[Highlight] Draymond Green shoves Austin Reaves and the referees conclude that no review is necessary
The fuck is wrong with Draymond man
This should have been his 3rd Technical. He had another Dirty play against Vando too.
This man will do anything to not play without Steph.
man he does this shit every game either way, he just mouths off more to get thrown out
If you discount the two technical free throws he costs his team nearly every game he only averages 6 points per game.
According to Draymond, anyone in the league will tell you, he’s not a dirty player.
Well, yeah. If they said anything else, they know what he’d do to them.
cry about them on his podcast
It’s because the refs are Caucasian….
They are biased
If it were any other player: technical at the half, flagrant on Vando hit, flagrant on Reaves hit, and then a technical for standing over Reaves and shoving Maxi who was trying to pick him up. Ejected twice.
I honestly don’t mind them letting this stuff go because the league is too soft, but why give Draymond alone the free pass?
Because he spirals if he’s getting techs. Remember he said he was thinking of retiring when he was racking them up.
Have you noticed the entire NBA accommodates Draymond’s antics? His coach and teammates accommodate him. Adam Silver accommodates him by talking to him directly and convincing him not to retire. Refs accommodate him by not giving him techs. Opposing teams accommodate him and try to laugh off every outbreak because they know he’s a hot head and you have to pick and choose when to fight with him.
He’s such an unrelenting head case everyone in the NBA threw up their hands and said whatever bro do what you want to do.
He’s not good enough from a revenue standpoint to justify this.
seriously you don’t have people buying tickets to see draymond or buying his merch, I just don’t get it
I forgot about how this pussy was saying he was going to retire lmao
He should have
Sign Tristan Thompson back to punch him in the face lol
It’s so weird when teams or players get different treatment. Basketball is the worst for it imo. There has always been a rookie whistle and a superstar whistle. But it’s way more than that. I think everyone but okc fans felt there was a different whistle for OKC than the rest of the league in the playoffs, but it’s much more than that. Giannis was called differently from everyone for years, now apparently everyone can do his run into you move. Steph is wildly acknowledged to have the worst whistle of any superstar, on the same team is Draymond. Some bigs constantly set moving screens, cough horford, and some get a whistle if they flinch.
Same thing is happening in hockey with the Panthers.
No one wants this. We complain about consistency and we have refs calling their own interpretation differently for different players. What could be worse for consistency?
on god refs need tot ake him out back at this point, draymond is a plague to basketball.
I love how he always snaps his arms back or flops or pretends like he’s hurt when he does stuff like this.
It’s like when you catch a toddler doing something they’re not supposed to.
Yes. Draymond has very strong toddler energy
there was a game i think against Dallas where he picked up a tech or whatever and while arguing/berating the ref he was wiggling around like a little kids do when they really need to pee. its very much immature child in a grown man’s body
*Backpack Energy
He very clearly has anger issues and mental health problems but is never forced to confront them.
He’s gonna get arrested for assault within 2 years of retirement…and over something stupid like a “disrespect” or a parking space.
He already was arrested for assault in 2016 LMAO
Was that for beating up some guy at a bar in Lansing?
Will absolutely happen. It’ll be all over the news and people will say “wow this was easy to see coming” and then nobody will care and he’ll go on living life being an asshole. Same thing happened with Richard Sherman and nobody seems to remember
lol he’s just plain evil man. stop using this mental health stuff as an excuse. some people just suck.
He will at some point…
He’s trash who’s been enabled by the league to be the dirtiest player of his era.
He’s the Temu version of Rodman.
Thugs get views so the NBA will never improve.
Why the hell doesn’t anyone just kick his ass like fr there’s plenty of “enforcers” on rosters.
They’d get suspended and Draymond wont
makes me miss Artest, his fucking crazy mind would bust Draymond’s head baring any consequence
Makes me miss the 80s and 90s. Most decent teams had somebody who’d keep him in check
Dawg the 80s and 90s were full of players as dirty as draymond. Laimbeer was doing this shit nightly.
Yes I remember the finals clothesline
Yep, Draymond would get his ass straightened out right quick if he was playing in that era.
