How yall want it. One day you say he pulling the race card. Then he not for the black man. Which way yall want it? Reporter should have worded it better.
I cannot stand ESPN. This is a non topic. People are worried cause he constantly can't stay on the court cause he gets suspended. It's a fair question cause dude cannot control his temper

Idk why y’all get so triggered when a black player brings up them being black like they’re supposed to forget that
@Jdcjr1991 Did the reporter say anything about race? Black or not, he has a history of being suspended or ejected. Last season even SA made comments about his mental health. Anyone with common sense knew the underlying reason for the statement. We make things about race more than anyone.
We all knew what was meant and why the reporter asked it. Draymond has put that target on himself. It was legitimate question even how it was worded. If you have a history of getting suspended for his emotions, fans and teams are worried. The math is simple.
Not necessarily, he does pick and chose, for an example he took the stance against Kapernick and the NFL, he also champions Caitlin Clark amidst the naysayers, but I would say he is slightly off on this topic as he was actually one of the very public voices expressing concern about Draymond last year when he got suspended twice, so he is slightly hypocritical here. I want him to keep that same energy when Draymond does something remarkably stupid this year to get suspended, someone keep this video as a receipt and send it back to ESPN when they will WITHOUT A DOUBT talk about Draymond's well being.
Sorry Draymond, you dont get to use your blackness as a shield against criticisms. Just because people like SAS allow you to doesnt mean the media has to. As someone else said, this isnt a black thing, this is a YOU thing!
Stephen A smith always using race when defending draymond!! Dude is not untouchable and the stuff he was doing to teammates and others on the court was DEAD WRONG!! It’s okay he was wrong period point blank
This is capanese by steven A. Lmao the reporter aint imply anything racist at all. Draymond is a liability for making the playoffs because of his personal problems. This take from stephen a is a HUGE stretch
I don't understand how the reporter is supposed to word that question being that fans do wonder whether Draymond can actually stay on the court and help the team, I feel like race got invoked for no reason
Race has nothing to do with it….the reporter was probably just meaning his availability on the team….people should keep it at basketball and not bring in dumb politics
Draymond full of crap. Being a black man in America has nothing to do with him being unprofessional! Race had nothing to do with the question. He was referring to being there for his team. Come on this is ridiculous. There was nothing wrong with what the reporter said. Stephen A wrong again!
@maa7332 if you are still feeling oppressed in 2024 the fault is not of the oppressors but of YOURSELF. You need to let all that VICTIM MENTALITY go and take full responsibility for your own liberation mentally, physically, spiritually and financially. I don't do Victim over here.
Disappointed at the lack of understanding. Clearly he was asking from an availability standpoint. Not about his personal life, or that he’s unstable away from the court. Has nothing to do with racial undertones. We have to grow up sometime, smh.
Steph was literally crying when Draymond got kicked out of the game last season because he was so frustrated, and we all saw it, but StephenA is trying to get and stay in Draymond's good graces for some ODD reason; the reporter was right to ask Draymond that question and it has nothing to do with race, StephenA, not one thing
Facts SAS pretends like he is objective and a "real one" in the media, but he really isn't like that. It's funny how he seems to just tries to stay in good graces of Green, and for what. BE REAL SAS. As a black man, there was no racism at all implied and there are no excuses for Green respond like that. The reporter was actually cut off during his question too it seems by Green, so he didn't seem to ask fully.
As a GIANT Draymond Green fan, that reporter had every right to ask that question. This has nothing to do with race. It has to do with what’s he’s done over the last 10 years and more specifically the last 3. That is 100% a valid question.
I'm black and I'm disappointed Draymond brought race up as if it has anything to do with what the reporter was asking. Also disappointed in Stephen A for leaning into that nonsense narrative.
WORRIED ABOUT YOUR ABILITY TO STAY ON THE COURT! GEEZE! What did this have to do with race?! We're really going to act like this man wasn't suspended INDEFINITELY last year?!
This is what kills the race card argument when it's needed, but not everything is about race, so Drey injecting race into that conversation was, in my opinion, without merit. 😒
So its racist to tell people they are worried about them because of their constant on court suspensions and conduct? This Stephen A needs to get over it
I feel like you have to be kind of a crazy person to make this a racial thing. Curry, Steve Kerr and I'm sure fans of all races (Warrior fans) have worried about this in the past. They just want to have Green on the floor. I would imagine Dennis Rodman faced questions like this before and nobody made it racial.
He worded it "you know people worry about you" he didnt mention availability until after they had an exchange. So I cant blame Draymond for asking, why are they worried about me
🤡🤣🤣 there is a COMPLETE difference between emotion and passion; compared to choking people out, stomping on someone who is on the floor, kicking people in the nuts, and punching players in the face. Draymond has issues. That is abundantly clear. For the media to try to validate his bullsh!t and play the race card is both hilarious and pathetic.
