Speaker 1: Welcome to The Draymond Green Show Special one. This is
Speaker 1: an emergency pot in the six FIFTHPM live from my
Speaker 1: hotel room and beautiful with Memphis, Tennessee. Uh Dubs just
Speaker 1: gotta win. And I know that's why everyone is here,
Speaker 1: because y'all are looking for my breakdown on the game
Speaker 1: and what I saw right. No, you're here to listen.
Speaker 1: You want to hear my thoughts and my take on
Speaker 1: the infamous Draymond Green ejection from game one of round two.
Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, I think my take
Speaker 1: on it maybe a little different than your take or
Speaker 1: not but there will be for all of our listeners,
Speaker 1: are our great listeners who's been tuned in, all your
Speaker 1: incredible supporters who we appreciate. There will still be the
Speaker 1: Draymond Green Show where we really discussed Game one of
Speaker 1: the Dubs versus the Grizzlies, where we really dive into
Speaker 1: Game one of the Celtics versus the Bucks, and the
Speaker 1: Bucks are up one. Oh. We'll also talk about my
Speaker 1: projections and what I think of the other sit reads,
Speaker 1: which is the Phoenix Suns versus the Dallars Mavericks, and
Speaker 1: which is Miami Heat versus the Philadelphia Seventies six years.
Speaker 1: But before we go to that later in the week,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the ejection and might take on it.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it amazing when um, I think tonight
Speaker 1: our guys show that we're you know, we're we're battle tested.
Speaker 1: You know, we've been through the wringer, We've been through
Speaker 1: the ups and downs. We know how it feels to win,
Speaker 1: we know how it feels to lose, and God's stuck
Speaker 1: with it no matter how the night was going, not
Speaker 1: much when our way, but God's stuck with it. Now,
Speaker 1: let's now let's really talk about what everyone's here for what.
Speaker 1: You know, what everyone wants to talk about, which is
Speaker 1: me getting ejected for. I'm not quite sure for what,
Speaker 1: but um for a file. UM very interesting one. You know.
Speaker 1: You know one thing about that file is I actually
Speaker 1: tried to hold him up, and I was well, I
Speaker 1: wasn't told anything because I left the court, but guys
Speaker 1: were told I was. I was ejected for throwing him down,
Speaker 1: which is very interesting because I mean, even once he
Speaker 1: hit the ground, I still was holding his jersey up.
Speaker 1: But I mean, at this point, I kind of expect
Speaker 1: things like that, Like I've been suspended from Game five
Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals. Do you do you think I
Speaker 1: for one second don't believe I would get kicked out
Speaker 1: of game one of the second round. Not surprising to
Speaker 1: me at all, not, not not one bit. So you know,
Speaker 1: when when they reviewed the file for as long as
Speaker 1: they reviewed it, I said to myself, I said, I wonder,
Speaker 1: what could they be deciding that's possibly going to take
Speaker 1: this long. I'm actually dumb enough to think I wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna get a flavor of one. Talk about an idiot,
Speaker 1: You wanna call anybody an idiot? Look no further than
Speaker 1: Draymond a Green himself, because I was I mean, I
Speaker 1: was literally sitting there, like, you know, it's crazy, as
Speaker 1: I was about to start dancing to the crowd saying
Speaker 1: kick him out, kick him out, to taunt them, because
Speaker 1: it's like kick him out for that. So I was
Speaker 1: about to start dancing, and when I was literally starting
Speaker 1: to edge up out the scores table, something said to me,
Speaker 1: but it's you involved in this play, Draymond. So because
Speaker 1: it's you involved in this play, you probably shouldn't dance,
Speaker 1: because you probably should always expect the unexpected. And so
Speaker 1: the little birdie that sits on my shoulder nowadays told me,
Speaker 1: just wait a second, don't get up and dance and
Speaker 1: make fun of them, because if you get up and
Speaker 1: dance and make fun of them, sure enough, you're then
Speaker 1: not expecting the unexpected. And if you're not expecting the unexpected,
Speaker 1: very soon they'll probably be able to make fun of you.
