The issue with SAS is that he’s playing a character. Old media is nothing but fake debates about stuff that doesn’t matter. People want ACTUAL insight on the game, not a drama filled nightmare from people who don’t know the game.
Second sentence - nailed it.
Plenty of people want drama about the game lol which is why Stephen A still gets millions of views everyday
They want both….. I can listen to an intellectual basketball take but I can also listen to Skip Bayless sprout nonsense for hours
But yet ppl like u still watch the old media. Talk about it but still watch it Wat makes u a fake
@@spr_bam3678 old media = entertainment and hot takes , new media = actual insight or the games … there’s room for both.
The beauty of hearing from a player, not “a source”, RIGHT after a playoff game is priceless
Exxxxxxacttly! Right on the nose!
And this definitely putting a hurting to ESPN. It'll get to the point where....dare i say it....WOJ may become irrelevant.
Woj is a ninja when it comes to news man
They mad af about that . I bet you a rule gone come out . No podcast during the season
@@Los334_ you not lying they will try to way to sabotage this.
Who would have ever thought that the best information in sports would come from the people who actually play the sports??? 😂 If the media wasn't such trash then the players wouldn't feel the need to do this. We as fans can actually get more inside info and thoughts from players if they can trust the platform they're on
legacy media is trash, most of them are all fake
Pat Bev been making the media uncomfortable for the last 2 weeks 😂😂😂
I like Pat Beverly-he's honest and his deep voice is attractive
This man is conducting his TV show while he’s in the NBA Finals… 🐐
it’s remarkable tbh
🐐 behavior
Exactly right
That is amazing
They better win or mfs gone be hating
As confident as Stephen A. portrays himself to be, there’s a “hint” of insecurity that became blatantly obvious with his response. He’s clearly threatened that his platform may take a hit from brutally honest athletes…and he should be.
I think he's speaking the truth. It's the whole Dunning Kruger effect; the less people know about a subject, the more they think they know. Culture is wishy washy, staying on top for as long as Stephen A has stayed on is a skill that I think new guys to the industry may not understand.
After brady contract he should be. He holds his own in debates until says...when i played in the league
I love hearing directly from the players. Draymond is special because he can articulate himself well and also be authentic, with exception to the Blaming kerr for the KD fallout, that was a stupid take. But we could use more draymonds and less skip bayless’
Big faczt
@@michaelcrossley4716 Stephen A doesn't actually know as much as he presents himself to know anyway. Stephen is a hyperbolic blowhard.
I just gotta say, I love how the Draymond Show can just keep on going as his team enters the NBA Finals. That's commitment to that new media, and as a fan it's awesome to be able to keep that connection even when a player is in the most intense part of the calendar. You are deeply appreciated, Draymond.

@@cheftino7074 Rude and Appawling good sir from yorkshire
And I do believe in Draymond Green and what he's talkin about the New Media is there actually talking about the game they don't bring out these fake debates to feel content they just tell the truth about the game without all the drama
Thank you for talking about this Draymond. The continual media discussions about who is better and legacy is boring and frankly pointless. It’s the kind of chatter you will hear in a school yard.
Its so refreshing watching you and other players actually talk ball and tactics and what really is important between players. Sick of watching all that dramatic bullshit on ESPN etc.
Well said. Need more actual ball talk and more flowers. One guy who has particularly ushered in the approach where players are being mostly trashed is Skip Bayless. I know it's supposed to be a show and you're left wondering how he truly feels, but what he says/what people get to hear is probably 15% praise and 85% trashing of the players. He has taken it to a point where even good performances need to be trashed by cherry picking some part that wasn't that good. Nothing real about that anymore and I just don't see the purpose and how that would be worthwhile; what good is in trashing people 24/7; toxic/negative even if not genuine.
