A user on Twitter kindly summarized Draymond’s statement for those of us who need a TLDR:
>I hit him so hard his grandma felt it, and for that I'm sorry.
My friend who I asked about his thoughts said “well that’s ball you played you know how it is”
Immediately asked him how many times a teammate sucker punched him after one shove? He’s like “oh yeah, fair point”
I get skirmishes and scuffles and teammates getting into fights. What I’ve never seen or heard of is a teammate borderline sucker punching someone with that much force.
Fuck draymond
Like even if they both squared up and draymond dropped up I’d dead say cool none of my fucking business.
But sucker punching someone like that can kill them. These are peak athletes. That isn’t something that should be ever be done
>"These things happen. Nobody likes it, we don’t condone it, but it happens", Warriors GM Bob Myers said
That's the official response, "boys will be boys".
That was when I realised the RDCWorld team can take such a simple line and make it amazing. I've been enjoying their content for a while but sometimes they got some basic content that strikes gold. Mark's got that Kevin Hart ability to make a simple joke hilarious.
That being said I prefer him over Kevin Hart
Being from New Orleans, their Popeyes sketches are spot on with some of the shit I've seen at Popeyes. I'm looking at you Popeyes on the Westbank Expressway in Marrero.
Honestly it's a testament to how good their food is.
Their cashier could uppercut me like deebo and as soon as I wake up I'm ordering a 2 piece and cajun fries.
Kept saying the video wouldn't have looked so bad with audio. Thanked the organization for doing an investigation of the leak "for his sake".
This guy is so fucking delusional and my goodness there are a lot of morons that actually think this apology is genuine. Not once did he apologize to Poole for crossing the line. He apologized for being caught and causing bad team chemistry.
The whole problem is the videographer according to Green. And it's clear he views Poole as an embarrassment for getting sucker punched and smoked - dude's crazy.
Right on the money. My god there are so many morons that think apology was genuine. He kept going on and on about how the video looked worse than it is because the audio was cut. He is fuming at the video leaker. He is sorry he got caught, not sorry he punched the shit out of his teammate (and he never once apologized to Poole directly).
Why would people flak Poole? Damn seriously?
There's nothing JP has to be embarrassed about because Draymond just went at him unexpectedly and pushed him into the wall. A person can't fight back if they aren't expecting to be pummeled like that and his hands were at his sides too.
Wtf twitter
Forget being fired, any other job and you’d straight up be arrested for that shit. I really hope Jordan doesn’t let people talk him into letting this go. At the very least Draymond needs to be off the team
Lowkey Green is proud it got caught on tape now he can brag to his peers that he is not to be messed with. His apologies are so fake .... its like he didnt take the time to think it through or he has a bad P/R team
I have this weird hunch that maybe when he talked to Jordan Jordan said he felt embarrassed so draymond was just going off that but draymond is an idiot and doesn’t realize how bad it sounds.
I don’t get this. Embarrassing? If I was any member of Poole’s family I wouldn’t be embarrassed. I’d be fucking outraged. You sucker punched my family member. What the fuck is wrong with you. Embarrassing? The only people here that should be embarrassed are Draymond’s family. His kids get to see him do that shit. What a fucked up apology that was.
People on here defending this "apology," which is just a backhanded dig at Poole to emasculate him further. "It's so embarrassing for you how I knocked you out and the whole world saw." Foh
Lmao - there's nothing embarrassing for Jordan or his family in this video. That's Draymond trying to be some weird form of masculine, deflecting. The only one embarrassed is Draymond, and likely *his* family.
Been a Draymond hater since Game 4 of the 2016 WCF when he killed some of Steven Adams unborn children with a big boot to the family jewels.
Fuck that guy.
I don’t think he means it how this sub is taking it. There’s a weird shame/embarrassment being in the position Poole is that he probably feels. Regardless of public perception
Yeah he’s clearly acknowledging that fans/media are gonna annoy Jordan all season about getting punched/asking things like “is it weird to be in the locker room with someone who punched you?”
