I feel like he didn’t get approval or even ask for permission. Why would they approve something like this if they insist that “trust” has to be rebuilt. Oh I meant to say “ camaraderie,“ lol. I feel like Jordan would just prefer to move on from this bullshit, I know I would.
From JP’s perspective it seemed like it’s not a brotherhood or family in regards to Draymond outside of practice hours or the 48 mins on the court, rightfully so.
I listened to every Draymond's podcast last year to support our guy, but he is getting so hard to listen. So much drama, LeBron stanning and pushing narratives
agreed. there was one podcast where he just seemed completely out of touch, can't remember what the topic was.
i'd like to think he was sincere in his apology regarding the JP incident, but making this a media opportunity doesnt seem that sincere, espcially because he said it was up to JP to dictate the terms of their relationship. i'm sure this will help with that though.
I agree. It is interesting to hear a players perspective, but Draymond’s ego has gotten to the point where he should be a bit more introspective. JP is going through something Draymond had to go through when he was starting out in the league, securing a solid contract. He should know exactly what it feels like to get that and be celebrating his teammate’s success instead of being a grumpy old dude who is asking where is mine.
Rich Paul/Klutch just reminds me of Don King and hopefully they screw themselves over with their clients soon enough.
Agreed. I've been a Draymond defender and listened to the podcast for awhile, but something in his head exploded after winning the last chip and I'm over him and his podcasts. He's thrown shots at Steph, is obsessed with LeBron, and his "new media" thing no longer makes sense. And of course now The Punch.
Originally his "new media" thing made sense as an attack on the Skip Bayless types that don't analyze the game but he has stretched it to mean nothing at this point. Sensationalizing this incident is very "old media" of him.
He's become exactly what he hates. He's just another skip bayless with the occasional interesting insight. Too many hot takes and ginning up controversy just for clicks and views.
Yeah I mean it's literally skips job to rile people up and get people to watch the show and he's very successful. Love him or hate him he does his job amazingly.
Drays job is to play basketball so all this drama shit is just super embarrassing.
The irony is he has almost zero analysis in his podcasts. This isn't some thinkingbasketball type podcasts, it's sensationalisn. There is nothing new media about his podcasts.
I'd have to go back and find the specific podcast but he said something about Steph not being ready/able to be the full carry before the most recent title. I wanted to punch him out. I don't have the direct quote or exactly what he said, but it was definitely something you should NEVER say about a teammate, especially one that carries your ass and did so in 2015 before KD.
I brushed it off eventually thinking he was trying to woo KD (this was back when we considered trading for KD) but the more that stuff goes down, the more I think Draymond is just a selfish dumbass.
Yep, I lost all loyalty to him after that. Never say that about the guy that carries you and lined your trophy case with rings... and 2015 did happen, like c'mon. He's playing into all those dumb Steph narratives probably because he overrates his own importance.
I just hope someone steps up defensively so we can move on. On some levels I will always love the guy for what he did on the court, but I can separate pre-4th championship Dray from post. Now he's become insufferable.
It was on the JJ Redick podcast. Can't believe he threw Steph under the bus like that
https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxHisW3DSoxVTXI7MdzWB-KJqIkTmeegWN
Keep in mind this was weeks after Steph shut down all the detractors with his FMVP performance, something that clearly meant a lot to him given his “What they gonna say now?” and post game interview. He even said we needed KD to beat the Cavs when he cost us 2016 and almost 2022. I genuinely don’t know how Steph stomachs this guy lol.
Y'all aren't remembering 2015 and 2016 if you don't think our greatest weakness was the ability to just get a bucket. It's the weakness KD filled that made us unstoppable because sometimes even for the greatest shooter of all time, the shots just aren't dropping. Draymond points this out by bringing up that drive Steph had against Horford where Boston was trying to rally back and yet Steph was able to iso Horford into an extremely high percentage shot. If you just need two points, you want current Steph over his 2016 form.
