Source: Apparently Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole before the season because Jordan Poole wasn’t listening to, and was being disrespectful to Steve Kerr. He said there is more involved than that but that that’s the immediate reason Draymond responded the way he did.

1. And the flood gates are open…..

2. Seems far fetched personally. Perhaps that might have started a fight Draymond was itching for.

3. Draymond pretending he’s the good guy in a story where he sucker punched a teammate is peak draymond lmao

4. 1 year and this is the best excuse you can come up with? This excuse doesnt deserve a punch to the face.

5. I mean this could be real AND Draymond still shouldn’t have punched JP. A good talk would have been enough, no punches needed to be thrown.

6. Sees teammate being immature -> immediately does the mature thing of punching him in the face.

   You’re a grown ass man with kids – JP is practically a college student. Come on!

7. The punch was full of pent-up anger. Plus, draymond ran KD out of town when his own extension was in talks. Same shit happened again. Draymond is a repeat offender.

8. Well, Draymond was wrong for punching him. But if true, this doesn’t make Poole look good either especially after his regression this season and complaining about his opportunities, etc.

9. Not going to believe anything until either one of them involved comes out and says something

10. Who is this dude?

11. Source: Trust me

    *- random Youtuber trying to get clicks*

    Was Kerr even anywhere near the practice court when that happened, to be “disrespected” or blown off by Poole?

12. X—Doubt

13. I dont give a shir bout that ,you dont punch a dude like that

14. Ryan Hensley is not a source. He’s a Twitter blogger

15. Doubt he’d get paid if he was being that disrespectful to Kerr. At least I’d like to think so.

16. Oh fuck Ryan said it.

    Shut down Chase immediately.

17. Draymond falcon punched his teammate and then produced a TNT documentary about it on opening night. He is in the complete wrong

18. Honestly who cares. It’s been a year since a dude punched another dude. I’m just here to watch them play.

19. Poole disrespecting Kerr before he got paid seems pretty risky, I don’t know if that adds up

20. Winning the title last year was the worst thing that could have happened to Jordan Poole from a player development standpoint

    Made him believe he was a superstar and clearly did not work to improve his game in the offseason despite being handed a nice contract

    He’s totally lost any chip on his shoulder from being a late draft pick

21. Poole talks the talk. When dealing with media, the times he’s willing to participate, he’s been a consummate professional. Never fueling the flames in interviews, and giving Curry-like PC responses when it comes to the team.

    ​

    On the court and bench… this dude was about himself 95% of the time. Standing up right playing ole defense. ZERO effort, like a disrespectful lack of effort to show no fight and mental concentration per play. I used to think Ja was all about the Instagram highlights in his game, with his flashy playstyle, but actually he might be significantly more composed of a player than Poole. JP might honestly be the definition of a social media hooper, exerting energy only in the movements that don’t get clipped out of a post/story. Like win the fucking game brother what are you doing

    ​

    He’s ready to go…somewhere else

22. Steve Kerr does not need a goon to beat up players that disrespect him. This may very well be true, but it no way justifies what Draymond did.

23. This doesn’t make sense. If Poole was acting this way why did we extend him shortly thereafter?

24. And here we go. Going to be a longgggg offseason.

25. Why am I not surprised

26. Conflict between Kerr and JP explains much.

27. That’s not f****** good enough. Nobody has been more disrespectful to Steve Kerr then Draymond Green. Shouting matches. And even his freaking podcast where he said in the Oklahoma City halftime that if Steve has said one more thing to him he was going to hit him number two he got on his podcast with Kevin Durant and blame Steve and Bob for his f******

28. why are we listening to a random twitter account?

29. Everyone on here is commenting nonsense. You don’t know what went down. Let it rest.

30. JP gets on my nerves, hard. I wish DG would have punched him to the moon.

31. Still shouldn’t have punched him. I’m so torn /always been torn with Draymond. Who else has their tinfoil hat on and thought when the incident happened, that it would set the tone for the season and we wouldn’t repeat ?
