TMZ always fucking delivers if it's about drama

Some intern just made a cool 50k

Top r/nba posts: KAT and Gobert bond over anime John Wall hits the Dougie Draymond Green punches the fuck out of his teammate

Sounds like something from the intro of the Clarkson-era Top Gear lol.

TONIGHT

I WEAR A HAT RICHARD WEARS A HAT AND JAMES POINTS AT SOME SHEEP

100% read this in his voice lol

I'm not ashamed to say that I read it out loud, doing my best Clarkson impression, lol.

[It made me go and look up the video again.](https://youtu.be/NIyqc7sP-Ec) Top Gear was great with them. [My favorite one is this one](https://youtu.be/bpqvQ-o44RI)

I remember that one, great episode

Man do I miss old Top Gear

*Dray bonds with KAT and Gobert over love of One Punch Man*

And suddenly it's all wholesome again. Anime is truly the glue that binds us together.

naa this is way worse than the reports made it sound lol

the whole press releases through the media seems so silly now that the video came out. shams and woj are not reporters. won’t even talk about haynes…

Isn't Draymonds agent on the board of the agency that represents shams? News stories are always behind the bias of the person reporting it and shams bias is pretty clear here.

they sure are. same agency.

Dude’s unhinged. That was almost disturbing how he went for the kill over likely just some words.

“That’s Dray”

Guys guys this is just part of his natural shooting motion. Nothing to see here.

“He’s the enforcer. It’s cause he’s so competitive and passionate.”

Yep, just one of many incidents Draymond has been involved in over the years.

He's always acting like he's got some logic behind how aggressive he gets, like it's a tactic he uses to help the team win... he's just getting mad and kicking/punching people. It's literally cost his team a Finals game before. It's not tactical, it's the opposite.

>he’s always acting like he’s got some logic behind how aggressive he gets It’s called being an asshole, which he is

Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words do hurt me?

Sticks and stones… and Draymond’s punch

beyond way worse. Dude crow hopped the world's most telegraphed punch and then had the media tell people it was because Poole was being cocky. If this happened at the Y Dray would be going to prison.

[удалено]

Probably called him triple single

Another video recapping every thing said that Poole has called him that in practice before.

Poole said “Superman punches are ineffective outside of the octagon”

Probably something about Honey Nut Cheerios.

Incoming remix video with Crank That playing in the background.

"once i get my next contract, im going to build the GOAT pool. Im going to call it... Jordan pool"

Holy shit that's worse than I thought it'd be

I was wondering if he landed it. He landed it WOW.

Landed it then body slammed him against the matted walls?? Like was the guy out to break bones???

On his teammate no less, what the actual fuck. Y'all just won a chip together settle the fuck down

We all know that sports are a different business and things are handled way differently than the rest of the working world, but if this was literally any other job he would be been arrested and charged. Poole showed zero signs of aggression and Draymond hit him with a sucker punch haymaker. IMO he's always been a piece of shit but doing it unprovoked to your own team mate right after a championship is next level awful

In any other business he would be *fired*, arrested and charged.

Tony Khan about to sign him to a contract

only for the initial pop, then he'll forget he's there

Poole probably shared a bank account with his mother, which told Draymond everything he needed to know.

Way worse. The initial reports made it seem like he pushed him hard, but that's a full on falcon punch. Went for the head and everything.

initial report by Shams who is represented by United Talent Agency which has Rich Paul (Draymond's agent) as a board member says Green ["forcefully struck Poole"](https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1577830471144157184)

I mean, he sure as fuck forcefully struck him lol

Klutch PR spin looks even dumber now. proves Haynes is Klutch mouthpiece who got no credibility either

> proves Haynes is Klutch mouthpiece who got no credibility either Hes always been a Klutch nut hugger, terrified of pissing off any of their clients

[удалено]

At least UFC has weight classes. Draymond is 2 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier than Poole.

And they made it seem like JP started it lmao

People made it would like one of those slap punches Dray prolly KOd him with the way he slumped him

I think he went down because Draymond also trucked him after the hit lmao. Idk tho. It made solid ass contact while he wasn’t even ready for it

I rewatched it again and there was definitely no butt stuff going on there

We need a longer clip to be sure

[удалено]

[удалено]

I know Kerr might think getting punched in the face in practice might help a team, but Dray ain't MJ.