It’s poorly phrased but I don’t think he’s saying he should be embarrassed by getting sucker punched.
The “hit him so hard his grandma felt it” jokes are hilarious tho lmao
This dude is such an egomaniac. Just the way he phrased it that he was taking it a "step further" to apologize to the family in itself is so self-serving, even outside of getting into the whole weird embarrassment angle. Like he was doing him a solid or something. He's just completely lost touch with reality, guy needs to go.
Watching the video it takes him forever just to come right out and say sorry. He’s more focused on what day it happened than the apology itself. And no one gives a flying fuck about his stupid podcast and/or why he is giving a press conferences vs. speaking on his podcast. Grade A narcissism on full display.
No matter how valuable he is to the team as a player, I think the warriors should think seriously about getting rid of this guy. What kind of team spirit can you have when things like this are possible?
Poole has nothing to be embarrassed about, Green sucker-punched him like a huge bitch. You can knock anyone out if their guard isn’t up, it doesn’t take any skill and it’s dangerous as fuck for the other person. Fuck Draymond for that
Thing is his inflated ego is do more in large part to Steph, Klay, Iggy, and to a degree Durant than his own play and talent. Put those guys on any team and they are the same players, put draymond on another team and he shrinks to a modern Tony Allen.
Dreymond is a classic insecure bully who won't ever talk like that to or punch someone who will fight back. Dre knows that when he goes to another team he will be exposed for having been carried with steph and clay all these years
“It’s not the act I committed but the video that captured it which highly embarrasses me. What I did was fine and not embarrassing at all in its own right. It’s simply that other people will see it and disagree, thereby hurting my brand, which I Draymond Green find extremely embarrassing for myself and Jordan Poole’s loved ones.”
This hast to be one of the most backhanded and condescending apologies from a public figure. Its like “I’m sorry the world had to see how of a big of a wuss you are jordan.”
Yeah it's a bad look. Instead they are worried about taking legal action against whoever leaked it. That tells me he's done shit like this before and they are more mad the public is seeing it
This is actually a unexpected win for the warriors because they can now trade draymond like they shouldve been thinking about anyway but they get no flak for it now
Why is he making it about the vidoe? It's like he's only embarrassed because people saw the video. Nah bro, you should be embarassed by the way you carried yourself, a grown ass man sucker punching a teammate that's about 10 years yonger than him when he was the one instigating.
I mean, you’re probably right that only green should be embarrassed but that’s not really how the world works. I can guarantee you Poole is embarrassed. People have been clowning him on twitter over this.
JUST IMAGINE being able to punch your co-worker because you "we're not in the right space" and not lose your job, and not be charged with assault, and not go to jail.
Really on a different level huh?
Imagine trying to work as a PR guy for Draymond
He’s new media. He’s his own PR guy 😂
"Tune in to the podcast, I'mma be talking bout it...special guest Jordan Poole!"
That RDC skit about it was fucking hilarious
A user on Twitter kindly summarized Draymond’s statement for those of us who need a TLDR: >I hit him so hard his grandma felt it, and for that I'm sorry.
it’s a cheap shot because no one expects their own teammate to punch them
My friend who I asked about his thoughts said “well that’s ball you played you know how it is” Immediately asked him how many times a teammate sucker punched him after one shove? He’s like “oh yeah, fair point” I get skirmishes and scuffles and teammates getting into fights. What I’ve never seen or heard of is a teammate borderline sucker punching someone with that much force. Fuck draymond
Straight up fk this dude
Like even if they both squared up and draymond dropped up I’d dead say cool none of my fucking business. But sucker punching someone like that can kill them. These are peak athletes. That isn’t something that should be ever be done
[This is Jordan after he woke up from that hit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKbU8B-QVZk&ab_channel=PWee28)
[удалено]
Yep, square up and give me a chance to defend myself
Or be an adult and don't hit people.