The only thing that would change is there would be a dozen more of him
Artest, ZBo and Sheed in the 00s, Oakley and Mason in the 90s, would all have laid him out on the regular. Rodman would have triggered Dray to commit techs that refs can’t turn a blind eye to. Laimbeer would be doing the same shit as him but he’d also punch him in the face first.
Search on YouTube there’s some clips of Draymond about to get into it with artest and he sees who it is and backs off lol
Draymond would not fuck with him
Nobody wants to give up their game checks
“Hey Bron can you cover my game check?”
Bron is notoriously cheap, he ain’t covering shit
They’re friends
The fuck is wrong with the league man
It’s our society. This kind of behavior is celebrated everywhere.
Curry was out
He’s trying to live up to his own hype, that he’s largely manufactured in his own head.
He plays extra dirty when Curry isn’t playing.
Their season is washed so now he’s just trying to hurt as many players as he can
What wrong in there aren’t enough players in the league willing to swing on him for shit like this.
Less stable than a CTE patient
hurt people hurt people
“Hurt people hurt people hurt people hurt people” is also what Draymond’s inner voice tells him during games
Planned to do that in q1 but he forgot
People have been talking about Sengun and Bane too much lately. The OG wants his throne back.
I hope he does this versus the rockets or pistons sometime soon. I would love to see a Thompson or beef stew lay him out.
He won’t. Draymond only bullys much smaller or guys who guys who aren’t looking at him like when hd 360 sucker punched nurkic. He’s a bish
Yup. The refs would call anyone else out for his bs. Its like hes a weird uncle that beats up his nephews cuz he never had kids lol
Don’t forget Europeans!
Beef stew reformed
True story. I was at the Pistons Nuggets game Tuesday and when Valunciunas grabbed him by the head and tried to throw him down. Stew booked it to the bench before making a bad decision. Probably just not trying to get 25 to life is my guess.
Bickerstaff probably warned him he wont put up with that. He was a pretty strict disciplinarian while on the Cavs as well. Doods like KPJr quickly got the boot if they acted up
He already tried with Stew and he want none of it lol
Bane just went mental for a week, idk what that was all about lmao. He’s always been a dick though.
Like 3 years ago I got seats 3 rows back of the basket at Lakers/Grizzlies at Staples. Bane was running his mouth more than anyone, and the entire arena was getting this weird energy because we could hear the trash talk and see the frustration.
That’s when there was that famous highlight where LeBron basically told Bane to STFU and play basketball, then took the ball full court to yam it on JJJ
Been more than a week for Bane this season
Yea Bane been on a generational asshole run for no reason. Not going to lie when he chucked the ball at whoever it was so hilarious even his coach couldn’t believe it
I think he has napoleon complex, not for his 6’5” height, but for his arms.
Napoleon had normal arms, find a new slant
How do we know? Napoleon always kept one inside his coat. Maybe it was a T-Rex arm like Bane’s? /s
Fam, I know we joke, but that fool really is on the juice.
in sports that are actually competitive sports as opposed to sports entertainment, this would be a non-issue because people would just ask for a review, and then if then win the review, the keep their challenge.
also, the review would 99% actually be correct.
instead we get this clown show which i guess is good for engagement and “good for business”
Facts, the NBA is not quite the WWE in terms of genuine fair competition but it’s not the Olympics, either.
Sengu was just sexist. He never took the throne.
The shove to Smart right before is just the cherry on top lol
Like he tries to do it to Smart, it doesn’t work, so he forearm shivers Reaves
You know he’s adding a little extra sauce to an AR15 “screen”
Austin: “I’m not even European! I’m just white!”
Still guilty!!
He has German citizenship 🇩🇪🥸
Lmao he almost gets knocked off his feet he lost so much balance. Draymond is such a little bitch
Me spamming push in nba jam
Wtf, it does look like the push action right down to the opponent falling over.
Oougghhh
I didn’t even see that lmao draymmon out here playing bumper cars wtf
Smarts not big for the NBA, but man he’s a tank. Can keep from getting backed down by near anyone.
Draymond is why i’m totally fine with the Warriors being mid and Steph Curry likely not winning another thing the rest of his career. Yeah, that’s petty. I don’t care.
