32/15/9 as "best" game 7 finals
Never thought this line would be associated with Dray. That's a sick stat line.
Dude showed up while his co-stars kinda 'choked'. Klay got 14 and Curry got 17.
Thats the best game of his career.. now post the stats of other games. He had one great game and they even lost
Not gonna lie, was watching this game and dray was hitting some demoralizing threes. Like straight timeouts after he hits them. I think he as 5/5 from 3 at half
Lebron averaged 30/11/9...
@@chrisj9179 he’s talking about game 7 not averages
As a Clevelander and Cavs fans, I was terrified every time Dray touched the ball in that Game 7. It baffles me he wasn’t getting touches in the last 4 minutes when they couldn’t generate any offense.
They stopped feeding him in the 2nd half. The man had 22 at halftime.
As a Dubs fan we feel the same way whenever Bron touches the ball.
I just said this word for word under someone else’s comment about that game 7 every time he touched it he scored or got an assist
Thank god they stop giving him the ball as a 16 year old at the time i would have cried to months if we lost that game 7
I was like shoot, better him than Curry or Klay.
Just listening to draymond, you forget that he’s only 31 lol
Lol damn these players look old.
At 31 you should be mature and speak great in proper settings
@@johnconner262 what does that even mean that goes without said. Dude was saying draymond seems older just by how he talks lmao. He is 31!
@@moneymoney3235 commenting just to comment lol
@@PRODbyKingDavis literally what u did talking about his age wtf 😂😂😂
That game 7 performance from Draymond actually made me a fan
32/15/9. Last most important game of the year. Insanity.
his defense should be the one tomake you a fan
Theres always 1 MVP and 10 other players yelling that they could of / would of won MVP.
I still wouldn’t call it a top game 7 ever. He not a focused player to give him that credit. He should drop 30 if curry and Thompson was primary option.
He was hoopin lmao I wanted the cavs to win but if he got them the dub I wasn’t gonna complain
Dude could not miss in game 7 and dominant on defense. Amazing game
and they lost owell
Man 5 straight 🤦🏾♂️
@@LuckyJackson2020 so? They were a bucket away from him winning finals MVP
Lebron outplayed him
Yeah man that game 7 was the game of his career most likely, especially given the stage he was on. He was great, Bron was just insane lol.
Thing I remember most about Draymond in Game 7, other than his performance, was that he stuck around afterward to congratulate the Cavaliers on their victory. Not every Warrior did. I thought that showed some class. I don't love everything Draymond does on the court, but he's a stand-up guy.
That’s pretty cool to hear (I didn’t realize that). I am not a Draymond fan but that does make me look at him differently. Classy move
Klay got his feelings hurt and dipped…he straight up disappeared in game 7 during and after the game.
Alot of people still don't know this but he gained the utmost respect from me when he did that especially how passionate he plays the game...
He is in klutch sports lebron his boss.
@@jonathanfan3709 he signed with them after the finals
Dray was so good that 73-9 season was a top 10 mvp candidate and a runner up for dpoy and played well during game 7 of 2016 finals
I Agree that he was one of the best star complementary pieces in history that year... but that year Steph was different (Regular Season) On the final he probably would win MVP
Played way better then well in game 7
dude was carrying the Warriors game 7 lol they should've given him the last shot cause he couldn't miss a 3 that game
Played well is. A understament he was damn near dropping a 30 point triple double while shooting above 45% from 3 and the field smh ...a performance that's prolly going unnoticed till brought up
He definitely woulda been finals mvp. I still remember he shot 3 straight three pointers. He was literally carrying the team those last minutes. He was scary focused on winning.
One of the things that I think is super cool about this whole show JJ has going is how they actually get players to break things down on a technical level. It really strips a lot of the hype and nonsensical analysis that we often see portrayed on ESPN. Rather than get short soundbites out of players you actually get to hear how they actually think about the game when it comes to actual strategy and so forth. Major props.
Yeah man, I love this format. No BS just real talk.
it's nice for fans who appreciate the game and the strategy side of things. ESPN is soap operas for men, all drama. which is fine, but this is refreshing
That's what I like about JJ on ESPN. Guys like Stephen A are fun to watch for hot takes and sensationalism, but JJ's arguments are always backed up by facts and a deep understanding of basketball that comes from years of playing at the highest level.
Is anyone else bothered that Draymond doesn’t fix the microphone cover on his mic? For crying out loud it’s holding on for dear life!!!
Yow broo hahahahahahahahahahahaha
😆😆😆
Mannnn I'm triggered watching it lol
I can’t unsee it now lol
Whyy? Why? Why would you point that out? Now it's bothering the hell out of me.😡
Facts people forget that 2015 series by delly and how impactful he was guarding Stephen, hustling for loose balls, draining 3s, playmaking it was a crazy series for a bench PG
Delly almost died guarding steph.
@@chrisochugbo6286 he literally od’d on caffeine 🤣 dude was nuts
@@himynameiscorey yeap. He left everything n d floor lol
remember steph played on an injured knee
@@chrisochugbo6286 By Game 5 Delly was too tired. He was so gassed those last two games. He wasn't used to that workload on both sides of the floor
Game 7 2016:
*Draymond:* 32 PTS, 15 REB, 9 AST, 2 STL, 2 TOV, 95.5 TS%
*Curry:* 17 PTS, 5 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 4 TOV, 43.7 TS%
*Klay:* 14 PTS, 2 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 3 TOV, 41.2 TS%
Thank you !
So? What about games 1-2-3-4-5-6?
Steph was clearly hurting with his knee injury because throughout that series he underperformed for his standards. He shot his load coming back in the OKC series and barely had any tank left in the finals. Truth be told had Steph never gotten injured GS would have won the title that year without going to a game 7. I'm just glad Steph never used his injury as an excuse unlike other greats that have done it. Cough cough Bron.
OK, that's brazy. Loved seeing them lose that game 7, but respect.
Hold up, 32pts on 96% TS??
Is it fair that I didn't remember Draymond had ever scored 32 because they lost? I remember Curry bricking like 10 times. But not Draymond's 32
Very fair. We didn’t win
What the media hypes up he had a triple double in 2016 game 7 too
Really? His performance was very memorable in Game 7. He hardly missed and kept them in the game.
I remember it vividly. He was really the only warrior that stepped up in that game
How when thats the only reason they were in the game 😂😂
That entire finals Draymond was unreal
Besides that game 6 which was expected
if ya'll remember, Draymond was supposed to be suspended on that OKC series in 2016 for kicking Adams in the groin..they might've lost the game 7 against OKC if Draymond was not there...
Should have been okc vs cleveland
@Kingston Myrick yes
Yeah but of course he didn’t get ejected vs okc when he actually deserves it but when he doesn’t he get ejected because it’s against lebum
@@kronicclaps3579 Draymond should've been suspended against OKC and they would've lost in the conference finals
@@kaitakashi6587 I know
Draymond's mic wearing that scully like T.i in 04
😂🤦🏿♀️❤🙏🏽
The problem with the suspension was that they changed the call the next day. The ref called a common foul on Draymond, and the nba changed it to a flagrant the next day, which made Draymond miss the next game.
Don’t remember that happening any other time in the nba, let alone the finals
Yup, it was really obvious they did it to give Lebron a chance.
@@alejandroserrano7755 hater
@@ImPapehungry Not hating bruh, its literally what happened.
@@alejandroserrano7755 he kicked to many players in the balls. That’s his fault.
I recall that they ruled the foul a technical foul during the game. Draymond already had accumulated enough that it put him over the NBA regulation limit which resulted in a one game suspension. I am not a fan of either team, but I remember thinking it is a well deserved suspension because he built up a bank of techs which to me was poor leadership.
Draymond is the type of player every championship team need to win
@@duganred See pinning Draymond into a ‘role’ player is disrespectful. Its also very ignorant. He literally runs the offense and defense of Golden State. Steph and Klay were able to do their thing thanks to the help Draymond gets them.
@@duganred You clearly don't know basketball lol
@@duganred troll

