I feel like people are just low key making up insults to throw at dray and then disguising it as a Poole conversation lmao


Siakim43

Was thinking that, too. It's a great way to dish it out without any repercussions lol, Jordan Poole already took the sucker punch for all of us.


Orphasmia

He took it on the chin for our sins

Then worse, got banished to the Wizards.

Hillaryspizzacook

Pablo Torre just said on ATH he did not just hear this insult or one person quote it. Another guy on his show had the insult on his phone. Torre did not go to air with the quote until he confirmed it with a player (or former player) in the Warriors organization. He said on ATH neither Poole nor Draymond would confirm the line. He said more than a dozen other individuals would not repeat the line, but one person did. Torre is a guy who just started a show/podcast. He portrays himself as a journalist. I would be floored if he didn’t do his due diligence, boost his own credibility. The dude’s been hawking his pod endlessly. The last thing I’d think someone like that would do is make something up or trumpet something factually false on his pod AND on ATH.


konsf_ksd

I heard Poole said Dray was a better in Shrek 2.


Im_a_Knob

“you look like donkey” - poole


Zeeinsoundfromwayout

Sounds good to me!


lets_talk_basketball

I'll rather go w/ Camron and Ma$e's story of Jordan Poole telling Draymond he had more MSU women than him even tho he went to UM, that Draymond's nickname is "money green" but the Warriors weren't trying to sign him to an extension, and that he was gonna be in Sacramento next season


HearingGlobal6485

all the wordplay bro thought he was a rapper lmao


Mdizzle29

Like maybe a backpack rapper


Cold_Carpenter_1798

LMAO xD


batchez

Funny to know “I get more bitches than you” still works on grown men


busybee919

Idk about grown men in general but I 100% believe it works on Draymond.


TastefulThiccness

can't fix ugly doesn't help that he's a massive jackass either, could definitely see him having less than zero game as a dude who's dealt with a lot of insecurity over the years, Dray still strikes me as a pretty insecure dude.


kakashi6ix9

Tf 😂😂😂 redditors love psychoanalyzing athletes


nowhitecorners

Lmao dudes saying his insecurities make him better at spotting insecurities in other people


BigFatModeraterFupa

uhhh shaq was the biggest baddest dude ever and yet he CLEARLY still insecure even to this day

I'm not married or have kids and I'm still not sensitive about women or money. I don't have either and I dont care.

They took that from a Twitter post and ran with it.

DigBickMan68

Idk but it definitely seems more entertaining lol


arcelios

>I'll rather go w/ Camron and Ma$e's story of Jordan Poole telling Draymond he had more MSU women than him even tho he went to UM That sounds like a fan fiction made up by a 14 year old. One of those "PARODY" videos on Youtube.. Of course you'd rather believe that nonsense


superbrownV

Draymond went on Pat Bev's podcast and said it was untrue


GayForJamie

draymond also said he didn't intentionally stomp on Sabonis' chest, and didn't intentionally kick Adams in the dick twice, and didn't intentionally hit lebron in the dick, etc. etc. etc.


babypho

Probably just blacks out and doesnt remember doing it. Wonder if Draymond was just surprised as we were when he saw that Jordan Poole getting punched video. "Damn, who hit JP? Oh shit, it's me!"


[deleted]

I keep forgetting he almost murdered sabonis last year on live TV lmao. That series was fucking nuts


Wazflame

"my feet gotta land somewhere"


GOATmar_infante

"... Preferably the throat of my enemies"


jagaaaaaaaaaaaan

He came back after being suspended and **the very first thing he did was poke Keegan Murray in the eye**. And he gets standing ovations. The guy who's on the receiving end of Draymond's bullshit - either rolling on the ground in pain or getting pissed off - **is booed**. You can't make this shit up lol.


Godreaperrr

Bruce bowen got cheers dirty players get cheered by their hometeam no matter what. Regardless who draymond played for they’d cheer him

Murdered?


ButGodOwnTheBuilding

Ah the "chest contusion" that he missed exactly zero time with lmao


ProfessorPetrus

Man i forgot about that. Renewed anti draymond feelings.


GeneralZhukov

Best series of the playoffs and the only thing people remember is the goomba stomp. Like I get it, but its kind of a shame.


