It’s so sad to see all of these people who are suppose to be the “college educated”, “ self disciplined “, “wealthy” folks constantly trying to make excuses for this behavior. NOBODY HAS SAID YET THAT ITS WRONG. Full stop. Curry came the closet to saying enough without saying to much on anything. Everybody else worried about the leak or justifying the behavior. Truly sad to see.
dude, its bc this in sth that should be dealed by the warriors and not by us. its their problem and not ours. let it be and dont stick your nose in their business. this shouldve never been leaked bc like i said, its sth that only the warriors have to deal with. sure it was wrong what dray did, but like most of the interviewed athletes said, it happens all the times. we all forget, that those players are just human beeings with their own faults and nobody is perfekt. and in the first place we dont know the whole story, so we shouldnt judge them for what has happened
As you threaten your brother lol most aren’t college educated either. I went to a d2 school and didn’t have to go to class, I could only guess the higher up d1 programs are getting off even easier
That's the result of living an enabled life. Maybe if he has a true friend, if someone can successfully confront him and demand an honest answer: besides the money it'll cost you, do you have any regret, any remorse at all? The real story would reveal much more than all the Kerr "no comments", all the public and private Green apologies with or without him bringing up his mother as some throw in to prove the credibility of his apology as real and heartfelt.
That’s crazy how people talking about the “snitch” instead of the issue at hand. Dude got cold clocked, that was a potentially DEADLY hit. Fuck Draymond, if the warriors or NBA don’t come hard on this it’s going to open a slippery slope. It’s never acceptable to put hands on someone. It’s not like this is his first incident either he’s KNOWN as a dirty player. One year suspension should be in order.
While I don't know about the 1 year suspension I agree that the focus shouldn't be on the person releasing the footage. I see it more as an important act of whistle blowing. There's been a lot of talk about mental health issues in the NBA in recent years. How can we say player's mental health is important and at the same time argue physical acts of violence during practices should be kept under the cover and not talked about publicly.
I hate everything about the situation, but- should michael jordan have been suspended for one year for clocking kerr? I wonder how many years would be missing from players careers if your idea was implemented... those who know, know it happens at times, and people deal with it outside of the media/public eye the only time i know of a significant injury happening was bobby portis jr vs mirotic at bulls practice- concussion and broken facial bones, and portis was suspended for 8 games by the team.
@@kasheemstephens4546 exactly people dumb asf tryna compare the two! One is fighting with your bro against an unknown number of strangers and potential threats and the other is tryna take your Bros head off superman punch style
Green was having a bad day and seemed to be looking for a fight, thus the way he stalked Poole and provoked him into pushing him by invading his personal space.
@@BIG_DRU Green stated that he is/was going through personal issues that he was dealing with the day of the practice. Why would he bring that up other than to use it as a reason (or excuse) for his behavior? Poole and him have lockers next to one another and likely have constant bantering going on between them as both are talkers obviously. Combine all of that with his known issues with managing his anger and it all came together at the wrong time. Poole isn’t a physical threat to Green so there was no deterrent in his mind in provoking a physical confrontation against his better judgement. Do you have an alternative explanation?
@@purpleplantain374 that's the thing. He was not expecting it. Who really thinks a teammate that has 5+ inches on you and 50+ pounds on you will swing at you?
If Poole doesn't get his get back on his own, then he'll lose all respect in the league and in general, not to mention his self respect as a man. It's ok if he doesn't start another fight as long as some other dude doesn't pummel him, maybe he's not a fighter, so he can move on. But if the warriors hold Dre down while Poole punches him, then that's despicable behavior.
Stephen Jackson's out here talking about how you shouldn't pick on younger teammates. The entire reason the Spurs cut him was because he was walking around practice mouthing off about how he was better than Kawhi and said he deserved to be starting over Danny Green. This was during Kawhi's second year and Danny's second FULL season. They finally had enough and cut him just before the start of the playoffs. A few months later, Danny set an NBA Finals record for most 3-pointers made.
@@cycleoflife565 The problem is that he was openly talking trash about 2 guys (turns out it was actually Green and Ginobili, not Kawhi). No big deal with Manu, but Green was young, impressionable, and easily rattled. If you know Danny's game, you know how terrible he plays on the road when it's a hostile crowd. So it had the same effect as picking on him. The intent was to make Danny question his talents, which was especially sensitive at the time because he hadn't established himself as a legit starter, he was insanely streaky, he was constantly getting chewed out by Pop (to the point where Pop would sometimes yell at Danny if KAWHI made a mistake), and he'd already been cut by the Spurs once before.
