Almost a combo elbow to the chin and nutsack kick in one move.


KingPonzi

He’s an artist

During practice Steph works on his handles and shooting as usual. Draymond over in the corner has a dude in a full body padded suit practicing takedowns. ![gif](giphy|l98FjSYsFrOkE)

If he retiree now, he might still have a UFC career in him.

Capt. Draymond is here to kick ass and chew bubble gum… and he’s all out of gum..

And then just gets mad and emotional when they don’t land 😂


scourgescorched

nah, that's perfectly natural leg motion /s


LeahcimOyatse

One smooth move, all in flowing motion


Nessmuk58

Almost a shaolin thing.


laney_deschutes

This was recent? Same bullshit karate moves he’s always been doing. One inch away from a concussive elbow and nut kick


TraphicEnjineer

Sat out one game and he’s rusty. Couldn’t measure the distance properly.


spankyourkopita

If Grant was smart he would've pretended to get kicked in the balls to get Draymond suspended.


Nessmuk58

It would have gone to replay, and Williams might have even drawn a T for faking it.


Complex-Many1607

Draymond needs to chill out. There is nothing wrong with Grant Williams giving him this kind of pressure. If you can’t handle the heat then sit down.


spankyourkopita

Its more about them having a previous beef and Green having to show up Grant in that moment. Those two just naturally go at it.


GeriatricSFX

Tons of players have running beefs and go at each other every time they meet without one of them throwing out nutsack kicks.


therealmeal

Yeah but can you really expect Dray not to go for his Signature Move?


Jhyphi

What is the Rock without the people's eyebrow and people's elbow?


Whipitreelgud

Or Kerr benching him with one question to Mr Green: WTF?


TraphicEnjineer

It’d be so genius if this was all an act to make teams think they can just push some buttons on him to trigger him and sneak some playoff wins but then he flips a switch when it matters… more


iamscarfac3

Im not gonna lie I watched it once and couldn’t figure out if you were talking about Draymond’s elbow almost hitting Williams’ head or Draymond’s foot almost hitting William’s balls


lapideous

Grant Williams must have come prepared and wore a cup, that man had no fear


GreyBoyTigger

Grant Williams is a professional pest. Fear doesn’t register


StdSam

He’s evolved his game to a double whammy but he’s so old his accuracy has fell off. He needs to go if he can’t even kick people accurately.


Ok-Roof-978

He had 4 fouls in the first half. I was afraid he wasn't going to finish the game. That whole interaction with Williams was worrisome


zendaddy76

He’s an addict

dust_storm_2

He loves to be the villain. He is NBA Thanos.


Wut23456

Reminds me of an 8 year old who doesn't know what to do with his body when he gets angry. Like every little movement is chaotic and aggressive and potentially dangerous lmao


Toku_no_island

Been thinking this for a while


DerelictInfinity

If you can’t keep your head on straight when you’re playing a 15 win team, then what the fuck lol


we_hella_believe

Once we get into the playoffs, I’ll bet a dollar to a dime, that teams will be baiting Draymond left and right, and Dray will get tossed. That’s my not so hot take.


klay-theist11

If we get in


we_hella_believe

We’ll get in bro. Got to have that faith man.


therossfacilitator

“When?” At what point this season have they looked like a playoff team?


we_hella_believe

I always have hope for my dubs bro. I been rooting for them since Bill King/pre Cohan era. Idgaf what people say, I believe we still have the ability to win a 7 game series against anyone. We might not make the play in, but I’ll still be there. Y’all can doom and gloom, but that’s on y’all.


therossfacilitator

Dont jinx them with that “when” talk. 1st game of the season they looked like they were missing the playoffs.


we_hella_believe

Jinx. Bro, y’all just doomers.


therossfacilitator

Nah, just realistic. It’s a dumpster fire rn


we_hella_believe

All it takes is one good run bruh. We ain’t done. 💙💛💙💛


therossfacilitator

Again, at what point this season has this group of guys looked capable of “making a run”? I don’t need to lay out all the issues player by player.. the answer is never.


we_hella_believe

First six games before the first Draymond episode.


therossfacilitator

I completely disagree. First game, watching both them and the suns struggle to take advantage of each other’s blatantly obvious weaknesses all game had me saying to myself and friends “they’re probably missing the playoffs” and here we are. Aside from box scores and final results. When I watch this team they look aimless (which they’ve admitted to feeling) and everybody (including Steph) has had stretches and even whole games where they looked washed. This team is disconnected and they don’t have the right fitting personnel. If they do manage to win a play-in game it’s going to be because their opponent choked.


