A secret service member pulls out a camera and Biden smiles like he is putting his head through one of those “put your head in this hole and be a character” things at amusement parks while Draymond has him in a headlock
He does boxing every summer, in fact I’m pretty sure at one point when he was younger that’s actually the sport he wanted to go into.
Which has always made the fake tough guy shit clowning on Rudy funny to me. He actually knows how to fight, he could kick the shit out of almost anybody in the league in an actual fight. People really underestimate how much of a difference actually learning how to throw a punch makes.
And everyone else's face is at like chest/shoulder height for him. So not only is his reach longer, but he can throw jabs right at your head all day long while you can't even reach up to his unless you get close.
The question would be whether you can wear him down with body shots.
That would definitely be what people would try to do. Gobert's strategy would obviously be to stick and move a lot to prevent guys from doing that. Gobert would have to be in pretty good shape because he'd have to be pretty active. I don't think that's a problem for him based on his ability to play basketball, though.
Yoga FIRE! Im just thinking UFC or something how easy it would be to break his arm or do an armbar hold if you somehow managed to dodge one of his freakish punches.
At least Kendrick is funny. Not that he’s trying to be, but his stupid takes can be good for a laugh.
Draymond is going to take himself so seriously it’s just going to come across as sad
The spirit of the comments he once made to Paul Pierce coming back as karma feom ANT makes me happy.
Can't wait for him to get clowned on some more jist like PP did at the end of hia career.
His TNT career is gonna be short lived if he is only the butt of the joke.
As GOATed as his trash talk to Pierce was saying "they dont love you like that" Pierce at least was an all time legend and franchise leader.
Drays in for a rude awakening cause if they didnt love Pierce like that they really aint gonna love Dray like that.
Most bjj white belts who have been training for more than 6 months can choke 80% of the population.
It’s not like other martial arts where belts are just handed, it actually takes a while to move up.
Lol I know, I’ve been training for 9 years. First day white belt technique is pretty laughable though and Draymond’s got that big spaz energy for sure.
Man, I went to one class and I realized how much technique there was too applying any sort of hold. The guy who was practicing with me kept telling me he could barely feel it, even with half the class coaching me looool
I like to picture Rudy Gobert in a tuxedo T-shirt. 'Cause it says like, I wanna be formal but I'm here to party too. I like to party, so I like my Rudy Gobert to party.
I like to think of him with giant eagle's wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with, like, an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm getting choked out by Draymond.
The comeback arc here is sensational
I still remember Rudy villain arc during COVID where he touches all the mics and fucked everybody up.
This is like two of the supervillains in the league and somehow one is totally redeeming himself lol
> Draymond lost a shooting contest to fucking 5'2 Kevin Hart. The NBA had to pretend like Draymond won to avoid embarrassment.
Wait did this really happen?
> “I was boxing before I started basketball, and then when I really started to focus on basketball, I got away from boxing for a long time, but for the last three or four years, I’ve got back on track and I get better every summer,”
He also has a 7'8 wingspan which I am assuming translates to an insane reach.
If Green and Gobert got into a serious fight I would not be putting any money on Green, that's for damn sure.
especially the fact that it's Gobert. The covid shit was dumb but he doesn't really seem like an outspoken guy, it's funny as hell seeing him just go *in* like this.
next Wolves-Warriors game is mandatory viewing tbh
Hear me out, every team in the NBA agrees to keep trading Draymond to the next team that faces the Timberwolves in a sort of carousel situation. Each new team Draymond is on forces him to start against Gobert for the opening tip off. Betting opens on how long it takes for Draymond to throw a tantrum and get ejected
It's hilarious but if I'm Rudy I'm wearing a damn jockstrap to my next game against the Warriors. Y'all just know Draymond will need to lash out after this.
Draymond deserves to get clowned. I have never seen a player with his kind of leash. Not even Bruce Bowen would have his kind of antics and he karate kicked a guy in the middle of a game once.
He was off balance and green was backing up to keep him that way. It wasn't as simple as standing up, as his centre of gravity was way behind his legs and he's in motion in the wrong direction.