True someone needs to take a paycut, hence draymond will either be forces to take a paycut or other teams willing to risk taking in a person with anger management
Front office probably more happy this happened LMAO. Taking a pay cut would be the the best way to earn everybody’s trust back and to show he’s willing to make this run last
this shows that MJ is really above criticism. He laid hand on Kerr but still got praised by all for his passion and competitiveness. Paul Pierce: Draymond, they don't love you like that. 🤣
I know arguments and fights happen between teammates all the time. But if attacking your teammates with that level of viciousness and violence is normal in NBA locker rooms, then the NBA is a highly toxic work environment. Someone needs to investigate because people are being battered and abused at work. Draymond could have broken that kid’s jaw.
GSW released it. They don't want to pay draymond. And they want the fan base to understand why when they trade him. But this also makes it harder for any team to trade for him. Dray will never get a big contract again.
People are being extremely dismissive. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. This should not be referred to as a “normal day in the office”. His behavior was unacceptable in this setting no matter how you analyze it. His decision cannot be justified, so his behavior should have serious consequences. He didn’t punch his brother or cousin at a cookout- he assaulted his colleague/teammate within his place of employment. He is very talented, but time and time again he has proven to be disorderly and emotionally unstable.
I don’t care what Draymond or anybody say, he don’t really fuck wit JP like that. Bros catch fades all the time, but it’s respectful and niggas shake hands after. He literally walked up on lil bro and socked him like he was a op. Ain’t no being cool after that
They’ve been protecting this clown his entire career. It’s why he continues to do stupid shite like this as he knows the team will give a gentle tap on the wrist and be done with it.
This was planned so that draymond won’t get the max. They want to destroy his legacy and any offer from other teams. I don’t even think they will retire his jersey. Of course, it’s not okay to punch your own teammate like that you are a heavy weight compare to Jordan. Whatever happens in the gym or locker room should stay like that without the world knowing.
I can definitely see that. If I was an owner I might do the same thing. But draymond is the dumbass who put his chips on the line & let me off as the owner. Now i have a reason not to pay you , that i been looking for.
Sometimes when you talk too much smack, that smack; will smack you back. You just have to be ready for it, and you best be expecting it, cause you just might deserve it. Believe me, eventually you will get smacked, no matter where or who you work with. POOLE
TBH if steph or Klay would have punched Poole different story. But the fact that it was Draymond makes it worse because he is always running his mouth to other players and doing disrespectful shit like kicking ppl in the nuts. Lucky nobody has punched him yet. He can dish it but definitely can not take it.
All these dudes who are saying this stuff happened everyday and seems like it no big deal, are saying that because they didn't get hit. It depends on the attitude of the man hit, which determined how big a deal it is or not. Can't see letting this guy get away with this.
What a load of bs smh. NOT ACCEPTABLE & zero excuse! It should never happen, let alone all the time ugh. The problem isn't who leaked the footage.... The problem is anyone thinking its ok & making excuses 🙄
I believe the warriors know the true reason for Green to snap. Sometimes people have to vent. And sometimes people are so overstrained, they can't handle the situation well. But then it doesn't help to blame your teammate for the wrong he did but to help him overcome the reasons why everything went south ...
Is this the excuse for all the other things that he’s done in the past? They have tried to help him in the past as they have had him seeing a specialist for dealing with his anger issues. I would be sympathetic but he doesn’t appear to really be trying to get better as this only shows that he’s gotten worse.
@@cycleoflife565 oh, I can't tell if he is a shit character, a troubled soul, whatever... but I believe the warriors know, so I am most interested in how his teammates treat him from now on.
The last guy is right on point. It was totally personal with that punch. green is jealous of up and coming stars, he was jealous of KD and I don't like KD. green needs to go and make the team whole again.
Marcus Smart had the best take.. It's true brothers fight sometimes... I'm sure anyone with siblings, close friends, or been on a competitive sport team can agree. This is just being blown way out of proportion because Draymond is considered a public figure and his video was leaked.... I'm sure that this happens all the times in pro-team practices of any sport like mentioned by other people in this video... . Practice gets competitive, trash talking happens. What I don't understand is people are so bothered by this Draymond/Poole drama but don't have that same energy when NBA players actually fight live during games... They somehow applaud that.
