Draymond is better than him and I’m tired of Rodman being brought up in these discussion.

Wait there are really nikkas in here that think Dray isnt HOF bound? :russ:

So they are gonna put Steph and Klay in, and leave Draymond out when they won a chip the first year he started :ohhh:

Draymond is more impactful and has more to his game than both.

Also, and very important, Draymond is the leader of the Warriors. That wasn’t true for Chandler or Cooper.

Draymond is a HOFer.
Hall of Famers are the best of the best. Hall of Famers carry their squads and do the heavy lifting. Role players do not belong in the Hall of Fame. You guys want to devalue the Hall even more than it already is. Might as well put Iguodala in there too.

This is such an utterly laughable argument.

Draymond is great in that he sees the game in space, i just wonder how effective he'd be if the court wasn't as spacious

Dennis Rodman, half the 60s Celtics, Bill Bradley, Bobby Jones etc. are already in the HOF.

Draymond is a HOFer.

Avery Johnson was the leader of the early Spurs 'chip teams. He's not in the Hall. Neither Shaq nor Kobe were the leader of their 00-02 teams. The leader of the team is not always the best player.

Draymond is an all time great role player the type of player whose exact skillset could have fit into any great team at any point in history. Plug him in for Ron Harper and the 96 Bulls are going 76-6. Pick a team, any team they all get better with a guy that has his IQ on both ends of the floor his problem is that he's dependent on the guys around him executing but he sets the table on both ends excellently. He can only do so much but what he does raises ceilings. His mouth is what people hate and they let it spill over into his game. The Coli's like that Dame got bumped up to Steph's level here because guys just fukk with him as a person. Draymond was out here shytting on actual superstars and legends and guys felt the need to "remind" him (because its not like he's actually reading this) that he's just a water carrier.

You can't plug him into any team though. On the '96 Bulls, Pippen renders him useless. And Ron Harper was 20ppg (4 & 5) scorer that you had to pay attention to. You can't plug him on the Kobe Lakers, any Lebron team, early Spurs, Pistons. The only other team you can put him on for him to be successful are the later Spurs, in place of Diaw.

First, it was the first Spurs title, as in one. Avery Johnson didn’t win a single accolade in his career. Draymond was the leader of a dynasty team. It’s not the same.

And Shaq was the leader of the three-peat Lakers. The fact that you couldn’t name another player lets me know you didn’t think that one fully through.

If the warriors were the Infinity gauntlet then Draymond would be the gauntlet for all the stones. Breh isn't shiny but he serves his purpose. Till he starts talking smack to your best player and sort or makes him leave but that's besides the point.