@@duganred 🤣
Draymond and I live in the same area so we bump into each other sometimes. He is one of the most genuine and down to earth guys I’ve met - there is 100% confidence and 0% cockiness with him. Really enjoyed this interview 💯
Same area?? U must be rich...tell Draymond I need a loan
RdcWorld: “huh, all this for me? Draymond green?”
LMAOOOOOOO "Draymond Green, best player in the world."
“The difference is we had a salary cap spike and got KD”
I have so much respect for Draymond bc he keeps it real and some people don't like it but I like someone isn't afraid to be them
People really forgot that Dray shot the lights out in Game 7, its sad to see how history forgets if your on the losing team.
Not really
I mean they were begging him to shoot because they were worried about curry and Klay not him
I remember that and that's why they led at halftime even with a struggling splash bros
@@adelantericky what are you talking about? Look at his stats for that game.
@@adelantericky his TS% was 96% with 32pts
He's so right that people don't remember how good he was during that Game 7 because they lost. Hearing this now, I remember he had like 5 or 6 straight 3pters in the 1st half. Wow
Then he was the catalyst to recruit KD and lost his offensive edge
@@BingeworthyContent I think the only thing that matters to him is win
@@CarlosEduardo-nj9nz That doesn't mean you lose your edge as a scorer. Keep in mind he was the Top Scorer on some nights before KD got there. He used to hit almost every wide open three back then. If winning matters that much to him, he still would have been working on his offensive game. To fall off like he did with his scoring and shooting is something people don't like to talk about with Draymond. He is an incredible Leader and Defender plus he is a great passer and rebounder but he didn't have to take that much of a backseat scoring when he was so consistent at one point. If Draymond played like he did before KD, they would have that much better of a chance winning the title
If Harrison Barnes would shoot close to his season averages they would win a few championships without Durant and no one would remember Green's ejection
Barnes needed to step up in that moment man. Instead he did the opposite.
Yup. Barnes vanished in that series. He couldn't hit an open jumper to save his life.

