Clay Thompson doing some guest announcing this past weekend for the Warriors.

This was so good.

Take a listen.

Checked it.

Mike works.

Mike's hot.

Uh, I'm good.

You're on, bro.

I didn't wanna do it, But then I saw this backdrop.

Uh, someone went through great lengths to make that happen, so I felt bad night fulfilling my end of the deal.

Oh, my goodness.

That makes this.

How much longer until you break?

Rail is three point record.

I mean, you're in the booth right now.

Says your job to know these stats to be able to do the quick math.

Bob, I don't know.

What do you think?

40 games.

He's 400 behind.

Closed two seasons waiting for you to say, Hey, Luke.

Right now.

FEMA?

Yeah.

Shortbread and long loaf.

You may have added to the play by play losses.

Losses short.

Cast it.

What's the recruiter doing over there is a little scuffle.

Have time?

I want my name.

McGruder.

Oh, no.

This dude might be at the league soon.

He's probably mad about that.

Who knows?

Shot you over your checking, my guy.

You good?

Five.

Trying to start something like He's a good player or something like Get out of here.

You might be sorry.

All right, We're done.

Easy done.

Amazing.

Welcome back to the jump.

I'm Rachel Nichols.

Still hanging out with Kendrick Perkins.

Zach Lowe.

Uh, first of all, I would just like to point out when we saw Clay interviewing.

Step there.

See, It's not so easy to do that job, Clay.

Okay?

He was looking down at his notes.

He didn't have the right numbers.

I'm just saying I will say, However, he completely redeemed himself with the colorful way that he described Rodney McGruder on that Warriors broadcast that is keeping it real for the fans.

And unfortunately for McGruder, Draymond Green also had quite a bit to say about McGruder after the game.

Let's roll that as well.

Apparently, he was taking up of Wayne Elliott.

Went Rodney McGruder becoming a tough guy.

The team like I don't know, man.

Everybody in the league tough these days.

It's crazy.

I've seen a lot of tough guys this year.

I don't understand it, and don't nobody do anything.

Also, I think it was something that, like that what I said in the first or second quarter away and everything.

You ain't got nothing better to do that.

You're still thinking about sounds in front of first or second quarter when you weren't in the game.

So apparently, um, Wayne Ellington must have went over to the bench.

I guess he went and told Rodney McGruder because he hadn't been in the game.

Yeah.

I don't know, man.

It's too many tough guys in this league these days for me, but I know it ain't nobody scared of no damn Rodney McGruder.

I don't even know what to do with all of this.

I saw someone on Twitter afterwards, said that that should just be Draymond Hall of Fame speech.

And we're done.

Um, Zak, whose comments stung Mork Lay or Draymond.

Well, look, this is it.

This is This is the price of getting unfiltered.

Clay Thompson, I'm willing to throw my Rodney McGruder under the bus to get unfiltered.

Clay Thompson.

I'm sorry, but I will say this felt a little bit like bullying to me.

Like Rodney McGruder is just trying to fight and scrap for his MBA career.

And Draymond and Clare Hall of Famers, Multi time all stars.

I he let Rodney McGruder be.

We don't need to go off for five minutes about Did you see the Warriors broadcast?

Put down five minutes per game and four games this season.

Even the Warriors broadcast got into bullying Rodney McGruder.

Poor guy.

My God.

Mhm.

Well, I'm gonna say this.

I I don't applaud and I don't like it to me.

Rachel and Zach, I I thought this was very corny.

When you look at a guy like Rodney McGruder, who was undrafted in 2013, who has been fighting his way, went down to the G League and it's still on the roster here today and give 2021.

Ah, guy that has toe fight every single offseason, going to training camp, improve himself, and we all know how hard it is.

Just to get to the NBA is even harder to stand the MBA and they have a 15 or 14 guy on every roster that fights for their position and be that guy on the bench.

All he was doing was standing up for his teammates, and I love Clay, but he didn't I can't roll with him on this statement.

That just wasn't right and for his dream are talking about a lot of tough guys in the league.

I love Draymond, but he talked Justus Muchas anybody, and nobody really is doing nothing outside of talking, because Draymond is not doing anything to nobody when he sees somebody outside in the offseason outside the court when the season is over, because I could recall the incident with Christian Thompson had addressed him, and he copped a plea.

So at the end of the day, look, I don't agree with Clay statement.

I know it was good.

It was funny at the time.

But a guy like Rodney McGruder, McGruder, who's who's actually fighting for his job.

19.

I mean, year after year after year, and it's still surviving in the league.

They have a lot of guys that on rosters like that, and I just can't roll with that state.

Well, I respect all of that, and I do think that's important.

But also, this is an issue that Ronnie recruiter came over.

He went toward the Warriors tunnel.

In fact, there were reports afterward that the lead was gonna look into that because it violates some of the protocols that they have set up, and we have a league where people are constantly saying, Oh, I wish it had the toughness.

I wish we had the toughness of the old days in the nineties and the MBA.

I'm not sure that anything that was said on the broadcast during the post game press conference rises to the level of sort of the back and forth since, and the beefs and and the stuff that we saw in the old school MBA.

So I don't know, sticks and stones on the words to me and I mean, now we gotta We're gonna watch the next Warriors Pistons game whenever that happens.

I guess next season, so we'll have something to talk about.
