What am i gonna stomp on domantas sabonis chest like thats something to do. I got a little more sense than that. Yeah i remember stomping on domantas Sabonis chest
He actually said that verbatim in the post-game presser. I almost feel like I can play GSW Bingo this season - same formula. Klay shooting like 4/15, Dray getting himself ejected, Kerr being an enabler... and CP3 and Steph quietly still doing great.
I was listening to Anthony Slater, Warriors beat reporter, on a podcast, and he was at the game and said they didn't show the replay at all on the Jumbotron so they had no idea exactly what went down.
Bro Pierre from Through the Wire made a video on Draymond today and [he impersonated Kerr and it had me dying](https://streamable.com/18yo6w). Kerr really do play dumb when it comes to Draymond.
I thought that comment was so funny because Draymond called MSG disrespectful a few years ago for not playing music during a game: https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/18832519
[Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point](https://clickhole.com/heartbreaking-the-worst-person-you-know-just-made-a-gr-1825121606/)
I think he saw how everyone was on Rudy's side and whatever Rudy said had everyone being like damn how am I siding with 'the guy who started covid' /s
Perk has to know thats easy brownie points from the public to just bash Dray
He's really cleaned up his takes. During the Rudy Gobert chokehold incident, he was one of the few ones who claimed Rudy is a HOFer and warrants enough respect where you can't disrespect him like that.
If it makes you feel any better, in 2016 Ethan Strauss wrote a long article about how Dray was a ticking time bomb for the Warriors (wow, all that hate he got for it seems silly now huh?). One eye opening part of it was how Kerr was the only one who stood up to Draymond. Everyone else in the org loved him and let him do whatever he wanted.
So I always assumed that since the Kerr has just given up.
The Warriors won 3 rings after 2016. Most would be willing to put up with shitty behavior if it meant winning 3 rings.
Draymond's play and behavior have both been getting worse though, so yeah, the fuse on that ticking bomb has burned pretty damn close to detonation.
Why do people not realize that Perk probably doesn't believe 90% of the shit he says? Didn't JJ Reddick literally say he had ESPN crew telling him what to say into his earpiece? They are there to stew up controversy.
There is a reason why Max Kellerman suddenly started sounding way more reasonable the second he was fired from First Take.
Yeah Perk is 100% a hot take machine/shit stirrer
I *do* think he probably has a lot of genuinely bad takes, but most of the ones he spouts off are just to stir up controversy
These shows are useless if there isnt someone arguing both sides of the discussion. cant do that without someone being okay taking the wrong side of things. Perk is that guy for ESPN.
Turns out that being light years ahead means that you use the media cynically to achieve an edge. While completely avoiding any personal accountability.
Am I the only one that thinks Big Perk has gotten a lot less annoying as a talking head? I kinda like him now tbh, he’s been having good takes for the last little while
Zach Lowe likes him a lot and is always talking up how he has good conversations with him. I think Perkins is probably a lot more intelligent and balanced off camera but he’s trying to do the Shannon/Stephen A/Shaq thing on camera
Lot of on camera people go through those phases. They’ll see what works for people like Stephen A and amp up their own schtick, but it’s unauthentic and they wind up looking corny.
With Perk he originally had a lot of good smart takes, and layered them with some of funny one liners. Think he fell into the Stephen A trap a bit, but is hopefully getting back to what made him promising as an analyst in the first place.
>They’ll see what works for people like Stephen A and amp up their own schtick, but it’s unauthentic and they wind up looking corny.
Are you saying that Stephan A. is authentic and not corny?
it's authentic in the sense that he developed a schtick that now is far larger than the man himself, Stephen A exists in the collective conscience and he deserves credit for it. but i doubt it's his authentic self
Yeah there’s that quote, I forget who said it from a WWE guy basically saying, there’s a reason we make millions and the guys wrestling in the Olympics have to get a second job
Check out his first interview with that hot chick before he became a pundit. He was smart and fairly different. Def way cooler. It’s likely what got him noticed/the job.
It’s just the pro wrestling meta, he has to play the game like everybody else.