@@chinaskibukowski7747 wiggins would never
@@sowishful bron would’ve treated that man too 😂 other then KD or Kawhi whoever was bron matchup would’ve got dominated
I find it surprising and a blessing for the warriors that they’ve been able to keep curry, dray, Klay AND get KD do their business and still have Curry, Klay, Dray. Feels like after a chip or good run players run off for more $$ (which they deserve).
Really enjoyed Mr. Green's commentary during this whole episode.
Amazing interview
I’m starting to like dray now more than ever I hope he keeps on joining these podcasts and takes his way more serious once he retires in the way that he makes it a job you know I know this man will be straight up and tell good hustle stories
People forget Draymond couldn't miss in game 7.
Literally nobody forgot that
And they still lost
They stopped feeding him the ball in the 2nd half. That was always Kerr’s downfall before KD got there. He would never allow the hot hand to continue to shoot.
Game 6, 2016, Klay scores 15 in the 3rd quarter…only get 2 shot attempts in the 4th.
I remember warriors got 3 chances to win too and they still talk about if green was in gave 5 like 6-7 he wasn’t playing 🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️
@@fragranceinc.8868 literally lmao like stop crying 😂

I love this interview so damn much. Super likeable dude
when he speaks about getting loose balls against the cavs I was ready to jump in and follow him - the guy drips charisma
“It’s going to come down to who wants it more by doing all those little things” nice
If it weren't for him kicking people in the nuts or clawing others' eyes out, he might be in my top 5 fav players of all time

He shouldn’t regret it he should regret the bs before the altercation he literally cost them a chip
Exactly.
Nope...he explained it got them 3 more on LABRON Gentlemen sweep and Full Sweep...Just because the NBA help care media Engineered help package for LABRON..🤫🎯
@@MM-pu7yr spelling is hard
nah. andrew bogut out is what cost them the series. No rim protector.
He literally said here, albeit in a roundabout way, that the league went of their way just to suspend him. And it's true, if it's really a flagrant it should've been called in-game or as it happened, not hours later. It was blatantly rigged.
The fact that he acknowledged Kyrie and Kevin were out speaks volumes to how real Draymond is. The last couple of years I’ve gained a lot more respect for Draymond because of these interviews.
And the result of having kd to the team .
@@McLovin25165 He kept it real. A lot of GS fans hate when ppl bring this up.
@@olusimp But Cavs and Bron fanboys also ignore the fact the Cleveland not GS was favored to win the Finals going into the season and should have never been down 3-1 to begin with.

