He's killing the Warriors' chances in what could be the end of their window to compete for a championship, but hey, Draymond's gotta be Draymond, I guess.

he is literally out there playing jungle ball. at some point someone will seriously get hurt or have a career ending injury. What if Jordan Pool had gotten a concussion, this is life threatening stuff and he needs to be held accountable

Draymond got 5 games for trying to choke out Rudy Gobert. This isn't as hard of a hit, but it's the 2nd time he's assaulted someone when he's supposed to be playing basketball in the past 30 days. 20 game suspension minimum.

Impulse control. We are seeing it everyday in Target or Walmart or in airports or on the vacant lots in Vegas...

[@kevincicarella9163]

I still don’t understand how he not being charged with assault. This guy is clearly a danger to other players and anyone else who’s on the court

[@drhexagonapus]

I'm guessing the other player would have to press charges for him to get charged, but it definitely could be considered a crime.

[@johncorman8715]

Because then jails would be full of football and hockey players.

[@gr33dyglutton]

Part of the reason Draymond is still acting out, at an increasing rate, is because the NBA has often let him off with a fine instead of a suspension. Draymond clearly thinks it's ok to hit people as long as he tries to make it look accidental. NO ONE believes he did that on accident. This reminds me of when Artest elbowed Harden. Draymond needs to get in through his head he can't behave like this. He's going to hurt someone. Taking his lies and serial offender status he should be suspended for at least 20 games.

[@thegentlemen9389]

Lets be clear Draymond in the 90's would have got laid out.... he wouldn't have tried that with Barkley, Malone, Kemp, Oakley or any of those dudes hes trying this in a PG league... plus in the 90's i dont think he would have been in the league longer than 2 or 3 seasons.

[@catherinewilliams9680]

Draymond's explanation of what happened is another problem the modern NBA has. Where is it written that EVERY foul (or what players think is a foul) will get called simply because the player wants it called? He assaulted Nurkic because he was trying to "sell' the call.

[@lordrayden3045]

At some point the other players have to get pissed about this

[@alexp123e]

He’s always been like this. I’ve been saying he’s an idiot for 10 years.

[@jack90054]

The ESPN notification of this says it all: "Draymond Green unleashes spinning backhand to Jusuf Nurkic's face..." If you know nothing about the NBA, you'd think this was a notification for a UFC knockout.

[@wolfcastlewolfcastle5863]

Kerr Should be ashamed of himself as a coach.

[@yvesbailey]

He ain't the problem, the people who keep on supporting his antics are. Warriors should have gotten rid of him long time ago but they keep on rewarding him with contract extention and making excuse for his BS.

Is it wrong to call Green a thug??? I know that KZbin and the NBA disapprove of the word,but,in this case,it FITS!!!

As a warriors fan I'm over Draymond Green. I get he's a good player but the team doesn't benefit when he's constantly in the news or ejected.

[@billyboy2108]

Green needs to go far away

[@DeepDishPizza]

That’s your opinion. I bet you said the same thing about Rodman when if you were even born then.

[@rons3634]

Couldn't control his hands? He was doing a Tasmanian Devil impersonation.

[@blessembreaks]

At this point he should be named Draymond Mean

[@JReece3000]

He’s doing this on purpose, in my opinion. Not just his actions, but his lack of availability. It’s all good when they were winning and he was the glue guy. But now that there isn’t much to keep together he’s looking less important and doesn’t wanna be on the floor for the end. That way when the season goes how it goes he can say “well I wasn’t on the floor, so…”. Dude looked too eager to run into the locker room last night. Just my opinion.