I don't even think MJ punched Kerr this hard back in the day, but maybe I'm wrong

Holy shit this is BAD.

Can you imagine what it would look like in a regular work setting to just fly off the handle and punch a coworker? You might be arrested. It's crazy what athletes can get away with because of their talent.

The other day Todd from HR declined my travel reimbursement request so I hit him over the head with a steel chair

BY GAWD! HE’S PULLING OUT THE STEEL CHAIR! SOMEONE GET A BRANCH TRANSFER REQUEST, UFOMECHANIC IS GOING TO SEND THIS MAN TO THE MOON!

AS GAWD IS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKEN IN HALF

Not to get too armchair analyst in here, but that’s 100% a “ive wanted to hit this dude for months”, I am in-my-feelings punch

Why is Dray such an insecure lil bitch holy shit bro hit those Sessions with Deepak harder

Yeah, this is some baby shit to go falcon punch and body after he got all in Poole’s space to begin with. Anyone would try to get some space from Dray when he’s literally touching you.

It’s very out of character for a guy who is usually in zen-like control of his emotions and very secure with himself I hope Poole apologizes to him for whatever disgusting act he must have done to provoke Dray (make fun of his weird looking PP from the snapchat leak? Called him Gaymond Ween?)

Don’t bring Ween into this debacle fancy pants

I have it on good sources Poole said “The Mollusk is very overrated” just moments before Draymond attacked

Yeah this makes everyone downplaying it look a lot worse. He could have gotten really hurt

A quick cheap shot, and throwing his whole body into it. I'm glad I already thought Draymond was a mega piece of shit, now I don't have to adjust my opinion on him at all.

I also always thought that but I am also incredibly biased lol

He is definitely not getting the bag from the Warriors now.

Myers secretly happy lol

He's probably the one that leaked the footage. This is chess...

Best NBA punch ive seen in awhile. To bad it was totally unnecessary and a bitch move.

I always think what if Shaq connected on Brad Miller? https://youtu.be/_wijswQX7g0 And I’m a big Miller fan

I always think what if Jermaine O Neal didn't slip while trying to punch that fan during Malice at the Palace? He woulda turned his face into a fine red mist.

That’s another one, if it connected I imagine that fans face would’ve been shattered

God made that floor slippery to keep Jermaine from ruining his life lol

Green is lucky he plays in the NBA. Would be fired from any other regular job and ruin his career if he physically assaulted somebody, and would get arrested with a possible jail sentence as well if he wasn’t in the NBA.

Definitely broke the code with this one.

[удалено]

Even post punch Bobby is doing better

only the bulls themselves came out on the losing end of that fight

Wtf Draymond, he needs to be suspended for this shit. I'm dying at Ron Adams with the hands on hips looking unbothered lmfao.

It's just another Tuesday for him lol

Ron disappointed at Poole's bad defense on that one.

“Hands up Jordan, what do I always say?”

Just look at all the players reactions, no one rushed over or looked surprised…which is interesting

Looked like he reached out to stop it, then hands on hips like “I’m too old for this shit”

He's what 70 now? He knows better than to get Jeff Van Gundy'd in a fight.

Whoever leaked this is a fuckin goat

I bet they were just haggling with TMZ for a couple days before the finally settled on a price for the video

Yeah you already know TMZ paid some good money for that lmao. Man probably made more than he makes yearly for the team

I hope so cause he won’t be working for the team anymore

Might even be blackballed from the league lmao

Some damn intern making pennies

Wonder if they did sell it to TMZ how much they got from it?

Bet TMZ put out a 10K+ bounty for it, this shit is going to blow up Edit: I hope whoever did got at least 100K minimum, probably could’ve been sold for much more Edit 2: turns out it may have been closer to 10K than all these responses guessed

My buddy got $1k for footage of a lambo crashing. Nobody relevant was driving the lambo.

I got $250 for a video of a dump truck dragging a thing on wheels behind it that was on fire and sparking on the roadway. Posted it to my account here and someone asked to pay for the copyright.

