Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole: He apologized and will step away from the team a few day's

[Easy-E]

Absolutely. Also, it’s not hard for me envision a situation where Draymond would have deserved it. After seeing the video it’s hard to imagine what Poole could have possibly said to warrant that sort of a reaction. I didn’t like Draymond implying there was more to the story that could have justified his actions in his apology.

The biggest problem the video presents is; Draymond was 100% being a bully

With the reports, you could fantasize about Poole holding his own and even egging it on

Dude removed Dray from his personal space and for that, Dray stole on him

I get what @Gil Scott-Heroin is saying, but, the end of the day, I'd take fake outrage

This shyt was starting to sound like Chris Rock getting slapped Pt. 2

Our ambivalence to a black male victims is gross

Does your job is involve physical competition?

Clocking your own teammate is not just par for the course, even in sports.

I’m done

It just isn't worth the hassle with Draymond any more.

He did have some major contributions to the title win but he also had some horrible games and moments too. He's got a lot of miles on his body so his game will only continue to decline more.

They should trade him when the time is right which also avoids the issue of paying him which they didn't seem too eager to do even before this. This has actually made the contract situation at the Warriors much more straight forward now.

It’s something just not everything

Ppl forget how big a deal Bobby Portis breaking his teammate jaw was. And the Bulls were horrible that year.

Tony Allen stealing on his teammate wasn't celebrated, either.

Hell, even the Jordan shyt wasn't tolerated by Phil and he was kicked out of practice.

they aren't boxers either. so yall are saying if draymond knocked you out it wouldn't bother you at all. you'd just dap him up and keep hoopin.....gtfo

Lol it being made public for instigators and soft ass nikkas to make it seem like losing a fight is some huge monumental event would be 1000x's worse. The few times I've gotten my ass beat it was literally a talk and a dap up once tempers settled down and we moved on with our lives with more respect for each other. But admittedly, it being private and amongst people who aren't gonna instigate a deeper situation contributed heavily to it being a peaceful resolution. People like yourself are more problematic to situations like this than the person throwing the punch.

well now that requires another team seeing this and going, "man he'd be so helpful for our young guys" or believing he has the perfect makeup for their team. If he has greater value to the Dubs than to anyone else, then he'll encounter this very situation somewhere else.

 

[CrimsonTider]

That's a ghetto, street mentality. These are two millionaires who are employees in a multi-billion dollar league. There's no place for that in that type of setting.

This is sports not the real world

He'll go to the LA Klutchers.

You're right - there's even more money on the line in sports than for regular people.

These nikkas turn into Karen after seeing a punch land on video. JP was not even hurt like that

Draymond nor Poole getting “fired” over this like working at your little sissy office job. Sports is a meritocracy so losing you job is almost 100% ability based.

He also cost golden state a title too
