    Draymond getting that positive PR on Christmas morning. His team is working hard

  2. JokicOrBust

    I can’t believe they managed to spin this suspension into this. Draymond has the greatest PR team ever

  3. dreeaaming

    Just drop him off in the middle of the desert and be done with it

    I expect as much progress here as I did after Ja’s first time getting filmed with a gun.

    0%

    Holding someone accountable in this league seems damn near impossible.

    This guy ain’t mentally ill. He’s just dumb. Hate how anyone who does dumb stuff that’s violent today is now also considered being “mentally ill” (same thing happened with Ja). Some people are just that bad and need to be considered as such

  6. GneissFrog

    Draymond being treated like a middle school student in detention. Might as well give him a chalkboard and have him write lines.

  7. NeverDieKris

    Seriously fuck this guy. Why the hell are we acting like he needs help. No, he needs to stop being an asshole and be suspended for the rest of the season. Too bad everyone around him has enabled his terrible behavior.

  8. perfect_deception

    Gonna be really funny when he beats someone up again

    Draymond Green has a tremendous success learning therapy and learning his lessons about punch dick control, stomping, choking and others. We are integrating better techniques such as advanced breathing controls.

    We have stimulated his anger by showing him pictures of Poole, Rudy and various others one (Sabonis chest, Adams groin and nuts ) and he didn’t pull any triggers.

    Experiments are working, he is expecting to be reintegrated into Warriors lineup soon.

    Nothing like medicalizing poor character and poor decision-making.

  11. Very uplifting story of a man overcoming his mental health struggles.

    An inspiration for victims everywhere.

  12. Fakeskinsuit

    Awe good for him. He’s the victim right? Oh, wait….what a fucking joke

  13. WhyplerBronze

    This is like allowing an abuser (Dray) to go to counseling with the abused (the league), it only serves to advance the abuser’s talents. Joe Dumars is a fucking dunce.

    I was going to make a bad joke about how his “punishment” is just some games off and Zoom calls. Then I read the article.

    >These Zoom meetings are playing a role in how the NBA, National Basketball Players Association and the Warriors measure Green’s progress toward working through whatever issues might have contributed to repeated violent episodes with opponents and a former teammate, sources said.

    His punishment seriously is just some games off and Zoom calls lol. Woj even said that Green is still in the facility practicing and working out with the team on a limited basis. This is a hilarious “punishment” and rehab.

    “How’re you doing today Dray? Any violent outbursts at anyone today? Alright, cool! We’ll see you at 10am for shoot around!”

  15. I’m really confused as to why people think that draymond is just a violent person and that this is not coming out of any sort of issues that he is struggling with. Have you never seen him talk? He is obviously dealing with so many insecurities leading to him having such a big ego and he obviously has a very distorted perception off himself and his actions which definitely needs to be challenged, so having these talks about his mental health seem very important. I just hope that they take time and don’t rush because a 2 week anger management isn’t gonna help anyone.

    Edit: It makes me really pessimistic that people think that people are just born being assholes without even questioning the source of that asshole behavior.

    Green’s therapy session with league officials was “intense” and “at one point Adam Silver was crying” but everyone grew closer and after suggesting to Green that he “simply stop attacking other players” a big lesson was learned.

  17. Bacca18121

    Complete theater. Why else would Shams be getting a scoot; they might as well just let him come back now.

  18. RevolutionaryClue969

    He’s be a good candidate for psychedelic assisted therapy.

  19. Le4-6Mafia

    NBA exec: “how angry are you from 0-10?

    Dray: “6”

    NBA exec: “that’s down from 7.5 last week, keep up the great work Mr. Green!”

    Imagine being so pathetic that is this actually necessary
