This is what I'm wondering, there's no way he's never met anyone willing to put hands on him.
Fighting has been legislated out of the game. Most players aint cut like that anymore. Back in the day nikkas lived real lives before finding hoop stardom. Now you a superstar when you show potential at 10. He knows his environment and he is taking advantage of it. Beyond that, he does sneak, in the middle of the play shyt. He aint squaring up with anybody...except Jordan Poole :mjlol:.

He is doing it because he knows they won't respond...thats the point. He knows its safe to do this shyt in today's league...thats what makes it weak on his part. You dont get tough points flexing on people that aint tryna get active.

Bron baited him into what was possibly a series/history altering tech. He not only didnt learn from that he kept going further and further because again its safe. He would be food with real goons/mindgame players from the past. nikka was on his best behavior with Zbo, Kenyon Martin etc. Beef Stew grabbed him like he was his bottom bytch. No punches or nut kicks. Tristan Thompson punched him in the face and he peaced up with him immediately and now they giggling online about it. Textbook bully.
He's got the Morris twins type of bully mentality. Selecting who to attack. Guys like Nene or Zbo no longer in the league. Guys today just counting their money, not ready to risk. Like I said they need to throw a 12th man at him. Do like Miami Heat did throwing Dexter Pittman at Lance Stephenson for acting like a clown. Something like that.

the ether
Garnett yet alone Rodman would be in his head any playoff series. They probably get him in regular season if they really wanted to do so.


Some of y'all mythologize Rodman way too much. He's an elite player (just like Draymond) but in terms of the psychological warfare shyt, he psyched himself out of more playoff series than he psyched anyone else out of. Collapsed against the Knicks when he was with Detroit, melted down while he was on the Spurs, was in constant foul trouble against the Pacers. Even that big "wrestling match" game against Malone, what did he accomplish? Malone got the steal, Rodman got called for the foul on that play, bytched to the ref, Malone mocked him and made the free throws, and in general Malone had a great game while Rodman got 5 fouls and spent most of the game complaining. Jazz actually expanded their lead that quarter and Bulls only came back when Malone was on the bench to start the 4th.

For all y'all know, Draymond is the one who would be frustrating Rodman and causing a meltdown.

Steph is the institution :heh:. If Steph says "Dray cut it out." and means it Dray is either gonna cut it out or be out. If Steph says "FO this shyt aint acceptable. Do something." the FO would do whatever it took because they arent about to risk him being disgruntled. Him not saying anything is why the toothpaste is out of the tube. It aint about public comments, its about you being the guy and all this wild shyt is happening around you and you are either ok with it or not willing to use the unrivaled influence you have within the org to do anything about it which basically makes you ok with it.

We ain't gonna pretend like Steph is the final say on Draymond getting fined or suspended or resigned. That's a goofy idea to suggest. Lacob wears the idea that he's the person in charge in that building and he tried his damnedest to make KD the face of the Warriors when he was here. I still don't think Steph liked that shyt. Steph saying we need to suspend Draymond doesn't mean he's going to get suspended. Bron in Cleveland is the only player in the modern era who could've been said to be the institution as a player.

It's wild you're holding Steph to a higher standard than coach, GM, entire front office, Owner, Michigan State, AND the NBA brain trust. All of them were letting Draymond run wild. How is Steph's word stopping them?