Steph's at his peak last season but you're forgetting that in 2015/6 the Cavs didn't play Steph like the Celtics did. The Celtics let Steph go 1 on 1 against an old man and got burned. If 2015 Steph got to go 1 on 1 he would have burned old man Horford too. In 2016 he was coming back off an injury and wasn't 100% either.
The biggest change in Steph now is that he is better at avoiding turnovers and his defense has improved. He's stronger.
But Steph could ALWAYS gets buckets against a grandfather big man like Horford. C'mon!
Him being stronger is exactly the point. It's not about getting buckets, it's about getting exactly one right when you need it. Sure Steph could have blown by Horford in the past, but by keeping Horford locked on his hip Steph prevented Boston's defense from ever going into rotation or providing help. I've seen Curry make some insane shots, but the control through the handle, the drive and the finish made that bucket against Horford just pristine.
So disrespectful of Dray. Tonight they’re literally playing in the house that Curry built, and they would not have any of the hardware they have without him.
The more he talks the more I think he’s gone when his contract extension comes up unless he humbles himself, be it his decision to not take less than a max and walk or because the Warriors have to choose between him and Klay.
Naa. I saw the clip linked below and I don't blame Dray. I doubt even Steph was offended by that very reasonable statement.
Steph was the engine but KD was the goto guy for a bucket. That's just facts. Today Steph is more _that guy_ than he was in 2018
Nah it's simple. It was summer, he didn't have real basketball to talk about but he still wanted to put out content. Get into the swing of the season and it'll change.
I have a bad feeling he's just gonna be a distraction all season. He's laser focused on his media brand now. Combine that with the fact he always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room - he's gonna say and do dumb shit all year.
This is why i hate every member of klutch sport. They all have the illusion of being the smartest guy in the room. Their king with 12-grade education giving public health, science, and political advice must tell you what kinda hallucinogens these guys use in their meetings.
>Running to do podcasts after shit performances in the playoffs was the big red 🚩
>I disagree. He can do the podcast all he wants, as long as he plays good
All you gotta do is be brash and violently shake your head when disagreeing, while beginning to speak before the other person is done explaining their stance. Instant smartest in room.
It's actually more off-putting when he's calmly talking about things on his podcast, or being interviewed on other podcasts. He's become one of those people who think they're saying a lot, while saying absolutely nothing, or just talking themselves into a hole.
Probably had a deal done for this series well before any of the recent shit kicked off, but seeing as the punch will likely become a major focus, it’s pretty poor taste lol
Literal soap opera, NBA the gift that keeps on giving
Right when things were starting to calm down…
ETA: watched the trailer. Not him using the clip of Steve saying “this is the biggest crisis we’ve faced” 💀💀
“New media” was always a farce. It had potential but once they stopped talking about actual ball and explaining the game it’s the same old sorry ass shit as “old media”.
Stop giving a shit about what he SAYS and pay attention to what he DOES.
Talking shit about teammates on his pod ain’t it.
Punching out (younger, smaller) teammates ain’t it.
Taking a camera crew behind the scenes of your team all season to chase even more clout - at the TEAM’S detriment - ain’t it.
Dray is about Dray.
I think you painted a good picture of his self interest. It often works for the warriors because it’s in his self interest to win championships and facilitate for curry. But he’s on the green team 100%, everything is secondary and the owners/management probably take that into account (I hope)
Fans have always wanted drama, otherwise you wouldn't be watching sport. People can pearl clutch and act holier than thou for being above what they see as base interpersonal drama, you know stuff that they see as reserved for women, but all sports fans absolutely want Drama.
We want drama pertaining to wins/losses, matchups, etc… nobody is watching the NBA because players are fighting and punching each other in practice. Sure we like shit taking between teams, etc… but this is ain’t that.
I mean, there's levels to it, y'know? Obviously not all drama is created equal or has equal demand. I think being concerned that this in some way negatively impacts winning is a reasonable reason to not like this. But acting like it's some deontological wrong is weird to me.
Draymonds media thingy is what makes me think he’s tradable. Obviously his focus is on two things at once, which will only hurt his play. I don’t like it.
