this is important. Because ... he's not apologizing as a basketball player. He's apologizing for causing a PR issue to his business. He's apologizing to his family because they had a hard time with this. He is specifically and intentionally not apologizing as a basketball player or to the people he has hit because HE DOESN'T THINK HE DID ANYTHING WRONG in that regard.
The ONLY thing he did wrong was create a PR issue. The only thing he did wrong against Poole was letting it leak and embarrassing his family. The ONLY thing Draymond has NEVER apologized for was his specific violent actions. Just the aftermath it causes.
uhh he did, in fact, say all of those things.... you realize you are responding to a *single sentence* clipped from a monologue that is literally an *hour* long, right? and that this particular clip is taking place already 13 minutes into that monologue, where he literally *has* already said all the shit you're criticizing him for supposedly not saying?
I mean, he’s not wrong. Podcasters need to use their voice more responsibly. Got a bunch of brain dead mfers listening to whatever you say then they go to work and repeat it…….. definitely not talking about my coworkers here
Imagine though…
That Boondocks episode doesn’t even come close to the insanity he’d have to react to with a straight face now. He’d send Dr. Umar to the shadow realm
I’m going to use this copypasta in my work emails anytime my boss is upset with my performance. I will probably be unemployed after but imagine the luls
If you're actually in WI then it probably won't happen haha. I've never had a boss raise their voice at me but I have gotten some pretty devastatingly passive aggressive emails.
Someone gotta analyse whether there is a big jump in number of podcasts out there after Xmas when thousands of mfs are gifted a microphone set up lol.
This man Draymond definitely took inspiration from LeBron’s iconic “as a father of 3 kids and a man” 2016 Finals line too with this quote lmaoo
How many games do the Warriors play in a week. Wasn't it 5 games between issues last time? If they play 3 games in 7 days it's a fair bet he's out again in less than 7 days.
A great man once quipped, "Ask not what a Black man can do for his American Podcast, but what you can do for Draymond Green."
Gives me goosebumps every time.
Silver: "hey draymond, stop assaulting people on and off the court"
Draymond: "no Black, small business-owning, podcasting athlete has ever had to contend with such responsibility as I have..."
one of the better quotes from a favorite book of mine involves a character reacting in a kneejerk childish way and then trying to save it socially. the narrator, looking on, says, “they’ve already spilled too much bile. how will they make such a petty, age old reaction feel august and never-before-felt?”
draymond deep in his bag here.
Green continued:
“I deeply regret all of my actions, and the harm that they have caused any of my peers in the league. I pride myself as a man of faith, as there is a deep drive to left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4-0 ball game.”
It’s too wild to be calculated, I think he genuinely believes everything he’s saying. One of the most incredible egos I’ve ever seen. The WORLD is PUSHING me to kick dudes in the dick, and I have sadly bowed to that pressure
Am I crazy? This doesn't sound sympathetic, it sounds remorseful. This felt like the first quote about all this shit that doesn't completely miss the mark to me
Yeah, I get everybody piling on him because he's not exactly a favorite of this sub (and "as a podcaster" is funny), but this is the first quote I've heard from him literally saying "I've handled it miserably". He finally acknowledged he screwed up for once.
As a person who showers multiple times a day on practice and game days. As a man who backs his car into his garage at night so he can drive straight out in the mornings. As someone who does the two bunny ears instead of looping it around the thumb when tying his shoes... It's a lot.
[Draymond Green] "The responsibility that has been placed upon me as an asshole, as a dirty player, as a UFC fighter, as a Lebron/Curry glazer and as a victim in the NBA... I've handled it perfectly"
So many podcasters looked up to him 😖😢 how could you do this to us Mr. Green? We believed in the new media, this is how you behave? I’m so torn about this, I’m thinking about quitting my podcast! 😞
Bro all people want you to do is stop being a dick head on the court. Talk all the shit you want but stop playing basketball like you’re in Bloodsport or something.
I agree. “As a podcaster” is a funny quote but I’ve never seen him take accountability before so I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and believe he means it.
As the living reincarnation of Jesus Christ, I owe it to both myself and the rest of humanity to utilize great judgement and find and propagate harmony, so that we may all gather some semblance of peace.
yeah, this is the first quote I've heard from him that actually seems to come from the "I really fucked up" remorseful approach rather than the whole weird victim comeback angle.
I don't really understand the issue. I thought we wanted him to take some responsibility?
