If you haven’t seen the video of Draymond Green knocking out Jordan Poole, it is a punch that would make Mike Tyson proud.
Do not be duped by the fake pictures on Twitter of Jordan Poole’s face but I believe that Poole’s face was definitely worse for the wear after acting as a roadblock for Draymond’s fist.
I believe this is exactly the spark that the Warriors need as they look to repeat as champions. The people calling this a sucker punch are idiots. Obviously, words were exchanged between the two, and when Draymond got in Poole’s face and then shoved Draymond away, he was very foolish to not protect his face. He has been teammates with Draymond for a while now and had to know a punch was a possibility and should have put his hands up.
Credit to Poole for recognizing that and agreeing that Draymond should not be suspended for the dust-up. That shows the respect Poole has for Draymond as a teammate and person. Now Draymond is taking time away from the team, and let me say, throwing a punch at a younger unruly teammate is an all-time way to get out of training camp, well done Dray. Latrelle Sprewell tried a similar tactic during his time with the Warriros, when he choked his coach, was asked to leave practice and then returned 20 minutes later to throw a punch. That ended up being a 68-game suspension, so Draymond must have really done his homework and decided that the best way to get away with violence at practice is to throw a punch at someone you know has to look up to you. Absolutely genius move and that’s why Draymond will go down as one of the greats of the 2010s and 20s.
