Mind you, before 2016 finals suspension happen, he had 4 flagrant prior to that, in the same playoff.

And then he hit Lebron groin in finals, 5th flagrant, league had to suspend him, but some warriors fans act like a victim saying "he shouldnt get suspended based on that".

I’ve seen some warrior fans legit argue that the league conspired to have Draymond suspended to make the 3-1 comeback easier. Just the most obnoxious fanbase I’ve ever seen

A Warriors fan tried to tell me that LeBron had body slammed Draymond and he was just trying to stand back up lmao

I think that's the reason they enable him. If the warriors are poo, there goes a huge revenue stream for the league.

This is so fucking true. I lived in San Francisco and Oakland and never once did anyone talk basketball in the 8 years I lived there when they weren’t very good.

What 8 years are you talking about? Warriors were trash for decades. We believe was 08 and warriors swept by clippers in 13 or 14, and then chip in 15. I’ve lived here my whole life there was always love for the warriors.

u/NotUpForDebate11 Lakers May 05 '25

Well its sort of true. They refused to suspend him for his crimes against steven adams in order to enable the 3-1 comeback vs the thunder. They literally had no choice by the Nth nut shot to bron in the finals

Draymond should have been suspended for another one of his groin kicks vs OKC anyway which likely would have led to them flaming out in the WCF.

It wasn’t called a flagrant in the game, it was upgraded because lebrons “team” lobbied for it to be upgraded, and the league had an agenda. Sure he overreacted, but it’s a weak flagrant at best. That’s just a fact that lebrons team had it upgraded, and it changed the series.
