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

[NotAnFBIagent]

I feel like Jordan Poole’s response (or lack thereof) says a lot about the suburbanization of the NBA. The NBA is no longer a league full of rags to riches stories with guys who came from the inner city.

This is the NBA I grew up on...

At the title alone

If this was a street situation, sure.

But this is basketball with a co-worker.

Dray is dead wrong, and Jordan didn’t deserve an actual fight on the court

Nah of that matters you gotta protect yourself at all times soon as Jordan Poole pushed Draymond he should’ve instantly tuck his chin and put his hands up. Who cares about the co-worker shyt if a man invades your personal space. It’s not up for debate Poole had three options he could’ve walked away or stand his ground get in a shouting match with Draymond or Push Draymond. You go with the physical action be prepared for a physical reaction. Do I agree with Draymond Green punching him no he could’ve just pushed him back. Do I think it’s a sucker punch no. This shyt type of shyt happens in the NBA Michael Jordan punching Steve Kerr. The difference is we in the social media era. They wouldn’t forgot about this shyt in a month and everybody would’ve moved on but somebody leaked the videos. Before the video Draymond and Jordan shook hands and its water under the bridges. Now the NBA gonna force the Warriors hand and they gonna have give him a real punishment instead of the slap on the wrist they was planning to give him.

I mean he a millionaire and an NBA champion. He'll have to drink it off for awhile

But if you got an ego I don't see how I could ever be teammates with that dude ever again. That shyt is done.

I mean I ain't talking about he gonna off himself, but the teammate part. I couldn't do it. Boy a full blown meme now

Yes it's Jordan Poole running his mouth constantly, not Draymond green.

Lol there's at least a precedent for one of these people

They both do it and in this situation Draymond stayed ready and Poole didn't. It happens. Especially when it comes to competitive sports.

 

[verbaltelekinesis]

Look management has 1 of 2 choices if that's me....

1. Gimmie my 5 minutes worth of fade in front of the whole team


Or


2. Trade me


If 1 of those 2 don't work for you I'm filing with the Department of Labor for hostile work environment. And I'm dead the fukk serious!

 

[NZA]

if somebody ever hit me that damn hard, somebody either has to leave or i have to pick up a 2x4 or a folding chair or something...

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

I’ve never seen so many athletes on twitter talk about something like this. From NBA, NFL and celebrities this is truly blowing up

 

[MeachTheMonster]

This isn’t fair by shannon.

Dray walked into Jordan’s space. Had Jordan jus clocked him off jump instead of the push, we would all be talking about how JP probably shouldn’t have attacked Dray for a misunderstanding.

No defense for dray being an a$$hole as always.

Don’t know why the warriors keep putting up with this dude. Big ass baby with no accountability logging triple singles and a bunch of ejections

Yes it is. Just ur examples are the most extreme cases that almost never happen. If u and ur brother are punching each other in the face y’all need therapy or to never speak again. What could ur brother do so bad that u wanna punch him in the face?

You see your brother or cousin harming moms or aunts. Brothers and or dads uncles are gonna do it to him. And they be like Lucy I don't kill you.

If you talking kids bickering....ok you got a point.

 

[chkmeout]

Snuffed his bytch ass

Poole do come off as a nikka that need his ass whipped

 

[904]

The fact the video is out is making this shyt worse.

This may not blow over as easy as it would've..

And on a Duval nikka note, Dray would have to fight me everytime he saw me for that shyt lol

 

[khross415]

If the warriors do not get rid of draymond, it will further strenghten my argument that the GSW front office are soft as charmin and
that loud mouth breather has them by the balls

Also the fact that this got leaked suggests that there's atleast one person (teammate) that doesn't fukk with draymond like that and wants him gone
it's now up to the front office, let's see how they handle this

it got leaked by security , and yall still running around using that "mouth breather" bullshyt

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Nah of that matters you gotta protect yourself at all times

Using hindsight as a guide…..sure, you should always be ready for action.

But it’s sports and a co-worker as the context, so it’s not out of the question that JP didn’t expect or deserve a fight.

soon as Jordan Poole pushed Draymond he should’ve instantly tuck his chin and put his hands up. Who cares about the co-worker shyt if a man invades your personal space. It’s not up for debate Poole had three options he could’ve walked away or stand his ground get in a shouting match with Draymond or Push Draymond.

I pretty much agree with all of this but…..dray was wrong. He shouldn’t have done that, and he has thus far let his career be defined by his lack of self control.

No excuse to have this kind of interaction with his own teammate.
