OT: Draymond Punches Jordan Poole

CardiacAndre7 said:
Lmao did you watch the video? When was Poole SCREAMING at Draymond? And when someone shoves their body on you, are you supposed to just be cool with that?

Weird choice to defend Draymond here, not unexpected though.

I'm not defending Draymond, I'm saying sports are totally different than the jobs the majority of people have. I'm guessing you can't yell at your co-worker calling them a m'fer, shove them, throw things at them, punch them, tackle them.

It's weird you think I'm defending Draymond, it's weird you think I said Poole screamed at Draymond and it's weird you don't understand it's a totally unique environment but not unexpected coming from you.

A sucker punch is a sucker punch. Draymond has a history of altercations and obviously hasn't learned a damn thing. By not punishing him they are allowing it.

At least he said sorry though.

And now all sorts of great memories of being in the military come flooding back.

What would happen if Steve Kerr leveled an equipment guy (or gal) in a similar way? Fired. These guys don't get a pass because they're athletes. Guys making millions need to be accountable like any other employee. I'm not talking about pushing and shoving during physical practice.
 
Draymond pissed Poole will get paid before he does.. Anger builds and gets in Poolse face

Poole pushes him out of his airspace

Draymond Sucker Punches him with full fist. Lucky no serious injury

Wish he would be held accountable but he is too valuable a psycho.

Glad Steph shutdown crap stories about Poole acting selfish

They absolutely do get a pass because they're athletes. Steve Kerr was punched in the face by Jordan. You know what he did, used it as fuel to become a better player and someone Jordan could trust would make the big shot if he passed him the ball. It made their relationship much stronger and made them both better players.

This type of stuff has happened all the time over the years and it was squashed...we just didn't always have everything filmed, social media, and a relentless 24/7 news cycle.

Don’t see how that relationship can ever be repaired after this. Two important pieces of the warriors championship team, I’m interested to see how they resolve this issue

A good friend of mine threw hot wax on me and tried to choke me at a bar. We're still good friends.

You're confusing what "should" happen and what "did" happen.

Was MJ fired? No. Should he have been fired? Hell yes. Assault is assault is assault even if you can put a round ball in a metal hoop pretty well.

Will Draymond get fired? No. He'll probably get a few game suspension. Should he be fired? Absolutely.

Jordan Poole is my new favorite player if this is true

HuskyHawk said these guys don't get a pass because they're athletes. I didn't say they should or shouldn't, I said they do get a pass because they're athletes.

If you're asking for my opinion I think sports are just different and they should remain different. lt should be handled internally. Beefs are pretty much always squashed by the guys involved. The last thing I want is pressure from the outside world calling for firings, charges, and litigation.

Best part of this is they got away with Felcher and Sons as the firm's name.

Well done.

That's funny, my freshman year roommate broke a bottle over my head in a drunken stupor and tried to stab me with it. I called him a few weeks ago to get a recommendation for an expert witness.

Draymond is wrong, but anyone calling it a sucker punch must have never seen a true sucker punch or been in a fight.

maybe not a sucker punch by the strictest of definitions but surely a sucker move. initiates the conflict by walking over to JP's space, chest bumping him and getting in his face. Then responds to a "get off me" shove by launching himself into a punch against a guy who was looking at the practice court. Draymond is a bozo who can't control himself.

Such a sheltered life. You need to watch The Aristocrats tonight.
 
if he wasn’t a “Baller”. He would be in jail because he has the IQ of a cantelope. I have zero respect for morons. He’ll still wind up in jail one day.

He said most places of work. Name an occupation where you can sucker punch a co-worker and there won't be major repercussions.

I was fired for telling someone I’ll make them cry. Still got unemployment though as I proved that he deserved to be taught a lesson. Sometimes you just gotta knock some sense into people. So I kinda understand where Draymond is coming from.
 
BleedHuskyBlu said:
Agreed, maybe it’s just the environment I grew up in but if someone gets in your face you push them and then need to be on high alert. Don’t consider it a sucker punch if you have had contact with them or they are walking right towards you

Something similar happened to me. Was playing pickup ball and the other team’s point guard kept driving down the lane and doing a scoop layup. I finally had enough and laid the wood to him to let him know enough was enough. He hit me in the face with the basketball as he got up off the ground. I grabbed him by the shirt and repeatedly punched him in the forehead. Unlucky for me his sister was there and wanted revenge. Neither one could land a punch and eventually cooler heads prevailed but he didn’t try going into the paint again after that.

He hands the ball off to Steph/Klay to hit threes, his passing is vastly overrated.

Duncan and Kawai schooled Draymond’s clown self. He’s lucky the warriors are stacked and teams hardly pay attention to Draymond.
 
It’s wild how many people are defending this.

It’s one thing if two guys get in each other’s faces and punch it out. By all accounts, that’s more common than we hear about.

This wasn’t that. Poole didn’t shove Draymond for no reason. He pushed him off when Draymond got right up in his face - and then Draymond did a full windup and clocked Poole in the face when he wasn’t looking.

He’s just not a good person.