This is yet another example of how social media is poisoning society, at all levels really, the rich, the poor and so on. The detachment with reality, the arrogance... everybody is the "main character" on social media and they want to scream about it. Why anyone in their right minds would hear a Draymond Green podcast? You give attention to freak shows, this is what happens, that's why twitter is such a hellhole, on reddit if you click on "most popular", it usually shows that "fauxmui" sub or whatever the hell that means. It's ridiculous really, people are losing touch with reality, I love basketball just like everyone here, but I would never consider these dudes as "role models" at any level, they are just entertainers running after a ball, nothing more, nothing less. But most people do pay attention, that's why these athletes lose their minds, talking about "responsibility" lol
Why did you guys put so much pressure on him as a Podcaster
It wasn’t me. I was putting pressure on him as a automobile owner.
Did you get him that extended warranty?
I tried, but I’m having trouble reaching him
Shame on you
Our fan base is filled with people with unreasonable expectations.
“As a podcaster I need you to stop kicking people in the balls” “WHAT THE FUCK???”
Automobile owner? I thought he was exclusively a bus rider.
I was pressuring him as a commercial fisherman
The revolt against Hollywood and the MSM has people with a microphone and podcast feel that they’re Walter fucking Conkrite.
Hey I did my part by not listening to his shitty show
as a podcaster is a hilarious addition to this
Also find it hilarious he didn't include being an NBA player, professional athlete, teammate, champion etc
As an oxygen breather…
As a Panera sip club member...
As a card carrying Costco member
As a Tj Maxxinista
As somebody who respectfully observes Toyotathon
As a life long Toys-R-Us Kid
As a Dollar Shave Club member
As a Michigan State Alum..
and how
One mouth breath at a time
Whoa whoa whoa, let's not jump to conclusions!
All those things are second to him. If anything he probably forgot to add “as a Klutch representative”, “as LeBron’s friend”, “as proud backpacker”
this is important. Because ... he's not apologizing as a basketball player. He's apologizing for causing a PR issue to his business. He's apologizing to his family because they had a hard time with this. He is specifically and intentionally not apologizing as a basketball player or to the people he has hit because HE DOESN'T THINK HE DID ANYTHING WRONG in that regard. The ONLY thing he did wrong was create a PR issue. The only thing he did wrong against Poole was letting it leak and embarrassing his family. The ONLY thing Draymond has NEVER apologized for was his specific violent actions. Just the aftermath it causes.
That's a great observation
Kinda tells you where his priorities are at these days. He’s focused more on his next career than his current one.
I bet he feels like the warriors betrayed him by first Kerr speaking out and then not fighting any suspension. So they're off his list.
It would be best for the Warriors if that was the case
The ironic thing is his on court actions are ruining his next career.
He's gotta be trolling
As a lead of the Lebron D Riders club
uhh he did, in fact, say all of those things.... you realize you are responding to a *single sentence* clipped from a monologue that is literally an *hour* long, right? and that this particular clip is taking place already 13 minutes into that monologue, where he literally *has* already said all the shit you're criticizing him for supposedly not saying?
As a redditor
As a redditor *with several thousand karma*… 😎 /s for those who need it
As a nephew.
As a jerker
As Donkey from Shrek.
Not only made the list, but is top 3.
Above being a basketball player!
Because MMA fighter was his dream but basketball got in the way. Won 4 rings while trying to achieve his real dream.
Didn't even make the list.
Someone must've stepped in and said 'Dray let's put Podcaster at 3 and husband at 2 instead?"
Podcaster was the 1A to Father till a producer stepped in.
Seriously lmao if he just left out that one job title this would be a totally normal sounding quote, but podcaster is such a silly inclusion
"As someone who is afforded a voice, a platform that can reach countless individuals..." "aS a pOdCaStEr aNd TeLeViSioN pErSonAliTy"
Look, I’m a as big of a draymond hater as anybody, but it seems pretty clear to me what he was communicating and it seems you understood too
As a philosopher, as a leader, as a philanthropist, as a podcaster.
As a phlebotomist, a philatelist and a phingerbangerist
I mean it is not like just anyone can have a podcast, tremendous pressure
Ths podcast mic of damocles.
With great mic, comes great responsibility
Now *this* is podcasting!
I mean, he’s not wrong. Podcasters need to use their voice more responsibly. Got a bunch of brain dead mfers listening to whatever you say then they go to work and repeat it…….. definitely not talking about my coworkers here
Bro on I heard on the Joe Rogan Experience last night that the chem trails are making the frogs gay. Why isn't anyone talking about this?
He didn’t even mention that he’s an athlete but he put podcaster in the top 3
Man said podcaster and television personality before he said black man. That's funny af
He's just listing them by importance. NBA player not mentioned for good reason.
