Connected nicely. Good form.

Someone needs to be fired for leaking that vid though. That's highly unprofessional.

Just because you think he should have been ready, doesnt negate the fact that he wasnt. Him not being ready in fact makes it a sucker punch.

Fair enough. I just think most fights start with a shove and you gotta get your hands up if you gonna shove someone. As usual - all offense and no defense from Poole.

The part you are missing is Draymond got into his face. That started it, not the push.

just my opinion.

That's true. I agree with that. Draymond has always been an instigator and when someone responds - he loses his head.

My original point was - imo it's not a sucker punch if you shove someone.

Draymond is whack regardless.

Draymond is a b***h

I can't believe you all are arguing over what constitutes a "sucker punch" lulz

Its's early October. Arguing preseason.

There are clowns who are blaming Lebron and Klutch for Draymond's behavior lool

Olajuwon or Ewing.. LBJ overrated here as usual..

I am far from a Lebron fan, but he is easily the greatest prospect entering the NBA of all time.

Uhh ya agreed.

Bron's #1 imo. At 16 he was already on covers on national magazines. Kareem, Hakeem, close 2nd.

Oden also deserves those mentions too, he just couldn't get over his injuries.

That's all true but I can see a GM or two taking Wembanyama over Lebron if they were in the same draft class - especially back in 2003. Draft is about maximum potential and I can see them thinking size is size. I mean - some GM took Darko over Melo in 2003.

Wembanyama looks amazing. He's gotta stay healthy and stay focused on ball and he's gonna be a superstar. He's like a combo of Gobert, Durant & Dirk but taller, bigger arms, and hands. Players will always cont. to get bigger, faster, and more physically dominating.

3-4 years down the road - some doods gonna be like - yea he's amazing but could he have survived the "physical era" of 80s and 90s though? lool

He's 7-4 at 18? Dang he might top out at 7-6/7-7 when it's all said and done. Hopefully he can stay relatively healthy for the duration of his bball career.

Best prospects I can recall, no particular order, were Kareem, Robinson, Shaq and Lebron

He shoved him to get him off his chest and out of his face. This was all Draymond, like it always is with his 'incidents'.

Tim Duncan was also one of the greatest prospects entering NBA.

Do think Lebron and Wembanyama are diff in one sense - they were 18 and didn't have 3-4 years of college tape. So, teams are going gaga over them without 3-4 years of college tape. That's even more special imo. Though I have also read that Wilt and Kareem were very highly regarded prospects at age 18-19 as well - but don't know if they would have been drafted no. 1 at age 18.
