One thing to remember about the European American debate is that Dirk had already been in the finals once before people truly started expecting a ring. Tatum has also been to the finals now. Jokic hasn't, so it's premature to call for rings before he even gets his foot atop the mountain peak. In my opinion, this debate implies that something is not right with the mvp award, rather than who is expected to win a championship. As for Embiid, he's been a contender for much longer than Jokic at this point with all the different Sixers iterations, and has been closer to the top than Jokic. His inclusion sounds more fair to me, especially looking at how the conferences currently are. With KD and Kyrie in the west, any western team has had their chances lowered, whereas the east is up for grabs.
Great interview Dray
DRAYMOND stop doing podcasts and focus on winning a ring get in the gym and practice your shot playoffs is soon goldenstate needs to wake up
Laurie is awesome. Great role model and humble guy.
And you can’t compare a great guy like Lauri to Dillon Brooks 😝🤪
Draymond if you don’t get your ass off this podcast & go hit the gym y’all wasted Steph 50 point game & you podcasting
What an interesting question at 32 mins
This Dillon Brooks shoutout at the end 😂❤ And Lauri amazing down to earth guy, reminds me of other European greats like Dirk or Joker or Luka, humble guys who are killers on the court!
You could be using this time to develop an unstoppable move.. like skyhook 3 pointer. The Dray-hook.
Draymond is a great host tbh
He said u can’t be Dillon brooks🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please, all I ask of you is to stop getting tech fouls because the team needs you out there, especially on the road.
Lauri!!! Can’t wait to see more in years to come
Are those the two teams you still want to play for?
Great View Dray..Been Trying to Hear This man out in Utah even before the Allstar Break… Jazz Is Cooking Something Up with the two young Trees In Utah.. i was looking to Fan the Jazz but Russ Made A Business Decision… No Disrespect, Go Jazz
Great interview. Shout out to both DG and LM
dray you always do the best interviews with players
Really excited for your interviews dray ! You're a great interviewer and also an excellent guest ( saw your interview with Rooks ) . Keep doing what you do brother
💪🏾💪🏾🔥
Bulls put Lauri in the corner, then he played in the Euro tournament last summer and was the first option scorer on his national team. He came back to the NBA and kept up his confidence.
Loved when Dray mentioned Fournier representing France and Patty Mills repping the Aussies. Looking forward to seeing Lauri and Finland compete on the world stage.
Draymond I need to see another championship In sf I've been a warriors fan since Al Attles days, yes I'm 75 yrs old so come on give and old lady another wish,you are super great at what you do a brilliant player who can play all positions and contribute to your team, so come on let's do this, Go WARRIORS
This interview was absolutely incredible
i’m here to be blunt. Dray, get off THE PODCAST AND go yell at your teammates. Correct them. Get the hell off the mic and put some heat on our guys. Last season when steph and Klay were gone, you held down the second half the season with your defense. Idc if you don’t have GP or Wiggins, it has always been your job to keep the guys in check. figure it out. You’ve got two years on this trio for a chip run. Get off the damn mic and get your team up. Y’all fumble half or this entire remaining road games, and you gonna find yourself in the play ins. Do. what. you. we’re. paid. to. do. The techs you’ve got?? Those should’ve been invested in screaming at your teammates ears. You getting soft on them. those small details? Absolutely worth calling out. ABSOLUTELY. and if it means risking your job or making them hate you, your job was to be vocal. where u messed up was when you got physical with your team. you learned with kevin, you learned with poole. u should be better with how you handle it now. But it’s your damn job to oversee the defense.
Always been a Lauri Fan since the Bulls, glad he’s up like he always supposed to be
I think regarding their pride for playing for the national team, the US is about the size of Europe. There are states bigger than some countries. We see a lot more pride here for our states/cities.
Speaking of Patty Mills, I would love to see him as a guest
What a great interview. Dray doing an excellent job and Lauri being 100% himself. Good insight to the european mindset.
tbh the phone quality came out much better
Extra shade for Dillon Brooks at the end. I support it, big time.
Dray .. can we get him ?
Markkanen has legit been prime Dirk this year essentially! Phenomenal year!
51/40/87 (65 TS%) efficiency is amazing for someone legit 7 foot like him especially while averaging 25-26 ppg, 9 rbg. His athleticism this year has surprised me too catching some bodies on dunks
