Thankful uh to play in a league with a commissioner like Adam uh who’s more about helping you than hurting you or helping you than punishing you or you know he’s more about the players and so I’m very lucky to have or to be in a position to be under the guidance of an
Adam Silver of a Joe Dum Mars of uh someone who’s been really close to me hand in hand throughout as I’ve been walking through this Bob Myers and for the first five seven days of this thing I talk to him two two times a day

Oh look, glorified Anthony Tolliver is back. And he's bootlicking the commissioner, only thing left in his "rehab" is to cut that Phizer ad or will it be Draft Kings?
LMAO I don't even know what I just watched, I definitely don't understand it… Some how Draymond is the victim and deserves a pitty party? I'm scratching my head.
This surface level self reflection is laughable. How hard is it to not assault your coworkers. I didn’t hear any accountability, any apology or anything that could make the situation better. He just decided when the heat was on him for his own idiotic actions his first thought was to tuck his tail and run. Lost a ton of respect for him after this
Man, you need to apologize, change, play the game cleanly. If you cannot do that, just retire.
Do everyone a favour and retire. Please but don't do it for the people do it for Golden State and for NBA bro please. Thats honestly the most sincere apology you could give us and just believe in the next people in the come up and give them a chance man.
Tired to see this guy say its too much !!!!
You’re not the victim here yousuf is, Rudy is!!!!!!
Hahaha triple single go cry soyboy
Retire and be happy. The game is too much for you.
Probably jes retire
This mf really from Saginaw 😭
Look. Anyone who knows a little bit about human psychology should know the reasons to all of Draymond's actions. Draymond is obviously not taught well when he was growing up and hasn't gotten enough affection as a kid. This grew him to become mentally ill and insecure. Unlike other confident people, he needs to assert himself as the "man" in many different ways like "acting" masculine, showing how "tough" you are, bullying others and trying to use his fists or violent action unnecessarily to make himself feel stronger than others. The insecurities also made him a sociopath and he wouldn't mind putting others down or hurting others to make himself feel more above them, hence the continuous acts of violence and unnecessary aggression towards others every time he has the chance. Look how he judges others, but is unable to really self-reflect on himself. This habit can't be fixed because he grew up with it, but it can temporarily last as long as he is hurt detrimentally from the consequences of his actions. However, this can't be because he is already financially sufficient for the rest of his life and his media power allows him to make excuses and cry about it to get his position back easily. He knows how to manipulate it into his way. That's why he needs a strong enough suspension or punishment to at least acknowledge he is wrong. Unfortunately, the league is babying him like the baby he is with these weak fines and minor suspensions. He's already back and look how he just threatened to retire (only for show) to get his position back. I am really disappointed in how the league is actually handling this. I'm sure they're not that stupid not to realize this, but they just don't care about the other players and they just want us to forget these things and move on.
Draymond you have real supporters with you the whole way..💯🙏🏾
U are not a kid. U r responsible for your actions. Do not circling around the issue… Own it. U did what u did n u were wrong. Apologize sincerely n move on. Do not do it again. OWN IT.
You crazy get help
League told him to stop punching and choking people and bro said it was too much for him😂😂😂 Can’t believe he pulled the victim card on this one
It's like if Dennis Rodman woke up 'Woke' one day.
Dude you fucked up. Lose the drama, put your head down, and move on. You're embarrassing all of your loyal teammates.
Like if Draymond needs to offer a real full apology
I don't blame you Dray…. very underappreciated right now, people don't know how physical the NBA is… gonna play you out the second you get heated but I know the passion you play with is what makes you one of the best defensive players of all time
It's too much he wants to retire 😅why because you can't hit opponents or choke out opponents 😅man stop it
Welcome back !!!! It will be alright 😁😁😁😁😁
adam treating him like he was mj, anything for warriors just to succeed
So we’re supposed to feel sorry for you? Lol
Retire
This the same dude that said regular people couldn’t be in the NBA because they wouldn’t even make it to the game 😂. As if most of us don’t have to commute to work. Dude is delusional.
I hope he read the comments and reflect. Maybe he should retire
This dude is on some 🤡 $h!+!
