The amount of Warriors "fans" defending Draymond in any way, shape or form all across social media, is so sad to see.
I agree with this paragraph. But I absolutely do not agree with this sentence. Of course there's been plenty of cases like I said. I'm not going to waste my time searching through Youtube though, I know I've seen it plenty of times. Your youtube video was specifically labeled "NBA FIGHTS", which by definition means the creator searched for some level of physical altercation.
Not that you can replicate the Poole/Green altercation with any other in-game altercation (crowd noise, refs, teammates from both sides are all factors) but when's the last time you've seen a player walk a distance to another player and get up in his space all without a ref or a teammate or a coach or anyone else, ready to step in and disengage all parties from escalation? Factor in that both guys are on the same team, and there's most likely no precedence for this...at least, from the outside looking in. I just think the mindset was different. Both parties can verbally spar, but I'm assuming Poole wasn't even close to even thinking about throwing hands, while Draymond already had something like that in mind while walking towards Poole. You seem like you're saying Poole was wrong for simply trying to remove Draymond from his personal space. Hell, from the 'forceful shove,' Draymond didn't even move while Poole went backwards. That's how stout Draymond was. So from the shove, space was created...but Draymond went back for more, with his falcon punch. Just weird to me that you're saying Poole should have just stood there against a guy bigger and stronger than he is - a guy who physically instigated this whole thing while all Poole did was physically stand there without moving towards Draymond at all. Tough situation for Poole. Either get verbally **** on or get into a fight with Dray. Both situations, untenable.
Kermit Washington NBA needs to suspend DG for the year. That conduct is completely unacceptable. This is a sport that's marketed to kids.
No I don't think there was anything wrong with Poole's shove actually. I was just presenting you with another option other than turning around and walking away. I'm ok with Poole's shove, or standing chest-to-chest. And what's wrong with getting verbally **** on? Absolutely nothing wrong with that, how is that untenable? I'm a huge believer in the adage "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words shall never hurt me". I think people who cannot withstand verbal insults are mentally weak (just my opinion). I think people should have thick skin and be insensitive when it comes to words. That's just my life philosophy. I don't give a fk what anyone says to me, other than my direct trusted relatives. I'll just laugh and say something right back to them.
Green is a multi-millionaire professional athlete playing on a dynasty team. He’s living the dream. Yet, he always seems so angry and bitter. Needs psychological help, I guess.
