In the midst of Draymond’s suspension, the comments have ranged from either Draymond hate or all the way to kicking him out of the league. It’s practically unanimous vitriol.

Wondering if Draymond was just born in the wrong era (or the wrong city. He grew up watching three of the four of the aforementioned players. 🤣)

Regardless, pretty fun to see.

    Yes and no. Yes they were ducks and they’d get hate. No because all of them were better at their jobs than draymond who is riding Steph’s coattails

    Everyone hated those players in their era. Rodman and Laimbeer were the league’s heels for their entire careers.

    Rodman would be a GOD. Nephews would eat up The Worm’s act and ask for seconds.

    Bruce Bowen would be the basketball-elitists favorite player. (I loved Bruce. Great glue guy.)

    Mahorn is Draymond. Same dude. Bit shorter than Rick but same attitude. Both play “over the line” but are respectable because of their competitiveness.

    Laimbeer would be loathed in any era, by anyone with any scruples or sense of fair play. Any soccer fans? He’s Pepe, from Real Madrid. Master of the dark arts.

    I like how in all of the chaos that was Laimbeer and the bad boys, you had Joe Dumars being the most sportsmanlike person ever on that team - almost threw a punch after being whacked by Danny Ainge before Dumars.exe resumed.

    I hate Laimbeer and I’ve never even watched a game of his lmao. So I guess yes is the answer.

    I hate draymond because he is a bitch. That doesn’t apply to any of them, all whom I saw play.

    Depends on the flair, but yes without a doubt. As dirty as Draymond is, he has nothing on the Bad Boys or Bruce Bowen.

    Magic Johnson nicknamed me Laimbeer when I was 10.

    When I was 10, I went to Magic Johnson’s basketball camp. Magic watched me play for a little bit and nicknamed me Laimbeer for how I would get after rebounds and how I was taller and bigger than most of the other kids. He was amazingly kind and a great teacher. He’d randomly play full court basketball against 20 laughing kids. It was a lot of fun.

    Fast forward a couple days of camp later, I was walking off the court and I hear someone scream “LAIMBEER!!” from the other side of the blacktop. I turn around and it’s Magic Johnson remembering me from before and to just talk about how camp is going.

    I felt like the coolest kid alive. Amazing guy.