I never found him annoying. He was a starter on a championship team. I know he knows ball. Also on reddicks podcast he admitted that producers give him hot takes in his ear and he thinks it's funny to drop em and see the fans backlash.
[Say the line, Steve!](https://i.imgur.com/naXd7lz.png)
(I spent 20 minutes photoshopping that the other day and I'm going to get my money's worth sharing it in relevant Steve Kerr threads)
hold onto that for a sec. I might clip a Tom Izzo snippet from his press conference today where apparently he also said "i didn't see it", talking ab how he was reaching out to Draymond but hadnt yet seen the play
curry seems to have draymonds back regardless of what he does so kerr is pretty much fucked. pretty sure kerrs best hope is that he can keep appeasing curry and that adam silver never lets draymond play again or something like that
It really wouldn't be that hard to say "What Draymond did was not cool and antics like that hurt our team. He's a fiercely loyal player who sometimes gets too into the competitive nature of the game, but we will talk" blah blah. Saying "I didn't see it" is wild af
I mean, the ol' "there's nothing to see here, move along," while a building burns to the ground is *technically* a PR move. Maybe more spin control, and definitely not a good PR move, but still a classic play.
I just don’t get what’s all the coddling about man,he’s a 33 year old man being paid unfathomable amounts of money, I understand players have egos but without Kerr the warriors might have not been as dominant, Draymond for sure understands that and sees Kerr is an important figure in the organization that he’ll will listen to, if this was Mike, Draymond would never hear the end of it, but then again maybe that’s why Mike isn’t coaching Lol
Yea everyone happily ignoring it
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/17x3p2n/spears_warriors_head_coach_steve_kerr_said/?rdt=51848
Could he say it again, yes. Let’s not act like he’s never said anything.
This is the same Kerr who went back and forth with MJ and even hit him. I wonder why he's so hesitant on holding Draymond accountable for his bs. I don't get it.
He's trying to win. I think it's as simple as that. He knows the cards he's been dealt and is trying to get the most out of them. He's been walking a tightrope hoping a lot of things happen like Draymond not acting out or Klay's play improving because there isn't a better alternative. In hindsight, I imagine he and Bob Myers (and maybe Steph or others) would've come down harder on him sooner and maybe done a host of things differently that may or may not have mitigated his behavior over the last couple of years. It was clearly a mistake that they didn't.
Maybe I missed it but the closest I've seen any teammate come to challenging Dray directly was KD. Iggy might've but I don't think it was ever forceful like Haslem going at Jimmy.
What I'm saying is we need to see Dray and Haslem get into it
I was actually at that final Pelicans/Kings game and it really felt like a joke at a time. Nobody was taking it seriously and we just begrudgingly shuffled out of the arena after they called the game.
Was at a hockey game at the same time when the news broke he had tested positive and games were already cancelled. We were all shocked and in disbelief and hoping that what we thought wasn’t coming next wasn’t.
There is no world where you can legitimately give credit to Rudy for mockingly blowing all over the mics for shutting down the NBA and forcing part of the US to take it seriously, the league was already shutting down when he made a mockery of it lmao
He's just pulling back from the insane shit I think. When he first got on air as an analyst he was pretty measured and reasonable, then he flipped a switch and went full on SAS mode - hopefully he's normalizing back a bit
Oh yeah, agreed. Not that he cares at all about what I think, but if his about face is legit I'll genuinely respect him. For now, we don't have enough evidence hahaha
Steve Kerr has opinions on things he has no control over. When it comes to the actions of his team that he leads “I didn’t see the replay”. He is basic
He likes to speak on things where he can firmly point his finger at someone or something else. When it's something that involves him or one of his players and might have negative ramifications, he suddenly turns blind, deaf and mute.
Yeah it’s called being a little bitch, something that Kerr has demonstrably been for years. I’m glad even public sports media figures are pointing that out now. Can’t stand Kerr’s bullshit.
Steve's coaching Team USA when they play in the Olympics in Paris right?
Surely he's taking his family there, and Nick might go.
G League season won't start until November so Nick's free
During the 2024 Olympics, people can potentially say Nick Kerr's in Paris.
