The fact that this topic is still pulling people in weeks later underscores how big a mistake Draymond made on this one. I have the feeling this is going to be an inescapable part of his legacy. Poole is a better one than me. One of us would have to get up outta Golden State. I couldn't continue to work with a co-worker that sucker punched me in the face.

[@miltoncharle7]

Understandable if it was a sucker punch lol which this wasn’t….. they both was face to face and Poole chose not to be on his guard in a heated situation like that. It’s really common since. Don’t get it twisted tho he got knocked out fasho

[@FlavaFabe]

@@miltoncharle7 We all have different opinions on what a sucker punch is so whether it was or not is debatable. Either way I just cant get with it. Would you have expected a punch like that from your brother, friend, or trusted Co worker?

[@Taytona1011]

@@yahchannanhowdavyah9660 it was a sucker punch, no one expected anything to be thrown especially Poole

[@danshowlund]

Well, with the benefit of hindsight your point appears pretty prescient, most games GS looks like a shell of itself and non-descript rumors of “chemistry issues” have circled them all season. Considering that prior to that punch the Warriors appeared to be the most cohesive, selfless team since the 2015 Spurs I think it’s fair to say that wound hasn’t healed (metaphorically). However, in my opinion, it wasn’t so much the fact that the punch was thrown, but rather the fact that there’s video of it which got put on social media. Without that video the team can just spin the narrative simply as “Draymond and Jordan Poole got in a fight” which probably doesn’t even make national news. Sore feelings would remain I’m sure, but it would’ve been much easier to bury the hatchet.

Yup. They put that tape out so nobody would bat an eye at not giving him the extension. The problem is, whatever great trade value Dray had is now out the door. They will essentially have to let him walk for nothing now. Unless he decides to do right by them like KD did and do a sign and trade

They can be friends but Draymond gotta let Poole sock him in the face. I had a friend “accidentally” burn me with a fork and I told him - either I’m going to punch you in the face or burn you back. We both have similar burn marks and are homies to this day.

[@nostalgicbliss5547]

Dude punched him and made him look like a hoe. That punch was thrown with real bad intentions. Meaning Draymond wanted to hurt him. That's not the way you treat a guy you just won a championship with and you are 10 years older than, a veteran in the NBA and supposedly the heart and soul of the team. If I was Jordan Poole I have to fight him to restore my dignity.

[@storyofmylife7080]

They will NEVER be friends again!

[@Flow_Easy]

I've seen the opposite these days. People now want you to forgive and move on. The reason why I don't think Poole should forgive Dray is because he could have seriously hurt him. Thankfully he had enough wit about him to grab onto Dray when he got clocked because if it would've been head straight to floor? That's a whole nother issue. Poole should forgive Dray because it's the godly thing to do, they said Jesus didn't hold grudges so neither should I. But I guess it all depends on the person. If JP feels he can move on, then that's what they'll do.

[@anthonymajor9410]

I have always loved how Magic says maaannnnn…. Draymond was wrong and things will never be the same. I saw it on the court in the playoffs (2023) when Poole snatched away from him when he tried to hype him up (which was crazy in and of itself). I don’t blame Poole and I don’t think we could be on the same team.

[@jayatmosphere2745]

Draymond definitely regrets it! That’s why he continues to speak on it. He’s trying to convince himself that what he did was justified but he’s very shameful of himself.

How is the incident worse because a video is leaked? I don’t understand. Isn’t the punch the main issue, whether we saw it or not? I do agree with Magic’s take. A lot of these players have downplayed what Raymond did. I’m glad Magic called it like it is by distinguishing pushing and grabbing from slugging a guy in the face.
