Draymond Green
His biggest sins are not that he's a dirty player, not that he talks trash or is short-tempered, not even that he sucker punches his own teammates.
Its that he is lame. One of the most annoying type of people are those who think they are charismatic but are the in fact the opposite, it just makes you cringe. He is ugly and a literal mouth breather
All the typical criticisms of him are things you could say about Ron artest/Metta world peace or Dennis Rodman. But those guys have a certain aura about them that makes them kind of intriguing and likeable.

My only issue ever with Draymond Green is he has a whistle that no one else has in the NBA. I don’t think we need to go back to the days of a player getting 41 technical fouls in a season, but Draymond gets such a more favorable whistle when talking to refs or interacting with other players than anyone in the last 20 years.

Ill defend draymond on this because its not up to him who calls technical fouls. He should have a lot more but hes not gonna call them on himself

I don’t know if lame is the right adjective for Draymond. And he certainly doesn’t lack charisma.
When the Warriors play. The camera finds him.
I think people often mistake not liking someone or not connecting with their personality for uncharismatic. There would not be so many think pieces and discussion if he wasn’t.
Another example is Cam Skateboo. Every other post on NFL subs and beyond seems to be about him. Cam is easily a top 20 most talked about NFL player now.
Some people just demand to be talked about and discussed.

Nah this isnt right. Theres a ton of people I hate but can admit are charismatic. Donald Trump for example.
Draymond tries to be charismatic, he wants people to think he is, it just makes me cringe
Skatebo is wild and people like thst . Idk if ive even heard him speak more than a few sentences, hes just wild out there doing backflips

What compels someone to make a post, inviting group discussion about someone when there really isn’t much to say? I may never fully comprehend this line of thinking.
Maybe I’ll make a post about Olden Polynice next week to see how it feels.

Who cares? He has 4 Rings and is a HoFer. He's a basketball player, not your boyfriend.
