Draymond Green doesn't like rising stars participating in the All-Star Game 👀

Do you agree?

Comments

Draymond gets carried for 4 rings, fights everyone, has the ego the size of trumps. Yet San Francisco still wants him on their team? Dumas still wants him in the league?

Rare Draymond W

Dear friends, I need your support! ❄️🛵
Getting around in the winter as a paraplegic is a daily struggle, but an enclosed mobility scooter would be life-changing—giving me the freedom and independence I desperately need. Please consider donating or sharing my GoFundMe🙏✨🔗 https://gofund.me/0af928df

brianmanker.bsky.social•5 days ago

He’s washed up. He should be on the “fading stars” team at this point.

jvoforsolidarity.bsky.social•6 days ago

Preach Draymond! Go Green!

braddtastic.bsky.social•6 days ago

Draymond is real fortunate to even still be in this league. His tired routine was probably an attempt to deflect the narrative around his name away from that dismal performance in the Skills Challenge. 🏀

danfinchff.bsky.social•6 days ago

He's probably right but nobody has ever wanted to watch Draymond Green in an all-star game

jessefisher.bsky.social•6 days ago

Don't mind him. He's just salty he couldn't make a pass during the skills challenge.

minusarchitecture.bsky.social•6 days ago

No. Draymond is more bitter every day. Not sure I like the new format, but it's not like the players were taking it seriously, so let's just make it entertaining.

cchavis3.bsky.social•6 days ago

Truth

jaimelemer.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hellll no. I’d rather see the rising stars play hard than the usual suspects trot around, bored, acting like they deserve it bc they’re big names. And for the love of God, get that jerk Draymond off my screen!

1q4me.bsky.social•6 days ago

I guess his opinion is important… to him anyway.

farmerglickstein.bsky.social•5 days ago

I think the regular all-stars have repeatedly let the fans down, and the rising stars were brought in to challenge them. If it's so sacred being an All-star, then play like it

xodarap1.bsky.social•6 days ago

If you want better ratings, how about not putting behind network paywalls , nobody is trying to subscribe to tru tv to watch this 😂😂😂

virgoj46.bsky.social•6 days ago

you obviously know why they are doing it..ratings

thisismyspout.bsky.social•6 days ago

Who cares what this lunatic narcissist says?

darkaverymariah23.bsky.social•6 days ago

No one cares about Draymond Green has to say if he hates the NBA so much maybe he should leave it 👌🏿 how are you a NBA player bashing the NBA All-Star game we're watching it right now ⛹🏿‍♂️🏀💪🏿

t-money32.bsky.social•5 days ago

Lol @ "I had to work so hard" from a man whose career consists almost entirely of fights, suplexes and below-the-belt hits

warrencb11.bsky.social•6 days ago

If the stars pretended to try this never would have come up

tk-28.bsky.social•6 days ago

Go back to east vs west. And make an all star game victory part of the max contract eligibility.

coachfah.bsky.social•6 days ago

So? We don't like Draymond very much either.

opinionated-terran.bsky.social•5 days ago

NFL bullied the NBA off of Christmas

NBA All Star Game loses out to the NHL Four Nations Tournament

Maybe a league that thrives on drama is just not that compelling? And removing what little competitiveness exists lays that rather bare?

Or maybe you all just needed more Kevin Hart who's to say

tonyperez34.bsky.social•6 days ago

Stfu dray

breakinglalo.bsky.social•6 days ago

The NBA needs to play hard nose defense!

computerchemist88.bsky.social•6 days ago

He needs to retire…

seandrethegiant757.bsky.social•5 days ago

lol he just listed perfect reasons to try something new…. Ratings are down and the game is bad 😂 what the hell is the point of continuing to do it the same way?!

allenjj.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes.

somefoo.bsky.social•6 days ago

I agree. Just rolling out the red carpet for nonsense

pro-tipz.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think this game format is a great change, It actually looks like a game with actual defense.

xxoddjobxx.bsky.social•6 days ago

That’s how it was the first year they had captains too.

spobabby.gobirds.online•6 days ago

I'm with Oscar Robertson on this one

boozegetsmethrough.bsky.social•6 days ago

Draymond is a charity case All-Star. Nobody paid to see him, same as the rising stars

shawnjohn.bsky.social•6 days ago

Draymond is a hater.

