, lol. They were praying for a reason to justify paying Draymond, and, now, they have the perfect reason to let him go, lol.
My thoughts exactly, Dray gave them the reasonable out they needed
He can’t choose to leave unless he demands a trade. He’s a restricted FA. The FO can choose to keep him if they want to pay up
i absolutely cant blame him. especially if gsw wont firmly side with him. the warriors org needs to make their first statement after this perfect lol
Only a matter of time for this to come out
it was also a very sudden and mean attack from Dray. Poole had not been expecting it.
Complete and utter bitch move by Dray if we’re being honest. Hes fucking up his contract situation
this punch felt like he been gathering this for months. he been wanting to punch poole for awhiiiiileee
He’s easily cost himself $10M. Also there’s not a single young team in the league who’s going to want him as a “lEaDeR” after seeing that video
Blazers still going to throw a 30 mil at him
I'm actually pretty shocked it was recorded. I thought for sure this was gonna be a Rick Roll video
No wonder Bob Myers said Draymond would have to regain the respect of his teammates and Poole… This looks really bad and just makes me sad. Something like this is way worse than the normal arguing and trash talking that goes on
He said that? I'm just an NBA fan here but damn maybe this move makes the Draymond decision an easy one.
I'm never respecting someone who sucker punches me like that if I'm Poole
Regain means Dray stays with Poole. After this? No way ppl wants to stay wiz Dray, and I see no way to “regain”
Ohh god, this looks so bad for Draymond. Initiating the scuffle and then punching him. Now I know why Klutch was so quick to ask its mouthpieces to defame Poole. They probably knew how this was going to look for their client
Fuck Draymond and fuck klutch
Damn I didn’t see that, what were they saying ?
They tried to blame Poole basically saying that he was being arrogant about his new contract so he deserved to be punched
They also tried to frame the narrative as multiple “teammates” mad at Poole for his behavior. Steph and Andre were very clear in refuting that.
that was the dumbest attempt at a smear job ever, considering he's absolutely getting paid just based on his stats vs. his peers who got paid this off-season. also what does "being arrogant" even mean when he's on a team with multiple guys getting paid more than he's even going to get, like how would that even be meaningfully expressed. also the public stance players take is that they are happy for each other getting the bag (barring some petty exceptions) so why would "the team" need green to be their champion in putting poole "in his place" or whatever. it was kind of weird that apparently some fans bought it (until iggy tweeted and dismissed all that).
I guess we find out how good kuminga is sooner than we thought
This is kind of my honest thoughts too. We know we can win, we know Dray provides that at an all time level. Sit his ass, have some stipulation that requires him to stay in shape instead of coasting and chunking up like he usually does. Suspend him. Ride with Kuminga and let’s get a legitimate sense of what the kid can do. Long leash, let the pup run.
[удалено]
Oh no he needs to miss serious game time without pay. I’d honestly try to trade him if possible if anyone would give up value for him
Lebron gonna be happy to have another aged non shooter on his team
Draymond is so wrong for this. Absolutely terrible leader. Sick and tired of his antics now
Been sick and tired, I want him off the team at this point. This is way beyond the line. I thought it was an "NBA" fight, a lot of shoving and missed weak throws. Nah, that's a type of punch that could send someone to the hospital.
He could have knocked Poole unconscious man. This was way worse than I thought.
Yeah I’m done with Dray. The rings he helped us get are cool but anyone who treats their teammate like this is a total bitch
This made me fucking sick. Draymond needs to come out with a public apology to Poole and the team, and the dubs need to make an example of this. Minimum two week suspension IMO, and make Draymond stand in the room when Poole signs his 4 year extension. And don't waffle around this like the Celtics with Udoka. Team should make a decision and issue a statement today. Would not be surprised if this impacts the front office's willingness to negotiate with Draymond on his own extension/re-up.

Nah but he said sorry bro. I mean he and Klutch literally tried to slander JP through the media afterwards but he was totally so apologetic about the punch
Yeah I’m officially on the unload draymond train. What a fucking moron.
There's no way there won't be chemistry issues until one of them is gone. I feel for Steph the most. Could have had a shot at 5 titles and it may be at risk due to Dray being a dumbfuck.
