    It would go in when he tried to miss shots

    he also said, or i think reggie jackson said he’d tell his teammates he’d fight them if they went after his board

    edit: he said it on a podcast

    “I’ve put my hands on my teammates before,”

    “It doesn’t matter who. It was in Detroit, he’s actually one of my really close friends, too.

    “I punched him in the head,”

    “He didn’t do it again. It happened more than once too. It was because of rebounds.

    “He’s a rebounding player too, as a guard. He kept coming to take my rebounds, so I pulled him aside during a timeout and said, ‘Yo bro, you don’t see me trying to go for 50 every night, don’t try to come in for rebounds.’”

    Is being a 10 and 10 guy with the tag of “horrible touch” really better than being a 12 and 8 guy without that (maybe mildly bad reputation of it). I honestly don’t know lol it got him from 12 to like 14 in his league leading seasons which looked dominant I guess

    This sounds like an excuse to just being bad at scoring. “I totally meant to miss those layups so I could get more rebounds”. The time he airballed an layup backwards, was that also intentional?

    I didn’t know he and angel reese were related.

    15% of Drummond’s career offensive rebounds were off his own misses. That’s not that high.

    For example, 27% of Jokic’s offensive rebounds are from his own misses.

    I’m sure organizations love to hear that he was missing on purpose.

  10. fckthisite2

    Should’ve kept that one to yourself bro

  11. paddiction

    Let’s be honest, he wasn’t missing them on purpose

  12. PeterGallaghersBrows

    To say this while still being an active player is wild

  13. redditmodsdownvote

    anybody that tries to defend this fking scam artist is a goof.

  14. Saying that while having a draft kings logo on the top left is wild.

    Stat padding in the NBA is just so crazy

  16. caulpain

    if he’s on your team you HATE andre drummond. he’s funny if he isnt though.

  17. _FreeYourMind__

    “I wanted to be the best rebounder of all time” proceeds to say that he had a good 4 year stretch

  18. ChiefHunter1

    Is he still trying to play in the league because what a loser mentality

  19. CamXP1993

    Wonder could that count as point shaving on the low lol.

  20. Leggoman31

    We know. This guy’s the definition of empty stats. Haven’t seen any other player put up those rbd numbers and still be absolutely ass for his team.

  21. TrickleUp_

    Loser mentality. This is exactly why he played for tanking/losing teams

  22. Moe-Blacks-Brother

    And this is why he’s never been a winning player. Congrats on those rebounds though!

  23. Regular-Ad7589

    Now we know why he couldn’t let Craig have that dunk