darkaverymariah23.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly 💯

nolanwaters.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maybe it's time to flush some of those old head all stats. Who's tuning into all star weekend to watch Draymond Green brick a three?

nolanwaters.bsky.social•6 days ago

*stars

soxinmi.bsky.social•6 days ago

So make your fellow players play hard, don’t complain about the solutions they are trying. Complain that you and your fellow players created the problem!

bmuninger.bsky.social•6 days ago

chrisfahim.bsky.social•6 days ago

Why is Draymond Green considered a voice of importance regarding NBA matters?

confusedraptorfan.bsky.social•6 days ago

Now that’s the real question!

myemail21479.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yea it’s silly. Someone asked him, he spoke, and the people who need clicks for money are farming the clicks. He’s only there because the game is in SF.

512q.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maybe because he actually plays for the NBA. Draymond is right and the NBA is not a great product right now.

chrisfahim.bsky.social•6 days ago

There’s many other NBA players that have a positive influence on the game whose opinions would carry much more weight.

ethanr.bsky.social•6 days ago

And then that makes him part of the problem. Putting the next generation in the spotlight is 100% the right move in terms of fixing it, freshen up the faces playing in the game.

whatupdoe1975.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thank God you don't watch the NBA then. We wouldn't want a mistake you for a hypocrite.

ttwally.bsky.social•6 days ago

If Draymond played in Sacramento we’d have already forgotten about him. Someone cut his mic already.

balldontlie.bsky.social•6 days ago

🔥 🔥 🔥

estebantx.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maybe if they played defense in the game ?

swissrammer.bsky.social•6 days ago

What numbers does he have to be an all-star?

cforsberg.bsky.social•6 days ago

Meh. Bread and circus, y'all. I hoped they Warriors and the NBA would have addressed more important topics than who their coworkers for an hour were.

ernorland.bsky.social•6 days ago

All-Star games don’t seem to work very well in any sport. Home run derby, 3 point competition, and dunk contest are pretty fun.

eobmada.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don’t think I agree with anything Draymond says.

rodrirg.bsky.social•6 days ago

The rising stars were provided a pathway for participating in the All-Star game. I liked what I watched.

kamala95.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not the kids fault the game was modified…… it’s the recent generation of stars that need to look in the mirror….. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

archersteve.bsky.social•6 days ago

He's right.

internationaljesse.bsky.social•6 days ago

Who cares what Draymond thinks??? Stfu, scrub.

ariesveil.bsky.social•6 days ago

This guy is so unlikeable. Everything about him.

slayertheband.bsky.social•5 days ago

Someone didn’t get their allstar bonus

seanmorrisuofan.bsky.social•6 days ago

I dont watch the nba anymore, it really be looking like a pickup game most of the time.

fleat.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is why we need to bring back lobotomies. You clearly haven’t seen an NBA game or played a pick up game in over a decade if you think they are anything alike.

seanmorrisuofan.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wth is wrong with you? Lobotomy? Touch grass you idiot.

fleat.bsky.social•6 days ago

You compared professional basketball to pick up, thought I was serious about lobotomies and somehow I’m the idiot?

seanmorrisuofan.bsky.social•6 days ago

You start a debate about basketball by saying your opponent needs a lobotomy.

Yes.

fleat.bsky.social•6 days ago

Saying you should be lobotomized was simply a more creative way to call you stupid for your “hot take” jfc man.

tarheelnsc.bsky.social•6 days ago

Pretty easy answer here- play the game like it is important and the ratings go up. Play it like a rec league game ratings go down.

det2orl.bsky.social•6 days ago

If the all-stars played like they cared it would never have been considered.

dougjohnson17.bsky.social•6 days ago

Shocked that would be the perspective from a fading star. Once a douche - always a douche.

brhi.bsky.social•6 days ago

marlaef.bsky.social•6 days ago

He’s not wrong…

vicvinegar2024.bsky.social•6 days ago

2 more years for 50 million.Winning!!!!

gregoryleclerc.bsky.social•6 days ago

Have the game at the end of the season or in the summer as a teaser to the upcoming season. Players are exhausted and don’t want to get hurt if their team is in contention.