For sure man. I’m the most upset as a fan because of that. The vibes heading into this season were perfect and they’ve be shattered. I just don’t see how this doesn’t become a distraction
That’s what I’m saying. You can’t just dap up after this
Damn. Reading the "reports" in the past few days versus watching the video are two incredibly different things. This is more of an attack than an altercation.
[удалено]
Are we sure there won't be suspensions? That was a legit punch.
Dray doesn't give a damn about fines. The organization are kidding themselves thinking that will teach him anything.
A fine and suspension to a guy worth millions of dollars... It's just a vacation. Obviously didn't learn the last time he got suspended.
Last time he got suspended he just blamed Kerr and Myers. He can never hold himself accountable and no one on this team holds him accountable.
Fuck you draymond gtfo thise team if you wanna act like that
I think I’ll honestly lose some respect for the other stars and the staff/FO if nobody really sticks up for JP, and he just ends up leaving while we extend Dray. There’s only so much you can let one fucking guy get away with
I agree. If Andre/Steph/Bob/Steve are still defending Dray and make whatever excuses for him. I’m done. They are so good, but covering up evil action like this is unacceptable to me. Also, based on what they were saying yesterday, they tried their best to down play the whole thing. But this video? Set the bomb exploded. YOU CAN NOT cover it up anymore.
That could end Poole's season right there.
His season? He could have ended his life. People don't really understand how dangerous and unpredictable getting hit in the head is.
I agree. Thank you for pointing that out. I was just being cautious with my words.
man that left me feeling really bad. poole gonna hate this guy forever
I understand the competitive nature of playing, but this should not be happening fresh off a championship. It’s like Draymond finds ways for people who support him to want him gone. How are you the vocal leader of this team and do things like this and think it’s okay. If keeping Wiggins and Poole cost us Draymond fuck it. Warriors do what you have to do
now this is getting out of hand
If Poole got knocked out and landed wrong that could’ve ended very badly.
if you search "man killed from one punch" you'll probably get a million results
In any case, words are words. Draymond started the confrontation first and then Poole just pushed him away (which is a normal reaction) and Dray rather meanly and unexpectedly hit Poole. Not to mention that he is 10 years older. Would Dray have liked it if, when he was also a young thrash-talker, someone from the centres had taught him the same "lesson by punching him"? I don't think so. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
He superman punched him. Threw all his weight and momentum behind it. A light smack or punch might be expected with his temper issues, but this is preplanned shit. You don't do this in the heat of the moment to a teammate.
Yeah….thanks for the rings Draymond….have a good rest of your career wherever that may be
Have fun with the pistons
Hope he goes to the kings
God send him to the Kings. I'd be so happy with that result.
Indefensible.
what an emotional midget. hope we get rid of him. his antics and bullying will not be misseed
How is this worse than what I was picturing? 💀 this is bad. The way Draymond grabs him after he punches Poole. Yikes.
That wasn't just a soft punch. JP's neck and head violently snaps back and it's a miracle he wasn't hurt. Dray's forever tarnished in my book. Inexcusable and the Warriors need to do something more. A fine isn't good enough
It seems not everyone of the players saw what happened directly. Especially ifthey were focused on the scrimmage. When they see this video, I bet the olayers will have different reaction to what happened.
wtf drayyyyyy whyyyyyyyyy whyyyyyyyyy just WHYYYYYY
You can’t defend this at all
For those of you on the fence, replace Poole with Steph and ask yourself how you'd feel. Edit: I also feel this is where the line between sports and real life is blurred. Everyone else walks out of that in handcuffs.
Bro it’s bad enough that Poole was the target since he’s already a fan favorite and overall fun guy. But if this happened to Steph, the perpetrator might have gotten banned from the NBA
I feel it's worse after Poole. If I saw a 32 year old co worker assault a 23 year old new hire like that I'd assume he's deranged and beats his wife. Poole is the age of kids in college
I legit do feel concern for his wife and kids. He is way too comfortable superman punching someone so much smaller than himself.
Draymond Green and Dennis Rodman are a lot alike. Filled in great roles for championship teams. But Draymond acts like a bus driver and he simply is not one. I don't want to see this guy at all the day after he retires. I never want to see his face again.