@@ntnnot It's so true. I'll never forget watching one of the best games I've ever seen in 2013, game 6 Miami-Spurs. I thought Lebron played heroically to keep his team alive, the Spurs played beautiful team ball, and Ray Allen saved the series with an all time shot... Which is what Ray Allen was paid to do... and then the next morning and ever since Skip acts like that game is a negative on Lebron's career cause he had a turnover and Ray Allen made a great shot. That was a some galaxy brain nonsense.
Let's all remember how much the media talks about the loser Lakers while other teams with winning records in the playoffs aren't being mentioned at all. Then all these discussions on if the Lakers fail to make the playoffs, how will this impact LeBron's legacy. Like why are they beating a dead topic for months on end while they dont say anything about the other teams with success and how they are doing it.
@@Nex123 yea when you have Lebron James on the Lakers (ESPN are a bunch of laker fans lol) then you have a pair for the media bash
NBA=WWE. RUclipsr “L0B0” covers it best.
I think I really enjoy what Draymond and JJ and even Pat Beverly brings on the table. Especially JJ insightful analysis inside the game itself.
Exactly! JJ and Draymond are absolutely insightful and informative unlike Stephen A Smith who’s modern day uncle ruckus.
@@thinkbeforeyoutype7106 modern day boy he just Uncle Ruckus. 😂
I think jj still try to go along with the old media. Because things he know he wouldn’t like as a player from the media saying. He dose it
Pat has to get better at talking and not speaking from emotions so much but yeah jj & draymond are great
Me too
Kudos to Draymond man. This guy expresses himself very well and is going to be one of the greatest in media
Exactly! JJ and Draymond are absolutely insightful and informative unlike Stephen A Smith who’s modern day uncle ruckus.
LOL
He has a very unique way in which he communicates its like methodical the way he comes for stephen a 😂😂😂😂
Pat bev draymond perk and jj are next up in this buisness and can easily pass up Stephan a
@@YJP23 nobody's gonna EASILY surpass Screamin A. Regardless of how silly his or Skip's takes can be, they're too deeply rooted in the community. But I agree. JJ & Dray are great!
Having players speak the truth as the media without a big network is going to kill many corporate jobs. It's because they speak inside facts about the league and don't compare each other.
"...but that's what the old media do. Because it's all about clickbait. It's not about true analysis..." THANK YOU. So well said.
I can’t express enough how incredible these Draymond segments are. Being a sports nut for 40 years this content is a dream come true.

@@jaw444 🤣 you'll get yours
@@Marcus-mk3sd :)
you so right 👍💯✌️
NBA=WWE. RUclipsr “L0B0” covers it best.
Stephen A is just upset that actual ballers come on like JJ, Dray and Bev and suddenly Stephen A isn't the expert anymore. Stephen A could bully Max. He can't bully Bev, Dray or JJ Redick.
Facts 🤣
The Stephen A sports analysis playbook: 1) predict the betting favourite to win, 2) complain that struggling players need to step up, 3) become offended by a cohost, 4) mention how much you like Florida weather, 5) attack anything that threatens ESPN profits
💯
Stephen A definitely bullied Max, but I don't think he enjoyed it. He clearly wanted Max out of there for a couple years until he was finally able to kick him out. But you're right, it bothers him that he's not able to pretend to be the basketball expert anymore. He's threatened. New media is here, and it's part good and part bad. I don't like everything about it. When everyone is talking into a mic trying to be a star, it can feel like too many voices and you just want to shut it all off.
facts stephen a only talks about narratives and hasn’t never even talked about the strategy behind the game of basketball. He is scared cause he can only regurgitate news tha he read. Stephen A has never made an insightful comment about the game of basketball. He just talks about fake drama and pits fans against the players.
Pat McAfee really helped with the athlete in media movement and I’m happy that Draymond and JJ are following in those footsteps. The more we have the better!
JJ and Pat are retired not active athletes like Draymond and Pat Bev. Who pull double duty and work much harder.
@@setoalgorytgm2748 didn't JJ have his podcast when he was still playing?
