Green should be fired from the LEAGUE!!
This is sexist. Players have lost careers for hitting women, fighting dogs.
Yet Gaymond is able to kick men in the crotch for years, and punch his own teammate in the face who was not even able to defend theirself.
Its sexist. Assualt is wrong!! But in the nba you can keep your job if you only assualt men?
I watched the fight between Jalen McDaniels and Clay Thompson, with Draymond Green jumping into the fight and putting Rudy Gobert into a chokehold I have been a fan of the NBA for 54 years and I think that the chokehold by Draymond was reckless and could have caused serious bodily harm to Rudy Gobert.
Some people have a tendency to look the other way when a player or his team wins, like Draymond and Warriors have done.
Draymond is constantly aggressively in the faces of the referees and other NBA players. Basketball is just a sport to entertain the fans and is not meant to be a display of violence for the whole world to see.
Outside of the NBA in the real world, Draymond would have been charged with an assault with intent to inflict bodily harm against Rudy Gobert. The NBA needs to send a strong message that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. Draymond's behavior paints a negative picture of the NBA to their fans and sponsors.
Rudy a hall of famer?
All this draymond haters lol y’all would do the same for your brother.. no matter what .. the outcome don’t matter..
Klay is a shell of his old self and he is frustrated. Wigs is useless too. Let them go while they still have value.
Malika out here embarassing people on national TV. I forgot about Austin River's choke hold lol
klay grabbed him first and draymond decided to be clown 🤡, that dude is fool always finding ways to cost his team in games and big moment's.People will still say he was defending is team mate lol steve kerr talking complete nonsense gobert was trying to seperate them.
Steve Kerr as usual lying, just like he lied about what happened when Draymond knocked out Poole.
The problem is the league and Green's tea always defended him to the point they made a monster. So green will never understand punishment. He needs fired for kicking players in he crotch, punching his teammate and all his past and will be future assualts
I can't find fault in the suspension but one question,If Gobert was ruled a peace keeper for the reason he wasn't ejected why was he fined the same as two of the guys that were?
Leave Draymond alone he did what he was supposed to do💯
RUDY GOBERT WAS NO WAY ACTING AS PEACEMAKER. A peacemaker steps in between players, but Rudy put both of his hands around KLAYS NECK first!!!!!!!! Tape doesn't lie. You know, there have been NBA ref in the past 15 yrs arrested and convicted of throwing games in order to pay off debts. The refs in the NBA make some bad decisions in every game and every game the NBA has to release a statement saying errors were made in the last 2 minutes of a game. Makes you wonder, same in this case.
Why she asking rivers about his fight lost year lol this woman is a straight clown anything to make blackmen look bad
Don’t suspend Draymond 😂 Perkins big mad because Draymond can shoot better than him and have more rings .
Draymond must've been scarred from childhood abuse or something. Mama Green got some explaining to do on why he's like this. He's 33 years old now, you think he should've been calming down now but he hasn't. Dude probably has lost a few million dollars in fines in his career that he could've use towards his kid's trust fund!🤦♂️🤦♂️
Draymond did right Df yall saying
Draymond is trash, no other team even wants him, Steph’s the only reason they’ve won anything
Should be assault
Kerr is such a democrat 🤣 all about integrity while lying his azz off
Green should ve gotten 10 GAME SUSPENSION FACTS !!! I BLACK and I like Golden St. A little bit !! KNICKS For Life !!!! Green IS An Absolute Idiot !!! He Really Believes That He's That Dude !!! Don't get me wrong he's a decent player but he believes he's HIM LMAO !!! 25.6 MILL HE better be cool. Okkkkk PEACE ✌
One more time doing stuped things like that
Dray has always been a fiery guy good teammate. he'll stand up for his teammates. but you hate to lose him for multiple games.
W take by Perkins 👏🏽 Draymond has gotten away with far too much for far too long. The league needs to take a stand for once and stop tolerating and promoting his B.S. This isn’t his first time and if he doesn’t receive a proper consequence it certainly won’t be the last. A chokehold??? Unacceptable and what’s crazy is that’s his version of de escalating the situation 😭 Love Coach Kerr but he really only sees what he wants to see when it comes to Draymond. Just like with JP, he does something utterly unacceptable yet faces no penalties. No real consequences will only cause this unacceptable behavior to worsen and to pollute the league.
Warriors play better with out dray
Kerr is lying.
Warriors need players on the court no watching games from his living room
Dray has always been a fiery guy good teammate. he'll stand up for his teammates. but you hate to lose him for multiple games.

Draymond is complete trash! He should've been charged criminally for his sucker punch and now chokes a guy. Should face 10 games but the NBA is a joke so probably half that at most.
I mad Karl Anthony Towns didn't slam Draymond. How could you let him choke your teamate out like that for no reason 😂
No Kerr!! You have no control over your arrogant team!!
How have the warriors been dominating for a decade when they only got 4 rings in 10 years lol
thry tryna promote madness..no skill just attention and numbers
Draymond did what he was supposed to do.
Everybody mustve forgot hes a 4 time champ in year 12 whats he's been doing has been successful up to this point 😂
Rudy is a big 🤡🤡🤡and will never win nothing.
I picked GS as a team that would win it all because of their championship pedigree. and just staying healthy. but yes Dray getting suspended just like him punching Poole last season disrupted GS. he can't do that anymore.
In season tournaments got the players active 🥊 😂😂😂
Shut up you creeps !!!!
Rudy gobert should’ve got ejected too
That's a dangerous act from Draymond that might choked and kill someone. The refs should carry tazer if needed 😂
Some of y’all have no idea what a true chokehold is … as someone that trains in BJJ.. what Rudy did was nothing and he was mainly trying to separate dudes. Draymond was pulling him back 20 feet on a tight hold. Stop defending that trash.
It was a strangle. It takes 5 pounds of pressure for 5 seconds, cutting blood off to the brain, in order to strangle someone unconcise. If Rudy collapses unconcise and cracks his head causing possible death; what then. He should be gone for the season, at least.
Don’t care who started it. If players started fighting, you try and hold your teammate to stop the fight. If you grabbed another player not in your team, you’re about to get it.
Big Perk nailed it…nothing to add.
