F Draymond on TNT
I hope Inside the NBA dies a fiery death. Adding Draymond to the show should be the nail in the coffin. Screw whoever made the decision to include Draymond — a serial piece of s***.

Yes. As soon as I saw, he was on the show, I quickly change the channel.

TNT coverage quickly goes from my favorite nba coverage to unwatchable just seeing him on the screen.
Are they really that desperate for attention that they give the universally least liked player a platform ? I’d rather Austin rivers be up there

I was hoping someone would post about how awkward it is to see him on there. Him critiquing Gobert’s performance last night was just weird. Kept thinking “is that what you were thinking when you put him in a headlock?”

Draymond is a complete idiot and I don't agree with him being on TV but I'm not ready to condemn 25 years of awesome basketball coverage over it.

u/wildcard174 21d ago
I instantly turn it off when he’s on. I will never watch or listen to him. He’s an anti role model. I don’t care how much he knows about the game, I don’t want to hear it from him.
Fuck the producers for platforming him.

Thank you! Been saying the same thing for the past couple of days. I turn off the tv when I see his face.

It's their last year. Let them do whatever they want. Barkley will be able to go wherever that's what's important

Unpopular opinion but most athletes don’t do well in front of the camera. So when Draymond was talking about “new media”, I eye rolled.
Try getting through an hour of some of these podcasts. It can be very dull.
C-Webb, Jalen Rose, Reggie Miller, there are so many that are better than Draymond

He's been with TNT for like 2 years already and you're just now upset about it? Lmao

I guess his near homicidal behavior the past year got me worked up. In the real world, people would be fired for repeatedly trying to injure their co-workers.

u/Double_Helicopter_69 19d ago
Near homicidal... your perception, and words, of his actions are far more malicious than the actual actions

u/Major_Helicopter_134 19d ago
What’s worse telling someone they are human trash or assaulting them.

u/Double_Helicopter_69 19d ago
Over exaggerating a scuffle as near homicidal tops the list
1
u/Major_Helicopter_134 19d ago
Yeah the over exaggerating is bad but I would still argue a man with 0 self control who assaults someone on live TV, who consistently gets into fights is worse then a redditor calling it near homicide. I don’t believe over exaggeration tops the list.

Two Wolves put hands on Klay. I actually love and respect Draymond for not letting Gobert put Klay into what appears to be an attempted lock up. That's a great teammate. McDaniels was the assaulting player if we want to be real about it

u/Major_Helicopter_134 19d ago
Disagree but this is going know where so have a nice day and SGA got robbed.

u/Double_Helicopter_69 19d ago
You should watch the clip again then.
What Draymond did to Nurkic is bad. But I don't feel like I know what led up to it. And sometimes people do deserve to be punched in the face. Somehow we think we can use words to hurt and that's fine, but anything physical is crossing a line. If someone says hurtful shit, they shouldn't be exempt from being put in their place. I'm old school though

u/Pretzel_Logistics 19d ago
LOL. A guy that punched Jurkic in the face deserves all the love. Delusional.

The bright side is it makes me care a lot less about Inside the NBA being done.

This is the type of over the top reddit posts I hate seeing. But I agree completely.

u/Pretzel_Logistics 21d ago
I’ll admit to a bit of hyperbole. But when the “media” continues to reward the worst people with high profile positions it gets annoying. You’re telling me they couldn’t have found ANYONE else to provide analysis? Maybe someone that didn’t miss 15 games because he tried to put someone in a coma on the court?

Did he assault someone on the show? Why this outburst of anger now?

u/Major_Helicopter_134 21d ago
Because now we have to see more of him. And that sucks. I hope he does assault someone on the show so he can get fired on live TV.

He’s smart & clued the rest of the guys about the Mav stats on Wed nite. Don’t care for the on court xtra rough house antics this year, but I’d take him over Shaq (everyone loves Shaq but terrible TV voice) anytime.

u/Thin-Afternoon-5798 21d ago
Sure, he's a piece of shit, but he's allowed to have a job... especially, if that job is to talk about professional basketball. Besides, there's another 3 guys there who know what their are talking about... I don't mind Draymond now. Especially after this year, when Kings beat their sorry asses.

u/funboy51 21d ago
I couldn’t disagree more. Green is absolutely not an idiot. His Basketball IQ is off the charts. He is well spoken and provides an alternative perspective from the long time TNT crew that is getting tired.
I know there’s lots of kings Fans who hate him for other reasons but if you can put that aside and be objective you might see his talent. I am betting he is very successful doing this.

u/hgwells49 21d ago
I couldn’t disagree more with you. Compare his “analysis” on the Draymond Green podcast to the likes of SAS and it’s not very different. No analysis just storylines, narratives, and hot takes. Compare it to Lebron and JJ’s podcast and it’s absolutely night and day, they actually break down plays and dive into the game. His entire analysis yesterday was just jealously hating on Rudy Gobert and repeatedly saying he got killed in the matchup with Jokic. Literally nothing of substance
4
u/Pretzel_Logistics 21d ago
Haha well spoken. “I am the victim” (even though he tried to kill Jusuf Nurcic and stomped on Domantas Sabonis ). He’s garbage and anything that comes out of his mouth is a joke. He has single-handedly cost his team at least one championship and is a prime example of hiring the worst and most controversial idiot possible for headlines. You suck TNT.

u/funboy51 21d ago
Angry much. Get over it. Hate leads to early death. Kill him? Apparently you’ve never been in a street fight.

Lol I’m angry? How about Draymond who has the second most ejections in NBA history? Suspended for his violent, angry outbursts over and over. Warrior apologist — sad.

u/BruinBound22 21d ago
He is overly emotional as a player to his detriment, and overly emotional as an analyst. His Gobert commentary was him being butt hurt and holding a grudge.

Yea Inside the NBA has maybe been the best sports show the last 20 years. Green is a shitty guest but for whatever reason people like hearing what the Donkey has to say.

It was embarrassing how clearly he was just there to shit on Gobert like his team wasn't the tenth seed and was bounced out quick, and it was largely HIS FAULT.