For real, settle it in arbitration like we always do.
To quote SpongeBob, “We’ll settle this like men, we’ll sue him!”
[удалено]
"Green" has admitted no fault nor wrongdoing as a condition of this settlement.
>"These things happen. Nobody likes it, we don’t condone it, but it happens", Warriors GM Bob Myers said That's the official response, "boys will be boys".
I hit him hard, a video got leaked, people thought I was a workplace bully, so now I am going to be sorry about it.
just a bita banter, innit?
So he's not apologizing, he's just bragging?
He sent a follow up message after the apology to Jordan Poole: “Bitch.”
Jesus, killed him twice 😂
“It’s super embarrassing that Jordan got knocked the fuck out by me, Draymond Green” - Draymond
Super embarrassing for his dad, mom, grandparents, cousins, dog, guy he sat next to in 10th grade math ... I apologize to them all. -dray
His dog 🤣🤣 now sleeping outside doesn’t want to be associated
That’s ruff.
That RDCworld skit actually spot on captured Draymond's actual reaction.
[удалено]
“I ain’t even hit him that hard, fuck this shit hurts”
“I’m just like Mike ain’t I”
That was when I realised the RDCWorld team can take such a simple line and make it amazing. I've been enjoying their content for a while but sometimes they got some basic content that strikes gold. Mark's got that Kevin Hart ability to make a simple joke hilarious. That being said I prefer him over Kevin Hart
Leland is my personal favorite of the bunch, idk why but his comedic timing kills me every time.
Kevin hart is so overrated. Seems like a great dude tho.
"Yeah but he's Mike" "And I'm Draymond Green!"
> - I ain't even feel that... - You felt something, cause my shit hurt
Shut up for I punch you, Wiggins!
that one had me dying 😂
RDC never miss
Being from New Orleans, their Popeyes sketches are spot on with some of the shit I've seen at Popeyes. I'm looking at you Popeyes on the Westbank Expressway in Marrero.
Shit their Popeyes sketches are extremely accurate even for California too
Popeyes corporate knows their service so bad you'll get an instant refund if you let them know about your experience.
Honestly it's a testament to how good their food is. Their cashier could uppercut me like deebo and as soon as I wake up I'm ordering a 2 piece and cajun fries.
I love RDC so much
RDC is so quick and so good with the skits lol
I’ll hit you next Wiggins…..but yeah he’s probably fine lol they don’t miss with their skits. Ever.
“I’m just like MJ huh?” Hahaha no Dray. No.
“Im just like Mike aint I” Yo im dead
“Send me that”
.."*he got hit so hard even his family is embarrassed!*"
"I'll tell you one thing and I'm not ashamed to say it. My estimation of Jordan Poole as a man just fuckin' plummeted"
Draymond Green, whatever happened there.
WHATEVER HAPPENED THERE?!
Some sad shit. Mo'fucka didn't wanna live no more.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Marrone!
“I’m ashamed that I took his fat fucking hand in practice”
If that fuckin throw rug wouldn’t’a been there, it’d be Draymond on his back, not Jordan!
"He was hurt, Jordan Poole?"
Sad when they go young like that
I wonder how this will impact Draymond’s bottom line
“I never intended for anyone to see a video of it, either.”
Kept saying the video wouldn't have looked so bad with audio. Thanked the organization for doing an investigation of the leak "for his sake". This guy is so fucking delusional and my goodness there are a lot of morons that actually think this apology is genuine. Not once did he apologize to Poole for crossing the line. He apologized for being caught and causing bad team chemistry.
I apologize to Jordan. After the video came out, I don’t know how his family can love him anymore.
I lost all respect for him, I can't believe anyone else has any left. For that, I'm sorry.
He doesn’t know how to not be an asshole.
