Draymond Green did not limit himself to his gesture as useless as it was dangerous at the start of the season on Rudy Gobert. He continues his “campaign” against the French pivot at the slightest opportunity. In his podcast or on the airwaves of TNT, where he is a consultant during these playoffs.
He is therefore very bitter, believing that the four-time defender of the year was bad against Nikola Jokic or that the Wolves were better without him against Dallas…
And even Shaquille O'Neal, still on TNT, more subtly (although), made fun of Rudy Gobert after Luka Doncic's decisive shot in Game 2. “You were facing the defender of the year”he says before bursting out laughing, greeting Luka Doncic when the latter shrugs his shoulders.
Result: the Frenchman's teammates decided, to support him but also for Karl-Anthony Towns (mocked for his 1,500 shots per day), not to go to the TNT set, in the show “Inside the NBA” , after the victory in Game 4, specifies The Athletic.
A strong decision which confirms the character of this group, very united, as explained by the main person concerned. “We've been through a lot over the past two years, individually and collectively, and we've never been broken. It made us better”rejoices Rudy Gobert.