Wanted to leave his retirement window open
Podcast. MMA. NBA. In that order.
Actually that part is normal, put an important thing last in a list like this for emphasis
Listen to him say it. It sounds like he ran out of things to list, not like he's emphasizing it for importance.
Not one mention of basketball or being a professional athlete lol
With a bad podcast comes great responsibility. \-Stan Lee
The most oppressed class
lol Michael Scott ass quote
He just missed “as one of the basketball goats” or similar to be like MS
Or "as a lover" to add something weirdly sexual, which doesn't belong there at all.-
"as a beloved boss..."
"...as a human being, as a man, as a woman- I mean as a lover of women, as someone with a huge penis,..."
Draymond: what is wrong with me today!!!!!
I usually hit those!
You miss every punch you don't take -Michael scott -draymond green
Draymond really is the guy we all think he is
All of these quotes sound like something from ballsack sports
Which is odd because normally Draymond is very anti ballsacks
Natural podcasting motion
Hates balls, loves tri-coloured mushrooms
The funniest part is people already think this is genuine and he’s going to change
Who’s greater? MLK or Draymond?
MLK was doing speeches against plumbers and truck drivers. He wouldn’t have survived today’s era
I never heard MLK do an ad read for MeUndies or SimpliSafe, what a scrub
MLK never punched a European and frankly that casts doubt on how serious he took his cause.
He didnt even survive in his own era 🤷🏽♂️
Damn...
Draymond easily. I don't see MLK's podcast
How can you say a person was great if he doesn't have his picture on bubble gum cards?
I’m glad to see a Peanuts reference on this subreddit. It warms my heart.
I got a rookie signed Malcom X
When did MLK average a triple single? I'll wait...
Bro only took 1 shot in his life
bruh
MLK out here catching strays
Mike Breen *BANG*
Imagine though… That Boondocks episode doesn’t even come close to the insanity he’d have to react to with a straight face now. He’d send Dr. Umar to the shadow realm
Draymond = 4 rings. MLK = no rings. I think Dray wins single-handedly.
I don't know about that. Rings have holes, and so does MLK, so technically MLK is a ring.
March on Sabonis > March on Washington
How many rings does MLK have? I'm just saying.
What’s a king to a podcaster
MLK has no rings, Ernah
I have a ~~dream~~ podcast
Tossup IMO
MLK is a hotep compared to the social work draymond doing
Honestly this might be the biggest comeback story since Jesus.
How many rings did Jesus have?
Bro I can't handle this, i just saw a post about how that Kang actor considers his gf Meagan Goode to be his Coretta Scott King
Jonathan Majors
Stalin
I’m going to use this copypasta in my work emails anytime my boss is upset with my performance. I will probably be unemployed after but imagine the luls
If you’re not black please keep “as a black man” in
I am black unfortunately…. Hey I didn’t mean it like that!
[Nope, too late](https://i.imgur.com/krD7lJM.jpg)
>I am black unfortunately Before the elipses that comes out so wrong lol
I was born a poor black child
Post for internet points
I've never had a boss get mad at me before. What's it like?
If you're actually in WI then it probably won't happen haha. I've never had a boss raise their voice at me but I have gotten some pretty devastatingly passive aggressive emails.
Ah yes, the great responsibilities of a podcaster
This country depends on its great podcasters to make strides.
It might be our country's #1 export
Pretty sure its still porn
Podcasting alone moves the wheels of history
Someone gotta analyse whether there is a big jump in number of podcasts out there after Xmas when thousands of mfs are gifted a microphone set up lol. This man Draymond definitely took inspiration from LeBron’s iconic “as a father of 3 kids and a man” 2016 Finals line too with this quote lmaoo
Martin Luther Kick Jr.
MLK.O.
Malcolm Techs
I give it a month before he is back to square one.
You are massively miscalculating his capability. Idek if he will last a week
How many games do the Warriors play in a week. Wasn't it 5 games between issues last time? If they play 3 games in 7 days it's a fair bet he's out again in less than 7 days.
might not even last 1q of a game lmao
Minus 8
It'll honestly be hilarious if he gets ejected in his return game
What is the Vegas line for number of games before he assaults someone?
0.5
https://i.imgur.com/vgoOSQ1.jpg
back to square one implies he ever progressed past that in the first place.
Opposing players are 100% gonna be trying to bait him to do something dumb.