Speaker 1: And so I sat there and then the official turn
Speaker 1: he had a hard time tell. He said, and it's
Speaker 1: going to be a flagrant, and like long, Paul, like
Speaker 1: pause two. He didn't even want to say it was
Speaker 1: gonna be a flagrant too, which was very interesting, to me,
Speaker 1: because again I am dumb enough to think that it
Speaker 1: would not even be a flavor one. That you know,
Speaker 1: the playoffs are a little tougher and not as soft
Speaker 1: as the regular season, you know, and that um, you know,
Speaker 1: you can you can bump a little more and you
Speaker 1: get away with a little more, you know. Like, but
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen questionable cause in the first first round,
Speaker 1: some things that didn't get reviewed, and yeah, I guess it,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I guess it's just a case by
Speaker 1: case thing. It's you know, it's a reputation thing. I
Speaker 1: think tonight it was probably a reputation reputation thing more
Speaker 1: so than um, a hard file. You know. Now, my
Speaker 1: biggest worry moving forward is that gives me two flavor
Speaker 1: of file points, and as we know, I've been ejected
Speaker 1: for accumulation of flavor file points. So my hope is
Speaker 1: that the right thing will happen and that will at
Speaker 1: least get rescinded to a flavoring one. Because a flagrant too,
Speaker 1: I mean unnecessary contact. I can't quite say it was
Speaker 1: unnecessary because I was trying to stop him from making
Speaker 1: a bucket and getting the hand one, so I can't
Speaker 1: quite say it was unnecessary excessive. I didn't even really
Speaker 1: make contact with the guy's body, so excessive would be
Speaker 1: a bit extreme. If a guy is flying off a
Speaker 1: one leg, then maybe you say, all right, he was
Speaker 1: in an unsafe position and you know he couldn't protect himself.
Speaker 1: Flagrant too. A guy jumping off two feet straight up
Speaker 1: and down who then sells a file and dive to
Speaker 1: the floor, can't quite say he was in an unsafe position.
Speaker 1: So I guess my me trying to explain this, this
Speaker 1: flagrant foul to you, your guess is just as good
Speaker 1: as mine, because by definition, if we go through the
Speaker 1: definition of a flagrant to foul, I'm not sure that
Speaker 1: that play would quite be the definition of a flagrant file.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it would meet that criteria. So and
Speaker 1: this one, you know, I always say, you know, so
Speaker 1: many people talk about basketball and they don't really know basketball.
Speaker 1: And you know, like I studied basketball daily for hours
Speaker 1: and hours and hours, and Joe Blow thinks he knows
Speaker 1: basketball as good as me because he watches NBA games.
Speaker 1: You know, I always speak on that. Well, here I
Speaker 1: must tell you that me and you and whoever else
Speaker 1: are all on a level playing field. Here, which means
Speaker 1: you don't know and I don't know, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: keep it that way because even the explanation I got,
Speaker 1: I still don't understand it. So I think in this
Speaker 1: one situation, are I accused our understanding? They're all on
Speaker 1: a level playing field, We're right in the same spot.
Speaker 1: Maybe someone can hashtag the Draymond Green Show for our
Speaker 1: mailbattery part of this week's show, because oh, don't get
Speaker 1: it twisted. This is just an emergency pod because the
Speaker 1: streets want to hear about the ejection. The streets want
Speaker 1: to hear how the doves end up still pulling it off.
Speaker 1: So this is just an emergency pot for all, for
Speaker 1: all of the Draymond Green Show listeners, um, the ones
Speaker 1: who supported us all year, who we greatly appreciate. We
Speaker 1: don't take that for granted at all. This is just
Speaker 1: an emergency pod for you to hear my side of things,
Speaker 1: which is kind of like your side of things. You're confused.
Speaker 1: I'm confused, and that's just that. Now. What I will
Speaker 1: say is kudos to my brother my brothers for going
Speaker 1: out and no matter what, still getting the job done
Speaker 1: against all odds, um, you know, against whoever else was
Speaker 1: against us. That's for you to decide. They got it done.
Speaker 1: We got it done. And it was such a beautiful
Speaker 1: thing to see Jordan's pool go out have a huge game.
Speaker 1: Steph Curry come out in the second half and go
Speaker 1: lights out, and Clay Thomps and to be shooting miserably
Speaker 1: after sitting the entire first half pretty much, and then
Speaker 1: hit the big one because that's what Clay Thompson does.
