Yeah, he had his elbow around is neck and pulled him all across the floor, but it wasnt a proper rear naked choke, so it probably didn't cut off the blood flow.

If Rudy actually went to sleep, Draymond might have gotten a season suspension.

[@loverofhumanity]

@@rcbarnson6488 yup i was thinking wtf is draymond doing lmaoooooooo. TBH a rear naked choke takes a fraction of a second once you understand to squeeze your elbows together and how to put your arm around his neck. Hell I've even done it many times with one arm by grabbing the shoulder lol. It's just most guys don't know how to do it but it is very easy to learn. Once you understand it, you can pretty much choke out anyone who's never trained before. Actually that fight made me realize draymond has no fighting background. And other than one punch knockout he doesn't really know what he's doing

Paul George is just a racist mf similar to Stephen A Smith who is extremely racist. They literally made up a BS rule on the last minute to protect Draymond. You can look at any NBA fight and they all scuffle and grab anyone they can. In fact its more respectful to grab and pat your opponent on their back because it shows you're not taking the game personally but showing sportsmanship. Paul, Gilbert and Stephen A Smith made up a trash rule to save Draymond because Rudy is half White.

I know its not a particularly known sport but I used to play floorball (basically hockey without skates and all the gear also with lighter sticks and a ball filled with holes) and for us the two rules everyone followed was no bashing with the sticks and no hits from behind.

So based on this stupid ass logic i just witnessed for 12 minutes. Everyone on the warriors are soft because no one matched draymonds idiotic energy.

Just watch Steven Adams and DeRozan separates Ja Morant and Bradley when they scuffle. They grab other teams player but it went peacefully. It’s not about who’s guy you gonna grab. The goal is to separate each other. The people who is saying grab your guy is the people who give malice to the peacemaker and has a bad intention. It’s happening in most of the fights in NBA. They are grabbing, touching, pushing, etc other teams player to separate both players who are fighting but how come when it comes with Gobert this unwritten rule suddenly came up.

[@PatriciaCayton-ni9ti]

Rudy should not have grabbed Klay like he did. Rudy was not trying to help the situation. Draymond came over to get Rudy off Klay PERIOD. Also did anyone 👀 the back of Klay's neck. He had a long red scar from the tearing of his jersey from the other player. Can't think of his name right now. I'm 💯 upset about that. He did physically body injury to Kay. NOTHING WAS SAID. The physical evidence. He should have gotten a suspension of a game with $ FINE. If it was Draymond you know what would have PAPPENED.

[@MrDarkx1000]

⁠​⁠@@PatriciaCayton-ni9ti Were you born this stupid, or did you become this stupid after you started glazing the Warriors? Klay started this shit, so if he got a SCRATCH that shouldn’t factor in this at all lmao. As the dude you’re replying to said, opposing team’s players HAVE and DO separate each other’s players. Which in most cases defuses the situation. If anything Rudy was helping Klay, AND if Dray hadn’t confused the court for the octagon Klay and McDaniels probably would’ve just gotten techs than been ejected. Also lmao at you thinking a SCRATCH warrants a suspension and fine. Are you gonna examine McDaniels too? 😂😂😂

Lets be real if Steve Adams wouldve grabbed Klay, Draymond wouldnt of did that.

[@oMaJoJ]

Steven Adams would have also had enough sense to not grab Klay from behind

[@Daffy_C]

@@oMaJoJ Steve has grabbed multiple guys that weren't on his team(pause).

[@LevanEvan]

Dray would've kick him in his kiwi's again.

[@pocaoffice]

KAT and Ant knew that they could miss games. Draymond is expendable for missing games because the Warriors' main guys would do the same thing as KAT and Ant

[@sumterlb]

@Daffy Facts. Nobody touches Steven Adams. Draymonds just picks on the weak.

[@UjuNduka]

Okay. Stop with this ridiculous unwritten rule that countless players have broken in the league over the years. People are trying to break up the fight. It takes watching one NBA fight compilation video to see multiple instances where players have put hands on the opposing team player to try to stop the fight.

[@nyc1087]

ITS STILL NEVER OKAY TO CHOKE SOMEONE OUT LIKE THAT!!! Rudy let go pretty damn quick and draymond was holding on like he was out for blood. Nothing anyone says can make what draymond did morally okay or even normal. He’s gross and has no self control.

