I love the fact that these stories come out about ex players getting in fights with teammates. Everybody was killing Draymond like that stuff never happens.

[@NoNo-ng9sl]

You notice how it's usually between players that know when to give and take? Draymond is a straight up bully. Cowerd when Zach Randolph put him in place. Had he ever had a teammate like Maxwell to test his nuts it'd be different. The fact that Olojuwon didn't take Max's shyt should let you know how different it was back then. Draymond loves to play tough guy on weaker guys. That's his m.o.

[@1trl2]

Vernon might be draymond's daddy!

[@Chasingtails24]

Because hes sassy, these guy were men , dray is a punk bully he never gets into it with someone on his time, pool bum ass was just a baby that shit was cowardly , only the strong can show compassion to the weak , because these bullies /cowards knows he seldom wins so he/she takes advantages of any chance they get

[@billbixby557]

I have a cousin who always used to talk about how Hakeem would swing or snap on somebody real quick during his early career, just the way he would say it used to crack me up. "...don't get it twisted, The Dream will knock your b**** a** OUT"!! It's not that I didn't believe him at the time but it's funny when one of these stories trickle out because he carried himself like such a gentleman later in his career but these players basically say the thing as mi primo! Props to Mad Max for sharing this gem of a story, to this day he's still a local legend in The Ocho ( H-town )

[@MrMikelew2929]

It's kinda like MC Hammer. He was a positive rapper, but he's known to play no games.

@@MrMikelew2929 it's funny you say that about Hammer ( his was one of the first two tapes I ever purchased ) ... Years ago I saw probably a VH1 special I don't know exactly what it was either way they were talking about how he would roll around with his entourage, his brother WAS NOT PLAYING GAMES. So he could play Mr Joe Cool & smile for the cameras because he knew his blood had his back at a moments notice.
