This is mad disrespectful to play the race card when we are ACTUALLY struggling. He's just an asshole 🤷🏿♂️

Maybe stop acting like one???
Uh…Draymond, with all due respect, you’ve kicked too many people in the dick to blame that on an “agenda”. Two things are true here: he’s great at basketball with a great family and he’s occasionally an unhinged lunatic on the court.
I hope his family is strong and keeps it 💯 with him.
Never viewed him as angry, just a dirty player who puts other players health at risk through his actions.
He’s so delusional that he forgets everything his own film.
The dude that’s throwing elbows, kicking nuts and screaming in the refs face?
I just about gagged reading Green's statement today. He thinks he's being unfairly picked on and there's an 'agenda' against him. I have watched and coached basketball for 50 yrs and I have in all that time never seen a basketball player who deserves to be kicked out of every single game
he plays like Draymond Green. He is the most abusive, bullying, player I have ever seen. I really liked him at Mich. St. He is a great defender and team player. HOF for sure! I love GSW, but for him to think him getting technical fouls by the handfuls because he's targeted by officials,
that's just ridiculous. No other player in the NBA verbally abuses officials like him. I am sick and tired of him screaming in officials faces, and gesturing wildly. I believe the NBA officials are the most incompetence officials in pro sports, but they do not need to take that kind of abuse.
Right but like... I have eyes. And I can watch basketball.
He can b a nice guy n a dirty player at the same time… I watched him step on Sabonis chest lol
He's not a nice guy
He’s a dick.
I disagree you can be a nice guy and a dirty player.
I mean it’s not like he ever punched a team mate or anything crazy like that! He’s a hothead and a dick.
Its has nothing to do with off the court.. You are just an ass on the court.. fix it..
He has failed to outgrow his habit of crossing the line of acceptable behavior while competing. He has a long way to go to convince people he doesn’t have a real problem.
Wolves gonna make him real mad
Must of been another dude elbowing people in the head, nut shots, choking
You rock Dre
Being a very successful educated Black man with a great family and being great at what he does—nobody disagrees. Two things can be true at once.
Then stop mugging people in broad daylight, asshole!
Whatever you say.
He punched his own teammate, is uncontrollable maybe not an angry black man, but just uncontrollable stupid immature. When he plays, he wins championships.
Will say anything to avoid accountability
This was in response to a fan being kicked out for yelling a racial slur at him. No one deserves that. Still, now Draymond can use that one fan to dispel legitimate criticisms of his bad behavior.
Ahhh, I heard about the fan interaction but not the slur being used. That's awful.
And a dirty player
😆😆😆😆 Keep telling yourself that Draymond. If it wasn’t for Step Curry, no one would know your name. You’d be a psycho washing dishes at Applebees.
Maybe if he would quit getting technicals and landing cheap shots, people won’t think he’s angry?
bsky.app/profile/nbas...
Receipts lol
📌
Bruh .. You kick, jump on, punch, choke and poke insult anyone who betters you on the court!! The only reason you're not doing it off the court is because the triggers hasn't gotten you riled up enough.
Honestly I never once thought “angry black man” when I watched Green. He’s just an asshole.
Was describing him to my wife who doesn't watch any basketball and I just said he's kind of a douche. Didn't think of angry at all.
Right. He never really seems angry. He enjoys screwing with people and getting away with hurting people.
💯
As a long time Warriors fan, I'm tired of Draymond's antics. His example on the floor is embarrassing for his children and while he's partly responsible for four titles, he also cost the Dubs a fifth title.
he’s such a dirtbag
Two of the NHLs all-time goons — George Parros and Kevin Westgarth — went to Princeton. What does educated have to do with the way he plays?
He makes a decent point. I get it. He is those things. But the point would be more solid if, I don’t know, he didn’t constantly hit dudes in the face, chest, and crotch… 🤷🏼♂️
You know who is a successful black man, Jordan Poole, Rudy Gobert is as well but Draymond Green can't stop himself from physically assaulting successful black men. I'm starting to think that Draymond Green is a terrible person and completely full of it
He’s bad for the game. Full stop.
I am not a fan of Draymond. I understand him like a MF though. I know he rub people the wrong way and most of it is racially based. Angry? Hell no, he makes too much money, & he's happily married. He reminds me of Dennis Rodman, a dirty player that annoys everyone. He is very very intense.
Refs gonna throw your ass out of the playoffs real soon. Kerr may bench you before that happens. You are continuing to be a liability to your team. You want to be known as a leader. Well then grow up and play basketball and quit with the childish violent fits!