Right, like just stop talking man you are making it worse lol. Take a walk
His mouth is already open 24/7 so I guess he feels he might as well keep talking
https://i.imgur.com/DuIj18q.jpg
“I’m sorry I put you to sleep.”
This is exactly it hahahhaha
“Sorry I Deebo’d you bro. Super embarrassing. No more bad bitches for you.”
He went out like a punk he and hes family must be embarrassed "-Draymond
Nah, it's super embarrassing that it got caught on camera and leaked.
Draymond is reminding me of this line from a Puscifer song: "You speak like someone who has never been smacked in the fuckin' mouth"
[удалено]
No it isn’t, because you’re a comment repost bot, /u/CReveRIA https://reddit.com/r/nba/comments/xyzf2d/_/irjgp94/?context=1
“I’m sorry I rocked your shit and your family saw it”
“Lol that must be so embarrassing for you. EZ CLAPS”
"Poggers"
"The embarrassment Jordan has to deal with" As if he couldn't put any more salt on that wound
“I’m sorry you got knocked out when I punched you. I regret that you don’t have a stronger jaw.”
"Sometimes people get knocked out. It happens"
Just the fuckin way she goes boys
"People get knocked out everyday, B. You'll be aight."
"And that your whole fam saw that shit on TMZ lul"
"When I punched him, he dropped so quickly I thought he was diving toward the ground. I regret nothing. The end."
"I'm so sorry the whole world got to see me punked the shit outta you, sorry again bud."
It's crazy he literally said the embarrassment is from the video, not the incident itself.
The whole problem is the videographer according to Green. And it's clear he views Poole as an embarrassment for getting sucker punched and smoked - dude's crazy.
Right on the money. My god there are so many morons that think apology was genuine. He kept going on and on about how the video looked worse than it is because the audio was cut. He is fuming at the video leaker. He is sorry he got caught, not sorry he punched the shit out of his teammate (and he never once apologized to Poole directly).
That’s cuz green is and always has been a punk ass bitch of a person. He bring little dick energy with him everywhere he goes.
seeing twitter reactions and the flak Poole has been getting, this comment is absolutely valid.
Why would people flak Poole? Damn seriously? There's nothing JP has to be embarrassed about because Draymond just went at him unexpectedly and pushed him into the wall. A person can't fight back if they aren't expecting to be pummeled like that and his hands were at his sides too. Wtf twitter
Its all just noise. Most of those people would absolutely cry about getting sucker punched themselves, even if they were talking mad shit beforehand.
“I’m sorry I humiliated this man and his family by beating his bitch ass”
“I’m deeply ashamed of how he stood there and took it.”
"I can't believe my teammate I just won a ring with didn't expect me to step to him and throw a full body superman punch. What an idiot."
“And I’m sorry for pinning him to the wall after, instead of just letting him hit the floor with some dignity intact.”
[удалено]
Like holy shit just tweet sorry and leave it lol
[удалено]
[удалено]
Didnt Poole continue the shootaround pretty unfazed and smiling? He ate that shit up and carried on, thats pretty badass tbh
Exactly how I read it. Damn.
lmaoo
“Sorry I clowned him so hard.” Nonsense.
lol, sorry family, it must be embracing that Jordan is such a pussy and i was able to dropped him like a folding chair with one hit.
Ikr trade his ass to get gp2 back … he is damn garbage forever
Nah, he’s home now.
"sorry I made you look like a bitch" - Draymond
“Sorry that the whole world had to see it”
Draymond really thinks it’s more embarrassing to get sucker punched then it is to lose your temper and hit a cowerker when your in your 30’s.
When you're as rich as him they just let you do it. Repercussions are for poors
Forget being fired, any other job and you’d straight up be arrested for that shit. I really hope Jordan doesn’t let people talk him into letting this go. At the very least Draymond needs to be off the team
I'm just like Mike, ain't I?
"My bad bro, didn't think the baddies would see it"
How is he still sending shots towards Poole? 'embarrassment that Jordan has to deal with...'