Pat McAfee is great but he was a retired player and had a major platform on ESPN Get Up. These new guys are doing it while still being active players and/or without being connected to big networks like I Am Athlete. That’s a major threat to legacy media
Thank you!!! I've always wondered that. Why does one player being great have to diminish what another player has accomplished. It feels like the NBA has grown from all the accomplishments of so many great player to evolve and become the version of the game it is now. Which is so much fun to watch.
The problem with these shows is that they purposely have an agonist vs antagonist and yes they do it on purpose to have a debate but sometimes it comes out fake and create conflicts on purpose.
Not sometimes but almost all the time.
That's the point of the shows tho, they'd debate and disagree with each other for the role they play. They didn't get a job to agree and say yes all the time, it'd be boring af
Almost all the time it happens. It's why I don't watch first take anymore. I still watch Undisputed because there are times when Skip and Shannon are just having a conversation about sports, they don't make it a debate all the time if they don't believe it. I appreciate that.
FACTS. also can they just shoutout Mr. Skip Bayless, dude bashes greatness all the time, for LBJ, for Luca, Steph etc etc. Dude always bring up the past even though someone did greater than their past
Sometimes?
Xddd
Is not only fake
Is that they don't know what they are talking about
This man both educated Stephen A about himself while simultaneously giving him flowers.
The Stephen A sports analysis playbook: 1) predict the betting favourite to win, 2) complain that struggling players need to step up, 3) become offended by a cohost, 4) mention how much you like Florida weather, 5) attack anything that threatens ESPN profits
The formula of building up one player by tearing the other down is worst of all on Undefeated, but SAS has certainly leaned on that from time to time. The format on First Take of two loudmouths yelling at each other is unbearable regardless of what they say. Players as media? Depends. They're not all perfect. Kobe had this vision of analyzing basketball that might be best with ex-players bc it would be so rigorous, and I do like that sort of thing. "Details" was never entertaining though, so "new media" will probably be some combination of the two.
Maturity
Yeah not really!!🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
NBA=WWE. RUclipsr “L0B0” covers it best.
We need NEW MEDIA all across the board!! This is a start of something greater. Thank you Draymond
Draymond, I'm 66 years old and you are educating me on a game I thought I knew very well! Thank you!!! The same to JJ Reddick and Pat Beverly! I like the "new media" and it is way past due!
Love that players are finally monetizing off reporters & analyst always sticking a camera in their face in today’s game. Far too long has the media controlled false narratives or helped push a franchises agenda. If a player can articulate the game, show passion & bring insight while actively playing at a high level I’m here for it. Reporters are mad at it because at the end of the day they’ll only be reporters. Whereas some of these athletes can still be great players as well as great reporters.
Cheers to chasing #4 Dray. Keep doing you.
Agree. Also; Draymond knows that his on court performance adds to his voice (the better he plays; the more credibility to his take). In my opinion Kerr et al sees that this (pod/media) is Dray at his best. Thus, Dray is going to bring even more to the court as he is incented to.
Facts
Reporters were necessary back in the day to keep the league relevant by bringing attention to the game, creating storylines and clout. Players were always monetizing off them - just look at average NBA player salary dynamic. The problem with nowadays media is that reporters and analysts are trying to become a human clickbait (Skip Bayless, Stephen A, Colin Cowherd etc). And these talkshow heads bash players for views without making in-depth analysis (classic example - Mark Cuban destroying Skip Bayless). I want to make huge props to Ernie Johnson and TNT - imo Inside the NBA is almost perfect example how to handle this business
@@jarrodjob *incented*?... THAT'S NOT A WORD. What are you INTENDING to say? Are you not INCENTIVIZED enough to research a word before creating a fake one? Most commenters speak trash, subpar "ass cheeks" English. You all can't spell. Nor formulate a proper sentence. Nor play any sport competently usually. I can do all of those things. When I can't -- such as high level mechanics or engineering or something like hairstyling- I defer to experts or advanced persons. Yet YOU all think your opinions are more valid or articulate than athletes (great speakers like Kareem to embarrassing ones who I'll spare but WE KNOW) -- or even emotional blowhards like SAS. You're ALL HILARIOUS (proper usage).
