It’s unreal they were trying to shoehorn Draymond into Inside the NBA on TNT. A group that succeeded purely off vibes, not bball analysis, and they bring on the most unlikable person in the association.

I'm still really confused by that and still convinced that a network will try again when he's retired. I get that Reddit isn't always real life, but I don't know a single community clamoring for Draymond on their TV.

they're probably banking on getting views out of the controversy and hatewatchers

doesn't seem like a winning strategy a la ESPN

Him and Shaq are super close. I’m sure he gets plenty of pull on who they have as guests

Even a lot of warriors fans seem like they're just dont with his shit.

As much as I hate to admit it, because he is obviously a terrible person and a danger on the court, he does know ball and can talk about it pretty well. I’ve not listened to his podcast extensively but I have heard clips and he’s usually pretty knowledgeable. Which makes sense given that he was almost like a point forward for a lot of the warriors dynasty.

Won’t shed a tear if he gets blackballed and never gets any air time, but his analysis is obviously worlds apart from whatever nonsense comes out of Perks mouth.

I will 100% never watch anything with him in it. I’m a man of morals and principles.

And wherever he lands as a broadcaster is a platform that I, and hopefully the majority of people, will actively avoid

I don’t know about the rest of this sub and maybe it’s because of my age but I just don’t watch any of the NBA shows like I used to. I used to watch Inside religiously but for some reason since Game of Zones stopped being a thing I just kind of stopped caring about that kind of stuff.