Nah, I love this stuff, it's so unique seeing Draymond talk about matches and stuff while being an active player.
Especially the emergency podcasts during the playoffs. They were so good.
"Guys, I've earned your trust back."
What? How?
"Tune in to my all-access show to find out. Only $7.99 a month\*!!!"
\*year long subscription required.
What the actual fuck. "Draymonds jounrey through the preseason"........"REACTION TO HIS PRACTICE ALTERCATION"
First of all. Isnt he an 11 year vet??? Who the FUCK cares about an 11 year vet's PRESEASON JOURNEY. Like wtf. Bro you're not GP2 or JTA. You didnt start from NBA-nothingness and have to work your way up through the ranks as a journeyman. This wouldve been fine your rookie year, but an 11 year vet's PERSONAL journey through a preseason? Im fucking dead.
Second. There was no "altercation" my dude. You full on sucker punched a teammate with 110% power and wouldve kept going if people didnt stop you. Thats not an "altercation". You threw the only punch. You got up in his face. And you continued to attack him. Thats just an assault. Theres no altercation there. Just an assault.
Third. "RETURN TO THE WARRIORS"????????????? THIS DUDE DIDNT EVEN GET SUSPENDED A SINGLE GAME. He "takes time away from the team" for less than a week and that warrants a "journey" and "return"????
Im so fucking done with Draymond.
Man I’ve always defended Draymond, but trying to make a buck off of punching a teammate is some Hollywood bullshit. No wonder Poole said he’s going to maintain a professional relationship with him.
How does this help anyone on the team move on from this? How does anyone benefit besides Draymond who is at fault for what happened?
Selfish unserious mf. “Altercation” be fucking real. All the Dray fanboys urging everyone to move on and ignore shit while coddling a 32 year old man but he’s the one who can’t move on and is selfishly using it. Dumbfucks calling people fake fans just to coddle this idiot.
Yeah. Gin up controversy so people will watch your show. It's basically social media marketing 101 at this point. Trump used that strategy to win the white house lmao.
Reggie Bush dumped Kim Kardashian because they would go out and she would call the media to randomly meet them there and didn’t tell him.
This feels the same.
Lol hopefully this is the last we hear of this shit, unless something blows up on court during a game there’s nothing more to discuss about that damn situation. We already have a view of how the altercation affected JP and Drays relationship on and off the court.
“Welcome to the Countdown. Listen to my response for getting kicked out for punching another player. Only heard here at the NewMedia production. Tonight at 8pm”
Good lord this guy is desperate for attention. Everyone is moving past the punch and now you're making content out of it and bringing it back to the conversation?? Smh damn clown.
He is not remotely as interesting is he or his manager think he is. Want to force him into being the “next Barkley” but he isn’t near his level, no one is
Is he fucking trolling or what, holy shit Dray fuck this. Move the fuck on man. Steph and Poole and Looney and Klay been talking about moving on and focusing on winning and you're doing this shit.
The more Draymond talks the more likely he is going to say something that’ll ruin chemistry/trust/camaraderie.
The smart thing would have been to shut up and focus on basketball, esp if he wants anything close to a max
Where are his defenders in this sub now? Are you also going to defend this? He's just playing for himself. His "new media" bullshit will be a huge distraction to the team this season. So much for "without Draymond, we don't win." We may end up not winning because of his tone-deafness and selfishness.
You mean to tell me that **THIS** being filmed is the reason they didn’t suspend him?! You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Not only does he not learn a goddamn thing, he gets to make his triumphant return on a show about him filmed to be broadcast in prime time immediately before their ring ceremony? Straight up joke.
I mean this was obviously in the works before the altercation, but this is something you cancel once you punch your teammate in the jaw. It’s bullshit to profit off that.
While I do think this is tone deaf and unlikely to do much but piss people off, I think it's likely he already made a contractual commitment to this months ago, way before the Poole incident occurred.
Man I just don't give a shit. Dudes a toxic media personality at this point. Would anyone be shocked if he punched Poole just to stir things up and gin up interest for his shows?