His point about the whole Steph vs Lebron discourse is so correct .Old media love to pit one against the other.
Wish dray was around when Kobe was alive.
Yes and it's annoying! Stop pitting the players against one another.
Facts
I had my doubts about Draymond, so I had to hear for myself, and must say Draymond Green is on point about so many things and keeping it real.
My favorite moment was when Kendrick said the suns will be a problem for the warriors and pat bev said” maaaan they gonna run chris out that gym” lol!
🤣🤣
Sun couldn't beat Golden State when they had no Klay or Poole, they got beat by Steph, Wiggins, and Otto Porter lol
Draymond communicates in a way that quickly captivates your attention. He absolutely killed this episode.
Cuz you already know he's gonna be transparent and brutally honest. If Dray talks, you listen 100%
Stephen A’s theatrics are tired, drawn out, and predictable. A lot of espns content is insulting to sports fans and our intelligence. Most of us are yearning for valid, educated, and genuine discussions. The overwhelming positive response to JJ Reddick and Draymonds content is a clear indication of this.
I agree
It all depends on which Stephen a shows up that day.. he funny af sometimes
@@royalfx4687 yea he definitely is. But at times he can be very annoying. Where as Draymond and JJ I love hearing every time they talk. Stephen A I listen to a little bit but not for long cause most of it is nonsense
True.
They have to shout everyyome on everything.
Shaq, chuck and kenny got a great following coz they are players. JJ, dray, pat Bev etc are doing the same thing. This is what we fans need. Not mad dog, skip or steven a shouting
yall do know its millions of people in this world right? lol SAS is straight. and idk how yall dont agreee with the props Dray is giving him all video lol yall weird
Congratulations, Draymond, for going to the finals, again. I love your show. Continue being you, brutally honest unapologetically. We need that vibe in this era where people are being soft and you can't have an opinion
Exactly
Its beyond opinions at this point its wrong to state objective truths
I agree!!! Keep it real no matter what.

@@wussrestbrook1200 yeah idk wtf that dude is spewing but SAS has been the face for ESPN for over 10 years 🗣
Stephen A. saying that new media isn't going to take over really exposes how intimidated he is by what new media is doing. People like JJ Redick, Draymond, Amare Stoudemire, and even Pat Bev to some degree are showing that people want more insight on the ACTUAL GAME rather than the narratives and outside aspects that don't matter as much. He knows that he has to get with the times before he's gone from ESPN and out of the limelight because new media is taking over and people are going to that more than anything.
I really appreciate this. It was needed. No more "from a reliable source." We hear directly from the guy that was out there hustling. That needs to be the new thing. I actually respect Green for this
I love your podcast and how insightful on how you process the game of basketball.
That being said, the timing of your intro and when you say,”so you don’t miss any of this great content!” The editing of that intro missed the timing. Please have your editors smooth it out, or give us a brand new intro.

Thank you, Draymond! Steph is one of the GOATs right along with LeBron James and MJ. Speaking of one man's accomplishments does not diminish the accomplishments of the other man. Windhorst has big nerve to be talking about somebody laughing at somebody when people have been laughing at his non-athletic ass for years. What exactly are his qualifications to analyze sports?
DRA!!! U da man. We are here in 'Bama as you're biggest fans! Keep bringin' it to the hoop! We love you!
Stephen A just feels threatened that’s all. He knows players are going into the media and are actually telling the truth. They’re not gonna come on tv and make gimmicks.
Not only that, but SAS spent years perfecting his craft. Players are transitioning from the court to the media with little experience in the field. But the experience they bring can't be ignored. The narrative of players have been spoken by non players. Now the narrative is being spoken by those who are actually playing the game, which brings a whole new world of information that the media wouldn't have access to. Draymond with Chuck, Kenny, and Shaq is going to be magic!