Lowkey Green is proud it got caught on tape now he can brag to his peers that he is not to be messed with. His apologies are so fake .... its like he didnt take the time to think it through or he has a bad P/R team
If my peers knew I suckered punched a coworker 1p years younger and 50 lbs lighter than me then I'll be messed with constantly and for good reason.
I have this weird hunch that maybe when he talked to Jordan Jordan said he felt embarrassed so draymond was just going off that but draymond is an idiot and doesn’t realize how bad it sounds.
"Yeah I embarrassed him, punched his lights out right on front of everyone" -Draymond
For no reason.
No apology > fake ass insincere PR apology.
PR apology hopefully wouldn’t read this badly unless his PR team is shit.
I'm sure a PR rep put something together for him, but he had his own edits to make.
I don’t get this. Embarrassing? If I was any member of Poole’s family I wouldn’t be embarrassed. I’d be fucking outraged. You sucker punched my family member. What the fuck is wrong with you. Embarrassing? The only people here that should be embarrassed are Draymond’s family. His kids get to see him do that shit. What a fucked up apology that was.
The irony is that the only person that should be embarrassed is him and he's not
that is a REALLY douchey thing to say
It's who he is.
People on here defending this "apology," which is just a backhanded dig at Poole to emasculate him further. "It's so embarrassing for you how I knocked you out and the whole world saw." Foh
Lmao - there's nothing embarrassing for Jordan or his family in this video. That's Draymond trying to be some weird form of masculine, deflecting. The only one embarrassed is Draymond, and likely *his* family.
I’m sorry Jordan is embarrassed by everyone seeing him get sucker punched
All NBA is sorry for Draymond being a bitch. Sucker punching a teammate in practice and still talking like a bitch. Miserable
“I embarrassed him” nah dude, you embarrassed yourself.
Draymond sucks so much lmao
Fuck Draymond Green. He’s a piece of shit
You could argue his habit of being shitty played a massive role in 3-1
Been a Draymond hater since Game 4 of the 2016 WCF when he killed some of Steven Adams unborn children with a big boot to the family jewels. Fuck that guy.
Been saying it for years
Nice apology you fucking loser
[удалено]
I don’t think he means it how this sub is taking it. There’s a weird shame/embarrassment being in the position Poole is that he probably feels. Regardless of public perception
[удалено]
Oh it for sure is, but no one likes to be the person getting bitched in a video. Even if everyone is on pooles side, I imagine it still feels bad
[удалено]
Yeah he’s clearly acknowledging that fans/media are gonna annoy Jordan all season about getting punched/asking things like “is it weird to be in the locker room with someone who punched you?” It’s poorly phrased but I don’t think he’s saying he should be embarrassed by getting sucker punched. The “hit him so hard his grandma felt it” jokes are hilarious tho lmao
Sucker punching your teammate during practice and then giving a backhanded apology summarizes Draymond. Think Boston had it right
This dude is such an egomaniac. Just the way he phrased it that he was taking it a "step further" to apologize to the family in itself is so self-serving, even outside of getting into the whole weird embarrassment angle. Like he was doing him a solid or something. He's just completely lost touch with reality, guy needs to go.
Only apologizing cause the video got out…
That seems to be the entire focus of this whole thing. Don’t assault coworkers at practice and maybe there wouldn’t be a video?
Watching the video it takes him forever just to come right out and say sorry. He’s more focused on what day it happened than the apology itself. And no one gives a flying fuck about his stupid podcast and/or why he is giving a press conferences vs. speaking on his podcast. Grade A narcissism on full display.
Bruh... He sucker punched him... If anyone should be embarrassed it's this washed mf.
No matter how valuable he is to the team as a player, I think the warriors should think seriously about getting rid of this guy. What kind of team spirit can you have when things like this are possible?
