Comment on Fuck Draymond Green

In general, I don’t like networks featuring active players as analysts. I always take their critique of other players with a grain of salt because they are all competing for the same roster spots. They can hate on a team all they want, but remember: the reason that an active player is working as a play off analyst is because their team lost and the team they are critiquing did not.
But yes, Draymond is a dirty player. I do think he is not Andrew Bynum (who actively injured other players) but more out of control than Metta World Peace.

The one that got me is his recent interview on Shaqs podcast where he admitted he thinks fighting the best player on the other team so that they’d both get tossed was a net positive for his team. He talked about it like it was a legitimate basketball strategy and not what a loser would do.

Not just losers. Dennis Rodman is in the Hall of Fame. The 90s were a different time. Many of Green’s antics would have ended up with him getting beaten up.

Back then they’d let it go and it was more similar to a hockey enforcer role. Pomeranian Greem isn’t defending his guys, he’s deliberately taking their best player out. What a shit cunt, as we say in my country.
