20 games would have been perfect but I'll take 5 over the 2 games Draymond's babysitters were calling for.

If Ja got 25 games for a second offence in less than a year of him wielding a gun in social media videos, 20 would be too many for Draymond's ~~chokehold~~ headlock I think. 5 - 10 would be appropriate I'd say. I don't know his history and if if he has priors though. I love "Draymond's babysitters"

Edit: JR on CBS Sports' JR Sports Brief listed Draymond's many priors and said that while he thought 5 games was fair, he hoped the NBA would do 10 - 15 next time Draymond does something like this. JR had a great line, in reference to how it was only GSW's winning record that's kept Draymond in the good graces of the league: "If he was on the Orlando Magic, he'd be working for Vince McMahon now in the WWE" lol

His history is that he’s been a dick on the court for years now, and the refs largely let it slide.

Thanks! Yeah, I caught a little more on the radio. Jordan Poole incident too

Yeah I think so re: JR. I wanted to call them something else that was NSFW, but pulled back. So many in the NBA circle - the NBA head office, the coaching staff, the media and fans have coddled this grown man-child's inexcusable grade school bully behaviour. I'm fed up.