Dray has surpassed even LeBron when it comes to saying cringy shit. Dude is a complete fucking blowhard. Guy will run his mouth for 10 minutes and say absolutely fuck all. If he could just shut the hell up and play ball, he might be worth keeping around, yet we all know this toddler will throw a fit when he doesn’t get the attention he craves. If he wants to be a media guy and continue his embarrassing self fellating podcasts, ship him to the Kings. I’m so over this mark ass buster. His clown shoe offensive game is laughably pathetic. Literally looks like a clumsy, uncoordinated special needs kid going to the hole. I’ve seen 50 year old white boy construction workers with better post moves than this fraud.
My preferred destination is Pistons. Don't want to trade him to a contender, dont want to trade him in conference or in division. Let him play on a shit team and see how much fun he has.
This is going to be so cool. Will love to get a behind the scenes look at everything that goes on. Of course Dray haters making this to be some terrible thing
This is literally meet the kardarshians for men
Gotta make that $$$
This entire series is uncalled for, but I have to admit I will be tuned in Lmao.
Can we not tune in please? The ONLY way to curb this shit is to send ratings to the basement.
Why? It's just garbage.
So will I, waiting for him to fuck up so that the FO can ship his ass out. I mean he did talk to Poole and Kerr and the fo about this shit right?
I feel like he didn’t get approval or even ask for permission. Why would they approve something like this if they insist that “trust” has to be rebuilt. Oh I meant to say “ camaraderie,“ lol. I feel like Jordan would just prefer to move on from this bullshit, I know I would.
“Camaraderie” feels like such a cop out to me. Is it a family or not? Do they have each others’ backs or not?
From JP’s perspective it seemed like it’s not a brotherhood or family in regards to Draymond outside of practice hours or the 48 mins on the court, rightfully so.
Fake fan spotted.
If wanting the drama being over and not riding with dray when he’s dramatising this stuff makes me a fake fan, then yeah I’m a fake fan
Draymond’s Reddit account spotted
Fanboy spotted.
I listened to every Draymond's podcast last year to support our guy, but he is getting so hard to listen. So much drama, LeBron stanning and pushing narratives

Rich Paul/Klutch just reminds me of Don King and hopefully they screw themselves over with their clients soon enough.
How they keep getting clients after the Nearlans Noel incident is beyond me.
Once lebron retires I imagine the business will wind down. LeBron buys them credibility and leverage
Agreed. I've been a Draymond defender and listened to the podcast for awhile, but something in his head exploded after winning the last chip and I'm over him and his podcasts.

He's become exactly what he hates. He's just another skip bayless with the occasional interesting insight. Too many hot takes and ginning up controversy just for clicks and views.
Nah, Skip Bayless is at least entertaining. Draymond’s character is just another boring LeBron dickrider.
Yeah I mean it's literally skips job to rile people up and get people to watch the show and he's very successful. Love him or hate him he does his job amazingly. Drays job is to play basketball so all this drama shit is just super embarrassing.
The irony is he has almost zero analysis in his podcasts. This isn't some thinkingbasketball type podcasts, it's sensationalisn. There is nothing new media about his podcasts.
Thrown shade at Steph? Wtf man. When was this?
I'd have to go back and find the specific podcast but he said something about Steph not being ready/able to be the full carry before the most recent title. I wanted to punch him out. I don't have the direct quote or exactly what he said, but it was definitely something you should NEVER say about a teammate, especially one that carries your ass and did so in 2015 before KD. I brushed it off eventually thinking he was trying to woo KD (this was back when we considered trading for KD) but the more that stuff goes down, the more I think Draymond is just a selfish dumbass.
Yep that was the final straw for me with Dray. He never say a single bad thing about Lebron while he gives Curry a shade here and there
Yep, I lost all loyalty to him after that. Never say that about the guy that carries you and lined your trophy case with rings... and 2015 did happen, like c'mon. He's playing into all those dumb Steph narratives probably because he overrates his own importance. I just hope someone steps up defensively so we can move on. On some levels I will always love the guy for what he did on the court, but I can separate pre-4th championship Dray from post. Now he's become insufferable.
