Draymont Green

[Obliviax]

got suspended for getting into an argument with KD. Reports coming in that, when Steve Kerr told him he was suspended, Green told him he was a "dumb cracker" and left the arena. Kerr told the GM to trade him so he wouldn't lose the championship for GSW like he did in 2016.

Yet one more reason michigan state should be burned down to the ground.

Green's statement is borderline racist.

Define “borderline”

Very good question. Probably was racist. However, in US society when a minority person makes a racist statement it is often excused.

Which is exactly why we as a country can't get past the issue. We never will, as long as it is ok for certain groups of people to say racist things without consequences. That is absolute bat shit craziness.

You and I are coming from the same place on this issue.

Long time Warriors fan here. I think Draymond Green is basically a good guy who works very hard, always gives 100% on the court, but is super competitive to the point where he frequently loses control of his emotions. Hope he can learn to control himself. Maybe this event and suspension will be a wake up call where he realizes when he loses it he only hurts himself and his team...hoping.

Your post brought back memories of how gracious Green was after the Warriors lost to the Cavaliers several years ago. Definitely, not "gracious" on the court though.

I’m hoping everyone did a little digging before believing this report.

If it was the other way around, it would be the top article on Yahoo "News"...

Your post just oozes class with every word . . .

The "dumb cracker" comment, although a fabrication, is pretty damn funny. Green has a lot of respect for Steve Kerr. Moreover, apparently KD had a role in this small blowup. He was calling for the ball as Draymond brought it up court with mere seconds left in regulation. Draymond did not pass him the ball, and ended up hitting the floor after colliding with a defender. FWIW, Sean Livingston defended Draymond in this, saying that the Dubs play in a team concept, and that guys don't always get the ball simply because they called for it.

This will almost certainly blow over pretty quickly. They just need to get Curry back. That will apparently happen on Thursday.

Edit: Draymond may not have called Kerr a “dumb cracker,” but he DID apoarently call KD a “bitch” several times last night after the loss to the Clippers.

Just watched KD at his postgame presser. You can tell KD is still pretty agitated about this. Hope they patch it up quickly.

Who cares. They need to create drama to get through a long season. The NBA is a bore until May... big rich dudes playing at half speed and sleep walking through a lot of games. The fans pay for this crap? Sad.

That's borderline ageist.....

Or have certain groups say a word and have it be the most offensive thing ever while another group says it and it's a term of endearment.

 

[jimdavis40]

Totally agree!! Green says it and it's his up bringing or where he came from that let's it slide. If a guy like JJ Reddick threw this type of language towards another race as he did as a slip towards the Chinese he was a racist. Green is a bad apple for his team.

Really??

You want to be stupid enough to go down this rabbit hole right now?

Calling another dude a "bitch" is racist? I don't think so. Insulting, yes. Racist, no.

LB, I think they just said 10 more days (5 games) for Curry.

 

[LafayetteBear]

Yeah, Ned. I heard a report that they had extended Steph's recuperation period a bit. I think they'll still make the playoffs, though.

But this Draymond-KD thing has gotta get resolved, or it will affect their playoff run.
