When KD sobs about his mom who raised him as a poor single mother, it’s applauded. But when Rudy cries and gets emotional about the same thing, for some reason everyone makes fun of him.
-
Russ cannot be making fun of someone for missing free throws😂😂
-
It’s weird to me that the NBA players say he’s overrated, and then almost no one shoots well against him. His on-ball defensive shooting percentage is really good.
-
On 142 players, 81 accepted to give their opinion about the most overrated player. 13,6 % said Rudy Gobert. So 11 players in the league think he is overrated. I think at this point we can all agree no one care about this vote.
-
I think the biggest reason for him being hated is the same as Giannis where people believe if the were 7 foot and that athletic they could do the same thing. Difference is Giannis is a funny likable guy and it sounds harsh but Gobert just isn’t
-
Rudy is a good player, haters going to hate! And I’m not a Minnesota fan
-
Rudy is correct on the refs fixing games though. NBA is super rigged
-
People blame everyone but Rudy for the Wolves superb D, but we already know what a Wolves team constructed like they are now but without Rudy is like. Sure, they're trying to win now instead of tank. And, maybe their coach is different, but the heart of their defense is Rudy.
-
So, players mostly hate him because of his salary and DPOY awards? But those were given to him, what was he supposed to do, refuse it? "No thanks, XY player deserves this more." Even the COVID thing was unfortunate, he was trying to be funny and it backfired badly. Many other players would do same or similar thing
-
It's not like it's his fault for being overpaid lmao. Honestly, half of the hate is just jealousy, the rest might be the covid incident. For Draymond, it's clearly jealousy.
-
I’m a Utah fan and I can assure you that we still love him. Outside of basketball, he’s awesome and sweet. Minnesota fans can hopefully relate to this now.
-
I think if Rudy also leaned into the "villain" role the fans would love him. Talk that ish back tell players they make a fraction of what he makes. It would be a lot of fun😂
-
I'd bet money when Gobert wasn't helping a team win; even AM Hoops trashed on him now he's helping Minnesota, he's "misunderstood"
-
I mean 2,5% think Sabonis is overrated while being underrated af, should have been an all star at least this year
-
Westbrick laughing at Gobert is ironic.
-
I am willing to bet you can take everyone that say's Gobert is over rated, put a video together of them driving into the paint, seeing Rudy and turning back around and backing the ball out. And not just once, but multiple times. These things never show up on a stat sheet but just standing in the paint and getting teams to reset their offense on 70% of the plays is Domination.
-
Rudy Gobert, defensive mastermind on and off the court
-
Always loved Rudy, and thought he was misunderstood. But who cares about the outside world, it's basketball, so do you're job. And Rudy does like a true European.
-
It's hilarious to watch NBA stars run away from Rudy. They're terrified. So they chatter.
-
The only defender on the Utah Jazz was attacked because he was the only defensive player on the Utah Jazz. None of the other players got any heat for being complete trash at Defense.
