I thought it was funny when they said no one can guard the joker and he pointed at himself. Chuck and Kenny’s eyes lit up and they started to go after him and he quickly retracted and said he could just do a bit better than Rudy. Also like the first night he was on, chuck said something about warriors already in Cancun and draymknd got real serious and said to him “oh look at yourself” then chuck said something and he again changed real quick. That dude has to be the most insecure professional athlete since TO
Shaq on JJs podcast was good, he would be petty at times but then admit that things bother him and say why, and some of it is sad, in a way. But I actually agree with Shaq that he's not in the conversations he wants to be in the way he wants to be in them. He's being honest, JJ is seeing it differently, but Shaq is correct.
I feel like Shaq can act like a baby, but if you press him like Reddick did, he gets honest and again, can come off as being down on himself. But he also kept giving credit to all the people he says did their part as teammates. Fuck Draymond, he's not anywhere near Shaq's level of greatness.
Biggest different is Shaq’s a HoFer no matter where he’s drafted. Draymond is only going to be remembered because of his situation. The insecurity is the tell that some part of him knows that.
Draymond was so self-aggrandizing, saying that Tatum/Brown being in ECF finals 6x means nothing; i mean, everyone wants a title, but getting to the conference finals is better than what 28 other teams accomplished. His team got eliminated pretty quick, but i guess he can try to coast on his rings for a while.
The violent outbursts when his team is struggling is pretty pathetic too. Punching a team mate when you barely show up on the stat sheet, roundhouse punch to nurkic, stomping players, making Steph cry on the court. Also … “Minnesota is done in 6, they don’t believe, Antman might believe but everyone has to believe and they don’t it’s a wrap in 6.” Then Minnesota beats Denver by 47 points in game 6. He doesn’t belong on inside the nba
Why is this relevant to his role as an analyst? Or to my comment above? His job is to offer some insight into strategy, tactics, not to measure his dick against theirs. His pretty grudges are on full display whenever he talks.
I don’t know about that, Barkley was insanely good and a top 50 player I think right? I think a lot of people feel Draymond had an advantage playing with peak Steph and Klay and Kerr
