To fall off like he did with his scoring and shooting is something people don't like to talk about with Draymond.

Missing his nuts or not, the intention was there and that’s why it was assessed as a flagrant. *context is key* The NBA didn’t want headhunting of stars to come back like the 1960s-to-1982 era. (The discretionary power the NBA Refs have in assessing flagrant fouls is ALL on Nike and NBA beat writer’s like Skip Bayless. They started the narrative the Pistons were particularly dirty, because MJ wasn’t getting the calls when he *jumped into* set defenders and then fell. Nor when he pulled his regular season normal “sweep through the handcheck for any contact and immediately try a arm flapping jumper”, and he wasn’t getting that cheap call in the playoffs.

Draymond is dope and his insight is great to hear but... he definitely shoulda been suspended. U can’t intentionally try and nut tap people 😂. It’s intent not just the act, thats why u can’t swing dangerously at players. Then a FMVP wouldn’t make him top 75. Wishful thinking but no, especially if there’s multiple time MVPs and all decade players that are either off the list or in the backend of the top 75.

I mean they’re going to go down as an all time best regardless. But the finals run years w/o KD are certainly more respected by most fans. Just look at how quickly people have switched back to loving the Warriors again this year after despising them back in 2017-2019

[@jonvadmand1555]

Green is a great player but not a hof player. He has good statlines because of playing with hof guys (Steph and Klay) and the evolution of the 3pt game, a handful of "awesome" games og 3 championships. But he's not a hof player and he can say all he want about us having to "shut the hell up" (because he WANTS/NEEDS to right? Because he knows basketball better than everybody else?) it still does not make him right. I think he's doing a great job manipulating (or attempting to) the media, coaches and players into saying he is a hof player. We are probably going to hear so much about his rant in the next many years as he is working as a NBA analyst with Turner Sports. Players with championship does not always have to become hof players. Why is Horace Grant not a hof player? He won 3 championships and he had to do alot of "dirty work" and guard the other teams PFs and Cs. I would say he was better than Green (just imo). I think the most classy by Green would be (and he is probably not going to agree because I should just shut the hell up) not to talk about it anymore. Let others be the judge. It seems so greedy and needy that he insist he is a hof player. A lot of great players are not hof players. Don't let your ego get too big for your head.

I’m disgusted by this take by my guy from green pastures. You really don’t think you guys get another ring from 2017-2019 if you win in 2016 season? Do you know your backcourt? And who says you win finals mvp if the series is over in 5? Maybe after game 7 if you close it out. My man I cannot believe you. Also, the reason you’re off the NBA 75 is BECAUSE you got KD and you took 2017-2019 off when it comes to offense.