Naw Fr it’s lame someone leaked the video because what happens at practice is not meant for everyone to see ya he should’ve never punched him but now it’s out and people gone be judging and etc but like Damion said “what happens behind close doors should stay that way “
So basically nobody in the Warriors actually cares and condones this violence is what I'm hearing from Steph and Steve Kerr? WTF!???? Is this a joke? Move on he says? Draymond is part of our plans he says? Like a championship is more important than protecting your players? So Jordan has to play with this guy? This is unbelievable
American sports are really something. In football⚽️ you never do that to a teammate, and if you do you lost respect from the whole team and get sanction from the club. You hit a teammate like Draymond did, you get sacked. Team sports should never support this. But to be fair, doesn’t surprise me from the USA. Just a few months ago, an NBA gm said racial slurs for years and he just got a sanction. Lot of NBA, NFL and MLB players act like divas and organizations can’t do anything about it (Kyrie, Antonio Brown, KD, Simmons, and more). Also, fans support this behavior by saying basketball is “hard”. Apparently, being violent and punching teammates it’s part of the game, but scoring when the rival has no chance in the last minutes is “disrespectful” lol at the end of day, american sports are pure entertainment, not sportsmanship at all.
Kwame Brown is right......they are trying to devalue Draymond for extention talks. D. Watson is a prime example of a team having knowledge of a situation and playing that hand, but they didn't anticipate Cleveland coming with the bag. The most note worthy thing was that based off the clip, Jordan and Drey were going at it. People were glancing and looking so they knew something was up and no one intervened............
Everybody is fired,till I find out who released it to TMZ. Say's it all, Jordan put you're dukes up,if someone gets in you're space. A lesson learned, he's young.
Smart I'm 1 of 4 and have fought many times with my siblings and never have anyone punched each other like that. That was a real trash sucker punch move.
i absolutly agree with steve kerr. its something that the warriors have to deal with and no one should stick their nose in their problems. yall have to chill and let them deal with the problem in their way. if people stick their nose in their business, its just gonna make things worse. just let them do what they consider right and stop making such a fuss over that incident

@@albundy7233 tried replying to your TMZ comment but wasn’t allowing me to submit the comment on that thread. TMZ doesn’t pay “top dollar”, TMZ paid $1,000 for the photo of Whitney Houston dead in her bathroom, they’re not gonna pay more for a punch lmfao.
I’m the youngest in my family and I have a vivid memory of superman punching my oldest sister on Christmas Day when I was like 11 cause she broke my ps3 controller 😭
But once you’re a grown ass man at 6’8 250lbs I don’t think you should be punching anyone like Dray did fr. He could’ve left him unconscious💀
@@KobeLoverTatum 1,000 bucks for Whitney Houston. Whitney houstons old news and dude probably didn't know how to negotiate. I've seen 250k offer and your supposed to make it a bidding war
One of the coaches was walking simultaneously with Draymond and didn't try to stop him!
Because you really dont expect teammates to try and kill a fellow teammate lol He went UFC superman punch on a skinny dude
That coach followed Green over to Poole and never did anything to stop the incident from escalating. Even when Green tried to walk thru Poole he just stood there. What was the point of him being there? He did absolutely nothing.
@@cycleoflife565 Because these "Coaches" aren't policemen. They fear to get hit with friendly fire too ! And, they don't want the players to think they are against them. They are very expendable.
Kwame spittin lowkey😂🔥
You gonna see draymond with the same stupid ass take in 5 years. The quadruple single gods
Was Kwame the last one? Couldn't tell who it was...
@@cnelsonlv99 He talks in a specific way....gotta be him
@@solomonnie6108 Cool... was trying to figure that out
Kwame a bum but he low key got the iq most players don’t get to show they’re brain
I don’t know what type of dysfunctional families these players come from, but no sir all families don’t fight like that. All siblings don’t fight. I wish my brother would THINK to punch me like that.
It’s so sad to see all of these people who are suppose to be the “college educated”, “ self disciplined “, “wealthy” folks constantly trying to make excuses for this behavior.