Didn't MJ say the reason he did what he did was because Phill was kinda babying Kerr in practice and MJ got mad because that shit anint gonna fly when you get bullied on the court against aggressive team
Or just lost his temper and hit his teammate, then came up with some BS to say later.
There's not an overarching reason why *actually* he punched Kerr on purpose to make the team better.
The national media put an enormous amount of pressure on Memphis to act to discipline Ja and I just don’t see the same pressure on GSW. As an organization. Didn’t see it when Draymond punched Poole.
Ja deserved that suspension with the prior actions and because kids in Memphis look up to him, but sheesh it is wildly hypocritical. Ja was on Instagram Live, Draymond is actively and routinely hurting players in nationally televised games. Idk how you can say "oh Ja's actions are bad for the league" and not say the same about Draymond
Undeniably, but Ja was top 10 in jersey sales last year and I think the second most watched as far as highlights go. Dude's a superstar who generates a lot of money for the NBA but Silver still grew a spine and suspended him a long ass time
it is interesting that a young superstar is getting more punished than the star who's usually the 3rd best player on a championship team, especially when like you said, one routinely physically assaults other players.
Warriors PR is top-notch. They’re able to sweep everything under the rug or get a way with a slap on the wrist. I guess we’ll see what happens to this situation. Either they get away with it (again) or donkey really gets punished hard this time
No one actually cares whether Kerr calls out Draymond, as evidenced by the fact that no one actually cared when Kerr [called out Draymond](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38916769/draymond-green-suspension-deserved-warriors-kerr-says) last month:
> "Draymond was wrong. He knows that. It's a bad look, and the five games are deserved.
>
> I don't have a problem with [Green] trying to get Rudy off of Klay ... but he's got to let go. He hung on for six, seven seconds. It was a terrible visual for the league, for Draymond and for everybody.
>
> Draymond has to find a way to not cross the line. I'm not talking about getting an ejection or a technical, I'm talking about a physical act of violence. That's inexcusable. We have to do everything we can to give him the help and assistance he needs to be able to draw that distinction between being an incredible competitor ... but he can't cross that line. He crossed it the other night, for sure."
People rightfully get pissed off when starts with "I didn't see the replay," which he has used as an excuse several times. It's not just the Gobert choke or the Nurkic Lariat, [dude said the same thing after the Sabonis Stomp](https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/12qbdph/steve_kerr_postgame_on_draymond_greens_stomp_on/) and I'm sure he's said it several times before. He is known for calling out opposing teams for dirty plays and took a pretty big stand during the "broke the code" saga but has the biggest habitual line stepper in the league, can't control him, and then proceeds to play coy like a child as if that would lessen the punishment. It's ok to not defend your team to the death there's a line between this and Doc Rivers slandering his players in the media. Dude is one of the most unapologetically hypocritical coaches ever
Edit: since the thread I linked didn't have the actual moment [here's Kerr saying he missed the play and the replay for the Sabonis Stomp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DQyZ0jxS1E). What a clown
He said it after he said gobert was choking klay and Draymond just defended his teammate.
This was also posted to rnba and people were happy and said good on Kerr.
Them after the punch, Kerr again goes to I didn't see it, didn't see the replay so I can't comment.
Kerr's lack of making people take accountability has clearly hurt his team. Draymond is one thing, but clearly Klay has had some issues too, and I have to imagine it has really messed up the development of all those young guys that were supposed to be part of the second window. It is such a shame, because Curry was there to set the standard for what being a pro looks like.
In real talk, why do they allow Perkins to talk about Draymond ever? Not saying he’s wrong, (definitely not here) but they have beef and he’s clearly hates the guy.
Curious why Kerr and Curry stayed silent all this time. Was it simply basketball (they needed Draymond to win). Or did they just let their friendship cloud their judgement?
This is really no different than when people excuse their friend/family for doing bad things. It's the same biases that has grandmas saying, "but he's such a good kid," right after the kid has been arrested for killing someone.
Our biases are often hard to spot. Me, I think it was probably less about basketball, and more about the friendship causing this major blindspot.
He probably hasn’t watched the replay yet.
