Rudy Gobert, the center for the Minnesota Timberwolves, has never really appealed to Draymond Green. Following the T-Wolves’ defeat in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on Friday, the star of the Golden State Warriors fired another shot at the Frenchman.
In the final seconds at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Luka Doncic nailed a dagger three over Gobert, and the Timberwolves lost 109-108. After making the shot, the Mavericks star also gave Gobert some infamous trash language.
After the game, Doncic became a member of the “Inside the NBA” panel. Panelist Draymond Green began to hear some “Draymond sucks” chants from a few Timberwolves supporters as the group analyzed Doncic’s attempt at Gobert.
It’s not me, Rudy sucks, Green remarked. “What action did I take? I took no action. For what reason are they examining me? Not me, but [Luka Doncic] did it to them.
For the past few years, Green and Gobert have been at odds. When the chance presents itself, the star player for the Warriors has never hesitated to criticize Gobert.
Green famously choked Gobert, resulting in the latter’s extended ban earlier in the season.
Based on the box score, Gobert’s performance in Game 2 wasn’t bad. Despite shooting just 6/10 from the field, he finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds. But if the Timberwolves lose the series, the mockery he endured on Friday and most likely going forward will hurt a little more.
