Draymond Green puts Rudy Gobert in a headlock: Suspended 5 game's

[Megadeus]

You're right, it's not some wild comparison.

It's a stupid one.

You ever hear an older brother admit that they'll give their younger sibling a hard time, but they won't allow someone from outside the family or even household to take liberties with their kid brother or sister?

The same thing applies. Teammates bust each other's chops incessantly. Locker room and practice field fights are a common occurrence. However, they're supposed to rally around each other when another squad is violating. It's team code. It's family code. It's man code.

Are you nikkas actually sports fans???

Which brings me back to the question I asked @tuckdog: If there's a guy on the team that's such a bag of shıt that NO ONE will defend him during a physical altercation, then why the hell is he even on the team?

Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe he is a bad teammate? has it crossed your mind that maybe, just maybe they feel that he wouldn't go that hard for them in return?

Speaking of dumbass comparisons, you just compared a blood related immediate family member, to some MF who you're contractually obligated to play basketball with. The fxck?

Just because they wear the same jersey don't always means there's that level of respect. Usually it does but not always. They're co-workers at the end of the day. I ain't saying what they should or shouldn't have done, I'm pointing out what might be at play here. These guys are pro athletes they've been in locker rooms since they were 6 years old. You think they don't understand team code? It's possible dude is just a dikkhead who's on the team to block and rebound. They might be cooler with Dray than they are with Gobert for all we know.

Maybe Draymond just really is that tough
I want to see him go at Embiid or even a Jokic type. I'm struggling to even think of any modern goons in the league right now, even the Morris brothers got exposed. I wish we could see Draymond in the eras where people really got busy. He not that big, would he have had the same energy with dudes like Rick Mahorn who knows

Is trolling? That’s what you did with KAT being a “borderline bust” before Edwards while averaging 24 and 10 before Edwards

Empty stats with no playoff appearances and did nothing of note until Jimmy Butler then later Edwards came on the team

you said borderline bust

He made two all-star games and an all NBA team. That’s not a borderline bust.

You can say he is not the franchise-changing player he was billed as, which is fine. Saying he was close to a bust is a man who doesn’t know what he is talking about.

if draymond never played ball he would be a OG prolly locked up doin hard time.

3 All star appearances, 2 of the 3 were with Jimmy or Edwards on the team. Stop it

Not being a Franchise changing player as a Number #1 overall pick IS a borderline bust. You can play semantics for daps all day if you want, do your thing

 

[Rekkapryde]

KAT and Ant need to get that nikka back

Hard foul him or something next game.

even a nice kick in the nuts

KAT and Rudy swinging on Dray and knocking him down would completely change their rep in the league too

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

Pat Bev is a wannabe tough guy clown

Every game matters, why get yourself suspended over Draymond corny ass

Timberwolves won

 

[MicIsGod]

Should’ve been 8 minimum.

No it's not

And it's only he and Booker as the best players in that draft. You can go with either, tbh. That's all being the #1 pick means. Was he the best player in the draft.

The problem I have is it has very little to do with being tough. Some shyt popped off & from his angle it looked like Rudy was attacking Klay.

Any friend worth a damn is jumping in tough or not. I’m certain Klay thanked him in the locker room

Makes you look at a lot of posters funny

He wishes. He'd be the dude getting slapped in the head for doing outta pocket shyt until everyone just stopped fukking with him because they get tired of making excuses.

You're being disingenuous by pretending he couldn't have gotten around Rudy and stepped to the front of him without a whole lot of effort. He snuck behind him and choked up while talking shyt the whole time.

This wasn't outside. You'd be right as fukk if it was outside rules. I wouldn't say shyt if this was in a gym or a park, but ain't no fights pop off in the NBA in the way that he needed to react the way he reacted. If this was at the park the nikka in Ant's position is taking his head off. If someone did this to my boy at the park I'm breaking my right hand on his head, but this was a NBA game. It's as corporate as it gets. Ain't no one messing up their game checks on a real actual fight especially not Rudy Gobert.

Folks tried to give him the same outside rules grace when he punched Poole too. Minnesota ain't got no rep to start no shyt either so he knew he'd be safe from them anyway. He won't try that shyt against Miami. That's why it's about him being a fake goon.

The choke & pull was the only thing excessive imo although when adrenaline is that high the ability to just stop won’t be there.

It’s just a bunch of hypocrisy because people don’t like Draymond. I recall posters calling Zo a bytch because he didn’t jump Into an altercation. Same ones praised Brandon Ingram & even further back Melo.

 

[Po pimp]

Gobert was patting himself and his men on the back for being bigger men than the "clown behavior" Dray showed, some people are mentally strong enough to react differently and expect that from their people as well.

Kat did enough, he was pulling Dray away. The only thing you can do to level that type of fukkery is to sucker punch him which could besides kill him give you a long ass suspension. Diffuse or escalate. That's it. Personally I was the type to escalate, but I'd never teach my future kids to be like me, they'll be raised better and among better people.

Kenyon Martin was on Gilbert’s podcast and said he approved of Draymond choking out Rudy because Rudy should’ve been grabbing his own teammate instead of Klay. Then he went on to say if Draymond was doing that to his teammate, he would’ve knocked Draymond clean out