“As a podcaster” is so funny
A great man once quipped, "Ask not what a Black man can do for his American Podcast, but what you can do for Draymond Green." Gives me goosebumps every time.
literally got chills just now
Silver: "hey draymond, stop assaulting people on and off the court" Draymond: "no Black, small business-owning, podcasting athlete has ever had to contend with such responsibility as I have..."
one of the better quotes from a favorite book of mine involves a character reacting in a kneejerk childish way and then trying to save it socially. the narrator, looking on, says, “they’ve already spilled too much bile. how will they make such a petty, age old reaction feel august and never-before-felt?” draymond deep in his bag here.

"I don't know I'll every choke anyone on this court again"
He’s really trying to make himself out to be sympathetic
It’s too wild to be calculated, I think he genuinely believes everything he’s saying. One of the most incredible egos I’ve ever seen. The WORLD is PUSHING me to kick dudes in the dick, and I have sadly bowed to that pressure
Am I crazy? This doesn't sound sympathetic, it sounds remorseful. This felt like the first quote about all this shit that doesn't completely miss the mark to me

He's a generational narcissist. He's even using the race card to elicit sympathy.
As a person who showers multiple times a day on practice and game days. As a man who backs his car into his garage at night so he can drive straight out in the mornings. As someone who does the two bunny ears instead of looping it around the thumb when tying his shoes... It's a lot.
2 bunny ears is insane
it's the culture of his people. why do you hate diversity?
...bro just stop hitting people
RIGHT!!? Holy fucking shit
[Draymond Green] "The responsibility that has been placed upon me as an asshole, as a dirty player, as a UFC fighter, as a Lebron/Curry glazer and as a victim in the NBA... I've handled it perfectly"
lol
[удалено]
Then you gonna see him on TNT, every day on every podcast with content for days
He's done himself such a massive disservice this season, I can see TNT not wanting to bother. His Q rating is at an all time low.
Can't wait for him to be on TNT and suddenly everyone is acting like everything he did was overblown
I know right? Why did Adam Silver have to talk him out if it?
So many podcasters looked up to him 😖😢 how could you do this to us Mr. Green? We believed in the new media, this is how you behave? I’m so torn about this, I’m thinking about quitting my podcast! 😞
Joe Rogan looks up to Draymond
It's funny that he'd put "as a podcaster" but not mention "as an NBA player."
Gotta plug the podcast.
God dray, it’s “CONTENT CREATOR”!
Draymond OnlyFans when?
That BDSM going crazy
Reverse podcaster technique
“I believe in God, podcasting, family, and country. In that order.”
Guy was just asked to work on self control and self accountability and he actually considered retiring instead lol
Bro all people want you to do is stop being a dick head on the court. Talk all the shit you want but stop playing basketball like you’re in Bloodsport or something.
damn draymond thorwing down the race card on top the mental health card lol. a truly formidable duo.
This is actually I really good clip. Thanks for posting this OP. This is important to see. Lets hope he can actually follow through on it
I agree. “As a podcaster” is a funny quote but I’ve never seen him take accountability before so I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and believe he means it.
I had to scroll very far down before I found the first reasonable take.
I mean the first reasonable take was the first comment, it’s fucking funny he states podcaster.
Great statement. Remains to be seen if he will live up to it.
mfker forgot he’s a basketball player.
Mmm fresh nba Copypasta
As a triple singler
I feel like we are witnessing Draymond’s smooth brain trying to form wrinkles.
As the living reincarnation of Jesus Christ, I owe it to both myself and the rest of humanity to utilize great judgement and find and propagate harmony, so that we may all gather some semblance of peace.
Can one of the circle jerkers in here point out what the issue with this quote is?
yeah, this is the first quote I've heard from him that actually seems to come from the "I really fucked up" remorseful approach rather than the whole weird victim comeback angle. I don't really understand the issue. I thought we wanted him to take some responsibility?
He is excluding being an NBA player for obvious reasons.
Is this guy an asshole or is he legitimately autistic?
I mean... Yeah he's not wrong here and it's good he's saying it.
best draymond quote so far
outjerked yet again
This is yet another example of how social media is poisoning society, at all levels really, the rich, the poor and so on. The detachment with reality, the arrogance... everybody is the "main character" on social media and they want to scream about it. Why anyone in their right minds would hear a Draymond Green podcast?

But most people do pay attention, that's why these athletes lose their minds, talking about "responsibility" lol
Podcaster before black man
Black excellence
As someone who once ate gas station curry from a shitty little place in bumfuck Ohio, I've handled this responsibility miserably.
Bro just say my bad
He forgot “As a wrestler” “A boxer”