nymhartist.bsky.social•6 days ago

Old man vybes

iamalquarles.bsky.social•6 days ago

The NBA All-Star Game’s declining ratings stem from lack of competitiveness, not just star power. Bringing in rising stars could help inject energy and fresh motivation. Fans want effort and excitement, so if younger players bring intensity, that’s a step toward fixing the game’s appeal.

moneylinegrind.bsky.social•6 days ago

The new format is better. I couldn't watch all those botched fast breaks and missed ally oops

afc9503russ.bsky.social•5 days ago

Rising stars are what make the future of the NBA possible. Without them the NBA would be in trouble.

strangedayalibi.algo.xyz•6 days ago

Good! Rising stars will keep the “All Stars” on their toes and maybe make them put a little effort in

jamfam18.bsky.social•6 days ago

Y’all might dislike the man but consider his words. He was cohosting the tip off show and he was asked his opinion.

jamfam18.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes!!

whatupdoe1975.bsky.social•5 days ago

We don't like him beating up people but yet here he is but that's not the fact the fact is he don't like himself. He would find something wrong with 36 Chambers.

saltydog1981.bsky.social•5 days ago

One of the dirtiest players ever

giakusing.bsky.social•5 days ago

how do you feel about rising stars participating in the all star game?

saltydog1981.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don’t watch the AS game, honestly. Not sure how it impacts the game or the players. Not even sure how they select the players anymore. Also, what is a “rising star”? If they are better than Draymond, let em play.

spraynstarch.bsky.social•6 days ago

He had no right being a all star soooooooooooo

thisissirdre.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think his mic needs to be cut

brooklyn75.bsky.social•6 days ago

He hurts people purposely. Spotlight someone else.

ahashim.bsky.social•6 days ago

And why is the game on Sunday bad, Draymond? Whose fault is that? Surely the guys who go out and put on a glorified layup line (you included) are not to blame for that. /s

tulanefootball.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, non all stars should not play in the all star game.

Also, fire Nico

kuenythiluang.bsky.social•6 days ago

The rising stars played harder against the all stars in the tournament. I think that played into this year being more competitive because who wants to be the team of all stars losing to the NBA up and comers

jamesinok.bsky.social•5 days ago

Maybe he's one of the reasons the game is bad right now?

martindoblas.bsky.social•6 days ago

He has a point.

avsyst.bsky.social•6 days ago

He doesn't like it because rising stars are going to play hard to show everyone their skills. That means he might actually have to play a real game.

ornerymainer.bsky.social•6 days ago

Who cares

trevny.bsky.social•6 days ago

Incredibly, i agree with Draymond about something. East vs West always. Find ways to incentivize, like winner gets home court advantage in Finals. Bench those who ain't trying.

yoteamass.bsky.social•5 days ago

If you give home court advance in finals, what's the point of having a better regular season record? Nothing

jbills.bsky.social•6 days ago

I've been saying they need to incentivize the ASG for a hot minute. If there's no biscuit what's the point to risk it is how most of these guys act, and it's time to change their mindset. Make it worth something. Give them a reason to play.

davekersey.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not at all. The old game was a joke. At least this format provides an uptick in game.

davekersey.bsky.social•6 days ago

At least it was until the "championship" game

davekersey.bsky.social•6 days ago

Back to the regularly scheduled "watch anything except an all-star game" programming.

davekersey.bsky.social•6 days ago

And to be clear, ANY all-star game.... they're all awful

ziyaadparker7.bsky.social•6 days ago

The all star pros barely participate themselves.

bri16.bsky.social•6 days ago

NO!

stedithstein.bsky.social•6 days ago

We need an African pope. America needs an exorcism

ngamindset.bsky.social•6 days ago

Who really cares what Draymond thinks?

abstutz.bsky.social•6 days ago

Definitely. Keep the NBA all Star game super fresh by continuing to trot out washed up players. It’s been super exciting over the past 2 decades!

abstutz.bsky.social•6 days ago

Especially given the NHLs absolutely outstanding approach to fixing their all star weekend. The 4 Nations has been absolutely amazing!

stlsparty.bsky.social•6 days ago

He’s not wrong

twindadmurray23.bsky.social•5 days ago

Didnt realize he could lift off more than a 14 inch vertical for the dunk contest or win a 3 pt....... oh yea he jump started the Kevin Hart Show during all star weekends.
