I have never seen player, or person for that matter, that gets worst, behavior vise, with age. Normally your craziness goes down with testosterone drop after 30s.... Dude is out of control. Will probably get cought up in some BS after his career is over.
Steroids? He definitely shows roid-rage tendencies. Combine that with the way he used to miraculously get in shape for the playoffs every year and I think there's definitely something going on there.
and entitlement. No ref has stopped him before, the league really hasnt done anything. Just like when i ref my kids games, the kids will push the envelope until the ref stops them. let them play physical, they play more physical until you stop them. dont call some cheap shots, more will come. the NBA has let Draymond get away with his play and antics for years, so why would he change. he has become a millionaire doing it
Also he really does have to do all the non-fun dirty work in games.
Think of all the times he gets to watch Curry shoot the pretty threes while he has to direct the defense, tell people what to do, guard the best player all while being their leader in assists.
Their offense is complex it is basically, if a guy gets an open three, they don't shoot it instead Curry or Klay come get the ball and shoot it while the guy who had the ball screens for them. Their strategy essentially works to ENABLE Curry and Klay as much as possible.
It is a self-effacing approach you have to have as a player to play for them and and Dray has been the most successful member of it.
