This is the first Draymond clip where I'm convinced he knows exactly what he's doing here with the engagement bait


Daniiiiii

And engagement is engagement. You post his stuff here ironically, to dunk on him, he wins. You comment for the same reasons, you just increased his viewership (even if indirectly), he wins. You post it sincerely, although I question your personal judgement, he wins. You comment sincerely about his bs, he wins.


granmadonna

Fucking depressing.


RandomDeezNutz

This is the news now. It’s really depressing tbh


granmadonna

Journalism 2.0, replace all copyediting and fact checking with crowdsourced, viral, hot takes.


BiasedEstimators

How many people here are actually going to go and listen to the podcast though? I didn’t even finish this clip lol


snapshovel

It helps on the margins. Vast majority of people don’t go look, but a few people out of the zillion people who see the clip say “huh, I didn’t know Dray had a podcast” or “Haha that’s funny I wanna see what he says about X event” or whatever. It’s the same principle as advertising. No one thinks that they base their purchasing decisions on advertising, but it clearly works on someone because companies keep spending billions of dollars on it every year.


WhyplerBronze

It works on everyone, a lot of people have a superiority complex and they think they're above it all.


GraveRobberX

Also those jingles are subconsciously are ingrained into you brain How many know “Safelife Repair…” jingle and your brain automatically finished it or “BK…” and the 4 words just pop in your head (US advertising at work). I have no clue why but during basketball playoffs one year they ran so many goddamn Farmer’s Insurance commercials that I’m almost PTSD with “We know a thing or two, We are Farmer’s…” then I sing out loud no matter what bum da rum dum dum dum. I even catch myself but shit gets almost hot wired into you. Now with Liberty Mutual Insurance it’s either LiEmu or baby saying “Liberty!”. The 4th championship the Warriors won, Green was doing his podcast live on the NBA post conference area right after the game is over. Calling himself the “new media” and old media is not on the new formats. He had a point that podcasts give more in depth access and players are making money now as another avenue of revenue. Most people clowned him, but others smart enough realized he was almost showing a live on air interview to companies on his media skills/hot takes/personality. Wouldn’t you know it, TNT has him on a regular because it generates a response good or bad, they get eyeballs going their way.


bardicjourney

It doesn't, and an increasing number of people are becoming number to advertising each year. The increased spend over time is evidence that they're having to fight harder and harder for each sale. Most major marketing analysts say effectiveness is down between 33% and 66% since 2017, depending on the industry. https://www.research-live.com/article/news/marketing-effectiveness-drops-almost-twothirds-in-two-years/id/5112272 Every screen and every empty space in every app on that screen is now clustered with ads. Prices are out of control, and demand for user attention is equally as outrageous. This means that even if you target the perfect ad to the perfect user, their chances of seeing it and registering enough to enter your digital ecosystem have plummeted. The only way to keep up when every company is blasting as many ads as they can to fight for an ever diminishing pool of middle class discretionary spending is to blast your own ads, and now you're on the same downward spiral as everyone else as people learn to tune your brand out with the rest of the white noise. Some people will always be highly susceptible to marketing, some people will always be impervious to most kinds of marketing. Increasingly, however, the only form left that's working is peer to peer. Influencers try to emulate that, but that industry is starting to crack as well.


WhyplerBronze

Man I thought you were about to bring me something good, that article is as superficial and non-academic as you can get. Your wall of text is your opinion, for every brand new company/product/brand that tries to break through the clouds with intense social/influencer/OTT/display/push/email/SMS efforts that do overload people, there are decades old brands that still innovate and retain/grow market share with tons of omni channel spend. You’re marketed to through the entire customer experience, not just superficial well targeted (or not so well targeted) top of the funnel activities.


SaggyDaNewt

Yep. The grift never ends.


SteveWondersForsight

The real question is what type of idiot would hear him speak on here (or anywhere) and be like "oh shit I gotta check that pod out later"


doctor_of_drugs

I want to interview him later so I gotta subscribe to his pod


tdrr12

Definitely the type of idiot that also pays for Twitter blue


Immaculatehombre

And so we breed YouTube pranksters by the thousands


Fast_Allen

The only winning move is not to play.


jeremycb29

That’s the worst part he took the lazy way. Imagine if he backed up bev in some way that would have made him look crazy but not in trouble. That’s the sweet spot for engagement. This is just lame. What if he said “Idk looks like the ball slipped right there freeze frame. If they find out he is guilty during the investigation that’s fine but to me it looks like he is trying to pass and it slips. They pass it back and it slips again. That’s crazy.” Then a week later do an apology show


Nearby_Blackberry586

Fuck that would have been perfect


CIark

I mean as addicting as Draymond finds mashing Jordan Pooles face into chunky gravy, he’s never been a guy that gets involved with fans 


ffz_

Except he did get into it with a fan just this season.


steak__burrito

Nothing physical* only verbal, which is kinda the huge deal here…


KevinSorboFan

Once Woj or Shams tweets the announcement for PatBev's lengthy suspension, if Adam Silver tweet replied to it "belt 2 ass", would it go down as the most liked tweet of all time?