I am really surprised he cooled down last night. I thought he would get ejected. Coaching a player who’s brilliant in a lot of ways, but a nightmare in others, makes me respect Kerr. I know Kerr hates Dray’s dark side. Draymond has serious issues.
It’s hard to watch lately I agree Kerr manages his childish outbursts as well as he can. But I think of how Pop would handle it. I know the warriors need him on the court but the obvious intention to hit people with cheap shots and then cry victim needs checked. If Kerr won’t do it the refs will
Pop would have suspended him for a season if need be. I am a Warriors fan. I don’t like Draymond and I don’t know how much power Kerr has to come down hard on him. Draymond will retire soon and we can move forward.
I’m a huge fan as well Just sick of hoping he will mature and getting the same ol shit. He may get packaged up and traded depending on how Steph feels about the situation! Go Dubs!
I’m a huge fan and admire how special he is at BASKETBALL, but dude… c’mon.
He’s gaslighting himself lmaoooo
And he’s just stupid enough to fall for it.
Dude’s entire persona is being a bully and borderline dirty player lmao…. Nobody said you weren’t educated, that just makes your play worse because you know what you’re doing
i don’t think it’s borderline at this point, i fear 😂
No borderline about it. He's a dirty dirty player
Literally, every reasonable analysis of his entire act has never suggested he's a dummy. In fact, his actions are consistently apologized for upon the basis that somebody with his intellect must be doing that stuff for other reasons, rather than just being undisciplined
Borderline?
It's your world, we just live in it. Keep playing the victim, Mr Furious.

Disgusting people. No matter what most fans think of Draymond, as an opposing player on the court, we respect him as a human being and man. These fans should have a lifetime ban from NBA games. Wolves Nation doesn't want them. 🖕🖕 #nba #timberwolves #makeracistsaffraidagain #gowolves
I too think the agenda to make Draymond look angry and violent and unstable is unfair. By “agenda” we mean everything he’s ever done on a basketball court right? Sorry, I’m being told it may be fair after all
I mean…..can we just call him a dick? Cuz he’s definitely a dick, right? I have zero problem with how he plays. lol. But he’s a dick for sure.
He really needs to cut all that shit out.
Nobody says Draymond is angry, we do say cuz cuz is a nutcase and flails like Karl Malone
"agenda" Dude look at your repeated, consistently egregious actions Goddamn accountability is dead
You kick people in the testicles on purpose. Your entire game has been predicated on being an annoying pest for your entire career. An incredible basketball player, but don’t get upset when you play the role that only warrior fan’s can enjoy. If you want general acceptance go back in time
Being educated, successful and somehow still just a cunt
I don't know how "angry" Draymond Green is, but I do know he keeps getting caught making dirty plays.
He’s a real ass punk who’s never been punched in the face. Because he has had way too many incidents where he puts everyone’s playing career at risk for possible serious injuries. @theathletic.bsky.social
What’s actually “incredible” is how much the league bends over backwards to keep him from being ejected from games. He’s a dirty player who should get his 2nd T or flagrant far more often
I am a Warriors fan and one of your fans. That being said, we all know you are judged differently on the court. We need you to keep yourself on check so we have the best chance of winning with you on the floor. Your intensity is needed for us to win.
The fact he thinks he's'great' at basketball is his problem. He's very good on one half of the court, on defense. Even there he's effective because the NBA is as much about entertainment ($$) as it is about the sport now. He plays dirty but people like drama and it sells.
He's a dirty player who is undeniably central to the Warriors success but also causes them massive headaches. He also has the most leeway with refs I've ever seen. I just wish he would stop punching people and STFU
It's not that he's black whatsoever, it's that he's a giant taint stain.
If Draymond pulled this shit in the 70's and 80's NBA he'd be picking his teeth up off the court. Yes he's a successful basketball player and a good family man but he plays dirty SOMETIMES and gets called out for it. 2 things can be right at the same time. He knows what he's doing. Spare us the act.
I do love his self sarcasm, though, calling himself “a great basketball player.” That’s pretty funny, and it’s pretty cute too
He's just a dirty player
Either he’s a sociopath liar or he’s completely without insight.
tha'ts on the court. hurl racial slurs is disgusting regardless of how much an asshole he is. period.
I dunno, those all look like basketball plays to me...🤣🤣
Narrative lol
This is what you do when you absolutely don’t want accountability for repeated actions. Draymond is an all time great defender who also gets away with more shit than just about anybody in regard to arguing calls.
People who define being great as having money is too damn high.
Says the one that acts a fool but okay….