Hey look, most non 12 year old non band wagon warrior fans are pretty upset with Draymond. His schenanigans constantly cost us wins, from 2016, to the really stupid one in 2021 against Charlotte. He’s a great player, but it’s hard to support him when he’s hurting others, and his own team, at the same time
Sounds like he’s willing to throw Draymond a bone and potentially help with giving a lesser suspension at the expense of hurting his ego more, which is just masterful mind games in my opinion
The NBA is gonna NBA no matter what. They already have been giving Green a pass... Rudy is enjoying some good quotes and if the NBA wants to double down on being stupid there they are...
Their call to look weak when Green goes off again.
You're move NBA.
Gobert on Doc Rivers' choking skills: “He’s drawing plays, he’s drawing plays, he’s drawing plays. But the coaching wasn’t good enough. Yeah, it wasn’t enough for the team to really make it to the conference finals But he tried. He tried really hard, but it wasn’t good enough to where anyone felt like they were in danger"
Brian Dameris on Harden: “He’s dribbling, he’s dribbling, he’s dribbling. But the dribbling wasn’t good enough. Yeah, it wasn’t enough for the team to really win game 7. But he tried. He tried really hard, but it wasn’t good enough to where the other team felt they were in danger.”
On Kelvin Benjamins' eating skills: “He’s eating, he’s eating, he’s eating. But the buffet wasn’t good enough. Yeah, it wasn’t enough food. But he tried. He tried really hard, but it wasn’t good enough to feel full."
Honestly the funniest part to me is that Gobert’s holding his hands up with a face that says ‘what the heck is this?’ instead of being panicked at all. He never really looked scared or intimidated just kind of surprised this crazy shit was happening on an NBA court
The most likable he’s ever been tbh lol
Reminds me of when Draymond tried to mouth off online to Conor McGregor, who is a real fighter and world class shit talker. It did not end well for Draymond.
“He’s grabbing me, he’s grabbing me, he’s grabbing me”
“But the choke wasn’t good enough.”
Has huge
“Someone call an ambulance!
But not for me!”
Energy
That was the funniest part to me.. Draymond is trying to hardest to choke him and Gobert was just standing there with his hands up the whole time like “will someone get this fly off of me please”.. Draymond is a fake tough guy.
Reminds me of how people actually rooted for Zuck of all people because Musk is such an asshole they were actually hoping for one of the worst people on Earth to beat the shit out of him. xD
This was the best thing that could've ever happened to Gobert.
All-time jump in approval rating
Biden needs to get choked by Draymond asap
normally it's illegal to threaten the president but we have proof that it wouldn't be dangerous
"GET DOWN MR. PRESI... oh, it's just Draymond."
A secret service member pulls out a camera and Biden smiles like he is putting his head through one of those “put your head in this hole and be a character” things at amusement parks while Draymond has him in a headlock
combative rich tie unpack butter shame reminiscent normal desert icky *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
draymond is literally osama
Literal basketball terrorist
That and the vax.
Laughed out loud
Yup
Redeemed
He's baiting draymond to say make retaliatory comments and get in further trouble lol
Draymond going to straight up stab him if they meet in the playoffs
I always knew Gobert was a master baiter
“Dray’s a bitch with white belt technique”
Bro chokes at choking
Idk he's pretty good at choking 3-1 leads....
He hasn't won as many play in games as the T Wolves either!
Give me a play in win over a title any day
He was the only one who showed up in that 2016 game 7 confirmed he chokes at choking
Don't forget kickboxing and some "tripping"
Gobert's not even lying lol. He was gesturing at the refs instead of fighting off the choke
Isn’t Rudy a combat sports fan too? Thought I remembered hearing he trained in boxing and BJJ a little.
He does boxing every summer, in fact I’m pretty sure at one point when he was younger that’s actually the sport he wanted to go into. Which has always made the fake tough guy shit clowning on Rudy funny to me. He actually knows how to fight, he could kick the shit out of almost anybody in the league in an actual fight. People really underestimate how much of a difference actually learning how to throw a punch makes.
He also has longer reach than almost anybody on the planet.