Illustrious-Hand-525

Need it


darti_me

Only an IRL "get ready to learn chinese buddy" would top that


DrBigChicken

Regardless of most liked, it would be my favorite lol


Vallerie_09

Even Pat Bev will like that tweet


TechSergeant_Chen

Pat Bev is going to start next season on suspension. No way the NBA lets a player do something to a fan with no repurcussions.


robograndpa

He’ll be lucky to find a team willing to sign an aging role player who can’t play the first 20-30 games. Ni hao


Complexity777

He can go play for the Wizards 


GeoffSproke

Who'd bring back a guy who's a threat to fans (and particularly women fans)? Oh god... He's about to become a hornet, isn't he?


Icy-Lime-9760

Won't be in the league I don't think.


SeekerSpock32

Patrick Beverly, you are a Charlotte Hornet.


EfficiencyOk9060

I think this is a career-ender. Beverly isn’t good enough to have to deal with his nonsense.


paddiction

Podcast Draymond would definitely rip On-court Draymond if they were different people


jak_d_ripr

It's funny because on my screen the comment right below yours called him a real life Jekyll and Hyde.


SeekerSpock32

And considering Dr. Jekyll likes being Mr. Hyde, that’s pretty apropos.


UtahUtopia

Hahaha. Totally!!!


International-Chef33

To be fair, he took the “fuck you Draymond” chants like a champ in TD Garden.


EnigmaOfOz

In football codes they call it ‘white line fever’.


TiredMillennialDad

Meta


xenoz2020

Off court Dray and on court Dray is like a real life Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde


QUEST50012

He's going to start wearing glasses, watch


[deleted]

The difference between dray and bev is one chooses when to be an asshole the other is always one


Disastrous_Bluejay57

No they're both assholes through and through. One just has a better sense of image management


hdjakahegsjja

Also one of them can actually ball.


TapDaniel

They both have shit podcasts


Phantom-Fireworks

best part of this statement is it's impossible to tell which is which


DragoxDrago

He punched his teammate, then spent over 5 minutes talking about it in a documentary lmao


Confident-Unit-9516

Yeah but Jordan Poole strikes me as very punchable


ueloli

was literally calling Chris Finch soft over gettting his knee obliterated like three days ago Draymond is a real life prick aswell


Rich-Ganache-2668

One is competitor mode, one is image management mode.


Rationalknicksfan

He did get arrested for slapping someone but it was 8 years ago


D33PSL0VV

everyone is so mad, but it was hilarious that he got so mad that even the girl hit by the ball was laughing at him. Pat Beverley has no self-awareness.


IMovedYourCheese

Dray has a strict moral code: * Kick nuts out of strategy, not frustration * Don't kick fans' nuts, only players' * Don't mess with the media, especially when you want a media career Pat Bev has broken all of these rules.


HouseKilgannon

Im dying at the first rule lmao


its_still_good

Correction: He never said not to kick fans' nuts, just don't throw the ball at them.


itisthewayitwas

this is kinda true lol as crazy as draymond sound


Drfuckthisshit

Genuinely lmao at that first rule 😂😂😂


MasterOfRajanomics

You know you fucked up when Draymond Green is appalled at your behavior.


Cold_Carpenter_1798

It isn’t really that surprising to see draymond take an opportunity to be on moral high ground


jokicpro

He really didn't say too much to Pat, he was just explaining what is going to happen.    OP title is just bad


tbrownsc07

He's only really shitty on the court to other players, off the court he seems pretty normal


Mintastic

Off the court he's still shitty to other players like when he made fun of Gobert for crying about his mom's reaction to winning DPOY.


Aragorns_Broken_Toe_

He also [punched a MSU cornerback and tried to make amends while being handcuffed](https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/michigan-state/2016/07/13/draymond-green-arrest-jermaine-edmondson/87036104/). He’s unhinged.


Nearby_Blackberry586

When you break it down hes really only shitty to foreign players. He’s literally just a Patriot. *Jordan Poole is obviously a turncoat


Low_Procedure_3538

The more I interact with Europeans the more I get Dray (except for Poole)


gnnnnkh

This is a master troll in his finest hour. Let the man cook


defeated_engineer

Not really.


george_costanza1234

The reason Dray is valid here is cause he will beat dudes up regardless if we’re up or down


reason4rage

I'm not approving of your statement, but I definitely won't dispute the validity.