NOBODY HAS SAID YET THAT ITS WRONG.
Full stop.
Curry came the closet to saying enough without saying to much on anything.
Everybody else worried about the leak or justifying the behavior.
Truly sad to see.
dude, its bc this in sth that should be dealed by the warriors and not by us. its their problem and not ours. let it be and dont stick your nose in their business. this shouldve never been leaked bc like i said, its sth that only the warriors have to deal with. sure it was wrong what dray did, but like most of the interviewed athletes said, it happens all the times. we all forget, that those players are just human beeings with their own faults and nobody is perfekt. and in the first place we dont know the whole story, so we shouldnt judge them for what has happened
As you threaten your brother lol most aren’t college educated either. I went to a d2 school and didn’t have to go to class, I could only guess the higher up d1 programs are getting off even easier
That's the result of living an enabled life. Maybe if he has a true friend, if someone can successfully confront him and demand an honest answer: besides the money it'll cost you, do you have any regret, any remorse at all? The real story would reveal much more than all the Kerr "no comments", all the public and private Green apologies with or without him bringing up his mother as some throw in to prove the credibility of his apology as real and heartfelt.
That’s crazy how people talking about the “snitch” instead of the issue at hand. Dude got cold clocked, that was a potentially DEADLY hit. Fuck Draymond, if the warriors or NBA don’t come hard on this it’s going to open a slippery slope. It’s never acceptable to put hands on someone. It’s not like this is his first incident either he’s KNOWN as a dirty player. One year suspension should be in order.
Exactly
mr Bryan you're 100% correct!!!
While I don't know about the 1 year suspension I agree that the focus shouldn't be on the person releasing the footage. I see it more as an important act of whistle blowing. There's been a lot of talk about mental health issues in the NBA in recent years. How can we say player's mental health is important and at the same time argue physical acts of violence during practices should be kept under the cover and not talked about publicly.
Deadly though? Lol 😂 that made my day
I hate everything about the situation, but-
should michael jordan have been suspended for one year for clocking kerr?
I wonder how many years would be missing from players careers if your idea was implemented...
those who know, know it happens at times, and people deal with it outside of the media/public eye
the only time i know of a significant injury happening was bobby portis jr vs mirotic at bulls practice- concussion and broken facial bones, and portis was suspended for 8 games by the team.
It’s not the fact he punched him it’s the fact JP HAD HIS HANDS DOWN they just talking basketball talk & draymond mad he washed up
Naahh....that was a hate punch
Stephen Jackson never got that mad at a teammate but he went into the stands with Ron Artest 😂
To fight
With him not against him so wants the point of your comment
after someone in the crowd threw something on him.
@@kasheemstephens4546 exactly people dumb asf tryna compare the two! One is fighting with your bro against an unknown number of strangers and potential threats and the other is tryna take your Bros head off superman punch style
yea they were throwing hands at the ops. Not their own teammates 😂
Marcus smart just compared you fighting with your siblings to green punching Poole imagine 😂😂tf you on
Green was having a bad day and seemed to be looking for a fight, thus the way he stalked Poole and provoked him into pushing him by invading his personal space.
@@cycleoflife565 You figured all of that out from a 30 second silent 380p video….smfh…
@@BIG_DRU Green stated that he is/was going through personal issues that he was dealing with the day of the practice. Why would he bring that up other than to use it as a reason (or excuse) for his behavior? Poole and him have lockers next to one another and likely have constant bantering going on between them as both are talkers obviously. Combine all of that with his known issues with managing his anger and it all came together at the wrong time. Poole isn’t a physical threat to Green so there was no deterrent in his mind in provoking a physical confrontation against his better judgement.
Do you have an alternative explanation?
Dray should let JP hit him back. one sucker punch cancels out another one
It’s not a suckerpunch if he’s expecting it. And it’s for suckers
@@purpleplantain374 that's the thing. He was not expecting it. Who really thinks a teammate that has 5+ inches on you and 50+ pounds on you will swing at you?
If Poole doesn't get his get back on his own, then he'll lose all respect in the league and in general, not to mention his self respect as a man.
It's ok if he doesn't start another fight as long as some other dude doesn't pummel him, maybe he's not a fighter, so he can move on.
But if the warriors hold Dre down while Poole punches him, then that's despicable behavior.