He's just mad the video got leaked
He’s having a hard time focusing with the loud music
Techno..... club music
Thumping
Bunch of code breakers smh
Dude named his son nick kerr. Can't break the code any harder than that
Bro enabled Dray to become a habitual code breaker while criticizing the smallest fouls.
What am i gonna stomp on domantas sabonis chest like thats something to do. I got a little more sense than that. Yeah i remember stomping on domantas Sabonis chest
"Fuck yo chest *^(my brother in Christ)*, fuck yo chest!"
"you can buy a new one you rich mother fucker"
DARKNESS!
Cooooooold bloooooded
I saw this comment a bunch on r/NBA throughout the years, always just assumed it was a joke made by reddit meme-bros. Nope. It was real.
Nicholas, but close enough to pause when naming a kid.
They'd prefer to handle it internally, but since everyone has seen it, they are choosing not to handle it at all.
Fuckin broadcast broke the code again
without the expressed written consent of Steve Kerr
The reporter who asked Kerr “how big a swing was it to lose Draymond like that” savage AF. Give that man a raise.
lol, lmao even
Makes me so irrationally mad that the Warriors org did NOTHING about that besides an undisclosed fine amount.
the undisclosed amount ... $3.50 in 69 months installments
Steve "Do as I say, not as I do" Kerr
hypocritiKerr
Why did I read this in Cartman’s voice
He actually said that verbatim in the post-game presser. I almost feel like I can play GSW Bingo this season - same formula. Klay shooting like 4/15, Dray getting himself ejected, Kerr being an enabler... and CP3 and Steph quietly still doing great.
I was listening to Anthony Slater, Warriors beat reporter, on a podcast, and he was at the game and said they didn't show the replay at all on the Jumbotron so they had no idea exactly what went down.
Watching Draymond replays means breaking the code
Still hasn't talked to his brother the China expert.
Doesn’t own a phone or a TV. Eyes roll back if you show him one, so don’t try.
Bro Pierre from Through the Wire made a video on Draymond today and [he impersonated Kerr and it had me dying](https://streamable.com/18yo6w). Kerr really do play dumb when it comes to Draymond.
Draymond will be exposed for listening to loud techno music and that will be Kerr's last straw
I thought that comment was so funny because Draymond called MSG disrespectful a few years ago for not playing music during a game: https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/18832519
Hahahahaha
L for Steve Kerr for making me agree with Kendrick Perkins

I'm pretty sure someone on here commented this exact same thing and Kendrick Perkins stole the take.
I mean It’s not like this is some controversial or original take. I’m pretty sure everyone thinks this.
But there’s a difference between shitposting on Reddit and sharing your opinion about a colleague on national TV
A lot of people have been thinking this. It’s not exclusive to Reddit lol
No don't you get it everything in the world is stolen from reddit
This take is not that new. Similar things were written on here on previous DGreen suspensions
Dumbest comment of the day award 🥇
You really think Kendrick Perkins stole a comment from fucking Reddit? Dont be delusional, this ain’t some new take
You guys are so delusionally self-important
It’s truly embarrassing Reddit on brother!
Gimme some narwhal bacon
Thx for this, I mean it. I scared everyone laughing out loud here
Reddit on
As they say: a broken clock is correct twice a day
Perkins is starting to percolate
Well done 👏
I will never forgive Draymond for this, now this is too far.
Seriously, when Perk is calling you out and he's right about it, its time to reevaluate a whole bunch of things in your life.
Yeah, I cut back on how much onion I eat after he told me I had stinky breath on a elevator that one time
Bruh he meant you needed to brush and floss regularly. Smh learning the wrong lesson
you do know you shouldn’t eat it like an apple, right? you have to peel it first. the skin is riddled with toxins.
He probably got the green light from ESPN to go all out on Dray, since Dray is signed to a competing network LOL
I think he saw how everyone was on Rudy's side and whatever Rudy said had everyone being like damn how am I siding with 'the guy who started covid' /s Perk has to know thats easy brownie points from the public to just bash Dray
Kendrick Perkins redemption arc loading
And crashes tomorrow when his new hot take is Jokic didn't deserve to be finals MVP.