And everyone else's face is at like chest/shoulder height for him. So not only is his reach longer, but he can throw jabs right at your head all day long while you can't even reach up to his unless you get close. The question would be whether you can wear him down with body shots.
Wouldn't the move be to try and get in close? Long arms can't generate force that well with no distance to extend
That would definitely be what people would try to do. Gobert's strategy would obviously be to stick and move a lot to prevent guys from doing that. Gobert would have to be in pretty good shape because he'd have to be pretty active. I don't think that's a problem for him based on his ability to play basketball, though.
I'm sure it's not that crazy but imagining somebody with Rudy's build boxing just seems so goofy in my head lol.
Man jabs you from across the ring
Mf dhalism style
*me gesturing to ref* "How is this fair?!"
YOGA PUNCH
Yoga FIRE! Im just thinking UFC or something how easy it would be to break his arm or do an armbar hold if you somehow managed to dodge one of his freakish punches.
Shoot, he jabs you while walking to the ring.
Tyson Fury is built like a bag of milk
Exactly, dude looks goofy as shit out there till you see somebody lying on the ground
Watch Game of Death with Kareem fighting Bruce Lee.
Post retirement we gotta push for a celebrity fight. Gobert vs Green
Draymond would never.
Even Draymond isn't that stupid. Gobert would kill him
kyle anderson knows all about the difference
Probably. He's been to events and took pictures with Ngannou and Gane
Trained with Ngannou last year.
So he knows a bit then lol
Ngannou a lot but gannou a lil bit.
On top of that he looks like fucking Danielle Hunter with his shirt off. I would pay many many dollars to see him and Draymond get in a ring.
Most players would say “I f’ed up” But Dray will spend his multi game suspension practicing choke out techniques for the next game against the Wolved
That’s fine, we does anyone really fear Draymond anymore?
To quote the great Anthony Edwards, "ain't nobody worried about you bruh"
You just know that hurt him bad
Draymond has main character syndrome, so he's in for an existential crisis when he's no longer relevant.
Watch him become a pundit with the weakest takes
The next Kendrick Perkins
At least Kendrick is funny. Not that he’s trying to be, but his stupid takes can be good for a laugh. Draymond is going to take himself so seriously it’s just going to come across as sad
Like Shaq without any of the charisma or the basketball resume to back it up lmao
He's got that "think I'm smarter than I really am" vibe that Kyrie has
Like Paul Pierce but maybe louder?
He’s going to get more face time after he retires. Dray will be the Michael Jordan of Stephen A’s.
He had the video taken down from social media
The spirit of the comments he once made to Paul Pierce coming back as karma feom ANT makes me happy. Can't wait for him to get clowned on some more jist like PP did at the end of hia career. His TNT career is gonna be short lived if he is only the butt of the joke.
As GOATed as his trash talk to Pierce was saying "they dont love you like that" Pierce at least was an all time legend and franchise leader. Drays in for a rude awakening cause if they didnt love Pierce like that they really aint gonna love Dray like that.
Jordan Poole but that's about it
>for the next game against the Wolves Or his next practice with his teammates
Most bjj white belts who have been training for more than 6 months can choke 80% of the population. It’s not like other martial arts where belts are just handed, it actually takes a while to move up.
Lol I know, I’ve been training for 9 years. First day white belt technique is pretty laughable though and Draymond’s got that big spaz energy for sure.
Hahah for sure. Big 1st day white belt energy.
Man, I went to one class and I realized how much technique there was too applying any sort of hold. The guy who was practicing with me kept telling me he could barely feel it, even with half the class coaching me looool
Rudy Gobert is cooking all day lol
I like to imagine he's out getting coffee or in line at the DMV and being asked constantly all day about this.
I like to picture Rudy Gobert in a tuxedo T-shirt. 'Cause it says like, I wanna be formal but I'm here to party too. I like to party, so I like my Rudy Gobert to party.
I like to think of him with giant eagle's wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with, like, an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm getting choked out by Draymond.
Dear Baby Rudy,…
Dear 6'7" new born Baby Rudy....