@@linosanchez1234 No if Dray let JP hit him Dray wouldnt be sucker puched was his point I think
@@shadow_realm47 No not at all, you are completely wrong on everything get your head out the hood
Iv never loved anyone to the point of punching them in the face especially family and friends and co workers
That's some fucked up shit coming out of Marcus "smart" mouth
i guess you’ve never really loved then…..
Stephen Jackson's out here talking about how you shouldn't pick on younger teammates. The entire reason the Spurs cut him was because he was walking around practice mouthing off about how he was better than Kawhi and said he deserved to be starting over Danny Green.
This was during Kawhi's second year and Danny's second FULL season. They finally had enough and cut him just before the start of the playoffs. A few months later, Danny set an NBA Finals record for most 3-pointers made.
Saying you’re better than a teammate isn’t the same as picking on them. That is just pride (sometime delusional but still).
@@cycleoflife565 The problem is that he was openly talking trash about 2 guys (turns out it was actually Green and Ginobili, not Kawhi). No big deal with Manu, but Green was young, impressionable, and easily rattled. If you know Danny's game, you know how terrible he plays on the road when it's a hostile crowd.
So it had the same effect as picking on him. The intent was to make Danny question his talents, which was especially sensitive at the time because he hadn't established himself as a legit starter, he was insanely streaky, he was constantly getting chewed out by Pop (to the point where Pop would sometimes yell at Danny if KAWHI made a mistake), and he'd already been cut by the Spurs once before.
@@randomtees Sounds like Pop was setting the tone for ill advised behavior by picking on his players.
you my team mate... you hit me like I ain't know you😂😂😂
Warriors front office prob leaked the video for leverage for Draymond’s contract coming up. it’s all part of front offices plan
True someone needs to take a paycut, hence draymond will either be forces to take a paycut or other teams willing to risk taking in a person with anger management
Front office probably more happy this happened LMAO. Taking a pay cut would be the the best way to earn everybody’s trust back and to show he’s willing to make this run last
Exactly.
he wont be tslking a pay cut . The real question is can they win it all without Dremond ? Doubt it . Can they win it without Poole? Yep .
Nah
They just could trade him
Now
His value is 0
this shows that MJ is really above criticism. He laid hand on Kerr but still got praised by all for his passion and competitiveness.
Paul Pierce: Draymond, they don't love you like that. 🤣
Draymond isn't the goat
We didn’t see it that’s what it really is
There is no way you compared Draymond to Jordan?
Draymond is not the face of the franchise😂 he’s not mj
so you didn't hear Kerr when he said he was being extra with the fouling the day he got hit🤔
I know arguments and fights happen between teammates all the time. But if attacking your teammates with that level of viciousness and violence is normal in NBA locker rooms, then the NBA is a highly toxic work environment. Someone needs to investigate because people are being battered and abused at work. Draymond could have broken that kid’s jaw.
I like ol’boys reaction from the Celtics bruh he knows what’s up and dame
I agree 100% with Kwame Brown. Find that snitch and fire his ass! No more practices until that person is found
Draymond sure is jolly talking about the situation
He knew he was going to get off light and able to continue to do as he pleases with little to no ramifications. Smug bastard.
Marcus Smart fighting your brother and sister while you are thirties is serious sh-t! Let's get real.
What scares me is the fact that several players say this happens more often than you (us the public) think…… like what the hell?
I’ve fought w/ teammates before…..it’s never personal, and most times it ends there.
GSW released it. They don't want to pay draymond. And they want the fan base to understand why when they trade him. But this also makes it harder for any team to trade for him. Dray will never get a big contract again.
Kwame 100% right. Someone wants green to face the mob.
I am against the punch and fighting in general regardless, but doesn’t mean every one in the NBA and outside need to dictate what should happen next.
How exactly can anyone outside of the NBA dictate what should happen next?
Stop tolerating bad behavior from him. He is a role model to young people!
People are being extremely dismissive. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. This should not be referred to as a “normal day in the office”. His behavior was unacceptable in this setting no matter how you analyze it. His decision cannot be justified, so his behavior should have serious consequences. He didn’t punch his brother or cousin at a cookout- he assaulted his colleague/teammate within his place of employment. He is very talented, but time and time again he has proven to be disorderly and emotionally unstable.
warriors have allowed draymond to do stuff like this with a slap on the wrist at most. Even draymond knows bob myers kerr are softies
draymond wild for that..
