Mr. Green is 6 foot 6. The thumbnail shows him looking like Shaq
…If you wasn't there…? Did you finish middle school, or is English your second language , second to your non-character?
Dude sounds like a Warrior hater lol go ahead and stay mad and watch Dray get that 4th ring Tuesday night
I think they overcome all of this and repeat as champs or at least get to the finals again, but even if they repeat I think Draymond is already out of there next season. It pretty much gives the warriors an out to not extend him going into next season. Fascinating to say the least. Such a wild common denominator too – they’ve won nba championships and lost in the nba finals because of Draymond.
This is Draymonds last ring ceremony with the dubs, that’s the only reason they don’t want to suspend him lmao 😂
So many people in the sports business are deranged. In their minds, the only thing that matters is winning and/or money. Not morality, not culture
This isn't a great video
Draymond is set to make $26 million this year. Golden State's current cap overage that can be penalized is $39 million. The fine for that $39 milion is $170 million.
If Golden State could offload Draymond plus a pick to a team with cap room, it would save the owners roughly two thirds of that $170 million.
So keeping Draymond really will cost roughly $140 million this year–a big chunk of that penalty plus his salary.
And they get demolished trying to sign anyone else. Including the younger, better, cheaper player he punched.
They're going to deal him.
Why do people care how the warriors handled this?
Crazy Devonta Got charged a Assulte for pushing that camera guy but dramond gets off scott free.
Rich: you are out of touch with reality. Jordan Poole has a right to report to work without fear of physical viooence.
The issue wirh Jordan Poole isn't sport or even a Warriors issue. Violence in the workplace is under the purview of California regulators. There is Fed OSHA, yet the Warriors in Cali are subject to Cal-DOSH.
Rich: Draymind Green didn't break a rule👌. Draymond committed battery under Penal Code..its workplace violence; and Jordan Poole has actual rights [could sue the Warriors].
Part of the issue is Bob Meyers and Steve Kerr are flaming🌮🌮 and literally afraid of Draymond. Its all unseemly cuz there is no standards; security; accountability.
The Wareiors have demonstrated they are a flawed franchise and corporate 🐩🐩.
The video of Draymond's press conference today was horrible! He hasn't learned a damn thing. He was the classic spoiled in denial idiot of the ramifications of what he did. He is taking the shoulder-shrug whats the BFD attitude. Wow, he is showing some damn immature in denial colors. He needs to shut up and play.
Hi Rich, you are very insightful. To your co-host I'll say this. Why is everyone upset about Draymond missing games? Who is the one being punished? Is it the player who committed the offense or is it the organization? We don't know the fine, but a suspension to a player is the equivalent to being fined. It's a loss of income. That's the impact of a suspension or a fine to a player. It's simply a loss of income. The obsession about a suspension is totally unintelligent.
Secondly, who gets punished if Draymond misses the ring ceremony? Draymond and/or the organization? I say both. The media coverage of such a day would be about Draymond being absent. The history of that day for your organization would be about Draymond being missing. So while Draymond is punished, the organization will also lose. You made a great analogy with your child. As a parent these are the decisions. Keeping the child from a family event, while punishes the child in sonme ways punishes the family as well because the siblings don't enjoy it as much and the family feels broken in what should otherwise be a happy occasion.
Draymond's fine is equivalent to a suspension in terms of impact to the player being punished, though we don't know the value of the fine. The Warriors made the right call.
Crazy how much draymond enabling in the sports world.
I think most people would be fine with him attending ring ceremony. He just should be suspended for some games.
Strength in numbers. Everyone have their opinion. We shall all see. That's the beauty about it. It's time to now shut up and pay attention. Let's go Warriors.
I agree with Brockman.
Some of the people complaining have never played competitive sports and it shows. Every lockeroom will tell you that fights happen amongst teammates.
Rich your so wrong here I love your show I watch it ever day but your so wrong he is not a kid he is an adult he should be suspended by the NBA. Just remember not a kid. he should be charged fin suspended. Kids make mistakes. He is not a kid.
its gonna be wild seeing draymond all smiles and happy getting his ring during the ceremony. sociopath has no remorse at all
Your better than this Rich this guy assaulted someone their needs to be consequences he got a game for getting into it with Durant and we are going to reward the behavior by letting him get his ring.
wonder how they would have handled this if Klay had been punched
If Draymond punched Steph like he did Poole he'd be immediately off the team and maybe out the league! He punches Poole and gets NO suspension? This is absolutely ridiculous! They won't discipline him because of a ring ceremony??
trade the donkey away.
I think the public punitive responses are all for show and to appease these old mentalities tied to how things have always gone before. Any generative and meaningful conflict resolution and relationship building always happens behind the scenes. The public displays of hanging your own player out to dry is part of a bygone era and the Warriors are showing how to actually deal with conflict. Ppl just stuck in old ways of thinking.
He missed a week
I don't think the organization, and the players wanted to tarnish the moment for everyone (not just Dray). The healing process for the team, and the rebuilding of trust, will be an ongoing project that it sounds like the are comfortable living with 'as a family' at least for now.
The Warriors know the work it takes and none of them said its ok. There are consequences. He lost millions with that punch. Guaranteed and he knows it. So whether the team gives him a ‘suspension’ is irrelevant. Except to the blow hards.
Green has proven over time he's a pathological liar and narcissist. Even when he's taking blame he's taking a bow. Warriors mgt. knows this. "He may be a thug but he's our thug." Hypocrisy and lies from them as well. They really prove the CULT in Culture. It's all about brainwashing the young squad to submit to Dray's abuse in the interest of Steph getting another ring. Pathetic all around. There's only one language this org will understand: BOYCOTT. I will never buy another ticket, another pay-per-view or piece of swag again.
He won the ring before the punch fellas…
Horse crap. Enabling spoiled pro players doesnt make them change. Nothing is done, so they see no need to alter their childish temper tantrums
Dray means more to last year's championship than any punch he threw, no matter who he hit. If anyone has a problem with that, they don't have to attend it or watch it. That ceremony is for the people that won those rings, not the press.
For me as a Dubs fan, he has to be there, he contributed. I personally am not worried about this until I see us losing games. I think the media is overplaying it.
If it happened in the NFL. 6 months mandatory jail time