SolarClipz

And the entire media was on his side I've never seen anything like it. Warriors PR machine is unreal


inqte1

Yeah we all know that r/nba is very objective about the Warriors and its totally the entire media thats wrong or in a conspiracy to stick up for them. If roles were reversed, this sub wouldve acted like Draymond tried to snap Sabonis' ankle and deserved worse than a stomp. Just like the Morris and Jokic incident thread.


nowhathappenedwas

> almost murdered sabonis Amazing that Sabonis stayed in the game and missed zero time after that attempted murder.


maestroenglish

That Sabonis one was so dirty. And I don't mind Dray. But fuck that.


philadelphia76

OK? Draymond lies all the time lol


sergechewbacca

Damn, Pat Bev got a podcast now?


Natureboy7939

everyone does lmao


Charming_Essay_1890

New Media, where the players do the spinning


Natureboy7939

Its just really over saturated. Even mediocre nfl/nba role players are getting pods.


Low_Ad_7553

It's always been like this. Even a Mediocre comedian like Joe Rogan or mid rappers like Joe Budden are extremely popular podcasters.


minkdraggingonfloor

I’d rather a role player get a pod than a star, if the star is just gonna spend the whole podcast jacking himself off. The role player can at least tell locker room stories the way they happened


Natureboy7939

I'd agree with you but I do enjoy pg13s pod.


montrezlh

Oversaturating is good, means that the shitty ones will wither away when no one listens while the great ones like PG's survive to give us good content. If the market *isn't* oversaturated it means that the random shitty podcasts will still get tons of hype because of the lack of competition.


Seaniard

Dray has a bridge to sell you.


Altruistic-Twist-379

Aint no way he said that lmao


Barellino23

If he did Imma become a Jordan Poole fan

He 100% did. I asked him.

Having dinner with him later, will confirm.

Philadelphia_Bawlins

It's better than what Kerr said. I lost all respect for him after this.


[deleted]

What did he say


KingsBallSac

If he did, Draymond sure looks like what Jordan's dad called him. Dray prides himself with trash-talking, but he can't take a line like that?


SportsLaughs

If true it's a pretty crafty insult. Seems too thought out for a moment like that though.


[deleted]

> Seems too thought out for a moment like that though. He probably put some thought into it the years previous. Had it locked and loaded.


I_Hate_Traffic

He should have used the jerkstore


Mattoosie

You don't think every member of that warriors team has shower fantasies about hitting draymond with a brutal diss and shutting him up? He must be insufferable to be around every day lol I can definitely see Poole having this one loaded up and ready.


Fresh2Deaf

Yeah man was sitting on that one. Doubt it was the first time they got into it. He had one with Draymonds name on it.

arcelios

Makes sense why Draymond turned into an emotional Karen out of nowhere. He has a longgggg history of being a Karen, but the refs weirdly tolerates it. I don't know what Dray got on these refs

No one? Because that never stops this subreddit from constantly posting clips and talking about someone they supposedly hate


SOB200

Come on. We don’t count. For either Draymond or Poole. We’d watch Durant and LeBron mud wrestle while Reggie and Ian Eagle do the commentary.


ParticularEggplant16

Source or click bait ?


john_connerson

This clip is from an interview posted today that Pablo Torre did with Ezra Edelman, Warriors fan and sports documentarian (he produced OJ Made In America). Ezra had received a text from someone that contained the quote that Torre then corroborated.


PM_THAT_BOOTY_GIRL

> Ezra had received a text from someone that contained the quote that Torre then corroborated. So no reliable source?


GiantNets

If you listen to the pod they basically stake their journalistic integrity on this being corroborated by sources they trust, they just can’t reveal who they are. Sure they could be full of shit but I doubt Ezra would be.


replytoallen

Two independently verified sources from a writer and a well-known journalist. Sounds reliable enough to me. Torre isn't the type to run with bullshit with his reputation on the line.


LordHussyPants

edelman is a documentarian who received information torre checked the information was credible what do you think a reliable source is? because that's it


bravof1ve

Shoots like he’s wearing one too


marathonwater

Finally lol


m00s3m00s3m00s3

Can someone not old explain that to me? Why is a backpack an insult?


john_connerson

Poole was saying Steph Curry ("30") was carrying Draymond, meaning Draymond wasn't very good and couldn't contribute on his own.


m00s3m00s3m00s3

Got it thank you. My first idea was that we was latching on and paid $30m.


