SIAP: Draymond Kicking Again
This one could be the worst of all and he does not even connect.
Suspend him, please. This stuff is too much.

is a straight clown show. Did you see the elbows he is throwing at the dude's ribs (while he has control of the ball in the other hand!?!), just no need for any of that. The kick is obviously ridiculous, but I'm shocked they or the OP didn't mention the haymaker elbows he is throwing. Dude is classless and a pure troll.
February 24th, 2017 at 8:54 AM ^
He also went batshit crazy and got a T and started screaming at Kerr.
Honestly, I don't remember this stuff at MSU. He was always pretty passionate but this behavior never came up when he was with them.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:10 AM ^
He is on a Rodman-like trajectory straight down.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:40 AM ^
Great comparison. It does seem that way.
February 24th, 2017 at 10:00 AM ^
Rodman's antics were calculated and more often than not took the opponent out of the game moreso than himself. While both can be seen as clown shows, Rodman's was well scripted while Draymond simply has no discipline and can't control his temper.
I remember Rodman getting under Karl Malone's skin when the Jazz and Bulls played in the finals, affecting the Mailman's game - Draymond's antics only seem to hurt his own team, like getting suspende for last year's game 5.
Warriors should definitely look to trade him for solid post player and /or wing defender while he still has value in the market. They have more than enough playmakers and guys that can get their own shot on that team.

after he was done playing out in Newport Beach where he lived.
The stuff he did on the court was exactly him. It wasn't an act.
February 24th, 2017 at 10:47 AM ^
He is going to wear a wedding dress and marry Lady Gaga?
February 24th, 2017 at 11:16 AM ^
This clown should join the rockeets already.
Yes, the new rodman.
February 25th, 2017 at 5:58 AM ^
February 24th, 2017 at 10:13 AM ^
Didn't he hit someone in the nuts at state?

it would'nt be the 1st kick to the death match.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:55 AM ^
Such an underrated flick.
When he fought those two guys, that was some of the coolest straight combat on film you'll see.
February 24th, 2017 at 8:56 AM ^
in why I wasn't among the chorus of Pistons fans who wanted to sign him. Regardless of his talent and fit in today's NBA, this guy is a joke.
February 24th, 2017 at 10:41 AM ^
If he would have signed here, by now he would be a Charles Rogers caliber shitshow. They would be on the hook for a lot of money while trying to sue him to get it back. Meanwhile, he'd be in Saginaw in his mom's basement.
February 24th, 2017 at 10:43 AM ^
Even worse, this guy almost ended up at Michigan. Izzo offered him extremely late.
February 24th, 2017 at 10:51 AM ^
It is a shame that he was corrupted by MSU instead of shown a better path in life and shown how to be an upstanding gentlemen at Michigan.
We should all blame Izzo?
I know that's not your point though.
February 24th, 2017 at 8:57 AM ^
Green is just a big bodied meat head who can make a few buckets here and there. No diffrent than a Dennis Rodman. Both are idiots. Rodman would've cleaned Green's candy ass clock mind you for what its worth. Not much. Green needs stronger meds though. He's a ticking time bomb waiting to happen.
February 24th, 2017 at 8:58 AM ^
So you're telling me that someone who routinely is in denial about throwing kicks at dudes during basketball games and who also believe the Earth is flat, is still making bad decisions and then lies about it?

How do you go for a loose ball on the ground and end up kicking someone in the head who is standing up? He needs to be suspended for this, no excuse because this wasn't a basketball move.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:19 AM ^
It is really not that bad, but this guy deserves like a 5-game suspension to get through his thick, Sparty, vapid head that intentional kicking of the opposition players is not part of basketball.
Put him in UFC and have someone kick the shit out of him is my alternative sanction.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:23 AM ^
Think was the worst one of all. At least with most of the others, he could play it off as he was "sort of" in a basketball move.
This one is a straight upward judo kick from the ground.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:37 AM ^
I agree with your point, but his psychotic explanations of his other kicks as "basketball moves" I have never accepted as having even a shred of truth.
Not connecting is the only reason it can be described, perhaps inartfully by me, as "not that bad."
WE need to see him suspended for this bs, and HE probably needs it for his own good.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:41 AM ^
But at least visually, they look like they can be explained with a somewhat natural basketball movement. Kind of like the Suh kick to Cutler's schnutz. It was extra but not wildly out of place.
This one was.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:51 AM ^
Suh would have made a great, great Spartan.
Your prosecution argument has increased my sanction for Green to a 10-game suspension, with a mandatory fight with the UFC Champion as a condition of reinstatement.
February 24th, 2017 at 10:00 AM ^
The Spartans probably could have had him. IIRC, his best offers were Nebraska and Oregon St..
February 24th, 2017 at 9:50 AM ^
I think he connected though. If you watch Griffin, he drops his elbow down to his ribs as to protect them. I think he got a pretty decent hit in there.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:22 AM ^
And the suspension should start on Columbus Day.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:23 AM ^

The clock would reset every week.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:57 AM ^
February 24th, 2017 at 9:32 AM ^
That guy is such a worthless prick and needs to be suspended for a long time to teach him a lesson. Clearly the guy doesn't give a shit or get it.
February 24th, 2017 at 10:22 AM ^
Nah, I think I like the above where he kicks the wrong guy and gets cold clocked. That's the only way he'll realize he's actually doing something people might not like. Even then, maybe he won't realize. Seems like a pretty blunt instrument. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.. etc. etc.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:35 AM ^
...Let the girl kick. It makes him look increasingly like a punk.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:36 AM ^
Have you noticed that he doen't seem to have these crazy uncontrollable kicks when no opposing players are around?
If it was uncontrollable, he'd be accidently kicking his own teammates ALL THE FUCKING TIME, in games, every day in practice, the rest of his team would be wearing body arnor by now.
Never makes a weird-ass kicking motion when he's alone & making a shot . . .
Suspend this tool without pay for a season.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:39 AM ^
Well, there is zero doubt this time that it was deliberate.
Something's not right with him. He can't seem to control his emotions. It's time to suspend him.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:45 AM ^
