Reply to comment by ANTristotle in Draymond Green-Jordan Poole video shows Warriors stars’ altercation by ANTristotle

Not sure it can be called a sucker punch if you shove someone first and are face to face with them.

You don't expect your co worker who also makes millions of dollars to play a game to get so heated they escalate further than yelling and light shoving to knockout punches over words.

Firstly, we don’t know the words so it’s hard to say that. Secondly, if your coworker is enough of a hot head to get in your face to the point where you have to shove him, maybe you should expect a punch because he’s clearly crazy. I’m not defending Draymond, just saying that isn’t really a sucker punch at that point

A sucker punch doesn’t have to mean the person was looking away. For example, it can also mean “I’m face to face with someone I believe to be a good teammate/brother and I have NO reason to think he will punch me in the face” and then they do. Green is a clown and anyone defending him is a dick riding clown.

Not defending Green at all because I have no idea the context of the argument. My only point is that if someone is in your face already arguing and you shove them, you should probably be ready for a punch and it isn’t a sucker punch. It stopped being words when the shove happened and then Draymond escalated even further by throwing a punch. That doesn’t make it a sucker punch
