I don’t think so, unless Edey was smart enough to act like he was badly hurt or je he was actually injured.

Soft.



I agree that in general people overreact to anything Draymond does, but this was in the "very not cool" category. I think we should be consistently harsh on non-basketball plays that could lead to a serious injury.

The refs were absolutely awful this game, but it doesn't mean Draymond should take it out on a player.

Funnily enough, Sabonis doesn't have 100 other cases still backlogged of being a grub like Draymond... :thumbsup:

Can you please list those 100 other cases? Include links to video if you don't mind.

Through therapy, Green said he has learned techniques to better deal with tense moments during games when he has previously lost his cool, embracing the idea of improving himself after being disciplined by the NBA with an indefinite suspension last year.

Green noted he also wants his children to see him trying to be a better example and exhibiting growth from the mistakes he has made.

“If I can help one person grow, great,” Green said. “My goal is that a lot of people can learn from it. My goal most importantly is to grow.

Zach Edey is lucky just imagine if Dray didnt get his mind right last year what could have happened now.

I agree. And this wasnt that. It wasnt dangerous, and Edey wasnt hurt.

Draymond is a poor man's Bill Laimbeer but without the likable charm BL had.

He won't be remembered fondly his contemporaries when he retires, that's for sure.

I wouldn't put him in the Neismith Hall of Fame either if it was up to me (but I am sure he will get there eventually)

Yes, and despite being apparently the dirtiest player ever he hasn’t significantly injured anyone. Last time I asked whom he had injured someone put up a finger injury/dislocation he did cause but that was due to a routine ball swipe/steal attempt that wasn’t even called a foul. Otherwise nothing.

He is a hothead and gets away with trying to put other players off their games and I am fine with him being criticised for same, but there are plenty of players who have deliberately or recklessly significantly injured other players, and he isn’t one of them.

He caught an accidental nut shot the other day. Can't deny how satisfying it was to watch him suffer.

I think you got it backwards. Laimbeer has been blackballed from everything. Draymond is treated normally for a player with such a dirty reputation. He’s even setting up for a media career after he retires.

I'm sick of warriors' fans defending this miscreant's dirty actions. Defending what's undefendable. There's only ONE standard here - it's wrong, it's dirty, it's NOT a basketball play to grab someone's ankle, and it's got no business in the game. I don't care if he's got rings, I don't care if he's son of GOD, it's freaking WRONG. NOBODY should be above the rules.

This is the guy who literally stomped on the guys chest, and then was offended when that guy didn't shake his hand after defeat. Classless deutschbag, here I said it.

Draymond Green does not have a single redeeming factor.

Sorry, I know personal attacks are not allowed, I didn't think it would qualify as personal attack, but I guess it is. That player kicks opponents in the balls, stomps the opponents, gets in the fights and chokes people from behind, grabs opponent legs, and to me, seeing that guy still having defenders is frankly, sickening. The defenses that oh - the guy didn't get hurt, is simply put, disgusting. Hope I don't get banned over that trash player, but I am sick of all his garbage.

Steph literally has scars on his arm from being grabbed. Defenders have been getting away with murder on Steph for years.
