Would today’s r/NBA have hated Rodman, Laimbeer, Mahorn, and Bruce Bowen as much as we hate Draymond? (alien.top)

In the midst of Draymond’s suspension, the comments have ranged from either Draymond hate or all the way to kicking him out of the league. It’s practically unanimous vitriol.

Wondering if Draymond was just born in the wrong era (or the wrong city. He grew up watching three of the four of the aforementioned players. 🤣)

Regardless, pretty fun to see.

Magic Johnson nicknamed me Laimbeer when I was 10.

When I was 10, I went to Magic Johnson’s basketball camp. Magic watched me play for a little bit and nicknamed me Laimbeer for how I would get after rebounds and how I was taller and bigger than most of the other kids. He was amazingly kind and a great teacher. He’d randomly play full court basketball against 20 laughing kids. It was a lot of fun.

Fast forward a couple days of camp later, I was walking off the court and I hear someone scream “LAIMBEER!!” from the other side of the blacktop. I turn around and it’s Magic Johnson remembering me from before and to just talk about how camp is going.

I felt like the coolest kid alive. Amazing guy.