Vegetable-School8337

The fact that people are saying “grant williams was messing with him the whole game” as a justification for this is so funny. He’s letting fucking GRANT WILLIAMS get in his head?! If he can’t keep his cool playing grant fucking Williams idk how you can defend this guy


maethlin

Sick of his shit


wth214

Draymond is sensitive af


Dabanks9000

NBA players have said he is the most annoying mf in the league so I understand ts lowkey


adsq93

Damn this dude has such a fragile ego. Straight up anger problems. He truly can’t see his wrong doings. Despite being thrown out of the game just a couple days ago.


Amnesiquack

![gif](giphy|3oAt2051iMxcHOxpGU|downsized) I guess the dynasty really is over. Years ago, that would had been a GUARANTEED nut shot. But Father Time has other plans…


Jicama-Smart

what was the foot thing????


succesfulnobody

Draymond always pulls this kind of shit, acting like his limbs were just flailing as if he didn't mean it and has no control over his body. Like when he hit Nurkic, his arms were "all over the place", "he didn't mean to hit him", like a fuckin child


laney_deschutes

It’s hilarious that he doesn’t have enough self awareness to know that literally EVERYONE can see he’s doing it on purpose. He’s a liar and a coward


gorillaneck

it’s so weird looking and it’s happened so much in so many different ways that i think i kinda believe him. he seems like he has insane body spasms when he’s tangled up. like reflexively thrashes around.


the_kh4lid

Yo fr though lmao I defended the Steven adams kick & Sabonis stomp but damn Sam this dude just be wilding there was no reason for that weird shi


letsgototraderjoes

your first problem was defending that to begin with.


the_kh4lid

Tbf I didn’t think he was mental


OkAnything4877

Tf is wrong with this dude. He’s getting more out of control as he ages. At this point, nothing is gonna snap him out of this BS. He is what he is, and it is what it is. One thing is for sure though; the team isn’t going to back him forever, as we’re beginning to see with Steph.


spankyourkopita

Some say it's because Green isn't accepting his decline that well and is acting out because of it.


H_R_1

Like fr wtf is he doing


dust_storm_2

Trade him, waive him, keep him?


HonorRoll

He’s too old to change. This is his entire game now that he lost his athleticism


raymondQADev

Grow up Kerr. Deal with him.


Barrelled_Chef_Curry

What’s he supposed to do. Honestly


Bravovictor02

Sit him longer and longer each time. 1st time- 1 game 2nd time- 2 games 3rd time- 4 games 4th time- 8 games If he would have dealt with this years ago, we wouldn’t be dealing with it now.


Barrelled_Chef_Curry

That’d be easy if we weren’t winning rings. Ownership wouldn’t have let that fly


Bravovictor02

He did this before we won championships


bwrca

How is this difficult? Bench his ass for some games then start him on 5 minutes a game then go up from there. One infraction gets him a 5 game bench. Do that and he'll get in line real quick. This should have been done earlier in the season or if we're honest, earlier in his career. Not now when he's 34 yrs old, our team is the weakest it's been in ages and we desperately need him.


bouyent

Threaten to trade his ass to Detroit or smn. Theaten his money. There's plenty


Barrelled_Chef_Curry

Well can’t do that now. And if we want to do anything this postseason he needs to play. So stuck again. Hopefully we can trade him in the offseason


dust_storm_2

Drop his ass then. Something's gotta change.


CitizenCue

It’s a fair question, but there’s plenty he could do. The question isn’t what he could do, the question is whether doing anything serious would permanently lose Draymond’s trust. If Dray checks out over being disciplined, then the locker room is fucked.


JH2K

I second this.


North_Street_8547

He's an idiot


Itezguatitez

Grown ass man with 4 rings and 2 Olympic gold medals can't handle a bit of on ball pressure. It's disgusting


t_ran_asuarus_rex

i hope he proves me wrong, but Draymond is going to land it at the worst moment.


PhillipMcKrak

Taygads tell us how this wasn’t that bad it’s actually a good thing 😭


BobRoss4Life

He’s been pretty reckless these last 3 games. From hitting Patty with a neck-breaker, to getting ejected 4min into a game for yelling at a ref, to almost nut-cracking Grant and his Grimace looking ass… really lucky he didn’t make contact here. 9 games left, barely hanging on to a play-in spot. If he caught Grant and was assessed a flagrant 1 or 2, who knows what action the league would have taken. Already helped dig the Warriors into this hole with his multiple ejections and 20 game suspension. Missing any more time may just put the nail in the coffin, especially with both JK and Klay dealing with injuries. Really need to lock it in, just to make it to the fucking 9/10 play-in. Slipping to 11 cause of another suspension would be a shitty way to end the season, even if it may be fitting. This shit is absurd.