He’s not threatened his show is enjoying great ratings and he’s getting a big contract
I think he is just clarifying for the audience who sometimes are young and only think of old vs new as just AGE. He is defending his LIFE LONG profession which many of us have DONE OURSELVES.
SAS will be fine brother lol
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Stephen A sports analysis playbook: 1) predict the betting favourite to win, 2) complain that struggling players need to step up, 3) become offended by a cohost, 4) mention how much you like Florida weather, 5) attack anything that threatens ESPN profits
He scared lol. He see's the shift. He raging as if its going to stop anything.
Right he’s seeing more people love to hear the prospective from the players point of view.
exactly he feels threatened and angered by it
SAS is afraid of his job security lol
SAS scared lol hahahahah
Not at all. They're not entertaining as they think. Pat was hilarious talking about CP3 but it was all personal & the fact that he couldn't be objective about Harden proved that. Plus Stephen A welcomes them but you just can't come off the court/field an be great on TV. And podcasting & the same as TV either
13:50 this man getting nostalgic and close to heart for receiving a tech 😂😂, there is no Draymond without techs

As a 62 year old lifelong NBA fan and student of the game, let me say how much I love, appreciate, and support the "New Media". The players speak the truth as they see it and don't mess around with all the unnecessary click bait. I have learned so much from listening to them. All my love and support to them for being able to use these platforms to educate us on the game and to use their voices for reform on social injustice issues. Keep on talking Draymond!
I don’t think Stephen A meant any disrespect. He meant that he put in 30 plus years of work to get to where he’s at in the media field and you can’t just come in overnight and think you’re doing things

Thank you. Love hearing your views!
Draymond analysis is incredible and I look forward to listening to his insight on the game. In the case of Stephen A. he's from the old school so his mentality is he's the best and everyone else is a threat and his competitor. What I like about the new guys is they celebrate everybody and everyone has a lane to get busy in. The JP Show
Look at you Mr. Parrot "giving flowers". What a contrived, fruity saying.
NBA=WWE. RUclipsr “L0B0” covers it best.
Stephen a and other “analyst” or supposed “experts” that never played the sport they’re covering at a high level are threatened because they’re entertainers nothing more and nothing less and the only difference between them and the average person is they’re in a suit and tie on tv and say outrageous things. You got players that actually played and are playing the game like draymond, Ik reddick, pat bev, etc. who are entertaining but also give the nuanced commentary so they can appeal to the masses but also are intricate enough to appeal to the true hardcore fans of their respective sports. If you can get entertainment from actual players then armchair analysts are no longer needed.
Stephen A actually played the game, he got later injureed. his knees were done. So he decided to do some stuff in media and his career went that way
Greetings and respect from The Dominican Republic... We love your show.
Pro tip: In addition to repeating the mantra "New media is here to stay and you got some new media in you," how about defining what new and old media are for your audience, getting clear about the differences between the two, then explaining WHY new media appeals to people, is a necessary corrective for old media, or has what it takes to last. Once this is done, then you could use this context to frame your opinion about Pat Bev. It would have been a great strategy.
Reading the phenomenon of Pat's massive success this week through the lens of new vs old media is insightful and says something not only about Pat, but about media itself and its shifting landscape. In fact, it really captures that shifting landscape exceptionally well. You sorted of hinted at some of this stuff, but it never really happened, at least not in the way it could have. But then again, you promised to revisit all of this on deeper level this summer. Looking forward to it.

Your absolutely right Dray. The old media is polarizing, keeps comparing and creating narrative. As a fan and a viewer we need a positive narrative. Keep it up Dray. After this season, I hope you will guest STEPHEN CURRY, KLAY and ANDRE in your show for at least 2-3 episodes.
I've been loving these podcasts from players and even former players like JJ. It gives us a unique perspective. In the past, all we get is speculation from talking heads like Stephen A or Skip. Yeah, thats my 2 cents.