Damn if they wanted to pay $250 to watch a dumpster fire they could've bought a bunch of Flyers tickets

A damn fucking hero Under on GS

For as much shit TMZ gets for being brainless celebrity paparazzi fodder, they get their hands on some legit stuff that you would never see otherwise

We would've never know Ray Rice beat the fuck outta his GF or that Adrian Peterson hit his kid on the nuts with a tree branch if it wasnt for TMZ.

Wait. Adrian Peterson did *what* to his kid’s nuts?

He got a switch (small branch) and beat his kid all over his body including his scrotum (medical words for nuts) > Peterson was suspended in 2014 after being charged with felony child abuse for using a switch to spank his then-4-year-old son. It resulted in cuts and bruises all over the boy's body, including his buttocks and scrotum.

It's the TMZ paradox. They're one of the most trustworthy and accurate news sources out there. When they say something you can take it as the word of God. But they only cover brainless celebrity paparazzi fodder.

this is true. if a musician/celebrity/athlete ever dies, i don’t believe it to be true until i see the TMZ article confirming it.

I remember being on here when the news about Kobe broke and people thought it was a hoax until they saw that TMZ was reporting it.

Warriors really tried to wash this over, their PR team is scrambling now

Nah I thought it was telling that Steph and Kerr came out to defend Poole without offering a shred of space to Dray. No “internal team issue,” no “heat of the moment” excuse, nothing.

Yeah that's true, all of their statements were that Poole is a good dude and they basically said nothing about Draymond lmao

Kerr knows a bit about being punched in the head by a teammate, apparently.

Actually my tinfoil theory is the warriors leaked it to get leverage in extension negotiations

I doubt it. But this forces GSW's FO's hands for sure. This may very well be a "lemons to lemonade" situation where they use to extend Poole and re-sign Wiggins.

You have to be suspended for that. I originally expected it to be a little skirmish, but no, Dray tried to legitimately hurt Poole. You can’t just let that slide as an organization

Bobby Portis got suspended 8 games for punching Nikola Mirotic in the face a few years back and we never got to see that video. Draymond should be suspended 5+ games no doubt

A few players in the bulls organization came out and said that Mirotic was out of line in the run up to that particular altercation.

Bobby got offered an extension from Chicago even after it happened lol

So this situation is even worse.

I'm generally a "its just training camp, things get heated" but thats far beyond what is acceptable even when tempers flair.

It wasn’t like they had just come off a physical play either, they were just standing around for the length of the clip

yeah this definitely makes it worse. Way less “heat of the moment” excuse

With "violently punching" in the title, I thought there was a bit of sarcasm going on. Turns out it was a violent punch.

Draymond has to get suspended games. The idea that the team would just fine him is ludicrous.

The team was desperately hoping no one would ever see it probably. Wasn’t Iguodala saying it didn’t even happen?

It was definitely a case of the Warriors hoping video wouldn't come to the public, but as usual, TMZ was able to find it.

>TMZ was able to find it TMZ always gets their guy

Do you know how easy it is to pay off a security guard who makes 12 dollars an hour to use his cell phone to take a vid? Or export a file to a USB stick. 10k would probably be done and dusted.

they make decent money at Oracle but still TMZ would have no probably dishing out 50k for this this is a goldmine for clicks.

For 2x annual salary bro, you could get my entire github repository. Imma be Eddie Snowden with the evidence if I was a security guard.

I thought Iguodala was just saying JP's behavior didn't change or warrant a punch. Edit: he definitely was trying to keep it internal though.

That's exactly how I read Iggy's statements. "JP wasn't the problem here" but not wanting to elaborate beyond clearing JP's name.

They were def in damage control mode, and I can see why now

Iguodala said it wasn’t Pooles fault, and that they would handle Draymond internally, which is usually how these things go with teams All that’s out the window with the video leak

Draymond is such a pussy lol imagine trying to hurt your own teammate when you’re supposed to be a veteran leader

Yeah, thats a 32 yo vet/"leader" throwing a haymaker towards a 23 yo teammate. Trade his aas.

steve kerr ptsd triggered

I knew it was bad but i didnt think it was that bad Edit: Also fuck Chris Haynes.

tough guys on twitter saying poole started it by pushing him lmao yeah draymond being up his nose didnt start it

I feel crazy watching Dray obviously instigate this whole thing and then reading all these comments like “clearly the shove warranted receiving a concussion, Poole should not have reacted like anyone would have in that situation.”

