  1. They should learn fromTony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Their humility and sacrifice allowed Kawahi to develop into a star.

  2. bear2bebull

    Stop this. They along with Curry are the culture. This was never going to be a Timmy Duncan Spurs culture of professionalism and humility. This is a punch you in the mouth, shimmy on you and boast about it culture.

  3. FallacyFrank

    I’m really starting to despise our fan base lol

  4. The-Truer-Facts

    Draymond has fs, but Klay just wants to shoot and play his game. You can’t blame him for that if you don’t like it, blame those who didn’t hold him accountable. I believe they’ve held him accountable this season and I can’t say he’s been really selfish.

  5. slavicmaelstroms

    I agree about Draymond…not sure about the Klay part tho.

  6. draconianRegiment

    Who the fuck is this guy? Maybe they have hurt the culture and maybe they haven’t, but those are our guys until they hang them up. On the team or not.

    Draymond punched Poole and they were more concerned with ring night and who released the video.

    I don’t think the team recovered from the team essentially allowing one teammate to attack another without any negative consequences.

  8. imminentjogger5

    Klay, I think has come to some form of self realization after his talk with Kerr and will be better. We have yet to see if Draymond will evolve.

  9. Delete this crap man. They are dub culture wtf. Lmao.

    JD is a know it all who has never touched a basketball in his life. Him and the 95.7 crew are full of hot take redditors

  11. Klay last night:

    > **Question:** Is there something you guys can do to help lift Andrew Wiggins?
    >
    >**Klay’s answer:** I just remind him who he is. I mean, without Andrew Wiggins, this franchise doesn’t see a championship in 2022.
    >
    >And we got to continue to remind Wiggs how great he really is. I mean he’s one of the best two-way players in the world. And I know that ability is still in there.
    >
    >Luckily, we got a lot of basketball ahead, but he reminds me of myself actually a lot. You know, he internalizes a lot of things, and he cares so much about his play that it could hurt him just like myself – when I don’t play up to my standard, it hurts. And that’s what you want to see out of a teammate. You don’t want to see someone who just doesn’t care. But Wiggs, if he didn’t care, we wouldn’t, like I said, have won a championship two years ago. So I know I’m grateful for him. And I know he’s still got greatness ahead for himself. And, yeah, it’s in there.

    Yeah, what a culture drag lol. Warriors media is the root cause of SO much negativity and toxicity around the team. 95% of them engage in nothing but bad faith rage baiting and then they wonder why players occasionally get annoyed with them. Wish JD had kept his BS at 95.7

  12. Whipitreelgud

    Media gonna sell some media shit. Not buying this shite

  13. JD Who the fuk are you? Go back to talking about low budget Vegas nightclubs or whatever it is you do & leave our core alone

  14. BaseUncultured

    This shit is soo lame, there wouldn’t be a problem if the team was winning. Winning cures everything look at the front office and coach for not being able to adapt when necessary.

  15. If you’re gonna throw Klay & Dray under the bus like this then you have to throw the entire leadership group – The FO, Kerr, Steph, Klay, Dray, etc.

  16. Dray is a bully. Klay has to be handled with kid gloves. Of course they’ve hurt the culture.

  17. WisdomCow

    My take – neither Dray, nor Klay, nor Curry have picked up the reigns of elder mentor which Iggy steered throughout the dynasty. Is it fair to criticize any of them for not embracing the role? Personally, Curry has always been the “leader by example.” His tenacity on and off the court has been and remains his role. Draymond is the vocal emotional leader, who went off the rails (perhaps upping his game thinking it could fill the void?) and hopefully can be a better man now. Klay has struggled to accept his decline. It is a disappointment, Primarily because he lived through how Iggy handled the same situation. Is it fair to critique Klay for not emulating Iggy? Maybe not, but I wish so badly he would.

    So, I kinda feel the argument Klay and Dray failed to have some validity. Some. Certainly not all, but I think what we can say for certain is we miss Iggy’s presence off the court more than anything else.

  18. lastinglovehandles

    Why do they let shit like this get posted.

  19. oyasumiroulder

    What not being a contender every possible moment does to some mfers…

  20. stephenmontana

    steph built the culture, things change situations change people change, yall really can’t hear anything negative huh. face the music and do something about it. like steph said keep doing the same thing and expecting different results is insanity.

  21. The W’s don’t have a culture. The had a core of super talented players. the culture was get the ball to Steph or get the ball to Klay.

  22. _AManHasNoName_

    The fallout of no longer having Iguodala on the sidelines. He was an effective motivator and perhaps the only person Green listens to.

  23. fauxfranc0

    Who the fck is this guy? Why does he have a say in our culture? Is he even from the bay? Lmao

  24. GabeHirsch

    A bunch of stupid, blind following fans who don’t realize you can appreciate that Klay and Dray helped set the culture to start with and have also hurt the culture over the past couple years. You can do both.

  25. Shamanboi408

    Dray sure but klay??? He was pouty and sad sure but he didnt do anything like that and fixed his overall play and attitude after the steve talk lol

  26. WryKombucha

    You know….these kinda opinions are like assholes. Everyone’s got one.

  27. --solitude--

    Everyone coming out of the woodwork to gleefully pile on the W’s and kick them when they’re down. Fuck idiots like this.

  28. Ok-Birthday4723

    Saying Klay hurt the culture is ridiculous.

    Draymond has definitely fd up a lot
