OT Draymond Green arrested

[handiman]

I prefer the nickname "The Nutcracker".

I don't care for any such thing being bandied about in my presence. And I really don't want to see Draymond in tights.

Very philosophical. You can't make the playoffs when you come to destroy them.

Wish I could do that to 95% of the nerds on here!

I'm on Green's side. There should be laws protecting celebrities from paparazzi harassment. Here's how the second man on the moon handled it.

 

[ripcityboy]

If I wa s a celeb I wouldn't go out on the town without a bodyguard or a posse that would make Elvis blush. People gave Brock Osweiler shit for protecting his wife when he was ordering a fucking pizza. There are a bunch of hyper sensitive guppy-mind lemmings out there looking for an out of court settlement.

The Judge in Draymond's case is named Richard Ball... Dick Ball... Hahahahahahaha

 

[SlyPokerDog]

In all seriousness, though, how drunk did the dude have to be to get in Draymond's face? The Groin ain't no fake tough guy! There aren't many players LeBron's size who can root him out with relative ease.

Not very drunk, you gotta figure if you can provoke him into punching you that's a 5 figure payday. Green will pay the guy $20k to refuse to testify if the DA decides to prosecute.

Stupid jerk Chronicle writer warned Green he was entering "Rasheed Wallace territory". Sheed fought the refs, verbally, but did not knee opponents and pick fights in bars. Fact optional.

Sheed's biggest offense for me was when he threw a towel during a time out at Sabonis. They were both going for a rebound and Sabes inadvertently elbowed Sheed. As they were walking to the bench Sheed threw a wadded-up towel at Sabonis' face. Sabes retired at the end of that season...

Go to the 2 min mark of this video...

The 2 minute mark is when I hated Sheed forever.

With someone that size and that temperament, you risk serious facial damage provoking him.

Then you get millions and after reconstruction surgery you end up better looking!

Green will be appearing before Judge Richard Ball. If convicted, the basketball player could face a $500 fine and/or have to spend 90 days behind bars.

Hahahaha! Green is going to appear before Judge Ball!

 

[blue9]

Judge Ball: "I shall have to recuse myself due to the fact that the defendant personally attacked a handful of my relatives."

 

[crandc]

I don't excuse the towel throwing but throwing a towel at a 7'3" man is not the same as throwing a punch at a 6' man. Just isn't.

 

[Jon]

im sorry, but Draymond Green is a prick. he has always been a prick and will always be a prick. i hope USA basketball kicks him off the team.

No one is saying the end result is the same...

I don't think Sabonis' retirement had anything to do with the towel-throwing. And I think the towel-throwing was immature and dumb, but far from unforgivable. If Jordan had done that to a teammate, people would have laughed and forgotten it ten seconds later. Sabonis was a cool-seeming guy, but not a Christ-like figure where any negative behavior towards him damns you for eternity (in my opinion, anyway).

Also, on topic:

"On Saturday night, Draymond and I were eating in East Lansing. At no point, ever, did Draymond punch anyone," Fowler said in a statement via text to The Undefeated. "The claims against him are beyond false and I look forward to the truth coming out."

Boutique sports journalism sites (i.e. sites that pride themselves on star journalists digging deeply into subjects rather than writing quick stories) need serious or "meaningful" names. Grantland, The Ringer, The Undefeated, The Vertical. They're not mere "news services," they're art!

Here's another perspective:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...all-player-face-celebrated-22nd-birthday.html

"According to an arrest report, Edmondson was with his girlfriend and some of his team mates when Green bumped into him in a bar called Rick's in East Lansing, Michigan, in the early hours of Saturday morning.
In his statement to police, Edmondson said he 'was talking to one of my team mates when Draymond bumped into me and I said: "Hey bro, you can at least say excuse me."' Green is said to have asked Edmondson who he was, while the football player asked the same question. Edmondson said the Warriors player replied: 'I pay for n***as like you [to get] scholarships.'

The Michigan State defensive back told police he was trying to tell Green he was confusing him with someone else when he was' choked out by two guys who were with him', Edmondson told police.
According to his statement, Edmondson was taken away to calm down by employees at the bar, but ran back after hearing his girlfriend, Bianca Williams, scream as she was allegedly choked.
'This is so wrong on so many levels for someone to think that something like this is OK,' Green told police. 'Me and my girlfriend were both choked in front of our peers and we couldn't do anything about it.'"

Defining your penis as art is a bit pretentious. We were discussing sports journalism.

I think "My two inches" would be more accurate.
