Would you be so accepting of it if a guy "clocked" you like that?

I've had some ass whoopings. Not the end of the world. It's a b!tch move to carry it around with you for a giant length of time, especially when the guy apologized.

I’m not a professional apology rater, but I’d call it an “apology.” GS will punish whoever leaked it more than Draymond.

Ass whooping implies that they actually fought. They didn't. Green fired on the guy while he wasn't actually looking. No one gets past that except you apparently. Definitely don't get past it in a couple of days.

Look at it this way. I'm sure you've been cheapshotted in a basketball sense on the court by a teammate in practice. Did you stew over it or did you hash it out?

Plus, these are professionals. It's in everybody's best interest that the apology be accepted. Even the fans would want that.

I have never been clocked by a teammate over a dispute involving basketball.

If I had it would have sat with me for awhile. Guys don't get over it that easily. Mirotic never did and admitted as much. Most people wouldn't.

Looks like basketball player privilege. 99.999 percent of people who did that on the job would be fired immediately.

Nah. They'd be allowed to apologize and all would be forgotten.

I've been knocked down, elbowed, forearm shivered for dirty play. I'm quite fond of John Stockton, a guy I'm sure got over the retaliations. A punch really isn't that much different. Unless you make it bigger than a forearm shiver.

Boxer: oops, sorry
Other boxer: Oops, me too.

I don't recall John Stockton ever having one fight as an NBA player. And ask Rudy T if he ever "got over" it.
Or Paul Mokeski.

Anybody ever set a screen on you in the office on the way to your desk? Well, that person should be fired.

Certainly a similar occurrence. Great talk!

Agreed. Same as a punch.

What are you guys arguing about?

_________________

If a guy gets punched in practice, should he accept an apology or be a little b!tch about it? I say accept it, LTG says be a little b!tch.

If said asshole is a multi champion and you piss him off enough that he tries to break your face I'd be proud of myself

Nothing good comes from dwelling on it. Hate the guy privately but move on publicly. Don’t be a Mirotic.

I would have millions of reasons to be a professional, but I couldn't move past being snaked without a proper fight. Bring the gloves if necessary.

I'm a man with pride. If I got my ass whooped fair and square, I could accept it. You can't blindside me and expect me to be okay with it. No one pays me enough for that. I would be able to set it aside in the workplace, but I couldn't accept a bullshit apology without a proper fight.

No. What's gone wrong? Pretending you're bestfriends with a guy who snaked you sounds like a miserable existence.

What kind of existence is not accepting apologies? I don't understand why the cutoff on apologies is cheap shots? I'm a man. I'm 40? The teammate didn't fuck your wife. He cheapshooted you in a competitive situation in the heat of battle. And again, why is a balled fist at the end of your arm different than the forearm shiver Webber put on Stockton? Stockton was shaking his head and blinking. There should have been an independent neurologist there to take him out and put him into concussion protocol. It's high time basketball gets wrecked too.

No, no they wouldnt

Kind of a dumb comment. This happens in all major sports, not just basketball.

Why would fucking of wives be an apology acceptance exception? Webber and Stockton were never teammates. No one demanded Stockton get over it. The only reason that demand is being made of Poole is because they are teammates. MANY of us have been professional around people we didn't care for. I imagine Poole can do the same.

Because Draemond Green is a shitty teammate and has always been a shitty teammate. If this were a "one timer" then yeah it might be possible to let "bygones" be "bygones". But it isn't with that dickhead. That is why his apology wouldn't mean shit to me if I were his "teammate".

Draymond showing his bar fight experience. Best way to win a bar fight is to end it before it starts with a quasi sucker punch. Tho Poole should've been ready for anything once they chested up. So not a total sucker punch.