I feel uneducated and angry best describe this ahole.
he’s not well … mentally
he’s never done a single thing to deserve this. never once stomped on a guys nuts or anything
A former boss of mine said the higher up you are in the tree of success the weaker the branches. Those that envy will try to shake you, IGNORE THE NOISE, take care of business, the team needs you Dray.
🎻
He's a dipshit
Its like he doesnt realize there is video every time he intentionally hits someone in the head (or other body parts)
Hahahaha. A literally meant and heartfelt fuck you goes out to Mr. Green. As a hardcore fan of class acts like Kerr and Curry, it is really hard to stomach how he fucks up nearly every season and/or playoff run. Aside from the fact that I simply hate people who don’t care if they hurt others. STFU🤬
WTF dude?? I'm a Dubs fan and I think it is ridiculous that he's pulling the race card on this. Take accountability, and stop flailing your arms and legs wildly. It's deliberate and it's old. You're 35 and have been doing this for a while. Other players avoid doing shit like that just fine. Grow up.
I've never understood how the league, both the office and the players, let it go. I mean he intentionally tries to imjure someone about once a month, and everyone just sorry of laughs at it?
I have no idea, but how does his teammates, Kerr, the GM not sit him down and tell him in no uncertain terms: "Hey stop with the effing bullshit, stop the flailing CUZ YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBTB ANYMORE. That ship has sailed. Just effing stop". He's been coddled for way too long
This is what Kerr said after the Houston series btw, so they knew Dray's flailing was gonna be a problem. And apparently it was NOT addressed as he said it would.
They should have addressed it by trading him and keeping Durant.
They should've, but Curry would've vetoed it cuz that's his sidekick
Steve Kerr must be soooooo sick of this junk
He is, but at the same time he bears some responsibility for it also, for coddling him
STOP DOING DUMB SHIT.
If it walks like a duck…
Man needs ANOTHER intervention
Maybe stop choking people out and kicking them in the nuts?
Aggressor plays victim. I’ve seen this movie.
I don’t know, maybe just quit punching people in the face and you should be good?…. 🤷🏻♂️
I heard a lot of people saying Draymond sucks though. Like, I'm sure he's probably a kind and decent person or whatever, but - as a player - he's kinda a dick.
Come on man…I’m a warriors fan, but you are not the victim here.
You don’t have to be angry to play dirty and violent. You don’t have to be uneducated either. On the contrary. It takes a smart person to find the shades of gray in which to operate. We have working eyes. We see who he is. And he’s not the only one in the NBA. Just the most commonly offending.
Huh?
You tell em Draymond! SF loves you!
You made the agenda sir!! lol 😂
Serial nut-puncher, knee-kicker and chest-stomper. Will never take him seriously. If he wasn’t riding in Curry’s backpack, he’d be out of the league maybe playing in China.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Casual
They always are with these takes
I blocked him.
I like leaving it open to come back once the warriors win the series.
I don't like Draymond but I'll admit he's extremely talented. Saying otherwise is dumb. It's a shame he lets his impulse control overshadow his legacy, because it will. It's a small fraction of his game but it always seems to rear its ugly head. The criticism levied at him is not without merit.
I agree with most of that except the overshadow. There's too much legacy, and it's not done yet. It's a challenging part of the story for sure.
"If he wasn't riding in Curry's backpack, he'd be out of the league maybe playing in China." That's a silly take.
Disagree. Curry’s aura has been a ratings shield allowing Dray to get away with goon-ish shenanigans that others are not afforded. Which is a shame, because Dray is talented enough to not need to go the goon route.
Ngl, I just straight up misread what you said. Mb
Grow up and maybe it will go away.
You could easily stop kicking people in the dick, Dray. But you choose to
The agenda?! DRAYMOND. As a Black man saying this...... get the ENTIRE fuck outta here. I've never seen an athlete this hell bent on taking zero accountability for their actions. Well, maybe OJ but that's a different discussion.
Exactly
He is just a dirty player who is willing to hurt other players to boost himself up with wins.
I couldn't tell you if he's an, as he puts it, "angry Black man" because I don't know his mental state. But I'm 100% certain based on what I see when he's on the court, that he is the league's dirtiest player.
Why does he flail his arms and legs? Sick and tired of his schlock schtick. Is he going to cost the Dubs a legitimate championship run this year? Sure seems that way.
Ha, your a dirty twat
I never thought he was stupid or low iq ever but he’s legitimately the dirtiest player in the league possibly all time and what always makes him look bad is the lack of accountability. That’s all. It’s fun watching this stuff happen in real time!