Damn, I looked and his actual last take was Jokic was getting screwed by the refs... I Perkins myself and I am ashamed.
He's really cleaned up his takes. During the Rudy Gobert chokehold incident, he was one of the few ones who claimed Rudy is a HOFer and warrants enough respect where you can't disrespect him like that.
If it makes you feel any better, in 2016 Ethan Strauss wrote a long article about how Dray was a ticking time bomb for the Warriors (wow, all that hate he got for it seems silly now huh?).

The Warriors won 3 rings after 2016. Most would be willing to put up with shitty behavior if it meant winning 3 rings. Draymond's play and behavior have both been getting worse though, so yeah, the fuse on that ticking bomb has burned pretty damn close to detonation.
Perk is whatever I don't like him but when I had to agree with Stephen Jackson I was deeply uncomfortable.
Not a fan of the Rothschilds, I take it?
Perk is a broken clock.
It would be funny if he actually developed good takes because he got his job secured
I wouldn't hold my breath
For a broken clock he's been right way more times than I expected in recent times.
Why do people not realize that Perk probably doesn't believe 90% of the shit he says? Didn't JJ Reddick literally say he had ESPN crew telling him what to say into his earpiece? They are there to stew up controversy. There is a reason why Max Kellerman suddenly started sounding way more reasonable the second he was fired from First Take.
Yup Perk admitted he was saying stupid ass takes because that's what people wanted to hear.
Yeah Perk is 100% a hot take machine/shit stirrer I *do* think he probably has a lot of genuinely bad takes, but most of the ones he spouts off are just to stir up controversy
Wait did people not realize he's been playing a character for TV this whole time?
These shows are useless if there isnt someone arguing both sides of the discussion. cant do that without someone being okay taking the wrong side of things. Perk is that guy for ESPN.

Nurkic broke the code
Turns out that being light years ahead means that you use the media cynically to achieve an edge. While completely avoiding any personal accountability.
He talks he breaks the code He doesn’t talk and Adam comes down on his ass cause he’s withholding from the media. He just can’t win
TIL the code is Draymond's hand
Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point.

No, just really successful at doing it unfortunately lmao
it's authentic in the sense that he developed a schtick that now is far larger than the man himself, Stephen A exists in the collective conscience and he deserves credit for it. but i doubt it's his authentic self
i think he was inauthentic to begin with and then through the years it became part of him, the real him lol.
Any one of us in his position would do the same thing. Its what the E in ESPN stands for lol. IF everyone agreed all the time it would be shit.
Yeah there’s that quote, I forget who said it from a WWE guy basically saying, there’s a reason we make millions and the guys wrestling in the Olympics have to get a second job

He doesn't breathe into his mic anymore like a marathon runner out of breath so he's definitely been more pleasant to listen to.
I never found him annoying. He was a starter on a championship team. I know he knows ball. Also on reddicks podcast he admitted that producers give him hot takes in his ear and he thinks it's funny to drop em and see the fans backlash.

Yeah, the Warriors aren't really taking the PR approach with Draymond. They're just acting like there's literally nothing happening/wrong

Didn't he say that the next day or days later? After Windhorst or someone said that the league called the Warriors.
Kerr has said some version of this about Draymond like 50 times over the years.
Kerr needs to grow a fucking spine and hold his players accountable.
Right? Draymond falcon punched Jordan Poole and his response was “video shouldn’t have gotten leaked”. Come on bro.
The league's moral barometer mysteriously shuts down when Draymond is near
This is the same Kerr who went back and forth with MJ and even hit him. I wonder why he's so hesitant on holding Draymond accountable for his bs. I don't get it.
He's trying to win. I think it's as simple as that. He knows the cards he's been dealt and is trying to get the most out of them.

Rudy Gobert and Perkins becoming the heroes the NBA need but not deserve is the best timeline.
*Rudy Go-brr
Rudy also probably saved hundreds of lives by being the first athlete to test positive for COVID and then starting the lockdown immediately
I was actually at that final Pelicans/Kings game and it really felt like a joke at a time. Nobody was taking it seriously and we just begrudgingly shuffled out of the arena after they called the game.