I agree with the last clip, this happens often, they need to fix things with the organization
It seems the higher you climb, the more careful you have to be with your words. Until you get to the very top, then you don't give af anymore
you hit me like we didnt know each other hahahaha xd
I don’t care what Draymond or anybody say, he don’t really fuck wit JP like that. Bros catch fades all the time, but it’s respectful and niggas shake hands after. He literally walked up on lil bro and socked him like he was a op. Ain’t no being cool after that
Now we know why Smart is so tough, man 😅
There's probably atleast 10 videos like that in the NBA but organisations just protect their stars better than what GSW is willing to do for Draymond.
GS did not want this video leaked, I promise you. They've got a rat in their organization!
@@cnelsonlv99 It's funny people worried about a "rat" rather than the 240lb man-child that sucker punches his 190lb teammate!
@@cnelsonlv99 how can you say that? Theres a strong chance GS wanted the video leaked so they could get draymond out of max talks.
They’ve been protecting this clown his entire career. It’s why he continues to do stupid shite like this as he knows the team will give a gentle tap on the wrist and be done with it.
@@blingman78 Poole is a man it doesn’t matter how much he weighs clown…..
stephen jackson: "I have never done that"
everybody in Detroit: -_-
I was waiting for someone to comment this😂
Steve Kerr is probably the most traumatized by this.
This was planned so that draymond won’t get the max. They want to destroy his legacy and any offer from other teams. I don’t even think they will retire his jersey. Of course, it’s not okay to punch your own teammate like that you are a heavy weight compare to Jordan. Whatever happens in the gym or locker room should stay like that without the world knowing.
I can definitely see that. If I was an owner I might do the same thing. But draymond is the dumbass who put his chips on the line & let me off as the owner. Now i have a reason not to pay you , that i been looking for.
I’m 6’9” at 285 lbs and would love to meet Draymond. Know what I’m sayin?
Sometimes when you talk too much smack, that smack; will smack you back. You just have to be ready for it, and you best be expecting it, cause you just might deserve it. Believe me, eventually you will get smacked, no matter where or who you work with. POOLE
TBH if steph or Klay would have punched Poole different story. But the fact that it was Draymond makes it worse because he is always running his mouth to other players and doing disrespectful shit like kicking ppl in the nuts. Lucky nobody has punched him yet. He can dish it but definitely can not take it.
All these dudes who are saying this stuff happened everyday and seems like it no big deal, are saying that because they didn't get hit. It depends on the attitude of the man hit, which determined how big a deal it is or not. Can't see letting this guy get away with this.
What a load of bs smh. NOT ACCEPTABLE & zero excuse! It should never happen, let alone all the time ugh. The problem isn't who leaked the footage.... The problem is anyone thinking its ok & making excuses 🙄
Dont forget, Jordan clocked the head coach, Steve Kerr, also. #23 never got supsended...
Poole gave the footage. tied of being bulled, and no one does anything.
I believe the warriors know the true reason for Green to snap.
Sometimes people have to vent. And sometimes people are so overstrained, they can't handle the situation well.
But then it doesn't help to blame your teammate for the wrong he did but to help him overcome the reasons why everything went south ...
Is this the excuse for all the other things that he’s done in the past? They have tried to help him in the past as they have had him seeing a specialist for dealing with his anger issues. I would be sympathetic but he doesn’t appear to really be trying to get better as this only shows that he’s gotten worse.
@@cycleoflife565 oh, I can't tell if he is a shit character, a troubled soul, whatever... but I believe the warriors know, so I am most interested in how his teammates treat him from now on.
@@christophrauscher3520 No one has come forward from the team in support of him.
@@cycleoflife565 Perhaps I don't want to believe Green is shit ...
Marcus smart literally said he would put hands on his sister Americans are different bro
Where I'm from every time I see Draymond it's on 💯
The last guy is right on point. It was totally personal with that punch. green is jealous of up and coming stars, he was jealous of KD and I don't like KD. green needs to go and make the team whole again.
That's right everybody fired into we figure out who gave that video to tmz
That punch had nothing to do with arguing in practice..Draymond been wanting to hurt Poole for a while and it showed..end of the story
It's funny how public relations kicks in when footage gets leaked...
