All Star Weekend from San Francisco: Rising Stars, 3-point Contest, Dunk Contest, All Star Game

Remember when Kevin Hart beat Draymond Green in the three point shootout?
Lol good times. I think I could beat him on a good day. And im almost 50 and never play basketball anymore. He is an nba player who probably plays basketball pretty much every day.

Perkins at least is kinda the bumbling idiot. Draymond is the guy who's like "basketball is boring and this format is stupid, also eff these kids and the warriors are winning the title". Just some serious main character stuff.

Perkins is the worst kind of takester: the guy who says purposively dumb, provocative crap just to provoke a reaction. He can't possibly believe all the shiite he says, or can he? He's no better than some run-of-the-mill troll on any random social media site, except that he gets paid millions to say the same type of crap.

And, don't get me started on Stephen A. There's no opinion that he can't shout. Whereas ESPN used to feature reasonably serious guys who delivered reasonably serious and informative sports news, now it's the denizen of takester "personalities" who wouldn't recognize nuance if it wore a glowing purple bunny suit and bit them on the arse.

Oscar Robertson's reaction to Draymond calling NBA games boring: 'it might be boring to him, because if he's not passing to Curry what is he doing?'

Jordan Poole was correct, Draymond is a backpack for #30. He's the quintessential system player. He luckily found himself playing in the one system where he could thrive and playing with the one person who could carry him to the the heights he reached. Without #30, Draymond would have been an OK starter or quality role player but not a star and most certainly not the Hall-of-Fame player he's destined to be. His stats without Curry are meh, at best: 8.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and and 5.9 assists and a 50-73 record. Sure, his defense is good, but not THAT good to propel him to HOF status on his own. Bottom line: Draymond is a good player made great because he played with other great players, and one in particular, that elevated his game. In any other system, playing with any other players, his career would likely be over and forgotten by now.