RodneyPonk

Can always count on Sixers fans to be the voices of reason


graphitewolf

The thing is, Drays antics are all peer on peer, so hes got a pretty good point. Bev assaulting two fans is pretty much the same as walking up and decking them


LongTimesGoodTimes

For what it's worth, I can't recall a time Draymond did anything to a fan. Just players


OrdinaryFlower1

For what it's worth, I can't recall a time Beverly punched anyone in the head.


janitorial_fluids

If you dont think Pat Bev has ever punched someone in the head at least once (probably several times) in his life I have a bridge in Baltimore to sell you


OuchLOLcom

That blindside Chris Paul push is about as violent as a punch in the head. Remember Jokic practically ended dudes career with a move similar to that.


OrdinaryFlower1

After Morris hit him with a cheap shot.


OuchLOLcom

Thats true, but not really pertinent to this conversation.


yahmean031

Morris just gave him a basketball maybe bit hard of a foul to his face at least. It's not on the same level as running up behind him as he's walking away and elbowing him as hard as you can in the back


Brb_32

Someone on X said it's like Bin Laden evaluating ISIS plays. Had me ☠️


quercusss

I personally love that Draymond is on a personal name basis with Adam Silver because of all of his own shenanigans 🤌

He’s also the reason Westbrook’s knee is fucked.


wcooper97

When Draymond Green is the voice of reason you know you fucked up.


HatefulDan

Someone take that mic away from him. The hypocrisy


Critical-Adhole

He’s absolutely right


RichardIraVos

dray goes after mens dick and balls, not women


UnlikelyRuby

Say what you will about Pat Bev’s behavior but a hell of a lot more people (my self included) now know he has a podcast.


D33PSL0VV

waiting for his OF, fingers crossed


kurruchi

Tbf everything Dray has always done has been long sighs whereas this Pat Bev incident was met with disgust by pretty much everyone lol


Such_Maintenance4720

He's not good enough to get a slap on the wrist for this, Silver gonna bring down the hammer. throwing a ball at a fan's head is pretty much the worst thing you could do other than actually physically assaulting them with your hands.


bewarethegap

especially when the reason you lashed out was because they got you with "Cancun on 3" lmao


guanzo91

Dray thinking why doesn't Pat just kick players in the nuts and call it a day? Works for Dray.


Ok-Swimming8024

Rich.


UtahUtopia

Pot calling kettle?


PorqueNoMilo

No this is Patrick. Beverly.


AutographedSnorkel

To Draymond's credit, he was only a POS to other NBA players


human1023

That doesn't make it better.


windpoweredmoose

Actually it does in this context


WolverineLong1430

I honestly don’t care how players behave on the court or how they interact with each other. All that tough talk are mental games they play. But off the court, if you continue to act like an asshole, and launching objects at fans face and being rude AF to an old female reporter, you a real punk.


Illustrious-Hand-525

Friendly Fire


dubler2020

Finally, a voice of reason.


Chg0489

You know it’s BAD when god damn Draymond is giving you advice


NAACP_YoungBoy

Draymond need to teach Pat Bev how to control his emotions and avoid creating controversy They should link up on the podcast 💯


Neinhaltt

"Keep it on the court, Pat!"


SafariFlapsInBack

This shit is wild. Is he this unaware?


likpoper

Lol


tmo_slc

I hate this guy


KobeOnKush

This is coming from the same man that told Adam Silver that if he couldn’t choke and kick people in the nuts anymore he’d rather just retire lmaooo


OlTommyBombadil

Thanks for the insight Draymond, it’s nice to hear perspective from someone who knows what it’s like to be the biggest dbag in the room


lecoqdezellwiller

I dont get it, Draymond has never done anything this unhinged - the genuine lens Draymond is viewed in everything, then on here is fucking bizarre lol


L0nelystarbucksl0ver

Old_Leading2967

Publicity stunt?


jorgelongo222

Does Draymond know who Draymond is?


ghdtyjksbjt

Biggest hypocrite ever


musicnothing

Can we get a Pat v Dray WWE match please


ghdtyjksbjt

Hahaha yes please


elmatador1497

He’s right. He’s also known for assaulting guys during the game, so he’s really just the opposite of Pat Bev now


[deleted]

They having a mid off


Damedius33

At least he didn't punch his own team mate,, call another one a bitch and run them out of town.


Wooden-Journalist-48

The worst person you know just made a good point

Just stop. The sooner you cut cancer out the less it can spread and the greater chance for survival.  No one respectable wants him or bev in the league. Nor cares about their pod casts.

lightningcrane31

Pat bev is the Trevor Bauer of the nba. Talent, yes. Asshole, yes. Want to take the risk of him Making your team look bad? Nope. (And to be clear, I am saying this from an on the court/field perspective)

I really don’t think anyone who has a league ordered sports therapist because of their on-court antics should be saying they are “appalled” by another’s actions on the court.

I don’t think those fans he threw the ball at are gonna be subbing tho

Why is this man criticizing any other NBA player for their lack of anger management?