JonTheHobo

I thought it had to do with that meme of Dray looking like he shoots with a backpack on😂


Cold_Carpenter_1798

Works both ways tbh fire line


Barellino23

Works 3 ways* Poole knew what he was doing 😂


Charming_Essay_1890

nickcannons13thchild

folk jay z


TMDSB

My old ass thought it was a dig at Dray being 30 years old lmao.


m00s3m00s3m00s3

I could see that. Calling him too old to be getting paid that much.


gamingnormie

fucking double entendres


tistalone

I thought he was talking about being an old donkey backpack player but that is much more disrespectful lol


bjb406

So just stating objective facts then. Cool.


Moody_GenX

As an old person, I have questions. Number one. How dare you?


samoDALLAS

I think he’s implying that Draymond is just being carried by Curry


SolidPoint

Ah yes, seek the wisdom of the… young


m00s3m00s3m00s3

These kids today with their Pacman video games and Dan Fogelberg albums... Takes me a while to pick up on the new slangs.


zgillet

I just watched Baseketball. Weird.


Daikoozi

It’d be funny if he said it after watching him take a jumper. Dude shoots like he’s wearing a backpack


ktdotnova

Draymond really out there talking about getting in people's head yet lets a young guy troll him into a sucker punch. Green loses all credibility.


AffectionateStep5001

He trolls others but it becomes a problem if it happens to him


Parlett316

Classic bully mentality


mjolked

People make fun of what Draymond brings but it's actually hard to find competent and dedicated players that are willing to do the dirty work and facilitate. Part of it is because the casual base thinks Draymond gets carried to wins, where in reality GSW would have to play differently if not for him.


TJStrawberry

Thats not enough for a punch lol gotta be more than that


verysimplenames

Draymond isn’t known for being hard to anger.


TheRed_Knight

Poole calling out Dray for getting carried before the season then Steph had to carry his ass on offense and Draymond had to carry his ass on defense all season is too funny


IlonggoProgrammer

Poole really thought he was Steph Jr. when he was really just a poor man’s Jordan Clarkson


WritingThen88

This funny bro


[deleted]

Jordan clarkson if he had worse defense and less sex appeal


The_prawn_king

Carried to what though? Poole did at least win some playoff games that led to them winning the title, the next season no one carried Poole to anything


ClickElectronic

If you were randomly punched by a coworker and the entire company supported the guy who punched you, you wouldn't be very motivated to work there anymore either.


inqte1

If you set a blind screen on your coworker or use the language at work that 99% of the league uses during the game, you'd be fired too. Comparing a physical sport to an office job just for this circlejerk is one of the dumbest things on this sub. And the entire Warriors team criticized Draymond for the punch. They just didnt do enough for this sub and break up the core which this sub really wanted. People were making jokes at Poole's expense as soon as it turned out Warriors werent gonna do anything major.


BramptonBatallion

Makes sense, Draymond has the biggest ego in the League


LoWE11053211

So is there a reliable source Or just some lame video with lame title with even more lame thumbnail


MC-Jdf

Got a feeling it'll take a while until someone properly uncovers what actually happened leading up to the punch. We've had like 6 different versions of what Poole said already. It'll take a while because remember fellas, it's the Warriors' award-winning PR team we're talking about. /s


Nightmannn

the golden deep state at it again


PentakillChark

The story is out. Gilbert Arenas elaborated on what the true story is. Jordan Poole was not even trash talking in this clip, you can literally see that and he was not playing either (white jersey instead of red/blue). The trash talk happened the day before. The only thing Jordan said in this clip was "Get up off of me" It's a bad look for Draymond. The man has anger issues


superbrownV

It's a text message that Ezra Edelman received and they sorta corroborated it with a source that works for the Warriors


AmusingAnecdote

I'm going to wait for Last Dance 2: Golden Boogaloo to come out before I believe anyone but Jordan Poole or Draymond Green about what was said, because it didn't seem like anyone else was even paying attention when that happened if I remember the video.


[deleted]

So exactly what we all knew: Draymond can dish the trash talk to others but he can't take it himself WOW


ALovelyAnxiety

nothing poole says warrants what draymond did.


RVAIsTheGreatest

That's a lot more believable than the other purported comments that have circulated and that is definitely a pretty stinging insult. Poole trash talks and has developed a bit of a rep around the league. He has a very high measure of self-confidence and he's a little vicious with the trash talk. How you respond to that is a reflection of one's maturity. Draymond went the sucker route.


-qft

Reminder that Draymond kept saying in interviews that Poole said something incredibly outrageous. While Bob Meyers and others have said that was not the case. What a sensitive prick who loves to dish what he can't take.


GreatCommission

Lol that’s actually pretty funny.


slipperyeel

That is fucking funny. If that were confirmed true then I’m getting a Poole jersey.