I’ve been observing the new media “the players themselves and their own narratives “ and that’s something special to witness. Of course traditional media will be threatened
Facts CNN+ failed
if you're new to the sport or coming from another sport, it's hard to learn from old media. They sensationalize everything when all you wanna know is the x's and o's of the sport. I appreciate guys like Draymond and Jimmy Butler. It sucks that we only get to understand their greatness when their teams do well. But it shouldn't be like that.
Mr. Green your doing an awesome job yourself, keep up the good work. New media is here to stay !
Yours is the only media I take seriously, Dray. Matter fact.. I'm subscribing.
Jalen and Jacoby (my guys), too.
Special shout out to Matt, Stephen and J.J Reddick.
We all learn verbs and style from mimicking someone else. Nothing new about that fact. What is “new” with Draymond Green’s commentary, is he is still living/playing pro ball on the highest level. Before athletes did not have a live microphone/and their own platform while they still at the top of their game. SAS is an outsider and Draymond Green is a great player still playing, heading for the 2022 finals having won the NBA finals 3 times before! What a point of view to witness! We are privileged to have this opportunity to listen and learn.
New media is about credibility, it's about real time interaction with fans, people. Its much more real than old media because it's about accountability and doesn't put players/ media person on a pedestal.
No such as new media.
sooooo what about when Pat bev couldnt speak up when sas asked about when he got bounced out of the playoffs? New media = delusional?
@@LuckyJackson2020 it was real talk so he kept quiet. I mean he was dishing it to CP3 just days before. He should take it too.
This is so true. This is what makes me like Draymond outside of the courthe only speaks the truth. He's one of us who hates clickbaits. Tell em, Draymond.
Stephen A. is playing a character and it worked out well for him financially. Go back to his interview with Allen Iverson to see the real him. He started changing around the time of Cold Pizza / First Take after he got fired and came back to the network as a contributor. His voice inflection changed and the theatrics came into play. But like I said it worked out for HIM.
Salute Draymond my young brotha all the way from your home town born and raised from Saginaw Michigan... All of us here n Saginaw support you and are extremely proud of you... You represent Saginaw Michigan extremely well being real being yourself and authentic... Stayed blessed young brotha
This was a great rant. Simply watching him on the court and kicking people made me despise this dude. But this podcast he does shows me that he's a real one and actually a respectful guy. Much respect
totally agree brother
Yea, it's time Dray. Push the New Media concept... it is needed. You do not have to diminish others to accentuate people. Proud of you Brother. Keep doing what you do. Don't let them force you off the New Media need. You'll have all the support you all need.
The way you speak with so much conviction got me believing. Love this content my bro
Charles Barkley and the Inside the NBA crew is truly the new media. Draymond is just expanding on what Inside the NBA has done.
🥁
I would say more like great mid-media and template setters for their format. However they are all a decades into their retirements. Never have actual players, still playing, stepped deep into the media role. It's revolutionary what Draymond is doing.
I love this new media era where players control the narrative not talking heads!
Thanks You draymond all u said here is facts all this comparison gotta stop old media need to understand you here bro salute .
I love hearing from Draymond. But let's not act like his comments and knowledge of the game is not a rarity when you hear from athletes. Most athletes that speak don't articulate their thoughts as clear as Draymond, they don't know the history of the game, and don't watch as much of their sport outside of their own opponents as you'd think. Give Dray his flowers, but this "new media" label needs to be given out sparingly.
SAS is just afraid they're coming for his job. But guys like NBA players don't have the patience to sit everyday to talk about LeBron or make up some crazy takes to pass the time. So he's actually kinda right when he says that there's also skills to what he does. If they do things the way they do it's because people watch it
Yup
The Stephen A sports analysis playbook: 1) predict the betting favourite to win, 2) complain that struggling players need to step up, 3) become offended by a cohost, 4) mention how much you like Florida weather, 5) attack anything that threatens ESPN profits
@@dunningkruger5823 Pretty much this. Stephen A's job doesn't take much skill whatsoever.