Draymond Green received his fifth technical foul of the playoffs. The four-time All-Star is now two technical fouls away from an automatic one-game suspension ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/634...
He’s a fucking *obnoxious* human, on *and* off the court, is what he is. During the NBA All Star weekend, he spent the entire time at the desk complaining that the young players didn’t “deserve” to be there. 🙄
I never thought Draymond was angry, per se. What he is is a dirty player who puts other player’s health and safety at risk constantly to cover up his defensive gaps. If this was hockey somebody would have busted out all his teeth by now with a high stick…
I would pay big money to see that. 🤣
He forever the victim.
💯
🎯🎯🎯
Delusional much?
Said the dirty player.
What a piece of shit!
and need therapy.....again!!
Minnesota nice is not so nice in this case.
Why is he always the victim
"I'm not an angry black man," says black man angrily.
He's a dick.
And a dirty basketball player who accidentally on purpose hits people upside the head with his flailing limbs repeatedly…on camera. And feigns innocence, plays the victim, and now insults all our intelligence with this latest ridiculous take.
Maybe stop acting like an infant when you disagree with a call.
He's emotional with a temper. He's a great player, but you can't just punch Jordan Poole because you don't like him.
He seems angry and he's black 🤔
I'm sick of his dirty game.
He’s also an azz! 99% of the black players don’t act like his stupid azz…typical bully always the victim when he’s always starting ish up🙄
He's just a dick and a dirty player on the court. Has nothing to do with color.
Maybe he should stop assaulting people on the court. It's not the 1980s anymore.
Draymond Green is an rough, tough opponent. Comm Silver & NBA have turned the games into a hard contact sport. All players have to elevate their game to compete. NBA, Refs & the players must all work together to dial down the contact. Don't blame it all on Draymond & single him out.
Every team mauls Steph Currey and he rarely gets to the FF line!
Literally has his arm tugged when he moves and his hand smacked when he shoots
um, this is incorrect. please watch a pistons v. anyone in 1989, and tell me the league is now rough. its not. it babies shooting from 35ft. nothing like the banging under the basket in the 80s/90s.
The sports media has a narrative on Draymond and they largely stick to it. But watch the games and pay attention to the way other teams play the Warriors. Draymond's not cutting guys' legs out and sending them to the floor. He's not slapping at other players nursing injuries.
Put down the homebrew jenkem
Yes. I'm a homer for Warriors, Niners and Giants. I admit it.
Then you clearly didn’t watch the game tonight where he elbowed someone in the head and started SCREAMING at the ref for rightfully calling it a tech. So you’re extremely full of shit
I'm a big homer. I admit it.
So you admit you’re full of shit
No. I admit to being a homer.
I watch the games so that's how I know he (and you) are full of it. Sports media give Draymond a pass because he's a good interview. They'd kill any other guy with his history that includes punching out a teammate and costing his team a title because he wouldn't stop kicking guys in the balls.
You got me. I'm an unrepentant homer for the Warriors.
Maybe Jordan Poole punched himself?
Good one.
bro playing the race card… just stop smacking ppl ffs
Have I missed people trying to make Draymond out to be an angry black man? Because I have not seen that. What I have seen is him doing a lot of shady shit on the basketball court which leads to people talking about him being a dirty player and that is a much different discussion.
This just comes off like him trying to change the context of his actions so people won't question and when he acts like a dick.
Not a fan. I have seen far too many instances of what appeared to be intent to injure. I can't say what his intent was but I know what it looked like.
If he's not angry then he's just a happy lunatic on the court.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DKC...
Stop mistaking my hatred for you because you are black. I hate you because you are very aware of your role as a shit heel in the NBA and trying to hand wave it away as a racial issue which does nothing but benefit reactionaries instead of you just admitting you’re a fucking goon.
Shit, my grammar is awful but the message still stands.
Just stop falling into people, grabbing necks, arms, and stop kicking dicks. Seems easy.
Dude is delusional
I love this response by Draymond, because it is 100% true. He is an educated, successful black man, by all accounts a great Dad, and a very talented and successful athlete. F the haters.
It's a false equivalency. You can be all of those things and still be an over-aggressive, borderline-dirty player.
Come on, Draymond. For real?
I mean, kinda hard to argue against the narrative when you are top 5 in technical fouls every year since 2017, averaging about 13 techs/season. You get techs by fouling too hard or mouthing off at the refs, take your pick.
🧐 people earn their reputations
Seems angry
You can be educated and also a bully and an asshole. its fairly common actually