Stephen A is a the wrong person to talk about. He goes personal on players all the time when the reporter was talking abouy draymonds availability being a basketball player. And its not about media day cause he was always unavailable by the time the season started.
You just mentioned what he's talking about. Race ain't got nothing to do with it. The reporter wasn't specific about it, but there is reason to be concerned about Draymond, specially with him attacking team mates. YOU ARE A PUBLIC FIGURE, supposed to be a role model. He is responsible for his own image, otherwise you will be questioned
People aren't worried about Draymond, the person off the court. They worried about Draymond the teammate, the player, the guy wearing the jersey who constantly dragged his team down last season. No one cares about old championships. What matters is they failed last year. Steph was over Draymond's drama and hopefully this year is different. I won't hold my breath though. The reporter asked a good question cause it had everything to do with his behavior as a NBA player.
This entire video was asinine. Thanks ESPN for wasting my time. Draymond is going to Draymond so next time he does some bs on the court just kick him out of the league and then maybe him and SAS will understand what that reporter was asking.
but we are worried about him. We are worried that he's gonna tweak out again and cost us something else. Where is the accountability? As a warriors fan, Draymond Green has been extremely helpful to us but he also has cost us a lot too. Two opposite things can both be right. He should expect questions like this, he's basically like someone on house arrest or with a record where he can get stopped and searched for no reason due to his continuous disruptive actions.
they both right tho… Gsw and the fans should be worried how Dray can ruin the team further and he’s right he’s not even good enough to be on the podium talking to reporters he definitely over achieved
"He's not conducting himself like an uncivilized human being." Do we, uh, need to the roll the tape of Draymond over the last half-dozen years for Stephen A.?
The question only took on a different connotation because Green spun it that way. He knows his behavior costed them games last season just like others believe his behavior costed his team a title in 2016. Stop it Green! Stop it SA
Saying a person needs to be careful how he asks a black man a reasonable question is outrageous. If a specific group can’t behave in society, the right way then they should be separated for their behavior. People need to act like humans stop looking for handicaps to behave terribly.
This is a main reason why many people DON'T like ESPN anymore. The question had nothing to do with race, Draymond is the one who brings up that he is a 'black' man, so that means he is void of any criticism. BS I hope he gets a year long suspension, the man is a lose cannon and wants to play victim all the time because he knows people like SAS will defend him no matter what
Saginaw is pretty rough... I’ve lived in Memphis , Detroit , and other rough places when I did more work out of town…that explains alot about why he acts the way he does
People are worried about if he is gonna punch someone in the face. He punched Pool in the face in training camp. U do that u deal with it. He put himself in that box
Draymond isn't very smart. Tge reporter worded the question very wrongly and stupidly but shouldn't have let him finish digging himself into a bigger hole and make him look stupid
draymond & SAS are the only ones that brought up race. the world & nba players know draymond is gonna have a game where he does an ufc move and it cost the warriors / steph a game.
Stephen A completely taking it the wrong way, we all know what the reporter meant. This got nothing to do with being a black man or doing well in life. People are worried if he’s going to be available every game or he’s going to be a nuisance like last season getting suspended every game

I didn’t think about race when the question was asked by the reporter… I thought about it was about his antics.. what is this segment?
You just mentioned what he's talking about. Race ain't got nothing to do with it. The reporter wasn't specific about it, but there is reason to be concerned about Draymond, specially with him attacking team mates. YOU ARE A PUBLIC FIGURE, supposed to be a role model. He is responsible for his own image, otherwise you will be questioned
I promise you Steven A is scared of Draymond....buddy never disagrees with him. Smh....
STOP!😂
He actually did disagree with him! They had a beef and made up so they friends now! Nothing to do with him being scared.
Seriously what does Draymond have on SAS? He acts like he’s the official defense force for him.
I always suspected Draymond is a mole for him, so that's why he always protects him.
People aren't worried about Draymond, the person off the court. They worried about Draymond the teammate, the player, the guy wearing the jersey who constantly dragged his team down last season. No one cares about old championships. What matters is they failed last year. Steph was over Draymond's drama and hopefully this year is different. I won't hold my breath though. The reporter asked a good question cause it had everything to do with his behavior as a NBA player.
Walking triple single hit the jackpot playing with the Warriors, especially Curry and Klay
This has nothing to do with race
This entire video was asinine. Thanks ESPN for wasting my time. Draymond is going to Draymond so next time he does some bs on the court just kick him out of the league and then maybe him and SAS will understand what that reporter was asking.
Here goes SA with the race card as usual
Because... most white culture is evil.
Man I miss the 90s the era that almost ended racism and the era where your comment would not exist
The question that reporter asked was stupid
but we are worried about him. We are worried that he's gonna tweak out again and cost us something else. Where is the accountability? As a warriors fan, Draymond Green has been extremely helpful to us but he also has cost us a lot too. Two opposite things can both be right.
