2024 NBA Offseason

Anything any of us said here is opinion, everything. What I will never do though is try to get in someone’s head and act like I know how they should act. That’s your game, you can have it.

Me neither but whatever. You sure seem to know how Draymond Green should act

Anything I say about him is my opinion, I’m damn sure not alone.

 

[msgkings322]

Anything I say about him is my opinion,

Of course, couldn’t agree more

I’m damn sure not alone.

perhaps but exaggerating this part of it is exactly what I’m talking about

And you worrying about how I go about expressing my opinion is what I’m talking about with you. Man just say I’m wrong and go on, quit being so wrong about someone you don’t know.

 

[shopson67]

You seem to be the type who 'falls for' what entertainers do

Ah, so it's entertainment when he chokes opposing players, punches them in the balls amongst other cheap shots.

 

[shopson67]

There’s nothing to argue it’s just opinions. You feel how you feel about him and that’s fine with me. Where you so often go wrong is projecting how you feel onto everyone else and assume your view is widely shared.

It's not opinions when the man has choked and punched guys in the gens.

I'm super worried

I don't need pro wrestling in my hoops.

Sure, that's his role as villain. It's expected you don't like him, just as you wouldn't have liked Rodman and Barkely and Laimbeer and the other villains. You don't like him but you are entertained by having him to hate.

My point is the game needs all kinds and Green will leverage his persona to a big post-playing career just like Barkley did.

No issues with Rodman or Barkley. Laimbeer was a douche lol.

As I said earlier, it makes sense that you support him. He's a great player, but gets away with far too much shit that isn't good for the game.

I'd feel the same way if he was on another team...I like the weirdos and the villains, the sport would be boring without them

He's a great player, but gets away with far too much shit that isn't good for the game.

It's great for the game. When he goes too far he gets smacked down. He hasn't kicked anyone in the crotch in many years. And here we are talking about NBA Enemy #1.

His best comp is Barkley, who got every bit as much hate as Draymond gets now.

Barkley wasn't a dirty player. He runs his mouth, but that's not unique.

Barkley got plenty of techs and beefs. Dray isn't a dirty player, you're thinking of Chris Paul.

Paul is ALSO dirty. Doesn't make Dray an innocent, lol.

This isn't dirty?

 

[msgkings322]

It's crazy violent and was severely punished, but Draymond isn't known as a dirty player the way CP3 is.

Anyway, it's not like we're changing minds here. I completely understand how he is thought of by many fans, and so does he, and the league, and it's all good for business. Part of a long history of NBA villains.

Ball kicking. Grabbing players by their throat. Punching players in practice.

Not dirty at all, sure

Don't forget about stomping on an opponents chest.