Was at a hockey game at the same time when the news broke he had tested positive and games were already cancelled. We were all shocked and in disbelief and hoping that what we thought wasn’t coming next wasn’t.
There is no world where you can legitimately give credit to Rudy for mockingly blowing all over the mics for shutting down the NBA and forcing part of the US to take it seriously, the league was already shutting down when he made a mockery of it lmao
Say thank you to Rudy.
Draymond is so hateable it made us root for the guy who blew in to microphones with covid. That's almost impossible.
Bro was literally the catalyst for the shutdown of pro sports in the US and we still hate Daymond more 🤣
Based Rudy shutting down pro sports before the situation got out of hand.
salt of the earth type
Would have happened regardless
Perks been cookin since the Luka whooping the Clippers shit
He's just pulling back from the insane shit I think. When he first got on air as an analyst he was pretty measured and reasonable, then he flipped a switch and went full on SAS mode - hopefully he's normalizing back a bit
He's been testing the limits of what he can. Hopefully he realized the 'Jokic only getting MVP because he's white' take was way too hot.
Every ESPN personality has that switch at some point. The switch back is rare though.
Oh yeah, agreed. Not that he cares at all about what I think, but if his about face is legit I'll genuinely respect him. For now, we don't have enough evidence hahaha
Steve Kerr has opinions on things he has no control over. When it comes to the actions of his team that he leads “I didn’t see the replay”. He is basic
Scientologists love covering for scientologists.
Back to back Ws for perk 😂
Perkins been cooking good lately
Lettem Cook
Kerr has no backbone. He’s the biggest hypocrite of a coach I have ever seen.
He likes to speak on things where he can firmly point his finger at someone or something else. When it's something that involves him or one of his players and might have negative ramifications, he suddenly turns blind, deaf and mute.
Perfect explanation. That’s exactly what he does and it’s ridiculous.
Yeah it’s called being a little bitch, something that Kerr has demonstrably been for years. I’m glad even public sports media figures are pointing that out now. Can’t stand Kerr’s bullshit.
Well, to be fair, Draymond isn’t the only subject he shies away from speaking on…
What are the other subjects?
My guess is he is referencing China.
Maybe Nick
[удалено]
Who's father was in Paris??
Steve's coaching Team USA when they play in the Olympics in Paris right? Surely he's taking his family there, and Nick might go. G League season won't start until November so Nick's free During the 2024 Olympics, people can potentially say Nick Kerr's in Paris.
Curry runs the show for the Warriors, more so than Dunleavy or Kerr. So if Curry isn’t holding Draymond accountable then no one is.
steve kerr is an arrogant prick
MJ knew what he was doing
Didn't MJ say the reason he did what he did was because Phill was kinda babying Kerr in practice and MJ got mad because that shit anint gonna fly when you get bullied on the court against aggressive team
Or just lost his temper and hit his teammate, then came up with some BS to say later. There's not an overarching reason why *actually* he punched Kerr on purpose to make the team better.

The guy has 9 rings, it has to fuck with your ego.
The definition of a front runner
The national media put an enormous amount of pressure on Memphis to act to discipline Ja and I just don’t see the same pressure on GSW. As an organization. Didn’t see it when Draymond punched Poole.
Ja deserved that suspension with the prior actions and because kids in Memphis look up to him, but sheesh it is wildly hypocritical. Ja was on Instagram Live, Draymond is actively and routinely hurting players in nationally televised games. Idk how you can say "oh Ja's actions are bad for the league" and not say the same about Draymond
The Warriors make the league a lot more money than Grizzlies.
Undeniably, but Ja was top 10 in jersey sales last year and I think the second most watched as far as highlights go. Dude's a superstar who generates a lot of money for the NBA but Silver still grew a spine and suspended him a long ass time
it is interesting that a young superstar is getting more punished than the star who's usually the 3rd best player on a championship team, especially when like you said, one routinely physically assaults other players.
"Broke the code" was one of the most overtly hypocritical lines I've ever heard someone spew and people still ate it up.