Bigger issue was Bogut. Lebron and Kyrie were free with not crowding the paint
Bugot got injured in that game 5 because green is out. And the momentum change.
@@zs2977 Y'all crying for injuries but kept your mouth shut in 2015 finals when Kyrie and Love were injured. LMAO
Dray described everything PERFECTLY.
that game 7 was crazy bruh it was neck and neck all game
Saying Lebron is “just gonna make a read” is crazy
He say dat cause his team was on Lebron level not necessarily himself so he feel comfortable let him been on another team I doubt he would feel dat way
@BigPro js he’s as smart as Lebron just only a fraction of the talent. He has photographic memory too. Him saying that was valid no matter what team.
Gotta love the editor cutting out the video where it did
He was definitely on one in game 7 Steph and Klay wasted that amazing performance
bro was dueling with lebron, had an incredible game 7
Wouldn’t have been a game 7 if his dumbass didn’t get suspended.

If GS won Dray woulda been finals mvp

And Steph continues to have 0 finals MVP
Straight up draymond has matured to a player I never thought he would become. Seeing him now I can say it has benefited him tremendously
His production has progressively declined since 2016 wym

@@joeyyuhas1863 "he has matured to a player I never thought he would become" were your words. No I couldn't tell because you clearly said player lmao, maybe study some English before commenting lmaooo
So because I said player means he can’t mature on the court as well??? He doesn’t kick people in the nuts and get into stupid fights either. Sorry I didn’t say he matured into the “human being” He is today for the better lol. Ur literally a troll that feels the need to comment on anything people say. Get a life dude and quit living to annoy others.
In retrospect, as a fan I would have preferred they win in 2016, capping the record year, even if they never get KD. They are still even now a top contender even without KD. They may have won another between 2017-19. I'd take my chances.
Missing his nuts or not, the intention was there and that’s why it was assessed as a flagrant. *context is key* The NBA didn’t want headhunting of stars to come back like the 1960s-to-1982 era. (The discretionary power the NBA Refs have in assessing flagrant fouls is ALL on Nike and NBA beat writer’s like Skip Bayless. They started the narrative the Pistons were particularly dirty, because MJ wasn’t getting the calls when he *jumped into* set defenders and then fell. Nor when he pulled his regular season normal “sweep through the handcheck for any contact and immediately try a arm flapping jumper”, and he wasn’t getting that cheap call in the playoffs.
He was just shoving off naturally. He was not aiming for his nuts but the whole Cleveland city cried about it.

Dray any chance you think about playing like game 7 more often than not?
Trying to punch someone is definitely a flagrant even if you miss
His game 7 performance was outstanding but it shouldn't have got to that point they were up 3-1 in the series.
Facts that was crazy the damn near was swept
They were up against not only LeFraud, but the commissioner as well.
He literally said here, albeit in a roundabout way, that the league went out of their way just to suspend him. And it's true, if it's really a flagrant it should've been called in-game or as it happened, not hours later after the game. In game 6 the refs also took out Steph. The series was blatantly rigged no thanks to LeFraud's bff Adam.
@@JohnnyBGood-vm7rx HAHAHAHAHA. If adam wanted to, they could have easily suspended Curry. What Curry did was an easy suspension.
@@zx5584 Well they should have, they already connived to take Steph out in game 6, and the damage was already done- they fouled him out for the "most softest" fouls ever on a very physical finals series. Suspending him would just put more of an asterisk on LeFraud's ring, oh man I wish they would have.
@@zx5584 Oh and btw, if you've been watching lately the dumpster fire that is the Fakers- they have been getting alot of very favorable calls. Even LeFraud was able to overturn a call just by whining to the refs. There's alot of videos of it here if you missed it out. And people still denying it's not rigged is mind-boggling.