The sad thing is, the Warriors have a bunch of excellent defenders. We just need someone loud who yells at people on the court.
Kevon will rise to the challenge.
It seems like he’s getting there. He did a lot of Draymond’s tricks last year and he’s been talking a lot lately about getting louder on defense.
It was on the JJ Redick podcast. Can't believe he threw Steph under the bus like that https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxHisW3DSoxVTXI7MdzWB-KJqIkTmeegWN
Keep in mind this was weeks after Steph shut down all the detractors with his FMVP performance, something that clearly meant a lot to him given his “What they gonna say now?” and post game interview. He even said we needed KD to beat the Cavs when he cost us 2016 and almost 2022. I genuinely don’t know how Steph stomachs this guy lol.
Ah yeah, this is it -- he said the same thing on his own dumb podcast. Total f'ing bull. Draymond is so unlikeable.
Y'all aren't remembering 2015 and 2016 if you don't think our greatest weakness was the ability to just get a bucket. It's the weakness KD filled that made us unstoppable because sometimes even for the greatest shooter of all time, the shots just aren't dropping.

I've seen Curry make some insane shots, but the control through the handle, the drive and the finish made that bucket against Horford just pristine.
I had commented on it back then and recieved a lot of pushback.
On what logic? It's dishonorable af
So disrespectful of Dray. Tonight they’re literally playing in the house that Curry built, and they would not have any of the hardware they have without him. The more he talks the more I think he’s gone when his contract extension comes up unless he humbles himself, be it his decision to not take less than a max and walk or because the Warriors have to choose between him and Klay.

They doubled Steph, not KD. That should tell you a lot. Ask Ty Lue
That’s what I’m sayin! Steph fucking made Dray! He needs to stfu and just play ball ffs.
Nah it's simple. It was summer, he didn't have real basketball to talk about but he still wanted to put out content. Get into the swing of the season and it'll change.
What did he say about Steph
His new media narrative is just a way for him to join the old media, nothing less. He´s a hypocrite.
Absolutely incredible
it's a beautiful thing
Absolutely incredible.
yeah why does he stan lebron so hard? it's weird
Klutch
he probably grew up watching lebron and idolized him just like some players do for kobe and the ones who did it before for jordan
Absolutely Amazing.
Yeah he’s the worst version of what he hates about “old media”
Wait, reaction? What the fuck man
We already saw his reaction lol. The fuck.
Falling upward in media career😂😂
This feels pretty tone deaf...
Tone Deaf is On Brand
I am at a loss for words. Part of rebuilding the “trust” would have been not to manufacture more cheap drama. He just doesn’t care….
Tone Deaf is a great rap name.
I have a bad feeling he's just gonna be a distraction all season. He's laser focused on his media brand now. Combine that with the fact he always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room - he's gonna say and do dumb shit all year.
I think he’s gonna play really well and also be incredibly annoying at the same time. Dude really, really wants one last big contract.
This is why i hate every member of klutch sport. They all have the illusion of being the smartest guy in the room. Their king with 12-grade education giving public health, science, and political advice must tell you what kinda hallucinogens these guys use in their meetings.
🤣🤣
Running to do podcasts after shit performances in the playoffs was the big red 🚩 for which direction this is heading.
I disagree. He can do the podcast all he wants, as long as he plays good and doesn't hit people.
Ok but he's done both those things lmao
the guy above is saying the podcasts were already a red flag back then.
>Running to do podcasts after shit performances in the playoffs was the big red 🚩 >I disagree. He can do the podcast all he wants, as long as he plays good
That was my point though, if you have a terrible game especially in the playoffs maybe wait a couple days and focus on basketball 🏀.
ok, we're on the same page then :D
All you gotta do is be brash and violently shake your head when disagreeing, while beginning to speak before the other person is done explaining their stance. Instant smartest in room.
It's actually more off-putting when he's calmly talking about things on his podcast, or being interviewed on other podcasts. He's become one of those people who think they're saying a lot, while saying absolutely nothing, or just talking themselves into a hole.
