Draymond headlocks Rudy Gobert after Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels fight while the score is still 0-0
The funniest part of this will always be the score being 0-0 when it happens
The funniest part is the commentators carrying Klay’s water so hard
The funniest part is Dray getting ejected coz Curry wasn’t playing
The funniest part
The funniest part after that was Gobert calling him out for doing exactly that. And then Gobert destroying Draymond in the playoffs a few years later probably didn’t make Draymond that happy either
Klay 100% instigated that.
It’s a box out
Ah. And then what as the play on that end is over?
My favorite part was the Wolves winning and beating the Warriors back to back on the road. Lowkey a huge moment for that season when you knew things were different
Edit: So many salty warriors fans lol
Wow, beating the Warriors without Steph, Draymond, and Klay? Truly impressive lol
Well they shouldn’t have gotten ejected then.
Draymond was there, he just does Draymond things
This was when the Wolves hadn’t made the WCF yet. They were starting to get really good. Beating the old champions twice on the road was a big moment.

More impressive than getting beat partly because one of them getting ejected for being a man baby with worse impulse control than a four year old.
Beating any team on the road 2 games in a row is tough
Not when half the team is missing. Their leading scorers that game were rookie Podz, Dario Saric, and a washed up Chris Paul. And it still came down to the final minute.
Hang up the banners
What was different?
The Wolves did not miss the playoffs the next 13 years.
What was different? The Wolves didn’t win anything that season.
That’s amazing, Wolves must have won ton of championships after this incredible moment then right? This must have been what started off their dominance!
steph was out. green thought that goading the wolves into a fight was their best chance.
they didn’t take the bait, won, and green was suspended. big brain draymond.
Although I actually think Draymond is pretty smart, both as a basketball player and as a human overall… When he does these kinds of over-the-top heel moves (can’t say turns because it’s been his running gag for like 15 years now) it always seems to backfire, badly.
I completely forgot CP3 was in this game.
Warriors CP3 feels like a brief side plot lol
I just remember that they got Scott Foster to ref his first game against the Suns
Warriors CP3 didn’t even want to shoot the ball, I don’t know if he had a shoulder injury or what but once teams realized this and played off of him he was even less useful than before and before the PointGod was getting turned over bring the ball down the court against pressure.
That stint was great for the Warriors books and convinced me CP was washed.
And there are still some fans convinced he would’ve swung the finals lol
That’s the last 5 years of his career.
I forgot he was a warrior ever lol
I forgot d white was a spur 😂
:’( how dare you
Was he a fan fav?
He was well liked in SA. Would’ve been beloved but the team was too bad during his tenure. Kawhi’s last year in SA was his first.
Didn’t he get good while on the spurs? He was wanted and recieved a good contract for his play there.
He spent his first 4.5 years as a Spur.
He’s been an on/off stud his entire career. Even early when he was on some mediocre Spurs teams they always had a positive net rating when White was on the floor.
Self report lol
when tf was cp3 on the warriors lol
i forgot KAT was there too. weird that the twolves player now has a ring and cp3 the warriors player doesn;t.
I still fucking hate the Warriors commentators. Holy hell lol.
consistently voted as the worst announcers it the league for a reason.
Yea, they are always complete ass to listen to.
Fitz and Buike are the Jordan and Pippen of shitty announcers
They even have their own three-peat lmao
You had me in the first half ngl.
Is this a fan or media vote? When does voting start and where?
I don’t understand how they never got fired, the complaints online should have been a signal that they are hated by every fan base including their own
“Gobert had Klay in a headlock, and Draymond goes, ‘” hey man chill out chill out chill out.’ “
Unironically the funniest way to call that interaction.
Yeah good thing dray was there to de escalate the situation.
I had to stop watching right away. Absolutely insufferable
We hate them too
Seconded. They are terrible homers. They say tye same damn things every game. They add nothing to the broadcast.
Every time I see this I think the same thing. Just horrible.
Curry looking concerned while wearing an 1890s baseball uniform
Tungsten Arm O’Curry
Curry got revenge on France the following summer
he’s from davidson. he’ll never understand that UW vs Wazzu hate
Draymond is truly 1 of 1. Doing this at 0-0 is hilarious.
I recommend everyone look up a replay of Draymond’s first ever career bucket
Dude was just looking for an excuse to jump on Gobert lol
He’s Rodman without the… yanno… Rodman-ness….
I’ve seen Draymond’s penis but not Rodman’s though
trinity is more G than both of them
Weird flex
The fun parts?
He’s an overall better player, though.
In the right circumstances. I think that if you have a good offensive system that flows through someone else, Rodman plays the role of rebounder, enforcer, and energy guy better than Draymond… that is to say, that while I agree that Draymond is an overall better player, I think the bulls were much better off with Rodman than they would’ve been with Draymond.
And I think the warriors were miles better with Draymond than they would be with rodman.
The fact that you’re upvoted and the guy above you is downvoted saying the exact same thing is basically just saying people don’t want to upvote any kind of Draymond praise….but this should be stated clearly either way.