Draymond is an absolute scumbag and I can’t wait until he’s out of the league.
same but he’ll jsut be shoved into our faces with espn or amazon or nbc
It’s unreal they were trying to shoehorn Draymond into Inside the NBA on TNT. A group that succeeded purely off vibes, not bball analysis, and they bring on the most unlikable person in the association.
I’m still really confused by that and still convinced that a network will try again when he’s retired. I get that Reddit isn’t always real life, but I don’t know a single community clamoring for Draymond on their TV.
they’re probably banking on getting views out of the controversy and hatewatchers
doesn’t seem like a winning strategy a la ESPN
Him and Shaq are super close. I’m sure he gets plenty of pull on who they have as guests
I don’t think that’s petty. That’s just wishing for karma to run its course.
100%. I love Steph, he might be my favorite star of the past 15 years, but I hate Draymond even more.
I honestly think the reason why Steph has, one of, if not the worst whistle among all the superstars is because of Draymond. He keeps doing this antics that refs swallows whistle so in exchange, they also let the other team be physical to them which then reflects to Steph the most.
It’s not like Steph doesn’t benefit from things like moving screens from Draymond
Yeah some of us have been saying that for like 10 years
The basketball gods are refusing to bless the Warriors because of Draymond. Steph needs to cut him loose if he wants another ring.
I loved the warriors. Even the KD warriors… Dray just ruins it
I see nothing wrong with your comment
That’s not petty enough man
Won 4 rings I think steph will be fine 😂
A while before this he also held vando in a headlock and push him to the ground. Refs decided not to review it and called it a common foul
Refs are instructed not to call technical fouls or flagrants on Draymond so he won’t get ejected.
This replay is brought to you by DraftKings
sports betting will definitely not ruin sports
That’s actually doing the lakers a favor
And the warriors still wonder why the Lakers get free throws
I wonder what kinda dirt Draymond has on the league if they’re willing to protect him this much
This is why you need an enforcer. Do to Curry what Draymond does to your star player.
I’d love to see hockey rules get incorporated in the nba but not enough white people fighting to make it ok
carrying a player just to combat Draymond and Desmond Bane seems wasteful
And Lu Dirt
[removed]
Lebron’s a fucking coward. Won’t defend his teammates because he won’t confront his friend
Would/did Jordan allow Oakley to push Bulls around?
It’s a perfect comp since Oakley was if anything worse than Draymond and Oak and Jordan were (and as far as I know remain) good friends as well as former teammates.
He didn’t even see the shove in real time lmao. Also, that’s an enforcer’s job anyway
How Draymond is treated with kiddie gloves by basically everyone will never cease to amaze me
It’s crazy how long of a leash he has. Every time I watch I’m shocked with what he gets away with.
It’s crazy how we’ve been making this same exact comment for a decade and not once had it or he changed. 10 years of this shit is crazy
1000% this. I remember when he kicked Steven Adams in the nuts back in the playoffs in I think 2016? Anyways I remember thinking surely the league will do something about this dude. And here we are still talking about it, 10 seasons later LOL. My only theory is he has some Epstein island level dirt on Adam silver.
My only theory is he has some Epstein island level dirt on Adam silver
That would explain the treatment he gets from the refs, but how is it that he’s never been punched back? There’s plenty of hotheaded guys in the league, but somehow he never gets a proper reaction out of anyone.
And I know that if I was an NBA coach, I’d sign some tough guy to a 10 day contract if he was willing to punch Draymond really hard if he tried any shit against my guys.
A 10 day player wouldn’t take that risk.
Like I’d get it if he did dirty shit but was really friendly/nice to the ref’s, but he’s not hes a massive dick to them as well. Its actually mind boggling what he gets away with.
As a Celtics fan I’ve see Tatum get so many technicals for clapping while Draymond is constantly doing shit like this
If Tatum did a fraction of Draymonds antics he’d be lined up at center court and shot by the three refs.
He gets a pass cuz he’s associated with Steph. That’s literally it.
He gets a pass because it’s easier for everyone to tolerate him than deal with the reaction. The only way to stop him is to call everything and make him unplayable for Kerr.