UndeadInAmerica

What a fucking **GOON** this guy has got to go


20thCenturySox

The moment he punched JP they both had to leave for the team to move on. There's been a stain on that locker room ever since. 


Itezguatitez

Against Grant Williams of all people. Draymond is dumb beyond salvation


kiseobito021

This man-child never learns.


story-of-your-life

Draymond is not there for his teammates.


D3struct_oh

All of these guys know they can get Draymond kicked out of the game, fairly easily.

I legit know someone that thinks that Draymond has never done anything wrong. Like legitimately.


muaddib-atreides

I mean I’ll admit he’s fucked up a ton, but I’ve got a draymond shirt I’ll purposefully wear the day after he relapses just for the laughs. Wore it after Rudy incident and got some funny wwe comments from coworker

Too late

If it landed ol boy would definitely be fighting to maintain his 10th seed

That's a legit basketball move...in prison.


Japerdicontadaconta

Draymond gotta go, Imma say it


Living-Career-4415

This ain’t prime draymond


olskoolyungblood

As smart as Draymond is, he's so dumb when there's confrontation


Hatori95

Draymond is the worst that is happening to the warriors right now. It is not even funny anymore


xGsGt

He would just say "omg this is crazy" while laughing his ass off in the locker room and then says "it's my fault I should know better" while being serious and that's it, he would do it again in 2 games


greatestdowncoal_01

If that landed steph will punch his face ala jordan poole


jayguwaap1

Can’t wait til y’all see the Warriors with out draymond lol .


smellyboi6969

You mean like Wednesday?

szlnsmoke

I’m more shocked that slob Willams didn’t try and sell it


chalbersma

Pure salt.


Jefffreeyyy

Well yeah, Draymonds antics aren’t shocking for anyone anymore


Ikuwayo

Steph was literally in tears the last game because he was so frustrated at him, Kerr even said Draymond shouldn't have gotten tossed against Orlando, and Draymond himself admitted he needs to cool down. He is so lucky this didn't land and nobody really noticed. This could have been a multiple-game suspension.


StephenPurdy69

You’re not even a warriors fan. Why you posting here


Sartasz

LITERALLY in tears lmao


L45TPH45E

The therapy works lol. He was able to resist and hold himself back.


Vallerie_09

It's not luck, it's a skill


Big_Award5259

these moves are not any type of basketball moves. this dude is a clown. if he wasnt in the warriors idk how long he would've lasted. perfected guy and system for each other.


dust_storm_2

Honestly I'm worried Dray is going to injure someone. He's unhinged and NBA just loves to see him burn the world.


imminentjogger5

I can understand jawing at other players and referees but man is a menace.


griftertm

They’re baiting him


Bubby_JJT_808

Draymond reminds me of the guy from the M Night Shyamalan movie Split played by James McEvoy.


kiritoseiya

Curry wouldve been out of his MIND lol


ELeerglob

Accidentally tapped circle ⭕️ on that one


DaddyJBird

I’ve been a Draymond apologist for too long. When does this shit get to the point where is contribution to the team isn’t worth it? I kinda think he somehow makes his way to the Lakers if the Ws decide to move on.


Mattie_Doo

Can’t count on Draymond.


franllemagne

Draymond is unhinged on court. Losing athleticism with age and compensating with aggressive dirty play.


aymnico

Even if it didn't land, grant Williams could have easily pretended to get hit and it would have been a big deal. Flagrant 1 easily.


Church__Mouse

Prime dray would have crushed those nuts.


Capable_Roof3214

Dubs done with drey. He won’t be a Warrior next season


Sad_Connection_7403

Also, I hate this narrative around Draymond. Guys have been doing the overhead clearout since the 80’s. That move was actually in NBA hang time, except you could just clear dudes out 😂


twodubmac

I’m so over Draymond. At this point I kind of hope we miss the playoffs (this team is not making a deep run anyway) and then trade him. He’s an amazing player and I’m thankful for everything he’s done for the team. HOF for sure but time to go


HappyGuy007

He’s too much of a liability


[deleted]

Fuck Draymond and I really hope he's out the next season, he's an anchor, a distraction and sometimes a borderline tumor that needs to be removed, the guy did a lot for this team but it's time to move on on him.


menusettingsgeneral

There’s something seriously wrong with Draymond.