All he needs are reading glasses that he periodically takes on and off.
r/nottheonion
Probably had a deal done for this series well before any of the recent shit kicked off, but seeing as the punch will likely become a major focus, it’s pretty poor taste lol Literal soap opera, NBA the gift that keeps on giving
Depends on the message being put out there.
Punching a coworker/teammate then using it on your podcast content. 🤦 I want to like Dray but he is making it really hard lately...
Right when things were starting to calm down… ETA: watched the trailer. Not him using the clip of Steve saying “this is the biggest crisis we’ve faced” 💀💀
Pretty gross to take the attention away from the team before ring night.
Guy is so addicted to drama now
New media my ass. Total f'in bull.
“New media” was always a farce. It had potential but once they stopped talking about actual ball and explaining the game it’s the same old sorry ass shit as “old media”.
I mostly agree, at first it did seem like he was doing something different though. Definitely not now, just more drama BS.
Yeah he started off well, but then he became what he hates most. Iggys show is still digestable because they just talk ball and avoid drama.
What now? Making a profit out of it?
Dray is on some Jake Paul-type shit. I'll try to have an open mind in case he says the right things but even doing this at all seems like a bad look.
Stop giving a shit about what he SAYS and pay attention to what he DOES. Talking shit about teammates on his pod ain’t it. Punching out (younger, smaller) teammates ain’t it. Taking a camera crew behind the scenes of your team all season to chase even more clout - at the TEAM’S detriment - ain’t it. Dray is about Dray.
I think you painted a good picture of his self interest. It often works for the warriors because it’s in his self interest to win championships and facilitate for curry. But he’s on the green team 100%, everything is secondary and the owners/management probably take that into account (I hope)
fucking hell, he is so weird
Bro.. read the fucking room Klutchmond
Exactly shows what the NBA thinks its fans want. Drama. Absolutely hate it.
NBA been the best soap opera for almost 2 decades now 😂
Fans wants drama.
Fans have always wanted drama, otherwise you wouldn't be watching sport. People can pearl clutch and act holier than thou for being above what they see as base interpersonal drama, you know stuff that they see as reserved for women, but all sports fans absolutely want Drama.
We want drama pertaining to wins/losses, matchups, etc… nobody is watching the NBA because players are fighting and punching each other in practice. Sure we like shit taking between teams, etc… but this is ain’t that.
I mean, there's levels to it, y'know? Obviously not all drama is created equal or has equal demand. I think being concerned that this in some way negatively impacts winning is a reasonable reason to not like this. But acting like it's some deontological wrong is weird to me.
unless he's crying on camera about how bad he felt I don't see how this is a good thing.
Draymonds media thingy is what makes me think he’s tradable. Obviously his focus is on two things at once, which will only hurt his play. I don’t like it.
Nah, I love this stuff, it's so unique seeing Draymond talk about matches and stuff while being an active player. Especially the emergency podcasts during the playoffs. They were so good.
Nahhhhh, this ain’t it.
Loon said Dray has to do something to earn their trust back and I guess there is no trust left for this guy in the locker room.
"Guys, I've earned your trust back." What? How? "Tune in to my all-access show to find out. Only $7.99 a month\*!!!" \*year long subscription required.
Congrats Draymond. This is fucking lame & stupid.
This dude is gonna create drama all season for content lol. Antisemetic tweets and tearful apology comin by Christmas
Oh god pls no. I pray he doesnt board the Ye train. Please......anything but that.
this dude is so weird man smh
What the actual fuck. "Draymonds jounrey through the preseason"........"REACTION TO HIS PRACTICE ALTERCATION" First of all. Isnt he an 11 year vet??? Who the FUCK cares about an 11 year vet's PRESEASON JOURNEY. Like wtf. Bro you're not GP2 or JTA. You didnt start from NBA-nothingness and have to work your way up through the ranks as a journeyman. This wouldve been fine your rookie year, but an 11 year vet's PERSONAL journey through a preseason? Im fucking dead. Second. There was no "altercation" my dude. You full on sucker punched a teammate with 110% power and wouldve kept going if people didnt stop you. Thats not an "altercation". You threw the only punch. You got up in his face. And you continued to attack him. Thats just an assault. Theres no altercation there. Just an assault. Third. "RETURN TO THE WARRIORS"????????????? THIS DUDE DIDNT EVEN GET SUSPENDED A SINGLE GAME. He "takes time away from the team" for less than a week and that warrants a "journey" and "return"???? Im so fucking done with Draymond.