[@TechSavvyJoe]

Everyone hates Rudy including me. Can’t wait till he’s out of the league after his contract is over. Also known as being traded to the Orlando Magic

[@hecgotit]

Draymond don’t fight that man pick and choose his battles, he for sure ain’t doing that to Boogie for a fact, and he punched Jordan Poole of All people 🤣👎🏾

[@oliviercolletaz5841]

anyone who watched nba for a while and has seen how scuffles usually go knows this supposed "only grab your own teammate when trying to break things up" unwritten rule is a flat out lie and rightfully so btw, nba players are grown adults not 14 year olds

[@2FadeMusic]

thank you. It’s insane and sad watching grown adults still defend Draymond man.

[@UjuNduka]

Omg, thank you. All it takes is to watch a KZbin compilation of some fights to see that there are sooo many instances where players have grabbed the opposing teammate.

[@Damper042]

Yep cause if Rudy grabs his teammate no one has Klay and he can get a free shot in.

[@M.F.Gamesta]

Rudy should ask for a trade. Punches should have been hitting Draymond from every direction.

[@DanaStewart-n4x]

He needs to be traded back to France. He's too weak for USA basketball.

[@SaleliNNT6]

Kicking people in the nuts stepping on chests and now totally insane unnecessary choke. Dray is lucky he's not in the 90s era cuz he would have been DESTROYED by real GS when it comes to psychicality

[@myquest666420]

Imagine him trying this shit on Charles Oakley or Ben Wallace. Or the bad boy Pistons. They would have murdered Dray

If im Rudy anytime there is a fight or scuffle im going to rest on my bench.

Drey been had problems with Rudy thats exactly why he put his hands on him.

[@DG_Keys19]

A lot of you guys grab the other player when there are fights and no one mentions this rule. Just admit it’s because most of you don’t like Rudy. Let’s stop excusing draymond

[@Shortballa11]

Im riding for my teammate no matter the situation. Me and friend can squash the beef after but when we on the court my only allies are my teammates.

[@marktom9014]

If they are your teammates, they should know not to get into a fight with your friend. It kinda happened with the Gasol brothers where Mark was getting angry playing against the Lakers and pretty quickly both teams diffused the situation. Later both side admitted having Pau in between trying to choose between his team / brother was not something either side wanted.

Lot of bad teammates in the comment section. That shit's gonna be on tape. You think Rudy gonna be cool with how it went down? Hell no. Klay going through some shit right now.

[@td152]

Look at the angle/area Draymond came from....from his viewpoint, he saw Rudy's arm wrapped around/over Klay's shoulder/lower neck area... It makes sense that he'd go in on Rudy in the same way. He did go too far, though... Once he'd pulled Rudy away from Klay, he should've dropped his hold.

25 games minimum for that bs. Literally could have messed Rudy up bad.

[@nickbarry7039]

The whole grab your teammate not an opposing player narrative is getting so played out... I agree with the principle but you can watch any NBA scrum ever and people just grab whoever is closest to them every time, happens in literally every sport yet someone isn't getting yoked up for it all the time. I respect dray for standing up for his guy but it was a stupid how far he went with it, never liked the guy but with that said he's super entertaining and I guarantee his teammates love him. Guy is a great player just loses his cool so easily lol

[@_truthBtold]

Stupid take my guy, just cause you’ve seen it happen other ways before doesn’t mean it was right all those times. Grab your teammates because you never know how someone will take it.

​@@wgnd1614 yeah to separate them. Never said who started it and it doesnt matter when talking about rudy and dray. all rudy did was wrap his arms around klay and move him away, like everyone ever who has tried to calm down a fight in the nba. Any sort of retaliation from draymond was completely unjustified, dude just acted without thinking.

[@paul123100]

Karl-Anthony "If he dies, he dies" Towns

[@lylaeloise3948]

But what if someone already got your teammate? Conley already got McDaniels so Gobert was trying to move Klay who was closest to him because again, Conley already got McDaniels. Also KAT got in there and had his arm underneath Draymond's arm to prevent Dray from choking Rudy harder. How is that not having Rudy's back? KAT wasn't just standing there, he was physically trying to move Draymond's arm. He also doesn't want to get ejected, the big picture matters. He needs to be there to win the game.

[@kbrewers]

i thought it was more of jaden whipping klay around into gobert's path, and he just grabbed the first guy he got to. he would have had to go through klay almost to get to his teammate. I even think if draymond did what he did for the 1st second its ok, but not the next 9 seconds of that. Draymond just wanted to make a spectacle. Overall, im just tired of him and wish he would retire.

[@deeswagg21]

Still didnt have to wrap him up lol rudy couldve just got between it. but if rudy went higher it wouldve been the same thing

[@kbrewers]

I see players seperating players from other teams all the time in these scuffles, without issue. Its just an excuse at this point really.

There are so many clips of players from the opposing team stepping in to help break up a fight that the amount of bullshit coming out of PG’s mouth right now could fill an entire room.
