Man, the post game makes basketball so beautiful. With a good post player any other shot you want to create opens up. All this dribbling and running all action around the 3pt line took away half the game and it's strategy. I can get you any 3pt shot you want of you got one or two guys you can throw the ball to in the post.
Exactly. This modern era also takes away team identities. I miss when each team had a specific way they wanted to play, especially based on the team personnel and coaching philosophies. Now every team has the same identity, and it's nauseating.
I was born and raised in flint… graduated hs in 06 and saw a lot of Saginaw basketball around this time when Draymond was in high school, and early 2000s….man they had some amazing teams…Michigan high school basketball is the best
@@lionlikemessenger never saw him play live, but I do remember him. He was a beast, transferred to Detroit CD his junior or senior year and I’m pretty sure won a state title in think
The High school Failed Draymond BIG TIME-They didnt teach him respect, accountability and using NON violent means to resolve conflict.Draymond Today is Violent in the NBA-He punched his own Team mate, stomps on players in the court and fights people and even strangles opponents on LIVE TV.What a shame this Greene guy has become.That was no proper High school
@@CeeWorld69 his brain that revolutionized the foward position in basketball while earning him millions and multiple titles as a great defender, screen setter and passer
@yuletak exactly what I meant...there are a lot of NBA players with worse shooting forms than their high school days. They simply train other aspects more than shooting because of their predominant role on the team. I'm just saying role playing affects style of play.
I Was at this game when I was 9 years old, I don't remember much but my Grandpa Gene Nuckolls(who used to be the Saginaw high principal in 70s - 80s) was so happy to see his former school win. My dad told me Draymond was gonna be great at MSU after seeing this game. Crazy to see this after so many years
@@josephjohnson1057 Agreed, I do not particularly like Green either. However the hatred is disproportionate; this elite defender is disliked much more than the thug, Zaza Pachulia, who was a goon that viciously injured people and had zero basketball talent.
Looking at Draymond’s game and knowing Saginaw basketball, I can say he must have had some great coaches. He looks more refined here than Charlie Bell, Jason Richardson and Kelvin Tolbert.
The baggy clothes, the oversized basketball uniforms, that FSN upper third and presentation. Yep, this is peak 2000's basketball. Meanwhile in 2007's NBA, arguably, the top 5 players were Kobe, LeBron, Duncan, Dirk, and LeBron. Dirk won MVP and led his Mavs to the best record in the league, LeBron led his Cavs to the finals for the first time (but got swept by the Spurs), and this was the last year Garnett wore a Timberwolves jersey.
To add on to the comment above, Manny Harris led Michigan in scoring for three straight seasons at the front end of the John Beilein era. He declared for the draft following his junior year but went undrafted. He ended up signing with the Cavaliers and spent two years with the club in the post-LeBron era, peaking when he averaged 6.7 points per game in 2012. He then spent the next decade or so bouncing around from brief NBA appearances (including with the Lakers in 2014) and an extensive career overseas. At the moment, he's 35-years-old and still active, playing professionally in Lebanon.
Draymond is just a natural basketball players...Never was a great athlete, but had the feel, iq, balance(finesse and strength) and size of course to more than make up for it....

Weight lifting! He had to get strong to play in the pros because he’s consider short for the position he was needed to play. the extra strength and muscle can change your form a lot of times for the worst … you can lose your finesse
Draymond is now in his 13th NBA season, former DPOY, multiple All Star appearances, multiple championships, now a multi millionaire.

Him and Dion Harris .. dions dad was my first ever coach because my first time trying basketball I made jv there. But Manny was different.
He scored 32 against Bobby Lewis lol.
what happened to him
@verteidigungsblock he on birwood and fenkell
Say what you want about Draymond, he is a teammate (J. Poole excluded). I always appreciate his court vision.
Draymond was fire 🔥 in Highschool 💯
Most of us never sniffed a State Title. He damn near had a triple double.
Dude went to MSU!!!
This puts it into perspective how tough the NBA is. Players who average 8-11 points per game were putting up 20-30 consistently in HS.
What so you expect? 🥴🥴
NBA players especially US born players were all once the top recruits of the nation
They can still do it but there's only one ball and they gotta play their role
Good point. Pat bev was also a high school superstar averaging like 40
Was thinking the same thing
Draymond could have avg close to 20ppg if he really wanted to. That was just never needed from the team.
They try to label him as a bad guy but he had that warrior mentality even being that young so smart and composed. 💪🏾👍🏾
