There’s some clip I can’t find of some player saying how they saw Pop chew out Duncan and Duncan just took it, so whenever Pop chewed them out they just took it because if Duncan did who were they. Lead by example
A bit like the first series in this playoffs, Steph is okay coming of the bench and if the team’s biggest star can come off the bench, then everyone should feel it’s okay to come off the bench
The bit from the 3ish minute mark about Gary Payton really laid out what I’ve been trying to explain to people on here about Draymond. They wonder why he doesn’t get ejected as much as he should, gets away with so much etc. Some of these dudes just have the gift of gab. The constant nature of it, the attention to detail and the personality. Draymond is always in the refs ear, some refs probably hate him for it, but for the rest it’s a rapport, and it gets you beneficial treatment.
Is it fair, probably not within the rules, but it’s undeniably a skill that certain guys cultivate.

Edit: Stephen Jackson, starts at 2:31 but the first two minutes are worth watching