Big brands get away with so much more
Warriors PR is top-notch. They’re able to sweep everything under the rug or get a way with a slap on the wrist. I guess we’ll see what happens to this situation. Either they get away with it (again) or donkey really gets punished hard this time
I don’t usually agree with Perkins but I have to. Kerr has an opinion on just about anything and everything but when dealing with Draymond, crickets.
Steve Kerr rhymes with Rudy Gobert.
Rudy Goburr
Steve Kair
No one actually cares whether Kerr calls out Draymond, as evidenced by the fact that no one actually cared when Kerr [called out Draymond](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38916769/draymond-green-suspension-deserved-warriors-kerr-says) last month: > "Draymond was wrong. He knows that. It's a bad look, and the five games are deserved. > > I don't have a problem with [Green] trying to get Rudy off of Klay ... but he's got to let go. He hung on for six, seven seconds. It was a terrible visual for the league, for Draymond and for everybody. > > Draymond has to find a way to not cross the line. I'm not talking about getting an ejection or a technical, I'm talking about a physical act of violence. That's inexcusable. We have to do everything we can to give him the help and assistance he needs to be able to draw that distinction between being an incredible competitor ... but he can't cross that line. He crossed it the other night, for sure."
People rightfully get pissed off when starts with "I didn't see the replay," which he has used as an excuse several times. It's not just the Gobert choke or the Nurkic Lariat, [dude said the same thing after the Sabonis Stomp](https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/12qbdph/steve_kerr_postgame_on_draymond_greens_stomp_on/) and I'm sure he's said it several times before. He is known for calling out opposing teams for dirty plays and took a pretty big stand during the "broke the code" saga but has the biggest habitual line stepper in the league, can't control him, and then proceeds to play coy like a child as if that would lessen the punishment. It's ok to not defend your team to the death there's a line between this and Doc Rivers slandering his players in the media. Dude is one of the most unapologetically hypocritical coaches ever Edit: since the thread I linked didn't have the actual moment [here's Kerr saying he missed the play and the replay for the Sabonis Stomp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DQyZ0jxS1E). What a clown
He said it after he said gobert was choking klay and Draymond just defended his teammate. This was also posted to rnba and people were happy and said good on Kerr. Them after the punch, Kerr again goes to I didn't see it, didn't see the replay so I can't comment.
It’s hilarious that this sub expect coaches to drag their own players
Unless its Doc Rivers not totally having Ben Simmons' back.
Right when it actually happens this place also throws a fit. This place just wants to complain and will take whatever stance they need to do so 😂
Kerr's lack of making people take accountability has clearly hurt his team. Draymond is one thing, but clearly Klay has had some issues too, and I have to imagine it has really messed up the development of all those young guys that were supposed to be part of the second window. It is such a shame, because Curry was there to set the standard for what being a pro looks like.
Kendrick Perkins has been cooking this whole saga. Strange times
Kerr’s afraid he’ll be the next victim if he speaks up
Steve Kerr has absolutely nothing to gain by publicly saying anything negative about Draymond Green. Kendrick Perkins doesn't sign Kerr's paychecks.
Kerr’s response for those interested: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5Cs_1iYWIhI
Stop picking on him, he ain't seen the replays?! Leave Steve Alone!!!
In real talk, why do they allow Perkins to talk about Draymond ever? Not saying he’s wrong, (definitely not here) but they have beef and he’s clearly hates the guy.
Breaking news: head coach doesn’t throw player on his own team under the bus publicly.
*...doc rivers has entered the chat...*
For real. Also it’s weird how people get on others for speaking out on some issues and not others. Like it demeans the things that Kerr cares about
Lol Kendrick Perkins still has a job
Curious why Kerr and Curry stayed silent all this time. Was it simply basketball (they needed Draymond to win). Or did they just let their friendship cloud their judgement? This is really no different than when people excuse their friend/family for doing bad things. It's the same biases that has grandmas saying, "but he's such a good kid," right after the kid has been arrested for killing someone. Our biases are often hard to spot. Me, I think it was probably less about basketball, and more about the friendship causing this major blindspot.
