In this paper, we review the nonminimal derivative coupling (NDC) between gravity and a scalar field, from the point of view of the constraint imposed by the detection of gravitational waves. We study in detail the relation between the asymptotic inflationary solution obtained from NDC and its relation with the constraint, by means of a dynamical system analysis, with tow different sets of variables: the orinal ones and new variables that allow us to study asymptotic limits as points in phase space. In this sense, we thus show that the asymptotic inflationary solutions from NDC are incompatible with the gravitational waves speed constraint.
