Yay! Old Draymond is back!

If you read my blog, you already know that I'm a Draymond Green fan. I can't help but love how authentic he is. That being said, let's stay on the court this time, Dray. Instead of punching people, elbowing people, or kicking players, just relax and hit the ball while doing that.

Because while it may be funny and fun, it's not doing anything but ruining your career, pimp.