Didn’t know RJ was on the Warriors.
love the commentators just completely making shit up about Gobert putting Klay in a headlock to justify Draymond’s reaction (Gobert was holding Klay across the chest). hmm, i wonder why Gobert didn’t get a tech then? idiots
warriors commentators are absolute trash lol
You’d be trash too if you had to constantly find excuses to defend that piece of shit Dray. Must be exhausting
I fucking hate the Warriors commentators lol
Seems like half of Warriors fans hate them too, that’s how you know they’re truly awful.
Yeah insane commentary, you’d think one of the most referenced fights from recent years was nothing
“Good thing no punches were thrown!” Meanwhile, Gobert is asleep due to asphyxiation from headlock.
Dubs commentary may be some of the most biased in the NBA. They’re hard to listen to.
They definitely are
Rudy didn’t put Klay in a headlock, looks like he was trying to pull Klay away from the fight at 1:53-1:54. I think that is what they are (incorrectly) referring to
Lol @ the commentators immediately blaming the wolves then having watch the warriors initiate then escalate it and pivot to “it’s both sides really guys”
Fair of you to say they were both sidesing it. Dubs commentators are the worst of the worst. Not sure a more biased crew exists and Heat commentators can be pretty biased.
Heat commentators are some of least biased commentators I can think of! Whenever my Raps play you guys it’s always been mutual respect and they are super knowledgeable about our entire team. Can’t say that for about 1⁄4 of the rest of other team commentators.
WhAt wAs JaYdEn mCdAnIeLs DoInG???!!!
And also just laughing about Draymond headlock and not even considering that he’d get ejected
Klays arm on McDaniels to stop him from going for a rebound was a basketball play. McDaniels escalating by ripping Klays jersey is exactly the escalation the evolves it into the scuffle.
Since when are you allowed to stiff-arm people in basketball???
You’re not, but it happens all the time during boxouts, if everyone someone used their arms to not let someone get to the basket for a rebound, a scuffle happened, you’d have multiple a game
So not a basketball play, might want to change your comment then
If we’re still litigating years later, Klay grabbed jersey first imo
Completely forgot this occurred at 0-0. Makes it at least 25% funnier.
dude didn’t even have 20 minutes to get his adrenaline flowing or have some chippy interactions with gobert under the hoop or something. he watched gobert jump for the tip off and said “not on my fucking watch”
Jaden McDaniels and Draymond green in the same game, not the most surprising thing but still funny
Let he who has not wanted to put Rudy in a head lock cast the first stone!
It was especially funny when Rudy put both his hands up and Dray was still going backwards with the headlock like 10ft away from the scuffle lmao
as much as i love clowning Rudy, he’s an absolute professional. was more interested in not getting ejected and getting a W
Yeah, it’s made even better by the fact that Rudy has been training in MMA since before he even started playing basketball. That’s the face of a man who knows he has nothing to prove…
Draymond looked like he was trying to take a hostage. Bringing him back to the locker room.
“Get in there and make it about you” energy
These commentators are insufferable.
That picture of Dray head locking Rudy, while KAT headlocks Dray, deserves to be hung alongside the Mona Lisa. 🤌
It was my phone background for years.
my all time favorite drawing
Another random Draymond clip to karma farm.
r/NBA would be feasting with clips like this if we were on the 90s and 00s.
Mutombo’s elbows would be the 90’s equivalent of Dray’s nut kick. Dude was good but reckless. I’ve never seen a player hit someone’s throat more than he did.
He makes it pretty easy.
Did anyone call Congress?
Doesn’t matter how many self-aware and -deprecating jokes he makes on his shitty podcast, I still hate this fucking moron
I refuse to listen to him and when he was on any of the halftime shows and turn it off
All time classic
Lmfaooo draymond is fucking hilarious why did the do that?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Curry wasn’t playing so he wanted to get ejected.
He’s also just a dirty player who hates Rudy and saw an opportunity to try and choke Rudy out
Must be the only answer lol
He’d been waiting 10 years for his moment props to him for seizing it
I know it’s fun to circlejerk about Draymond, and I have tons of problems with him. But it’s an unwritten rule that if you’re trying to break up a fight, you hold your own teammate back not the other guy. Rudy broke the rule so Draymond escalated (way too hard)
Cause Rudy grabbed klay
Draymond said he’s not a dirty player and no NBA player would call him dirty btw
i was at this game and our group came a little late. was so confused why none of the GSW stars were playing and realized we missed this whole scuffle
I was at this game and had briefly looked up at the scoreboard for something. Looked down and it was suddenly a brouhaha
Those warriors announcers are something else.
GS commentator are insufferable
RIP your average
This got posted in the warriors sub earlier and I got downvoted for saying Draymond was wrong here and is an asshole - fandom is a helluva drug
Ooga booga tribalism. We all really are primates
You guys when JB PG trade is mentioned:
That’s not why you got down voted chief.
You should be double down voted for running and crying on r/nba about it though lmao.
I mean you were definitely wrong.
Absolute Cinema
This was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen
warriors commentators is like the average warriors subredditer lol
Hell yeah dawg.
