It's clear this year that draymond takes aggression from playing the game too far. If he can't stop the triggers for him to react to aggression then draymond greens career might be over the next time.
Draymond Green from the stuff that he is doing violence not just arguing with the refs be he is hitting people the way he plays go play outside somewhere This is getting ridiculous. Every time he on the court something bad happens.
The cause is that he thinks he super tough. But all you see is cheap shots. That’s not tough.
When green cold cocked his teammate, poole, and kerr the gsw's took his side it gave green a pass to physically assault anyone he wants on the court.
Draymond wont be remembered for his rings, but rather for someone who physically assaulted players when he didnt get his way.
Yow his wife gotta be careful with him he will abuser her
Draymond ain’t fooling nobody he just want some time off When you making contact hitting people he don’t want to play basketball
Perk himself cant say indefinitely lmao
What’s going on with Stephen A’s moustache falling off… is he going bald on his top lip?
What do you think 🤔 you get if you reward someone with a contract after they knock a teammate out 😂 the guys a fool!
It’s about time this thug gets held accountable.
He has always been a dirty player and Jordan Poole looks up to him.
A bunch of nonsense and b0llshyt. Draymond is in zero trouble… if the question is whether or not he's gonna stay on. He'll lose money that doesn't matter to him… then what?… then nothing. As long as you can still play… you can do almost anything… and get back on in the NBA. Draymond… could have literally sucker punched a fan during a time out…. he's 100% getting back on. Listen to what they're saying… "he needs some help"… making excuses…. when everyone knows it's guaranteed that if you're a bench warmer playing scrub time… and you did this… you're gone.. for sure. Drayond stays… period. That's how the league works… that's how the world works. They're up here making shyt up to craft the narrative in his defense. Draymond is a straight goon. Always has been Stop acting surprised.
Not gone lie if you push me you getting punched 😂😂
Should have let Green go instead if Poole.
Suspension for the rest of the season WITHOUT PAY
Selling for foul 😂
Green trying to join lebron
Draymonds "Body of Work" still can deserve a rest of season suspension.
Steve Kerr is always commenting and rightly so on violent and injustice act in America and he is usually right on the money BUT when he comes to D Green he is a completely blind and frankly a coward.
The GS need team need to send him to get mental help and when he is acting like a pro and not like a thug when he can go back . He is not well and he is dangerous and it is unsafe to play against him. S Kerr and the GS organization is to blame .
indefinitely… so it could be less than 10 games = less than 3 weeks 😂😂😂
The rest of year at home would be good for the NBA
They need to move on from that one guy. Just doesnt fit.
Yes he needs help not basketball
It’s stupid … the pistons have been doing this during the 80s
Hope he retires, the league would be a better place.
Of course Perk blames the Warriors.
What's with the sad, somber pity party? Ethnicity wouldn't play a part in that, would it? Something tells me Stephen A would be singing to a different tune if this was Grayson Allen and not Draymond Green…
Warriors organization should do something about 😮😮😮
Crazy how the media and everybody says how soft todays nba is, but when draymond gets a little rough, folks get to crying and complaining. Smh
If draymond was white he would have been gone years ago…that’s facts….stop saying he has to work stuff out….the guy has been allowed for years to get away with this stuff
Let’s hope they kick him out forever I’m so tired of him. He is a blemish on the league for sure make an example of him
Draymond is the way that he is because he's never been held responsible. This is what happens when you are surrounded by enablers. These NBA talking heads, his teammates and fellow ball players are the problem. They are really trying to make us feel sympathy for Dray. He should be kicked out of the NBA.
Yeah well keep punishing him regardless.
Nirkic should sue the league for allowing a player to repeatedly ASSAULT other players
The chockhold on Gobert was excusable as I viewed he was defending Thompson, but this Thaiboxing move has gone too far. 'Taking the good with the bed' no longer works for me, as based on my calculation, this is the 3rd time Green has %$#@ up Warriors' season/championship run. Enough is enough! Win or lose without Green IS THE WAY!
All I'mma say Ja 25 games, Dray who constantly hurt people & is a repeat offender who just came from a suspension which was 5 games, he better get 25 or more, he needs to get thrown out to be honest🤷🏿♂️🥱
All this sympathy for Draymond gtfoh.That man knows what he's doing and isn't sorry about it.I don't know what you do with a person who doesn't think their wrong.Don't absolve him of the consequences of his actions.We all saw him assault his teammate.That was no mistake.C'mon man.
Draymond Green should be PERMANENTLY banned from the NBA. His behavior is UNACCEPTABLE!
Get Ben Simmons !!! Perfect fit
Did Perk say that Draymond changed the game? 🧢 🧢 🧢 💯
