Please, please, please. Why don't you start by watching the video again?
It's not a case of 'Draymond's arm just happened to get stuck as he moved through a smaller player.' No dude, it's a case of him absolutely grabbing the other player around the top of his chest, then wrapping his hand around Mills' neck, pulling him down backwards in a completely unsafe way.
There's also the fact that Draymond's so much bigger and stronger than Mills that he had easily enough leverage and strength to do all that with a lot less force & intention than it would have taken for say... someone like Nikola Jokic.
It was a horrible-looking series of actions, and I hope I never see it again.
When the league reviews this, if they don't handle this the right way, then all their talk about Draymond needing to change is just so much hot air.

i saw the video thank you very much. now i ask that you recall the things that have gotten him suspended in the past: ball kicking, chest stomping, and backhands to the face. this is not even close to as bad as those things.
No, a big strong guy grabbing a much smaller guy by the neck and pulling him backwards until he loses his balance is arguably the most dangerous of all of Draymond's reckless acts.
Mills could easily have gotten a neck injury and/or a concussion if he didn't sprawl to avoid the floor. And if he'd fallen completely on his back, for a few moments there he had no way to protect himself from being trampled by another player.
The difference with Draymond's other stuff is that those were attacks on another player's body region that didn't impact the player's ability to protect themselves. Somebody getting smacked in the face or getting kicked in the cup didn't throw them backwards on the floor in the midst of other players running around. Stomping on another player's chest on the ground was really bad, tho.
You can have the last reply, but all I can feel is disgust. Bye.
lol disgust. go fuck yourself.