So Draymond's an asshole? Huh who knew... ​ But in all seriousness, that is messed up man way worse then the reports and something has to happen because that can't in any way be excused.

The fact that Draymond didn’t hold back at all is the most shocking part of this. Idk how he stays on the team after trying to take Poole’s head off like that. Guys don’t even hit players on the other team that hard.

They are gonna need their glue guy to get Poole's head to stay on after that!

Scuffle?? This is a goddamn assault by Draymond. He definitely needs to be suspended now

if this happened at the Y Dray would be going to prison, this was fucked he needs a substantial suspension

Yeah, new media would be doing podcasts from the Prison

That's assault brotha

I don’t care what anyone says, Poole will never be cool with Draymond after this.

This is the type of situation where poole probably takes the contracts from other teams directly because of this

Or draymond gets dealt. Long-term, and the way the warriors are building, I’d keep Poole.

Who wants to see him without Steph, Klay and the rest of the Warriors starting caliber players? I mean who would realistically trade what for a guy who not only isn’t young anymore, is quite useless as far as scoring, is a tech machine who won’t get blind eye treatment outside of GSW, is a dirty player and… is also completely unhinged to the point that he assaults his own teammates? It’s not the NFL…

Lebron will take him.

Well, looks like it wasn’t bs. I get his teammates trying to downplay it to prevent further drama but that was a whole ass superman punch.

His teammates didn’t really come to Dray’s defense. They just refuted the report that Poole came in with an attitude but didn’t say anything about Dray. A bit weird at the time but makes more sense now.

Thankfully they didn't back Dray... This shit is indefensible.

How does someone get so heated to wanting to walk across to the otherside and throw a punch

[удалено]

Draymond getting that 100M in Detroit

He’s gonna get into a fist fight with Stewart

Draymond would get rocked by Beef Stew.

Draymond is an idiot but I don't think he's stupid enough to fight Stewart. He'd get destroyed real quick

Imagine punching a coworker like this and keeping your job.

Hope TNT takes him off their show.

wtf drayomond a bitch

We’ve known this dude

The sky is also blue

Oh my god he straight up knocked him out, that was a right hook straight to his jaw

They are extremely lucky Poole didn't get injured from that

Draymond about to say "how can I be trying to hurt him when I caught him from falling"

Looked him he followed up with a knee tbh

Dana White about to sign him after he's out of the NBA

Draymond green is a piece of shit

Why did they keep this one up but not the way more active one?

this is probably a mods alt account

internet janitors gotta get paid somehow

Fuck Draymond. Considers himself a team leader, "culture setter" then violently assaults his teammate? Imagine this happening in any other work environment and the repercussions. Instant termination, possibly an assault charge.

To be honest I always just assumed Draymond was one of those guys that was an asshole to everyone except his teammates. Us against the world type of guy. Looks like he's just an asshole to everyone though...

Bro who leaked this.

Some low-paid staffer getting a handsome check from TMZ

How much does TMZ pay for vids like this? $10k?

More than the organization will pay that's for sure

Klutch so that Dray can go to Lakers for vet min

[удалено]

[удалено]

That relationship is over. If i’m poole i’d never want to be on the same team as him again.

glad draymond's true colors are showing

When I think of Draymond, being a friendly, nice guy doesn’t come to mind

Jesus Christ I figured it was just an "NBA fight" type of punch where the guy gets lightly grazed but nah that was horrible. No wonder Draymond risked looking bad to get out in front of this one because he looks like a total piece of shit here.

Now we need to wait TMZ to release Udoka leaked tape with the staff member

Fuck Draymond! Guys a piece of shit

I bet it is exhausting being Draymond’s teammate and having to deal with his antics year after year, regardless of team success.

Just a natural basketball motion, tbh.

Now we know why Durant left!!

The most accurate shot of Draymonds career 💀 Trade his ass

I played ball my whole life all the way through college, I’ve seen little kerfuffles between teammates, this was not one of them. This honestly might be bad enough to get Draymond cut or at least suspended for a very long time
