We wouldn’t have 4 championships without Draymonds defensive intensity/mastery.
r/NBA is absolutely pathetic right now begging for a longer suspension lmao.

1. Clutch Points is ass.
2. Draymond is absolutely not the best defender ever.

i think draymond is one of the best defenders of this generation and or all time
but it’s really hard to say he’s the “best” defender in the last decade let alone of all time, imo that’s all subjective, but i think a stronger and better case can be made that draymond is the smartest defender of this generation and one of the smartest of all time
what draymond does with his basketball IQ on the court diagnosing other team’s plays when they’re on offense while communicating & directing his teammates on what to do and where to go is legendary
draymond is one of the reasons why the warriors have had consistently top ranked defenses in the last 10 years which is also one of the key reasons why the warriors have won 4 NBA titles by being the anchor on the defense since 2014/15 when he became the starting power forward to begin the season
even opponents who’ve played against him and other teams’ media praise draymond for his defensive ability … and when draymond has played for team USA his teammates who come from other teams and who’ve never played with him before they also say draymond is and was a vital piece to the last two olympic gold winning teams in particular in 2021

I feel like we sometimes fall into a trap in which we feel obligated to defend Dray because of the past.
It’s not debatable how much of an impact he has had. I also believe it’s not debatable that he is a hothead that has cost the team wins, success and goodwill with the refs and league.
We shouldn’t need to always acknowledge his past accomplishments when discussing his behaviour now.

Dubs don’t with 4 Rings without Draymond. So deride him all you want. How many ‘ships has your team won in the last decade?

WoW 😮 that is a astonishing Career for Draymond especially how much money he fine over the course of his career. Let’s all give him a round of applause 👏🏾

He can man up against guards and centers. Probably the best versatile on ball defender in todays league. Think LeBron is underrated in this regard, but def isn’t Dray.

You can play with an edge without choking out another player as you drag him across the court for 5 seconds.
