The only thing uncomfortable is Draymond and Stephen A. trying to spin this into a racial issue. Ridiculous.
BLACK IS THE MOST SENSITIVE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
Draymond one of worst players in the NBA righht throw him out of the league already he danger to the players on other teams.
More ejections & suspensions are coming for him 😂
I’m excuse suspended twice almost severely injured a former teammate can’t trust draymond to not get ejected this has nothing to do with being a black man he can’t control himself u dnt see embid doing this even tho he’s fustrated with situations
Shut up
With all disrespect I honestly wish I could reach through the screen and punch SAS right in his forehead! 😂 like bro stop tryna speak for us! Most of us don’t fw you or that weak a** show
Dreymond ain’t did nothing that was done in the 90s basketball just soft rn
Black lives = sensitive thugs
This has notthing to do with Black and White .. Draymond made it that way with his response
ppl being all yada yada about race and blaming SAS for "bringing up the race card" when Draymond verbatim said "Im a successful BLACK MAN in America" that already drags race into the discussion. Hence why SAS pointed out the level of sensitivity when it comes to such vague questions like the reporter asked because it starts to make the conversation more than just basketball
how does this affect lebron and bronny?
Suspended every year. Espn should be ashamed of themselves. Yeah he's a saint. He's acted unstable for 13yrs. Shame on Stephen A. Smith.
This was a dumb response from Stephen A. This journalist was referring to Draymond's suspensions that could possibly hurt the team. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the journalist who was doing their job was asking. And when he said you're going to be here every night he was referring to not being suspended. Technically he continuously break the rules of the NBA which is the laws within the organization. Stop making everything about race when you yourself criticize sports players all day long. You don't get a pass just because you're black.
Lmao be careful with words ? Race baiter Stephen a at it again. 😂😂😂
Stephen A. Has gripes with the warriors, that's honestly what it is, and it shows. Using tatum as an excuse to blatantly do it too
I am saved and saintfied you are never late he wins is the reason for the hour.😊
Man, I hate that the NBA is right around the corner. Now, we have to hear about all the “drama” surrounding the players because the actual games, themselves, are soooooooo boring.
Ill save everyone some time. Its the white mans fault.
Oh my god smh here goes the race card again 🤦 lol. Dude was talking about on the court and him being a crazy hot head tf
This is exactly why when race is brought up, nobody cares anymore.
Oh Molly 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is stupid. We know what he was asking – it was dumb answer and SAS Captain Blackman gives a dumb analysis.
You a clown SAS
SAS playing the race card. He was trying to say people are worried about donkey's uncontrollable emotions. They're worried he's going to be suspended again. Morons..
Of course SA makes it about RACE. The reporter is stating the obvious in a nice way. Draymond is a side show and brings his teammates down with his antics.
Molly was obviously not listening
He clearly has no regrets and doesn't care. Kudos to Stephen a and molly for enabling him.
This was a horrible segment. The reporter was doing his job. Draymond hasn't matured on the court at all and he's going into year 13/14. SAS bringing up race is why no one takes race conversations serious these days in America. This had nothing to do with race, and all to do with Draymond's history on the court.
Getting corny Stephen a
Kings better
Reporters question had nothing to do with race and more to do with Draymond's erratic and emotional outbursts.
Im glad people in the comments see this clearly, don't know what the great Stephen a was thinking with this take. Much love to the brother but i wont even finish the video because hes so far from the issue at hand. Draymond gas assaulted multiple people and no amount of money can make up for the obvious mental issues that dray is going through.
Please stop talking Stephen A!!!!!!! Everyone knows Draymond Green has been a major problem!!!!! The refs don't target him. He makes himself a target!!!!!!
What a joke molly be quiet 🤫
SAS YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR BLACK MEN,YOUR NOT LIKE US YOU NEED TO STF UP
Reporter needed to be more direct with Green BUT race has NOTHING to do with this exchange.. typical victim behaviour by ESPN, SAS and Molly..😢👎
Nope, that was a valid question. He even stated he had mental issues.
The reporter’s talking on the court. There’s a definite reason to be worried about Draymond. He’s a walking suspension and getting worse with age. This team’s on the brink of championship irrelevancy and they can’t sustain Draymond’s shenanigans.
There is nothing wrong with that question
Draymond needs to get out of his feelings . The question wasn’t too harsh . Clearly the reporter is talking about his on the court actions .
Reporter asked a perfectly valid question and he was all defensive for no reason. Dray's gotta do yoga or seek anger management or something cause something's really wrong with his mental 😂
This is a ridiculous take and sounds like Stephen A. is trying to recover street cred. Draymond Green has a long and sordid history of suspensions and as a Golden State fan, the question is more than fair. As a Black man, how this is racial is beyond me. The video is full of bluster
over blown as always, everyone had players backs even if they are proven liability
Draymond Green has anger issues and he needs to address him and his suspensions have hurt the team. If he’s a team player, he learns to tone it down plain and simple I think sometimes he’s arrogant little screwball.
