The biggest shocker from the 2022–2023 NBA season was the leaked video of Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole in the face during practice. The two have still not mended their relationship. This was apparent after the recent comments made by Draymond Green. Although Green did not directly mention Poole, he said just enough for the people to assume what he meant.

It is common for players to argue with each other, but rarely do we see players throwing punches on the court. After spending 16 years in the NBA and having his fair share of animosity with his team, 7x champion Robert Horry revealed his thoughts on Draymond Green’s new comments.

During a recent episode of the Big Shot Bob podcast, Robert Horry was asked how much it affects a player if they don’t like a teammate. This was based on the recent comments made by Draymond Green on the current condition of the Golden State Warriors.

Horry said, “For me, it was a joy to go to work because I had no beef with the team. I had no beef with the players it was just Danny Ainge.” Horry revealed that when he was playing for the Phoenix Suns, he could not stand Danny Ainge. He has had problems with some players, but it was never as serious as throwing punches at their faces.

If Horry did not like a player, he apparently would just avoid them. But Draymond wanted to shut people down, so he punched Jordan Poole in the face. Robert Horry wants them to move on from what happened, and he wants to give no attention to Draymond’s new comments.

Horry said, “I don’t think what Draymond is talking about is worth talking about anything because you move on from that, and it is what it is, man.

 

According to Horry, Draymond is still making subtle digs at Jordan Poole although the team has traded him. Horry wants Green to stop doing it and look to his future.

Draymond Green blamed Jordan Poole

Green recently, in an interview, said that it was hard for him to come to work last year. He said the team was pathetic in terms of chemistry between the players. But this year, Green feels like everyone is happy to be on the team and to come to work.

The issues between Poole and Green were never rectified. But now that Poole is no longer on the team, Green is happy to come to work.

Steve Kerr does not agree with Draymond Green’s comments. Kerr clarified Poole was one of the key pieces to them winning a championship, and he deserves no blame. Kerr then said that the issues surrounding the team came from other reasons.

I did not follow the traditional route to become a journalist, but my love for basketball and writing has brought me here. Seeing LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers make the iconic comeback from a 1-3 deficit in 2016 changed everything for a young engineering aspirant within me. Rather than simply looking at the game, I love to analyze how each player contributes to a team using BPM (Box Plus Minus) and other advanced metrics.
