  1. It’s an unfortunate situation between two teammates. Why are people acting like this has never happened before. This matter shouldn’t have been handled privately until some coward leaked the video out for a buck… This matter is none of the fan’s business. Draymond was wrong and he had acknowledged that. Fans need to stop always freaking judging. We don’t know what skeletons are in your closet. Damn!!! Look at yourself and think about mistakes you’ve made your life. Thankfully no one got hurt. It’s between the team to get past this. Cancel culture is so out there. Judge and jury on social media. We got people going through at lot of devastating things out there. Thank you JP for not stooping to retaliation and Draymond for taking responsibility for your actions and coming forward and taken accountability for what happened. Not too many people on earth behave the capability to do that. Wish you two time to make amends. Just like Will smith and Chris rock.

  2. Each and every body in this day and age has a smart phone with cameras folks. Even the Janitor or water boy….. just an example. There are opportunists out there too who hang around celebrities looking for action. That folks is how the video came out. Be in ur best behavior if ur a professional celebrity or just live and learn.😊😊😊😊

  3. Poole trusted Dray not to assault him… a life lesson he had to learn the hard way…

  4. Dame with the only correct take, you don't two hand push a man who walks up on you will ill intent and expect nothing to happen. Time to leave GenZ Fairy Tale Land.

  5. Dame right you can't just push someone and think nothing will happen. Draymond green didn't sucker punch him. That would be if he did it from behind if he wasn't looking. Jordan pool didn't defend himself which make him look weak and soft af. That's how he will always be looked at no matter how many points he score.

  6. When he pushed someone? I’m not a fan of either but Draymond got all in Poole’s personal space…

  7. physical fights happen on every team every year. its nothing. the video leaking is a huge problem in the organization.

  8. Damn,kinda of make you think of the just play basketball scenario….Damian you wrong on this one…You don't try to hurt another human being just because you can..And by the way Draymond walked up on him.I would push someone away from me if I were in the situation…Their relationship will never be the same…

  9. I'm just not sure how after an argument and a push you still don't assume something may escalate. 🤔

  10. The NBA is a joke. I would like to know how they would handle him if he punches a fan. 🤔

  11. I think ppl come to forget the age difference Poole no older that 25 … draymond like 33 … he should know better … so no excuses … I’m actually on Jordan Poole side ,, if I push my stepbrother he like 30 he can be mad at me ,, I still wouldn’t expect him to Superman punch me in the face ,, after a push ,, that’s taking it tooo far ,, & I would begin to think it’s bigger than just this situation ,, draymond must have more to the story ,, he prolly just don’t like Poole because he a casualty of war Aka Max Contract ,, if dray already had his contract ,, this wouldn’t have happened

  12. Dame called the situation the way it is. Most of you cowards have never been in a fight that actually involved more than pushing and shoving. Or people waiting to break it up before it started. And then you say we got beef. When In reality neither one is ready to engage. Poole talked crazy like a sucker, pushed him like a sucker, backed up to a wall like a person who’s never been in a fight (a sucker), and got hit like a sucker. He froze when that man came at him. That’s pooles prep school training that got him hurt. Talk trash and have faith that nothings gonna happen.

  13. That was probably the most expensive punch in NBA history. There is no way Draymond is getting a maximum contract after this, and may lose podcast subscribers (like me). He is the only one to blame for all this.

  14. JP deserve to be humbled, yes it's a bit unfortunate that the video came out but you can't go around not having respect for veteran players "EVEN IF YOU'RE BETTER THAN THEM" Stay humble and play basketball. Teams bragg after a championship then they get back to work. Seems immature to portray such traits.

  15. Wow Lillard is like Dray very supposed. This is why video is good because it shows truth when people in power try to hide it like George Floyd or anything

  16. Stop the behind closed doors nonsense, it is not ok to go to the office and get punched. Behind closed doors so we can keep misbehaving? Nee, not cool.

  17. Do you notice that every player seems to be program to answer the questions about Draymon vs Poole. That there shouldn't be a camera, and act like their for Draymond by saying Poole showed have put up his hands or act like Poole is fighter or a boxer. NBA told not say anything !!! Who did he fight , he just mouth.

  18. Damian, best comments of all NBA so far. Reality. Well spoken. Still politically careful but not throwing our Friend under the bus.
    Cowards kick a man when he's down, after all Draymond has done for "Our" team

  19. So let me translate what he said, if your husband or boy friend beat you up at home, you should keep it private behind the close doors too? 😂 what kinda fucken logic is that? Poole Ain’t greens brother? They are not kids, they ain’t blood related, they are just COworkers !!!! wtf r u talking about ?
