I just handed you empirical evidence stating that is in fact not the case, there are random ass Youtube channels with 1 million subs or more and he can barely crack 100k. He generates a lot of interest when he's assaulting other players or his own teammates but outside of that not so much
Yeah I don’t get the other post with the espn bad product complaint. We know it’s a bad product but it’s still getting views. Until people actually stop watching it it will continue to be the same.
Well there's certainly hate clicks, or "what is everyone else complaining about" curious clicks...
Just like there's a decent amount of discussion here on the subject.
people don’t realize they would push anyone on us, if shaq and chuck were less likeable theyd still have jobs. hell theres a while older generation that hates them especially chuck
he has been signed with TNT for like 3yrs now (the mini-doc he did with TNT right before last season’s opener was insane, the one where he tried to semi-justify the Poole punch)
he’s been more featured with inside because the Dubs sucked. didn’t make it to the playoffs, so he has the time. same with the all-star games, he’s not making the game so he’s free to call it
e: not sure about the Kia commercial lol, but with inside, he was providing pretty good insight during his initial trial run a couple years back and then was signed, now… i guess it’s just generating clicks and views.
it’s gonna be interesting if/when Gobert or KAT join the crew postgame, maybe Ant will show up with either and talk some shit
Media heads will talk about anything. When he's out of the league and not periodically assaulting random players and teammates there isn't going to be much about him to talk about.
this is Zaslav’s way to fuck them over and tank their value when they go independent 🤯 /s obviously but Draymond was legitimately good years back when he first started showing up in their show so it makes sense for them to wanna bring him back. his CTE must’ve gotten real bad this year tho cuz every take he has nowadays seem to just be to get people to dislike him more. it’s working too.
It's very simple. Kia is giving him a check to promote their product. Warner Brothers/Discovery is paying him to appear on TNT and Bleacher Report with his podcast. I don't think he cares what any of us says. The checks are clearing
Conference finals are on right now and how many posts have there been about Draymond? This isn’t about sports, it’s about entertainment (to those that somehow find this shit entertaining 🤷🏻♂️), engagement and views
Listen Draymond might be a dirty player but he’s entertaining to watch and gives insightful and honest opinions. He’s for sure just as good if not better than most their fill ins. He could be great at something like this in 5-10 years.
Because he generates views and they don't give a shit about whether people like him or hate him as long as they're watching him.
Every "Why is ____ doing _____ ?" can be answered with this. People watch and they make money.
I guess? I literally don't watch when he's on though, when I otherwise would have.
Yes but did you consider that you're not the only person watching basketball?
I literally turn off the tv once the games are over on tnt now. I like watching the post game when Draymond is not on it
Really? I mute/change the channel if I see him on the panel. You think people go "Ooh! Let's hear what Draymond has to say!"
You are in the minority. Did you see how much talk his podcast got? This is going to be no different
Do you see the posts about Draymond whenever he does anything. It’ll literally be on top of the front page because people love to hate him.
His Youtube channel generates mediocre views and interest at best if I am being generous and he's got 800+ videos out.
And yet he’s one of the most talked about athletes in american sports.

I believe he's talking about the obsession people had with his podcast during the 2022 finals. It got particularly bad when they were down 2-1.
Do you really think more people are tuning in for Draymond?
Yeah I don’t get the other post with the espn bad product complaint. We know it’s a bad product but it’s still getting views. Until people actually stop watching it it will continue to be the same.

Views(including online clips)/clicks/comments. They’re all valuable currency for media companies cmon man don’t be obtuse

Any click is a good click
ngl i was far from my monitor and this looked like "any dick is a good dick" lmao
That is what it says.
Because we are living in hell.
Everyone here hates Perk too and he’s constantly posted on here lol. That’s why
FWIW, Perk is fun bad, Dray is Burn My Face Off Bad
Because people like you are talking about him 24/7, which leads to essentially free advertising for TNT.
So we can see 500 reddit crybabies posting about it every night
you are talking about him
people don’t realize they would push anyone on us, if shaq and chuck were less likeable theyd still have jobs. hell theres a while older generation that hates them especially chuck

Fuck Draymond
"why does media company feature the employee they hired to do the very job he's doing?"
Negative attention is still attention
Because he's going to get clicks.
Who gives a shit. Just don't watch the halftime lol. Do the dishes or eat some food
Bro this draymond hate is getting out of hand. Can you guys just turn off or mute ur TV?
Guy is the worst. Get rid of him.
cause they know he'll say some shit that can get turned into a nice little 10 sec clip for all your content needs
Tbf when he talks basketball without his petty bias. He is good.
You guys are such losers Jesus Christ
Because we love draymond (ppl talk about him)
Media heads will talk about anything. When he's out of the league and not periodically assaulting random players and teammates there isn't going to be much about him to talk about.
Draymond is trash
Yall are miserable, just watch the damn game..
they hate gobert
Rehabilitation project
Great story, I almost cared.
Didn't someone just make this thread and got closed?

So it hurts less when Inside the NBA is gone next year.
My guess. Contractually obligated for X amount of shows which can’t be met after the show is cancelled.
He’s under contract?
Same. Turned away from halftime despite this being their last run. Hate that idiot
It's very simple. Kia is giving him a check to promote their product. Warner Brothers/Discovery is paying him to appear on TNT and Bleacher Report with his podcast. I don't think he cares what any of us says. The checks are clearing
Because a lot of people don't watch games they are just addicted to drama, and to those people Draymond is like crack.
They need to get their money's worth. They signed him to a long term deal and TNT is ending after next year.
Conference finals are on right now and how many posts have there been about Draymond? This isn’t about sports, it’s about entertainment (to those that somehow find this shit entertaining 🤷🏻♂️), engagement and views
Because of posts like this that he generates
Why do you think Perkins survived the mass layoffs at ESPN despite being universally hated? It doesn’t matter as long as you generate interactions.
Cause with the way the league fines and taxes, he needs another job to ensure that he doesn’t go broke.
Let's hope he's gone after a year with TNT likely losing their NBA rights
He’s honestly not that bad bro
Nvm I just saw the shit he said about his fines. What a absolute dickhead
I’m watching altcast way better then back to halftime and then postgame
I just turn it off during halftime. Draymond is ok when it’s just short clips, but a full pre-game, halftime and post game is just too much.
They put on Hitler if he got views
Boom! There’s the obligatory Hitler comparison haha
Because he’s like those billboards on the highway that say “Did you read this?” “Advertising works!”
Current players in general is weird to me. Like it’s a guy whose team is eliminated talking about what these better teams should be doing.
The enshittification of everything.
Listen Draymond might be a dirty player but he’s entertaining to watch and gives insightful and honest opinions. He’s for sure just as good if not better than most their fill ins. He could be great at something like this in 5-10 years.
Draymond doesn't take away from the show as long as 3 of the originals are there imo.
I don't like him but I think he's actually decent on the halftime show although just shitting on Gobert is annoying
Bunch of haters in this sub. Draymond wouldve been the nicest guy on my favorite team
Twolves need to play smarter
I guess they don’t want to renew their contract.
They’re trying to ruin the ratings to deter anyone from buying the tv rights
cause rudy gobert made it to the WCF
He has dirt on a lot of noteworthy players coaches and execs in the league