I love how bro articulates his every thought. He definitely would've been MVP btw.
If the warriors won game 7, Draymond would’ve won FMVP
Perfect cut at the end 👌😂
That's a bold thumbnail
Draymond is so humble…
The amount things that just had to go wrong for the warriors just to get to a game 7 is actually crazy. Still think Warriors would’ve won back to back there if both years if both teams had a full roster
That’s wild you have that opinion, Kyrie was winning his matchup against Curry before he went down. I think it’s fair to say if at full strength in the 2015 Finals the Cavs win easily.
The year where Kevin love and kyrie went down with injuries, they’re beating the warriors in the finals easy
I think the cavs would have won 2015 and warriors 2016 . Lebron alone wa giving them trouble in 15 so imagine if love and kyrie were playing every game.
Bruh Cleveland wins easily in 2015 if kyrie don’t go down
I dont know how anyone can say that the Cavs would win easily in 15, when they were getting starched in 16, and it took a myriad of things to happen just for them to get to game 7, and it still took a awesome shot by Kyrie to win. Yall are tripping. And Curru was still injured in that series.
draymond punched that mic
He talks about “if I won finals mvp”, yet he talked about Paul Pierce like he isn’t a great player, and yet, Paul is a finals mvp. This man is a walking contradiction 😂
Lebron tried to literally walk over Draymond. To this day I don't think he should've been suspended
Should have been a Tec for taunting on LeBron
Dray hit 3 players in the balls in 3 separate series in that playoff run, amongst other dirty plays. He had to be suspended.

@2:50 That might have been a factor, but I feel like Curry catching on fire is the real reason for the turn around lol. At the end of game 3 Curry made some shots, and I remember thinking Cavs are in big trouble because they were contested hard 3s he was missing the whole time.
Look at cohost, he’s like this is more than we expected
you were suspended because they let you slide against OKC
I really thought that he would have won finals MVP after a Great performance in Game 7
This guy is saying he's glad they lost the 2016 finals, gave up a 3-1 lead to cavs as the greatest NBA team of all time... just so they could get snake KD and get their rings the shitty way.
They had my respect but I couldn’t show them it til once the beef was over , that GS is the best team in basketball history.
I always say that 2016 finals went the way it should. Lebron better than Steph Kyrie better than Klay and Love is better than Dray sorry.
Nothing but facts at lebron wouldve been number 1, curry number 2, kyrie number 3 and quite close to curry, love and klay could be interchanged between 4th and 5th and Draymond definitely 6th and cavs could've won the 2015 finals if love and kyrie didn't get hurt, so that argument that bron came back from 3 - 1 against the best team ever doesnt hold they may have had the best regular season record but that warriors team without KD ain't even amongst the top 10 best teams of all time. Cavs were the much better side in both 2015 and 2016, they only lost 2015 due to injuries.
@@charismaadugyamfi760 if cavs won in 2015, warriors would def have won in 2016. There would be no 3-1 lead. But again that's just if
If he was to win 2 nba finals MVP he still wouldn’t be in my top 75
The fact that Kerr stopped feeding Draymond after the first half still baffles me
Delly really left an impression on the warriors due to that finals series
I have a lot of respect for Draymond and I love his game, I think he deserves more love he's a really incredible player. With that being said, I don't agree with his assertion that the fact that he missed in his attempt to hit Lebron means it shouldn't be a flagrant foul. IMO, if you throw a punch at someone it should be a flagrant foul whether you hit them or not - the intent in and of itself is flagrant. I think that would apply to what Draymond did - just my opinion though
thats fair
Delle was cooking curry for a couple games that series !
That game 7 was legit. But it showed the dubs had a weak link on the team... And Harrison Barnes did not play up to snuff, so given the choice between Barnes or KD
JJ feeling nice in the beginning 😂
32 15 and 9??? 😳 danggggg Draymond was playing like a my team card 😂😂😂 he activated all the park cards and all the Gatorade boosts lol
Dray really made some great points and had some great insight
He’s defiantly the key to that warriors team and should be top 75. He always is good on D and as a big man can run an offense. But he defiantly did those make his bed to get suspended being the player he was.
Draymond is a first ballot HOFer regardless no debate. He has the stats and accolades to back it up. Steph and Klay both went on record and mentioned how Dray is the heart and soul of the team. You’re much appreciated and respected Draymond
Steph stats first 5 games 22, 5, 5,
Draymond first 4 games 15, 9, 5
Lets say GSW win game 5 with Draymond playing he would have have needed like 40, 10, 8 in game 5 for him to even be considered fmvp.
Love you dray but you are dead wrong here
Remember Iguodala won the FMVP trophy?
the narrative would've been that golden state needed Green to win. He gets suspended and they lose games. He comes back and they're winning again. If they win game 7, all eyes would be on him and he had the best performance. He's not wrong in saying he had a good chance of getting fmvp.
Steph was getting his soft layups blasted off the backboard by lebron like every game that year.. so no finals mvp for steph..
@@JulienKenny
That's another reason that is in Steph's advantage for winning the fmvp, would they really not give their absolute best player fmvp 2 years in a row?
No way Draymond would’ve been finals MVP and voters would’ve never allowed the same thing with Iggy to happen again after all the commentary over why Steph didn’t get it.
I’m one of the folks that also say that Draymond is the reason they lost the series. First because he was out of control and got countless unnecessary fouls and had the big head and came in shooting everything. The team was out of sync because Draymond tried to be Steph because of his ego. He didn’t play the way they were supposed to. Klay has a tendency to do it as well where they think the whole game is on them and shoot everything and they usually lose those games.
I still like Draymond but we can all believe the hype too much about ourselves at times. By the way Iggy wasn’t top 75 and he has the FMVP and more all stars and accolades than Draymond.
Lebron dropped 41 the game dray missed. Then dropped 41 again the next game dray came back. He obviously wasn’t the difference maker y’all thought he was😂
Bro I was saying the same thing😂 like they do understand that dray was there for 3 of their 4 losses right💀
Only he thinks that 🤡 too much ego this guy