Stay watching our sub.
Also, flair up bitch.
how the fuck do you warriors fans tolerate these announcers? lmao complete trash
Klay getting glazed is always annoying
Klay’s a bitch and Draymond is mental
Should’ve added flights reaction
Jaden’s been a menace
Why are the announcers saying gobert had klay thompson in a headlock which is literally not true?
Can’t watch with volume but are they the Warriors announcers? They’re the biggest homer announcers in US sports.
It was a simpler, more innocent time.
Someone needs to beat draymond’s ass on live tv
draymond’s favorite head, and nuts…
New NBA RECORD! Whooooooose
Didn’t they just play each other or am I misremembering?
One of the features of reducing travels is these back to back games in the same arenas like it’s the playoffs - I wonder if teams getting sick of each other so there’s carryover into the next game lmao
typical draymond lmao
honestly as horrible as it is, this is the funniest possible outcome and I kinda wish itd’ happen more often lol
I was there. My thought at halftime was “does this still figure into Draymond’s per game averages and starts this season?”
God I hate the warriors commentators
That first angle of the replay that’s focused on Klay/Jaden while Draymond just drags Gobert out of the shot by his head is fucking hilarious.
I want to see Draymond do that to Charles Oakley.
I was there and it was amazing
I forgot this was so early into the game lmfao gotta love crashout jaden
Thank god for CP
Brother, bad use of the abbreviation
Watching this live was incredible
Steph looks like he’s wearing his pyjamas
Old
Don’t show me my goat in a warriors jersey again unless we back 🥺
So boxing out while grabbing for the throat is a basketball move?? Those announcers are just glazing over what happened
Good ol headlock will set it off
This pissed me off. Klay was slumping and I was excited for him to be the primary option and get his groove back and this shit happens.
Funniest shit lmao
Not the announcers saying they happened to get wrapped up, lmao. Definitely GSW announcers. Klay grabbed his jersey and was tugging him around. Klay’s a bum.
I forgot that this started because of Jaden and Klay getting into it
Draymond wasn’t even protecting his teammate he just saw an opportunity to headlock Rudy Gobert
Damn. I forgot cp3 played for the Warriors lol.
Rudy just doing the French hands instead of trying to stop draymond from choking him gets me every time
You’re too close man
100% Rudy’s fault for being who he is.
Drayton deserved to be punched right in his face for that.
I’ll always remember this cause it happened during my birthday dinner and I was watching it on the TV at Dust Bowl
natural choking motion
Gotta have an enforcer on your team lest you get bullied the entire game.
Draymond would be one of those angry bums on the street if he wasn’t good at basketball
Yeah he’s just a nba all star champion hall of famer instead. Poor chump.
Can we ban Draymond Green already? He routinely escapes any accountability.
For what? Coming to his teammates defense years ago?
Has anyone, besides Draymond, ever missed any playing time because of Draymond?
Don’t know went on before, but it looks like Klay initiated the whole thing with a stiff arm to the chest.
I don’t like Rudy Gobert and this still is a brain-dead move by Dray.
So funny seeing everyone whine like little girls at Draymond when that thug, piece of shit golbert put Klay in a headlock first
Rudy wasnt even grabbing him with any real intent but to separate them and in comes draymond with the rear choke!
Unbias comment. Tbf it looks like Gobert did headlock Klay (from 1st video angle) until that one angle where he’s just grabbing/stopping him. Also looking at Dray’s perspective Gobert is so tall and had his right arm on Klay’s shoulder and Draymond pounced on him before Gobert repositioned himself. Draymond still a bitch for that tho can’t control himself I would be okay if he just pushed Gobert out of the way.
I can’t believe no one did ANYTHING to draymond, wolves must hate Rudy. Fucking put Dray in a headlock too at least like wtf?
Towns is pussy. He shoulda started choking draymond immediately lol
Draymond should have had like a 20+ game suspension for this
It still baffles me that Klay holding McDaniels on that “boxout” was enough to make him crash out less than 2 minutes into a 0-0 game.
It was game 2 of a back to back between the teams. My guess is the 1st game was chippy and this was always gonna end in a fight.
McDaniels seems like a shit stirrer so wouldn’t be surprised if he said something to make Klay freak the fuck out.
Gobert put his hands on Klay as a “peacemaker” … Draymond overreacted but Gobert should have been holding his own team back.
What does Draymond even bring to the game anymore? Dude literally is there for shit like this. Rudy just tryna split shit up and here come Draymond like, “nah f that, this fight gon happen”.
Gobert put his hands around Klays neck. I never had an issue with this. Id expect my teammates to do the same
Edit: yall are soft as shit if someone does what Gobert did to Klay and do nothing about it. Shoutout to Dray here.
The day this lunatic retires will be a good day
Why didn’t this get the in-depth Draymond POV retrospective documentary like the Poole punch?
because it’s against rudy, and everybody hates rudy…
Because he didn’t do anything wrong?
I really can’t believe people still think this is a big deal. It’s not like he actually choked him out lmao
Dray the 🐐