Marcus Smart had the best take.. It's true brothers fight sometimes... I'm sure anyone with siblings, close friends, or been on a competitive sport team can agree. This is just being blown way out of proportion because Draymond is considered a public figure and his video was leaked.... I'm sure that this happens all the times in pro-team practices of any sport like mentioned by other people in this video... . Practice gets competitive, trash talking happens.
What I don't understand is people are so bothered by this Draymond/Poole drama but don't have that same energy when NBA players actually fight live during games... They somehow applaud that.
Yep
@@lagoniahayes9339 True brothers sucker punch one another? You be delusional.
Naw Fr it’s lame someone leaked the video because what happens at practice is not meant for everyone to see ya he should’ve never punched him but now it’s out and people gone be judging and etc but like Damion said “what happens behind close doors should stay that way “
So basically nobody in the Warriors actually cares and condones this violence is what I'm hearing from Steph and Steve Kerr? WTF!???? Is this a joke? Move on he says? Draymond is part of our plans he says? Like a championship is more important than protecting your players? So Jordan has to play with this guy? This is unbelievable
If that's what you heard you need to take a comprehension class
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 these are direct quotes so you might wanna take a hearing class and stop butt-sucking the team.. your lips are red.
American sports are really something. In football⚽️ you never do that to a teammate, and if you do you lost respect from the whole team and get sanction from the club. You hit a teammate like Draymond did, you get sacked. Team sports should never support this. But to be fair, doesn’t surprise me from the USA.
Just a few months ago, an NBA gm said racial slurs for years and he just got a sanction. Lot of NBA, NFL and MLB players act like divas and organizations can’t do anything about it (Kyrie, Antonio Brown, KD, Simmons, and more).
Also, fans support this behavior by saying basketball is “hard”. Apparently, being violent and punching teammates it’s part of the game, but scoring when the rival has no chance in the last minutes is “disrespectful” lol at the end of day, american sports are pure entertainment, not sportsmanship at all.
soccer not a sport
@@Exxperiment626 american after all
So you sign up to beef in practice? That’s in your contract? Lol
Guys out of control period .If i was Jordon Poole definitely no forgiveness
Stephen Jackson was a lot more logical than I thought he would have been. Big Ups
Kwame Brown is right......they are trying to devalue Draymond for extention talks. D. Watson is a prime example of a team having knowledge of a situation and playing that hand, but they didn't anticipate Cleveland coming with the bag. The most note worthy thing was that based off the clip, Jordan and Drey were going at it. People were glancing and looking so they knew something was up and no one intervened............
poole does seem like a troll and dray definitely has anger issues... that's a bad mix.
he didn't sucker punch him, he did it right in front of him..
Steve Kerr would know😂
This is a sleeper comment 😂
incase y’all don’t know apparently mj socked the shit out that mf
Oh no no no
lol steve kerr punched MJ first though
🌽'y
Dame kept it 💯
I love Smart's statement.
Warrior's unite!!....and win, people forget very quickly.
1:00 said it best
If NBA players want to be role models, then they have to stop punching each other in the head.
In life we make decisions, but you don't get to chose the outcome of your consequences.
Even Pat BEv said they should never happen and his a instigator
Everybody is fired,till I find out who released it to TMZ. Say's it all, Jordan put you're dukes up,if someone gets in you're space. A lesson learned, he's young.
If Drey would've punched a white man like that, his career would've likely been over& he definitely would've got harsh punishment!
look i spazzed out.. lol literally
Smart I'm 1 of 4 and have fought many times with my siblings and never have anyone punched each other like that. That was a real trash sucker punch move.
Damn Poole def gonna have a black eye 👁 😳
I PLAYED SPORTS SINCE 4 BASKETBALL, SOFTBALL, FOOTBALLS,VOLLEYBALL RAN TRACK, BOXING IT'S FIGHTS IN ALL SPORTS💯👍
People way too comfortable Talking crazy to others thinking it’s ok, That there’s no consequences
If anybody leaked that Tape it is Klay Thompson lmfao think about it that man wild 😂
i absolutly agree with steve kerr. its something that the warriors have to deal with and no one should stick their nose in their problems. yall have to chill and let them deal with the problem in their way. if people stick their nose in their business, its just gonna make things worse. just let them do what they consider right and stop making such a fuss over that incident