Speaker 1: And you know, I was sitting in the back in
Speaker 1: the locker room and before he caught the ball when
Speaker 1: they swung it to him, I said, and hair is
Speaker 1: the one. Har's the one right here? Because that's what
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson does. Clay Thompson makes big shots. We've seen
Speaker 1: that play over and over again where Clay Thompson catches
Speaker 1: that and he knocks it down right on the wing
Speaker 1: kind of the wing slide area. We've seen that over
Speaker 1: and over again. Now, what I do have to talk
Speaker 1: to Clay Thompson about is these miss free throws. Um.
Speaker 1: I also need to talk to Steph Curry about these
Speaker 1: miss free throws, Like, what's going on with with my guys?
Speaker 1: They miss free throws? And you know, Clay missed too.
Speaker 1: But and typical clay fashion and being the biggest competitor
Speaker 1: that I've ever stepped on the basketball court with, including myself,
Speaker 1: um and typical clay fashion. What did he do? He
Speaker 1: goes and get to stop and we go on home
Speaker 1: wigs with a big box out so they didn't get
Speaker 1: a quick putback, a quick tipping. I mean, God stepped
Speaker 1: up to the plate and it was such a beautiful
Speaker 1: thing to see. But back to what you're here for,
Speaker 1: which is the the file. I'm not so sure I
Speaker 1: want I want to refer to it as a flag
Speaker 1: and file because I'm not sure it really meets the
Speaker 1: criteria for a flaging file. And if it does means
Speaker 1: the criteria for a flaging file, I definitely can't call
Speaker 1: it a flagrant too. I just can't do that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've seen flagrant twos, and I mean even you know,
Speaker 1: even even with my reputation, like I don't, I don't
Speaker 1: knock the fact that I have a reputation in this
Speaker 1: league and and that I will get the benefit of
Speaker 1: the doubt the opposite way. I don't. I don't knock
Speaker 1: that one bit. I understand that the last thing I
Speaker 1: am is an idiot that doesn't understand that. Like and
Speaker 1: so I understand that. But I'm not even sure by
Speaker 1: my standards that i have to live up to on
Speaker 1: a basketball court. I'm not even sure I can really
Speaker 1: refer to it as a flagrant too. Even if I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, but your Draymond and it's a little different,
Speaker 1: I can't say that that I'm I'm going to refer
Speaker 1: to as a flagrant too. And now again, reputations are earned.
Speaker 1: I love my reputation. It's gotten me where I am.
Speaker 1: It's got me three NBA championships, has got me a
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year award, has got me for
Speaker 1: All Stars. It has made me who I am in
Speaker 1: the NBA, coming from a thirty fifth pick, who should
Speaker 1: who they said would never play a day in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Here I am in your team, still sitting here in
Speaker 1: front of you, um, still playing, and you watch me
Speaker 1: on your TV screen in your living room, You come
Speaker 1: to games, you wash them. So I appreciate my reperence sation.
Speaker 1: I'm not want to shy away from it. I know
Speaker 1: what it is, and that reputation is hard to earn,
Speaker 1: you know. And I saw Dennis Robin get ejected for
Speaker 1: files that probably um Luke Longley wouldn't have got ejected for.
Speaker 1: You know, I I've seen that, And so I've seen
Speaker 1: Rashid Wallace get ejected for things that um Corlis Williams
Speaker 1: said wouldn't have got ejected for. Like you know, I've
Speaker 1: seen stuff like that over and over against But I
Speaker 1: am I am an NBA UM fan. I am a
Speaker 1: basketball fan. So I've watched basketball and been a fan
Speaker 1: since I was a kid. So I remember seeing those
Speaker 1: guys get ejected for things that maybe another guy wouldn't
Speaker 1: have got ejected for. And the reality is they earned
Speaker 1: that reputation. But guess what, to me, that's a that
Speaker 1: that's that's a badge of honor. Like I don't, I
Speaker 1: earned my reputation. I appreciate my reputation. I'm never gonna
Speaker 1: shy away from it, and most importantly, I am never
Speaker 1: gonna stop being Draymond Green. Now, what I will say
Speaker 1: is I'm looking forward to see Earlier I said I
Speaker 1: will say I hope it gets rescinded. Now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say I'm looking forward to it getting rescinded. And that's
Speaker 1: your emergency. Draymond Green Show Live from my hotel room
Speaker 1: in Memphis. It's a rap. I'll see you guys later
Speaker 1: this week. Until then, peace,