@@devinsmart1547 You must not be too bright. After that injury he was never the same again just like Cousins. Quick Google search would tell you he retired 3 years ago with the Warriors. His main value didn't come from scoring but from his defensive presence which played a big part in Warriors quick rise to the top.
We talk about LeBron 2011 choke job but man the way Curry choke in 2016 Finals was crazy
He was playing with a knee injury but keep on being ignorant
@@t3jf lies he seemed okay when he said I’m back in the Blazers series. Stop with those excuses.
@@RiruKrypto_ players can come back to early and reinjure or play when not fully healthy. Which is what happen. No excuses at all but keep on being delusional. Remember when lebron activated playoff mode and Lakers actually played worse sliding to the bottom of the league. I guess he activated no heart swept mode.
@@t3jf still a choke job
Hey JJ, who do you think will be in the NBA Finals this year?
It would have definitely looked better for you guys if you would have won without kd than with him. You guys were that good you didn't really need him. Yes you won with kd but that was a given and it really wasn't impressive.
Yup
They literally won without kd the season before
@@andrijastimac8548 they're talking about the dynasty and what it would stand for without kd
@@andrijastimac8548 we all know that. I was commenting off of what he commented on in the video.
Imo people get too caught up. The end goal is championship, that’s it.
How do you give a guy a flagrant foul for a missed swing to get LeBron James off his shoulder? The NBA wanted a game 7 and they got what they wanted!!! 😢
And Draymond played his best game ever in game 7 and they still lost lol. That’s the funny part 😂. It just wasn’t meant to be that year.
@@datsapaddlin6449 Andre was having back spasms and don't forget Andrew went down when Draymond was suspended. So the team was different. But it worked out we won 2 more times and LeBron got his 3rd. Warriors are about to run the total up to 6+ tho. Then they gonna have to re-address Steph and Splash bro + Draymond Greatness
@@larenzobinns1723 NOBODY talks about Andre’s back!!!!!
@@larenzobinns1723 the reason Draymond got suspended cuz of the tech limit he had over the playoffs, in fact he should of gotten suspended in that OKC game where he kicked Steven Adams it could of been OKC vs the cavs
Can we appreciate how JJ allows his guest to speak? Picks the right moment to return a question/statement. Unlike these folks on First Take who loves to hear them selves talk.
Talent is what it all comes down to im glad he was speaking facts