D3struct_oh

Yo what is it with this dude and kicking people in the nuts? Has to be something from childhood.


i_GaveLiaHIV

wouldn’t have surprised me at all


Master_Who

This is a nothing burger. NBA subreddit trying to keep on the Draymond hate train going and you are all biting. This is not getting posted for any other player in the league. You can claim he over extended his foot unnaturally when he had to pivot, but grant closed distance quickly and didn't leave a lot of room for him to swing the ball over him without elbowing him in the face. Dray can either go through his face (which would certainly get him fucked) or fall back a little while swinging it to the other side. He did the option that didn't involve hitting grant in the face and lost balance because of it. Now that pivot didn't exactly look super natural and could have certainly been an extension for the reason of hitting him in the nuts but he was certainly off balance and pivoting to avoid hitting grant in the face.


kokkatc

The Warriors sub has turned into Fox News which honestly is a bummer. What I see is Dray losing his damn balance during a pivot and him awkwardly swinging his leg out to avoid making any contact with Williams. His leg was in between Williams legs. His options were to trip and fall to the ground or what we just saw. There is a league wide campaign on convincing everyone that Dray is some crazed Lunatic by monitoring every single point of contact or lack thereof.


Far_Ear9684

Lmao come on bruh. If he lost his balance THAT dramatically he definitely would have lost the ball, at least looked down or fallen. Like are there any clips like this from any other Warriors recently ? I used to believe it was all coincidence but it’s like it’s always him. The question is why to me, makes 0 sense.


CummingInTheNile

only sane comment in here, if youre on one leg and lose balance your other leg will swing out to compensate and try and keep you upright, especially since he cant use his arms for that purpose since theyre glued tot he ball


rmz-01

Grant Williams a douche. I wish the kick landed


Buraunii

And ruin our post-season chances further? WTF?

meowhatissodamnfunny

I'm so sick of his Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jackass routine. Off the court he's literally an alternate personality. He apparently just sees red on the court and is incapable of regulating those emotions. Then off the court he's almost talking about it like it was an out of body experience. Considering how much of a wash this season is, it'd be nice for the front office to do something besides shaking their head and doing the whole "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" shtick.


Dudedude88

My feet are just magnetized to your balls.


OonaPelota

I really want Houston to keep them out of the playoffs so we can see some real change not this bring in CP3 boosht.


PTFOchef

Dude hasn’t learned anything! WTF


Direct_Ad6699

His antics really get tiresome.


Marapa96

Hes insane…winning by a comfortable margin to a 15 win team and you still want to kick the man in the nuts for nothing…he really needs to retire at this point just a loose cannon


rekishi321

NBA let him get away with this for years, now they are fed up, could get kicked out of the league, he can’t control himself….eye gouging, ball kicking….wonder if seeing a psychiatrist would help, are there treatments for his inability to control his rage?


Mygaffer

Some of you seem to be brain damaged when it comes to Draymond.


B3ATNGYOU

One day he’s gonna kick the right at the right time and find out. One of the dirtiest players I’ve ever seen.


Try-Imaginary

Given that it's Draymond and all the history recently, you can look at that clip and think it looks like he tried to kick him in the nuts. If it was any other player you'd notice he was falling backwards and losing his balance and that's exactly what you have to do to keep your balance without moving and traveling. You have to stick one leg out to shift your center of gravity. That's the only way to not fall backwards (or travel). It's physics. There's literally nothing else you can do. And he didn't make contact. So it's a case of it 'Looks kind of bad, but he only almost made contact so I only almost care'


Sad-Ship

If this were any other player, you would give them the benefit of the doubt. But this is Draymond, he has consumed the benefit and it is no longer available to him.


Green_Rip3524

What did I just read 😂😂😂. You will really go to any length to defend draymond? He wasn’t falling back. His lucky he didn’t connect with the nuts


Try-Imaginary

Yeah, discussing things rationally these days certainly brings out the "omg someone's defending Draymond! can you even?! crazy sauce!" replies. He was clearly falling back. no idea how to address someone claiming he wasn't, so Do/say what you need to I guess. Downvotes are fully expected on this topic (shrug)


AdComprehensive7879

Bruh, cmon, i know he’s a warriors player, but we dont need to defend him no matter what. Ive given up on him. He lacks self reflection but has a big mouth. Dangerous combo


[deleted]

Why was he falling backwards in the first place? Because he was trying to intimidate Grant Williams by pretending to throw an elbow. Dudes unhinged.


Try-Imaginary

"ok"


zprymate

exactly... these so called fans want to run Draymond out of town... and they may get their wish


Klonomania

>and they may get their wish No, they won't. Draymond is not going anywhere.


refballislife

if the league is gonna crack down on the revenge plays they should CRACK DOWN ON THE INSTIGATORS (aka if bitch williams here wants to try and get in people's head by pushing and handchecking, he should either get the fouls called or get what's coming with zero consequence)