I’m so ready for him to be out of the league.
Problem is, league seems to want to slot him in as an analyst, so we still might not be totally rid of him even after his court days are behind him.
The silver lining is that I can only assume he’ll be on some “over-the-top” reactionary show on ESPN and I don’t watch ESPN so at least I don’t have to see his fuckass face
He’ll be sitting next to shaq
Stephen B Smith once A’s obnoxious ass retires
My least favorite active athlete in any sport
Why does no one lay his old ass out
Every team should have an enforcer on a minimum contract. Just to take the fall when enforcement is necessary.
Slowly but surely, basketball starts evolving into hockey.
I see nothing wrong with this
Every sport should have sanctioned fights
all roads lead to heated rivalry
I remember the days of guys like Danny Fortson being in the NBA solely to be their team’s designated goon. I just want to see one person completely lay his ass out one day when he starts with his BS. Let the owner handle the fine and lost game checks after he gets suspended.
No one wants to eat the fine and suspension.
He just trucked a smaller dude from his blind side. If i’m on the Lakers i’m swinging
Lakers bring back Artest or Howard
Artest would rip Draymond’s head off
Artest would make his teeth fall out
Kleber got in his face right after.
Kleber knew better than to retaliate bc Donkey would say make it a race thing through the media afterwards
This is where Trey Jemison III was useful last year
Draymond is playing a different sport altogether. Im tired of him
Literal years they’ve been letting this bum do this bs and I’m still confused why
Draymond the basketball player is really good, too bad he and Draymond the human being with severe psychological problems are the same person.
First basketball player with blatant CTE
Nah he’s just an asshole and a narcissistic bitch
too many chairshots to the head probably
It’s the Lakers whistle bro why would Dray… oh wait
what a bum
“Definitely a natural screening motion”- The refs, probably
That would be penalty in the NFL.
That wit would be. Ten yards for block in the back
“I’m not a dirty player”
Lakers Whistle vs Draymond leash. Draymond wins
Two BS plays that didn’t get reviewed. One on Vando also
He smacked Vando on the head and did his classic locked arm slam move too
Imagine if that was Jaxson Hayes doing that to Steph Curry. This was Draymond’s second flagrant foul this game and the refs didn’t review either one.
They wouldn’t call a foul if it was Steph so don’t worry
Get this dude off the court
That’s a dangerous ass play especially given the fact reaves wasn’t expecting it, could’ve caused a serious injury
Truly the worst human
well, there’s a list of them but draymond is just a punk ass btch
that’s a stretch
The worst human in the current NBA*
(Had to edit to add current because I almost forgot Karl Malone existed)
Miles Bridges beats women
Jaxson Hayes beating his girlfriend cool by you?
Nah, that rhymes with Ronald Klump
Just insane
Fuck the refs and anyone defending him
Dude tried to hit smart with the same screen, but he slipped it. Reaves didn’t see it coming, but he def threw his weight in that. That brother needs help.
Somehow Draymond Green will make himself the victim in this situation!
one of the most detestable athletes of all time
Teams should just give a 10 day contract to a random guy at the gym or something before playing the Warriors.
If Draymond tries anything during the game, just send that random guy onto the court as the enforcer to teach Draymond a lesson.
Cain Velasquez will be up for parole next month, he’ll probably need some money.
His skills have eroded so he relies on this behavior more often now it appears
I’ll never understand why nobody has whooped his ass. He 100% can’t fight. I know he chooses who to do this too
Idk how this manchild is still in the league. Fuck Adam Silver
Green must have slept with Silver’s wife
I might be in the minority here, but Kleber has to start pushing back here. Defend your teamate and start some shit so the refs have no choice but to review it.
He tried to tackle smart first and missed, it pissed him off even more
Thats why even Curry can’t make us love the Warriors.
Would’ve traded him after he ran KD away tbh
He should have been out of the league years ago. What a disgrace
Cant wait for him to be out of the league
I mean Austin is a Caucasian and Draymond is a black man in America so it’s totally justified in his mind
Why didn’t we challenge this?
Challenge what? Ref choose not to make a call. Bad choice, but you can’t challenge it
Fuck Draymond Green.