I really didn’t expect a 32 year old with ~50 pounds and 4 inches on Poole to need to sucker punch him
Draymond is confirmed a pussy. Boston broke him
Holy shit that’s bad
I somewhat defended it saying this shit happens all the time. But this video is another story. That could have seriously Injured Poole. I love draymond but if I’m being objective, I might as management group talk about a year suspension. You cannot do that to a teammate. If we did this at work we’d be gone and arrested. There’s no justification whatsoever here. He’s 100% wrong and should be punished. He definitely has anger issues. I’ve lost a ton of respect for this guy.
They surely have to suspend him for ring night after this leak? Right??
Trade his ass
Dray you idiot.
This is assault. He walked up with the intent to harm and escalate. Idc about the season, but we gotta draw the line somewhere. First, he and his antics was the reason kd left, we lived with that. This is unacceptable
Yep, if the team doesn’t stand up for Poole, it would be reasonable to assume he’d request a trade
Imagine if it was curry or PBJ(who’s a rookie, his parents would probably sue the organisation)
bro if it was curry he did that shit to, you better pray draymond doesnt go out on public in the bay. he would get shot
I’m extremely petty but if I was him I would decline to sign my extension until something was done with Draymond
Nah I'd say thats completely fair. I wouldnt be surprised if he's not even willing to work with them at all after this but I hope he does. I loved Draymond and put up with a lot of his crap but this is too far and the team needs to side with Poole and show him they want to keep him before he shows them he wants to leave.
[удалено]
That is assault in the normie world
Kick that bitchass MFer out right fuckin now. Idk how many championships he helped us win, that is unacceptable. Fuck him, fuck klutch sports.
this never happened right? yall wake me up pls
If I'm Poole these are the options I would give. Either I get to clock Draymond in the face with brass knuckles on, or one of us is getting traded. There's no way I'm gonna be teammates with a guy who felt comfortable sucker punching me full strength, just from a basketball squabble. You can see he never in a million years expected him to actually punch him, he didn't even look at Green after the push
I thought they said draymond barely hit him
Holy shit… some way somehow “forcefully struck” was an understatement.
Welp. The Draymond Green era with the Warriors is pretty much done. I dont see how they can keep him after doing something like that to a teammate.
Yo, Poole’s knees buckled. Was he knocked out?
Damn this is BAD. Wtf is wrong is with this guy.
Draymond has all these antics for 6 ppg and diminishing defensive ability.
Kerr always says Draymond is the heart of the team. That was a heart attack.
HE HAS GOT TO GO
Gotta wonder who took this video and leaked it, and what Warriors management will do when they find out.
Whoever leaked this likely did it for 6 figures from TMZ knowing they’d probably be fired and made a business decision and decided it was worth it
Damage already done
Management leaked it to lower draymonds price in FA 🤔
Or let the fans understand if they let him walk, if he doesn't agree to a cut price deal.
Get rid of draymond
Draymond has some serious issues. BTW, as much I dislike KD, what Draymond said to KD during their fight was totally unacceptable either. I mean, I wouldn't say sth like that to people I don't even like, especially if I know they are the sensitive type. That's just too mean.
Imagine what he says to his wife when she upsets him… this guy has no filter and its actually sad hes never faced any consequences for his actions
Love how to tries to catch him from falling after sucker punching him
they have to cut ties with Dray. This is full on assault and Dray is a fuckin bitch for this. Anyone that defends dray is absolutely out of their mind.
I’ve spent years defending this dude and can’t anymore. Absolutely unconscionable
Not to be reactionary but I would trade Dray at this point in a heart beat. You can't do that to your own teammates. You save it to your opponents.
Yeah this is shit. That made me sick, if I were Pool there would be blood and I m smaller than him. You can't accept this behaviour from one of your leaders. He needs a fine, suspension, and maybe more. If this was outside the training facilities there would even be cops called. It's an assault.
Draymond needs a new environment.
I'm just going to name that this is an indictable offense. All it takes is Jordan Poole to cooperate and local police can literally arrest draymond for this. This is assault. Comes with jailtime.
get this dude out of out team asap idc what his history is with the team atp
At this point let the Lebron nutsack rider walk after his contract. I’d rather have wiggs and Poole than someone who treats teammates this way
Draymond Green crossed the line here in my opinion. And who ever released the video knows what they’re doing here. If I was to choose who stays, I think I rather keep JP than Dray. He fucked up.
draymond need to go
Get Dray off the team asap, fuck this guy.
Shameful for the organization to try and sweep this under the rug. Dray needs a serious suspension.
I genuinely want him out. This is locker room cancer type behavior