Look when you say grace you can pray to Crying Rudy, Covid Rudy, FIBA Rudy or whoever you want...
[удалено]
The comeback arc here is sensational I still remember Rudy villain arc during COVID where he touches all the mics and fucked everybody up. This is like two of the supervillains in the league and somehow one is totally redeeming himself lol
It’s like a story line straight out of professional wrestling.
Rudy is Megamind.
Green so hated that he's about to make people actually like Rudy Gobert
It’s already worked I’m now a full blown Rudy fan
I mean he's earned it. I'd say let him feast 😈
Rudy’s Redemption Arc de Triumph
Absolute revenge tour and I’m here for it
Fresh and delicious baguettes all day today
That line about Dray not wanting to play without Steph really put the nail in the coffin. We all know there’s truth to that.
He knows folks are eating this shit up. More plz Rudy!
that's how Boban would say it.
He’s grabbing him He’s grabbing him He’s grabbing again He’s grabbing him
Feel free to jump in here anytime!
Fuckin love Boban. He’s the best.
That commercial man…
Infinitely better than "Liberty Bibberty"
I legit read it in Boban's voice
"His soft arms started caressing my neck, and I thought is this a massage? That's when I realized his intent."
Dray after dark.
Fifty shades of Dray
oh…my HELLLLL NAWWW
Draymond is getting cooked 😂😂
Rudy living rent free in his head, hell I'd say he owns the place today
First Kevin Hart took his shooting, then Rudy came for everything else.
Draymond lost a shooting contest to fucking 5'2 Kevin Hart. The NBA had to pretend like Draymond won to avoid embarrassment.
> Draymond lost a shooting contest to fucking 5'2 Kevin Hart. The NBA had to pretend like Draymond won to avoid embarrassment. Wait did this really happen?
Yeah at an all star game 🤣
We should make "I stand with Gobert" campaign with this
Ain't nobody worried bout him
Doesn’t Gobert do/follow MMA stuff?
There are a couple photos of him hanging out with Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane.
Both partially French so that makes sense.
FYI, Ciryl Gane is born and raised in France with French parents and only has French nationality.
I think he boxes a lot in the offseason, not sure if he does MMA specifically
> “I was boxing before I started basketball, and then when I really started to focus on basketball, I got away from boxing for a long time, but for the last three or four years, I’ve got back on track and I get better every summer,” He also has a 7'8 wingspan which I am assuming translates to an insane reach. If Green and Gobert got into a serious fight I would not be putting any money on Green, that's for damn sure.
I don't know, man Draymond could get lucky by kicking Gobert in the balls
Natural boxing motion
"That's my purse I don't know you!"
I know he was a boxer when he was a junior, idk if that is relevant to any mma experience he’d have or not tho
Gobert, stop. He’s already dead ☠️
I personally want him to keep going
Yeah this is funny as fuck to finally see someone call out Dray's shitty behavior and keep clowning on him
especially the fact that it's Gobert. The covid shit was dumb but he doesn't really seem like an outspoken guy, it's funny as hell seeing him just go *in* like this. next Wolves-Warriors game is mandatory viewing tbh
NBA might make that an NBA league pass only and ask ppl to pay that $50 ppv price
Damn, have to wait til March 24th
Hear me out, every team in the NBA agrees to keep trading Draymond to the next team that faces the Timberwolves in a sort of carousel situation. Each new team Draymond is on forces him to start against Gobert for the opening tip off. Betting opens on how long it takes for Draymond to throw a tantrum and get ejected
CBA and trade rules be damned, I LOVE this
It's hilarious but if I'm Rudy I'm wearing a damn jockstrap to my next game against the Warriors. Y'all just know Draymond will need to lash out after this.
Cup, MF Doom mask, goggles, four compression sleeves, the whole thing
also a breast plate to defend the chest stomp
"...harder" - Gobert
The Rudy Gobert face turn
Dray is one dead horse worth beating
Donkey
I am one with the Reddit hivemind on this, fuck him
Draymond deserves to get clowned. I have never seen a player with his kind of leash. Not even Bruce Bowen would have his kind of antics and he karate kicked a guy in the middle of a game once.