He can't be afraid of that. He's literally the highest paid nigga in the industry.
I love what you Draymond bring to the table with your podcast. I enjoy hearing players and former players perspectives. Personally, I prefer hearing from those who actually played the game and have deeper knowledge. I used to watch First Take, but now The only occasions, I watch First Take is when JJ Reddick is on, his podcast is also a favorite of mine. However, I noticed when Stephen A made that statement, If he’s reacting like that, he knows it’s true that viewers are tired of hearing from those who never played . Tired of Stephen A and his theatrics . Welcome to new media 😎.
kudos DG 🙌💙 speaking with such knowledge and experience is truly great and legit 👍 and saying it in a very honest, complimenting, confirming words and humility 🙌💙👍
This podcast is lit! Keep going UP Drayyyy
Keep on keeping On! Keep on speaking Draymond.
If I'm being honest I am all for the new media. I really like what the young guys bring to the media world. Black Lives Matter, talking about mental health, talking about world issues, incorporating it with hoops, they bring a young person's perspective instead of the old, grumpy analyst takes we are bombarded with. People love Charles Barkley, Shaq, Stephen A, but if I'm really being honest, their takes are so old school and don't fit in with this current generation. You need outspoken players like Draymond who bring in that youthful, open minded understanding view instead of the typical, old fashioned viewpoint we are so accustomed to. Hope Draymond keeps up this gig as I see this opening and creating a new pathway for him after his basketball career.
Well said Dray. Those old fools operate on a win lose mindset. Stephen A got a bit of that too. Plus until you play the game, you really are just a watcher and talker. That's why Dray is a valued commentator. You gain an understanding from playing the game that non-players just don't have. Plus the old players/analyst grew up on disrespect rather than respect.
He spoke volumes when he said old media “make it this guy vs that guy “ on god they do that with precision .
DG interviews surprisingly interesting! I like how other players opening up to DG.
I didnt like D Green before .. but since i started watching him talk bout the game .. i became his fan .. he keep it real on the mic ..
keep doing you D. Green
A hater to a dickrider. 💅🏾
this is such a great explanation! these players do things on a nightly basis that only a few selected in the world can do, hating on one to lift another just makes no sense. plus the basic rule of comparison is that you compare things all else being equal. when one or more variables are different things are no longer comparable. so why do we do it? to create rivalries? to create the "other"? such a eurocentric way to look at things. I love the community approach of new media, giving credit where it is due and appreciating different ways of being great - it is not soft - it is right.
You wrote a whole novel to say "I love new media" lol.
I enjoy and prefer the comments and opinions of the NBA players and really love Draymond and his podcast because he keeps it real
Also, Lebron and Steph do totally different things on the basketball court, truly great in their own ways. You couldn't have the last 15 years of NBA basketball "with Lebron but, without Steph" or "with Steph but, without Lebron." They're totally great, totally unique players. Both have had a massive impact on basketball.
What’s interesting is I noticed that Patrick Beverley is the word police now. And every time he calls out Stephen it on a word, Steven E backs down because Patrick Beverley is Hella intimidating to him. He doesn’t want to make it personal with Patrick Beverley, because he knows Pat Bev is going to annihilate him
Yea 😂😂😂😂
LOL I have a new "like" for Pat Bev. Before I just dreaded his ass because he is a force by himself.
What are you watching? Stephen A is not scared of Pat Bev. Dude literally told him on TV not to act like he made the Western Conference Finals. They lost in the first round. Lol
This is like watching a movie and then getting to hear directly from the director or actor about it. It’s that feeling of walking out of theater and wanting to talk about what you just saw. We don’t need professional critics with personal or business opinions anymore.
Perfectly stated
Once again, Draymond is box office and class personified. I could imagine the barbershop talk in Saginaw when he was growing up👊👏
Very good point DG.