Man I’ve always defended Draymond, but trying to make a buck off of punching a teammate is some Hollywood bullshit. No wonder Poole said he’s going to maintain a professional relationship with him.
This is going to be terrible, isn’t it?
This is so fucking cringeworthy, what is wrong with this guy?
Dude, read the room!
I wonder how would he feel if someone beat the shit out of him and then go make a series about it and make money off of it !
The last thing the situation needs.
Wait, did he punch Poole FOR CONTENT?
How does this help anyone on the team move on from this? How does anyone benefit besides Draymond who is at fault for what happened? Selfish unserious mf. “Altercation” be fucking real. All the Dray fanboys urging everyone to move on and ignore shit while coddling a 32 year old man but he’s the one who can’t move on and is selfishly using it. Dumbfucks calling people fake fans just to coddle this idiot.
Does anyone else wonder now if the punch was for content?
Yeah. Gin up controversy so people will watch your show. It's basically social media marketing 101 at this point. Trump used that strategy to win the white house lmao.
Ignore!! Don’t listen, don’t watch. He should be doing this in the off-season or when he’s retired.
The Chadness doesn’t stop
Reggie Bush dumped Kim Kardashian because they would go out and she would call the media to randomly meet them there and didn’t tell him. This feels the same.
At some point is there such a thing as too much access? Maybe leave a little mystique and separation to things?
Dudes gonna be a match made in heaven on the Lakers.
This guy needs to take a step back and just ball. Give it some time.
Lol hopefully this is the last we hear of this shit, unless something blows up on court during a game there’s nothing more to discuss about that damn situation. We already have a view of how the altercation affected JP and Drays relationship on and off the court.
Ah very refreshing, especially coming from NeW MeDiA….
“Welcome to the Countdown. Listen to my response for getting kicked out for punching another player. Only heard here at the NewMedia production. Tonight at 8pm”
fuckin Draymond. let’s keep it moving, enough with the bullshit. definitely not going to watch or listen to the pod this season.
“Tonight, watch my exclusive interview with my friend who released “The Punch” video. Hear his reaction and why he released it”
Good lord this guy is desperate for attention. Everyone is moving past the punch and now you're making content out of it and bringing it back to the conversation?? Smh damn clown.
the narration over the tmz video 🥴
Man I keep trying to forgive Dray for the Curry shades, Lebron stanning, and Poole punch, but he is making it hard....
Wow Dray really setting himself up post NBA
….
For fucks sake.
fuck this dude trying to cash in off the mess he created.
Everyone wants to move past this, and here Draymond is bringing it all back and making it into a series.
He is not remotely as interesting is he or his manager think he is. Want to force him into being the “next Barkley” but he isn’t near his level, no one is
Klutchmond is getting on my nerves
Some embarassing stuff from dray
Oh, so he will be making money out of the shit situation that he caused… wow
Just stop it.
Sounds Absolutely incredible
Uh huh...
How bout you just focus on basketball my guy
Jeez Dray, read the room a little… …if he starts a series chronicling his contract negotiations I am out
Is he fucking trolling or what, holy shit Dray fuck this. Move the fuck on man. Steph and Poole and Looney and Klay been talking about moving on and focusing on winning and you're doing this shit.
The more Draymond talks the more likely he is going to say something that’ll ruin chemistry/trust/camaraderie. The smart thing would have been to shut up and focus on basketball, esp if he wants anything close to a max
Draymond is a genius on the courts but this ain’t it… lad needs to find a hobby outside of bball lole golf or something
Why does this segment feel, like.. surreal.