He should expect questions like this, he's basically like someone on house arrest or with a record where he can get stopped and searched for no reason due to his continuous disruptive actions.
Reporter phrased the question poorly
And it was internal too. I think Draymond could tell and didn't take the bait
@@billycarter1798fannout 🤡
Sad that your mind goes there, really says more about you than the reporter. But sure thing man, stay woke ✊🏼
@@IrvingDL506 I don't even know what that means. Next time, save time and just scroll on by.
Ninja are you serious 😂Draymond stay getting suspended.
ESP-Reaching 😂
Draymond is never gonna get it straight. If you didn’t know how to play basketball so well he wouldn’t be so well off in life. With he’s mentality 💯💯💯
they both right tho… Gsw and the fans should be worried how Dray can ruin the team further and he’s right he’s not even good enough to be on the podium talking to reporters he definitely over achieved
"He's not conducting himself like an uncivilized human being."
Do we, uh, need to the roll the tape of Draymond over the last half-dozen years for Stephen A.?
Respectfully, this is ridiculous. It’s a basketball question.
How does Stephen A still have a job?
Because he gives race baiting takes like this that causes controversy but hikes ratings and engagement but have nothing to with the actual topic.
Why Stephen A look like his mama just told him no he cant go outside in the thumbnail?
Bruhh Stephen A should be ashamed of himself.... Dray Game 5 NBA finals.Dray punching smaller teammate.Dray saying the word "Owner" is racist. Gtfoh
What does this have to do with race? Come on. Do better
The question only took on a different connotation because Green spun it that way. He knows his behavior costed them games last season just like others believe his behavior costed his team a title in 2016. Stop it Green! Stop it SA
regardless if race had anything to do with it... that was a BAD QUESTION. It doesn't matter what we "all knew" . Questions have to be asked correctly.
Talks about race…immediately brings up race. You don’t want them to assume things…then you assume. His race, his intent, everything
People are so tired of his actions behavior that hurts the team and effects curry and when they had klay and coaches
Saying a person needs to be careful how he asks a black man a reasonable question is outrageous. If a specific group can’t behave in society, the right way then they should be separated for their behavior. People need to act like humans stop looking for handicaps to behave terribly.
Humans have always been like this YALL need to get used to people not liking you.
WOOOOOOW how did race get invloved
When tf did any of it have to do with him being black. Do these guys have schizophrenia?
Gtfoh Steven A Smith. This was a legitimate question. This has got nothing to do with race
We care about basketball. Don’t bring race or politics into it.
Didn’t draymond punch his own teammate, an opponent, and choke a guy out in one season? Legit question idk
Reporters question had nothing to do with race and more to do with Draymond's erratic and emotional outbursts.
Draymond is so defensive and emotional.. Can't believe the Warriors still have him on the team.
There's nothing wrong with what the reporter said but ALSO nothing wrong with what drey said either
This is a main reason why many people DON'T like ESPN anymore. The question had nothing to do with race, Draymond is the one who brings up that he is a 'black' man, so that means he is void of any criticism. BS I hope he gets a year long suspension, the man is a lose cannon and wants to play victim all the time because he knows people like SAS will defend him no matter what
ASSuange says he pled guilty for journalism I,m sure real journalist think he,s a douchebag
Saginaw is pretty rough... I’ve lived in Memphis , Detroit , and other rough places when I did more work out of town…that explains alot about why he acts the way he does
OF COURSE PEOPLE MAKE IT ABOUT RACE.
Because... white culture is evil.
People are worried about if he is gonna punch someone in the face. He punched Pool in the face in training camp. U do that u deal with it. He put himself in that box
Draymond isn't very smart. Tge reporter worded the question very wrongly and stupidly but shouldn't have let him finish digging himself into a bigger hole and make him look stupid
You are right, he is very intelligent. (Not in this instance like you said) All he had to do is say Im good I appreciate the concern.
draymond & SAS are the only ones that brought up race. the world & nba players know draymond is gonna have a game where he does an ufc move and it cost the warriors / steph a game.
Kevin Durant was right draymond needs weekly therapy and there’s no harm in that
We all knew what he meant, y’all acting soft n making it about race for no reason
😂😂 Golden State is done there's nothing to worry about
This dudes ego blows my mind.
Draymond acts like a crazy person and he wonders why people ask him those type of questions.
The reporter is good. 😂 But if that same question was made to a WNBA player, Stephen A Smith's answer would be: "race has nothing to do with this." 😂
Green needs to understand that he needs to be there for the team
Stephen A completely taking it the wrong way, we all know what the reporter meant. This got nothing to do with being a black man or doing well in life. People are worried if he’s going to be available every game or he’s going to be a nuisance like last season getting suspended every game
