[Draymond Green] on De’Aaron Fox: “I’ve lost a lot of respect for guys over the years in the playoffs… and then there are some you gain respect for… guys you know are cut from the same cloth — and Fox is one of those guys.”

Nice to see Fox get the respect and I think he deserves it. He played well and guarded Curry for a good portion of the series.
why have we suddenly rehabilitated draymond
i’m going to need a full list of those guys he lost respect for on the next podcast
De’Aaron Fox got that dawg in him. Absolutely unstoppable. Stone cold killer on both sides of the floor. Absolutely Fearless.
I hope to never face the Sacramento Kings in playoffs again unless it is WCF
Draymond Green talking about losing respect for players is hilarious.
I kinda believe him. He didn’t try to kick Fox in the dick even once.
Honestly, Sacramento might be my second favorite team now.
I’ve been a LeBron fan since he came into the league, regardless of team. But how the Kings were playing the last few games? Fox might be my guy once LeBron retires
He was pretty klutch.
ESPN Headline:
Draymond – “I’ve lost a lot of respect for guys over the years in the playoffs … Fox is one of those guys”
Anyone want to guess De’Aaron Fox’s agent?
Other player’s Draymond respects? John Wall, Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Zach Levine…
btw he talkin about dillon brooks on the first part
All I heard was I love Klutch
Draymond drives me nuts sometimes but then he can also do this thing where he says something very profound in a very articulate way and it’s so redeeming to all his other Bull shit
“If Fox was on my team, I wouldn’t even punch him in the face”
Cut from the same Kloth?
Tristan thompson in shambles
It’s crazy because this is the Draymond most people choose to disregard. He has a love and passion for the game and admittedly he’s over the top sometimes but he gives props where they are due
The classic compliment-yourself-while-complementing-another
Dude a superstar
Draymond has always liked Fox. He even had him on his podcast before the season and was talking him up.
Fox getting a wide open three or mid range shot still haunts me. He’s a bad man.
Fox deserves all of it. He’s a baller
Been a big fox fan since he gave that interview while crying with bam when they lost in the sweet sixteen, dude has heart
Draymond losing respect for people is….something
Kings fans confused feelings
Fox has been really good for the past 3-4 years, but the Kings haven’t been real contenders until this year. This is what winning can do for star players’ reputation. When Fox came out Kentucky, I saw a lot of John Wall in his game — SUPER fast, and shifty agility with lightning fast acceleration. Thankfully he’s stayed healthy (relatively), and now the team around him is good and winning. Wall was in a weak eastern conf making the playoffs, and yes you saw him do well, but he was hurt a lot of the time, and hasn’t ever recovered fully.
​
The Kings have a really bright future, and a strong foundation of guys. Fox, Sabonis, Murray should be in Sac for years to come, and hopefully Mike B too.
I am really excited to see what trajectory Fox takes his career from now on. I’ve never liked any of these 2015 onward kids (Towns, Tatum, Ingram, Book, Luka, etc.) as much as Fox: you can’t watch him play and think any bad thing about him. Wish we could trade him for Poole for the rest of these playoffs.
He’s been a Fox guy all season
It felt like fox was making all the important momentum shots. From middy to those annoying dagger 3s