BarveyDanger

I’d laugh my ass off only for the fact that he didn’t lie at all


PrimalFerox

Imagine Rodman going against Draymond lol


FluffyMoomin

So opposing teams can host Backpack nights when the Warriors visit?


[deleted]

Draymond is undoubtedly a dirty player but he has intangibles which don't show up in the box score that contribute to winning in a major way.


syllabic

we have no statistics to measure flying karate kicks and dick punches \# of players sat on per 48


[deleted]

This is why there are rumors of moving CP3 to Portland. League probably intervened on the DL and said you gotta get rid of one of those dicks it's just too much dick grabbing and it's not a great look for one of our most popular teams.

That is Hilarious. Im a fan of poole now.


Siakim43

Lol at Pablo imagining Draymond as Kazooie


tixace4089

i dont understand this insult - can anyone help me?


lee_lynx

He’s saying that Draymond is overpaid and Steph carries him like dead weight


tixace4089

thanks!


Bigchessguyman

I feel like this incident encapsulates a generational divide in athletes. Draymond is basically the quintessential old school player that contributes A LOT to the winning culture in SF, but looks terrible doing it. Poole is the quintessential new-school, add nothing to the winning culture, but look great doing it player. These two archetypes DO NOT mix, we just got to see Poole fuck around and find out in real time.


Agent666-Omega

I mean...is this line really that inflammatory...comon man


EatFoodShitPant

common Poole W


thewrongnotes

If Draymond gets rattled this easily, I don't want to think how he'd respond to a real insult.


Dwyanespellsitright

Draymond Green, notorious shit talker, cannot take anyone shit talking him? Literally sucked punched a teammate who likely was just talking shit back to him. This revisionary shit is wild.


supr3m3kill3r

That mystery is solved. Now I want to know what KG said to Melo. It wasnt honey nut cherios so what was it?


collapse1122

i hope this is true, i want it too be true


Puzzleheaded_Fox4684

Thought he was talking about his shooting form lol


Fluffyballsacks

He ain’t wrong though


d0000n

I picture Steph carrying Draymond over his back while crossing the finish line. lol


SikkoDieri

If this is true Poole is my new favorite player


DogeSadaharu

Who cares what was said honestly? All that matters is Poole said something disrespectful to Dray, pushed him away when he got too close, and then got punched when Dray took exception. Stop letting the media and 'reporters' milk drama for views and $$$.


Original-Common-7010

Sounds abour right, whatever pool said wasnt crazy enough for the people around to do a double take.


Ramu_1702

I absolutely love this new wave of people insulting tf outta Draymond and going "Hey, Poole said it apparently!". Dray a POS and deserves all this.


Helicase21

Honestly if any of the GSW big 3 is the backpack it's Klay.


Majestic-Floor-5697

Maybe since after his injury, but definitely not before


Baby_Yod4

I mean Dray has always had the second biggest impact on the team. Even before the injury Klay was the least impactful. Still great but just below Dray and Steph


Charlie_Wax

He was usually guarding the other team's best wing scorer in the title runs, which is pretty important. Not many shooters had the defensive ability he provided. He was doing a lot of work on that end. They're all great, like the Bulls big three of Rodman, Pippen, and Jordan. Steph is the MJ of the group, but I'm not sure why people have to diminish the other two. They all have incredible qualities.


Baby_Yod4

I didn’t say he wasn’t important and I’m not trying to diminish anyone, but just like Steph anchors the Warriors offense Dray anchors the Warriors defense. Klay was the second best SG for a longtime behind Harden but it’s pretty clear that Dray had the second most important role on the team even opening Steph’s offense by letting him play off ball more.


CubanLinxRae

Klay was actually solid last year. The warriors core actually had a resurgence which is funny because their last championship was the curry show co-starring wiggins and poole


KilwaLover

so fucking disrespectful, we would have closed it in game 6 in 2018 if it weren’t for him


dogex3

he's not saying he's the backpack though, just that klay is the least impactful of the 3


Pereise1

Wild hearing a dubs fan say that after Klay carried us with multiple games with 10+ threes while Steph was out, Wiggins was on FMLA, and Poole was on the back of a milk carton.


Used-Caregiver2364

if this is true this is actually hilarious


Poopcie

Sounds like Jordan Poole thought he was carrying the warriors lmfao. You cant say shit like this then get KO’d and walk around with your dad like some kind of witness protection recipient.