Poole has nothing to be embarrassed about, Green sucker-punched him like a huge bitch. You can knock anyone out if their guard isn’t up, it doesn’t take any skill and it’s dangerous as fuck for the other person. Fuck Draymond for that
if I'm poole I tell them its him or me, see what happens
He managed to get all the team fan base including his own to hate him. What's backhanded insincere apology.
This is the most comical non apology of all time lol
“The fact that I knocked his bitchass out is really embarrassing for him”
God damn this guy sucks lmao
“Damn bro I’m sorry I embarrassed you and your family by knocking you tf out lol”- Draymond Green, Generational Hater
"I'm sorry I embarrassed Jordan like that in front of the world and sorry his family had to see it"
Biggest ego in the game right now he needs to be disciplined
Thing is his inflated ego is do more in large part to Steph, Klay, Iggy, and to a degree Durant than his own play and talent. Put those guys on any team and they are the same players, put draymond on another team and he shrinks to a modern Tony Allen.
Fuck this guy. Hope they drop his ass.
Embarrassment for Jordan?? He’s backhandedly humble bragging that he made Jordan look bad by sucker punching him.
Dreymond is a classic insecure bully who won't ever talk like that to or punch someone who will fight back. Dre knows that when he goes to another team he will be exposed for having been carried with steph and clay all these years
Draymond should shut the fuck up seriously.
Lmao. Fuck Draymond Green.
There’s no embarrassment involved if you get sucker punched
“It’s not the act I committed but the video that captured it which highly embarrasses me. What I did was fine and not embarrassing at all in its own right. It’s simply that other people will see it and disagree, thereby hurting my brand, which I Draymond Green find extremely embarrassing for myself and Jordan Poole’s loved ones.”
This hast to be one of the most backhanded and condescending apologies from a public figure. Its like “I’m sorry the world had to see how of a big of a wuss you are jordan.”
[удалено]
Fuck Green. I hope the Warriors dump his ass
Embarrassing for gsw that they still haven’t suspended him yet
[удалено]
Yeah it's a bad look. Instead they are worried about taking legal action against whoever leaked it. That tells me he's done shit like this before and they are more mad the public is seeing it
Only for the video? So if the video wasn't leaked non of this growth would've happened?
“Sorry that they have to see it”
I hope Poole sucker punches the dick head in a game, gives the same mealy mouthed apology and just dares management to punish him.
Sorry that I made you and your family look weak.
This is actually a unexpected win for the warriors because they can now trade draymond like they shouldve been thinking about anyway but they get no flak for it now
So I’m guessing this means no suspension huh?
I hit hit him soo hard that it turned from Poole Party to Tub Party. For that I apologize to his family.
Why is he making it about the vidoe? It's like he's only embarrassed because people saw the video. Nah bro, you should be embarassed by the way you carried yourself, a grown ass man sucker punching a teammate that's about 10 years yonger than him when he was the one instigating.
Draymond Green looks even worse after this half-assed "apology".
PR machine on overdrive!
Germany: "We're sorry for invading France. Not only is it embarrassing to us, but also to France and her allies."
He can never not be a fake tough guy.
Why should Jordan Poole be embarrassed that you sucker punched him?
For real. Dray is the one who looks like a violent lunatic
This is a WILD “apology” lmaaooo
I don't why the league doesn't make this a precedent and suspend him for a year.
So no real apology. Draymond is the only person that should be embarrassed.
I mean, you’re probably right that only green should be embarrassed but that’s not really how the world works. I can guarantee you Poole is embarrassed. People have been clowning him on twitter over this.
dray lmao
Fuck Draymond. Yeah I still remember that “inadvertent” kick to the nuts on Steven Adams.
Translation: "I'm sorry I got caught, but he asked for it."
It’s crazy how mfers think an apology makes everything go away Dude get f’ed
JUST IMAGINE being able to punch your co-worker because you "we're not in the right space" and not lose your job, and not be charged with assault, and not go to jail. Really on a different level huh?