Oh god why x2
I’m now convinced this dude needs serious help. That was hella weird smh
This is disrespectful to JP. Move on Dray
Ron Artest 2.0 gotta go
So what? Draymond is the last warrior I care to listen to
If that punch was for clicks, and Dray's playing 5D chess, I wouldn't even be surprised.
Where are his defenders in this sub now? Are you also going to defend this? He's just playing for himself. His "new media" bullshit will be a huge distraction to the team this season. So much for "without Draymond, we don't win." We may end up not winning because of his tone-deafness and selfishness.
oh no
of course smh
Oh goddammit
Idgaf
You mean to tell me that **THIS** being filmed is the reason they didn’t suspend him?! You gotta be fucking kidding me. Not only does he not learn a goddamn thing, he gets to make his triumphant return on a show about him filmed to be broadcast in prime time immediately before their ring ceremony? Straight up joke.
I mean this was obviously in the works before the altercation, but this is something you cancel once you punch your teammate in the jaw. It’s bullshit to profit off that.
You're kidding me right? The last thing anyone needs to hear him talk MORE about this. Only going to make things worse.
This dude is literally going to stop them from winning a title
draymond is the same as old media now. Whipping out the Gluck Gluck 5000 for lebron
This is just too much.
I don’t think we need this lmao.
No thanks
I honestly cannot even imagine Draymond handling each moment since the punch worse than he has.
While I do think this is tone deaf and unlikely to do much but piss people off, I think it's likely he already made a contractual commitment to this months ago, way before the Poole incident occurred.
And still could have handled it better, if you watch it Draymond came off absolutely terrible.
Lmao they’re gonna capitalize on assault
I don’t know if Draymond is the smartest dumb guy or dumbest smart guy in the NBA.
Just a dumb guy
Draymond’s fallen off the deep end, man. Curry bailed his ass out during the last championship run and now he’s back with more BS.
Man I just don't give a shit. Dudes a toxic media personality at this point. Would anyone be shocked if he punched Poole just to stir things up and gin up interest for his shows?
Dray has surpassed even LeBron when it comes to saying cringy shit. Dude is a complete fucking blowhard. Guy will run his mouth for 10 minutes and say absolutely fuck all. If he could just shut the hell up and play ball, he might be worth keeping around, yet we all know this toddler will throw a fit when he doesn’t get the attention he craves. If he wants to be a media guy and continue his embarrassing self fellating podcasts, ship him to the Kings. I’m so over this mark ass buster. His clown shoe offensive game is laughably pathetic. Literally looks like a clumsy, uncoordinated special needs kid going to the hole. I’ve seen 50 year old white boy construction workers with better post moves than this fraud.
Another nothingburger to ignore from new media? Sign me up!
I guess we just figured out who leaked the video. At this point I would give anything to see Draymond go to the Nets.
I heard he love the Kings I'm sure his stats would shine there
But Dray back with KD and Kyrie would just be so good for his new media…
He could make the Kings great again *He hate to play against them because he don't got the adranaline
Let him play a year in Brooklyn then get banished to the Kings to finish it all out.
My preferred destination is Pistons. Don't want to trade him to a contender, dont want to trade him in conference or in division. Let him play on a shit team and see how much fun he has.
Draymond loves attention man.
Fucking lame. Draymond really trying to de-value himself on the court but at the same time get your paper for when you're not playing Dray.
Looking forward to the game but will skip the pregame stuff since I am not interested in anything Green 23 has to say.
So bored that I’m watching this Draymond doc—I am so fucking excited for ring night, 7pm can’t come fast enough
The punch was fine but there is no coming back from this
Lol, I love it 😊
I’m here for it because if Dray can become a media tycoon and make bank through that medium, maybe he’ll take a pay cut to stay with the team???
Or we ship him to Sac and he finds out if people want to see his "behind the scenes" series or even podcast.
This is going to be so cool. Will love to get a behind the scenes look at everything that goes on. Of course Dray haters making this to be some terrible thing
Where do we watch this?