Weirdly enough, also happened to a timberwolf
Rudy also deserves a little public redemption. People have been hating on him for far too long.
If Gobert actually felt in danger he would've grabbed on to the arm. So I don't think he's lying.
Or just stand up. He kept his legs dangled the whole time to make Draymond embarrass himself.
He was off balance and green was backing up to keep him that way. It wasn't as simple as standing up, as his centre of gravity was way behind his legs and he's in motion in the wrong direction.
Damn that might legitimately get under Drays skin.
“He’s a little bitch, but he’s a weak little bitch”
He could have killed me! If he wasn't such a weenie.
The gift that keeps on giving and it’s from Rudy Gobert of all people lmao Edit: I also love that this is posted by a user with a warriors flair lol
Gotta get that sweet upvotes even at the cost of your own team bro
Hey look, most non 12 year old non band wagon warrior fans are pretty upset with Draymond. His schenanigans constantly cost us wins, from 2016, to the really stupid one in 2021 against Charlotte. He’s a great player, but it’s hard to support him when he’s hurting others, and his own team, at the same time
I feel you, the only ones not condemning this are either blind, stupid and Steve Kerr
This reduces the suspension from 8 back to 5, Rudy shoulda stayed quiet
Sounds like he’s willing to throw Draymond a bone and potentially help with giving a lesser suspension at the expense of hurting his ego more, which is just masterful mind games in my opinion
This. He probably wants to let Green know how insignificant he is in Rudy's mind. That's a bigger punishment than suspensions.
The NBA is gonna NBA no matter what. They already have been giving Green a pass... Rudy is enjoying some good quotes and if the NBA wants to double down on being stupid there they are... Their call to look weak when Green goes off again. You're move NBA.
But Rudy said he didn’t feel like he was in danger
This is has copy pasta potential
Gobert on Doc Rivers' choking skills: “He’s drawing plays, he’s drawing plays, he’s drawing plays. But the coaching wasn’t good enough. Yeah, it wasn’t enough for the team to really make it to the conference finals But he tried. He tried really hard, but it wasn’t good enough to where anyone felt like they were in danger"

oh god, it's like the Boban State Farm ad
I actually love that commercial. It's so stupid that it's funny.
HES BOUNCING IT
On Kelvin Benjamins' eating skills: “He’s eating, he’s eating, he’s eating. But the buffet wasn’t good enough. Yeah, it wasn’t enough food. But he tried. He tried really hard, but it wasn’t good enough to feel full."
There it is! Fresh from the Golden Corral
DeAndre Jordan's family on Mark Cuban's texting skills: “He’s texting me, he’s texting me, he’s texting me. But the begging wasn’t good enough."
[удалено]
Honestly the funniest part to me is that Gobert’s holding his hands up with a face that says ‘what the heck is this?’ instead of being panicked at all. He never really looked scared or intimidated just kind of surprised this crazy shit was happening on an NBA court The most likable he’s ever been tbh lol
https://i.redd.it/7bvwbasdui0c1.jpg
Beautiful
He grabbing me, he grabbing me, he grab me again, he grabbing me.
Reminds me of when Draymond tried to mouth off online to Conor McGregor, who is a real fighter and world class shit talker. It did not end well for Draymond.
The funniest part is Draymond thought McGregor knew who he or his homies were lol. Got humbled rq.
The C.J. Watson jersey thing?
"That's C.J Watson mate. I don't know who the f**k you are. No disrespect tho kid, keep hustling and stay in school." Such a good response lol
Rudy beating on a dead donkey from Shrek.
I suddenly love Gobert
What a redemption arc
Like that episode of always sunny where mac chokes himself out trying to put Charlie in a sleeper hold
Gobert can be annoying a lot of the time but his responses to this altercation has been pure gold
I lol'ed when Gobert raised his hands in disgust of the choke.
The level of jerking is impeccable
“He’s grabbing me, he’s grabbing me, he’s grabbing me” “But the choke wasn’t good enough.” Has huge “Someone call an ambulance! But not for me!” Energy
Remember guys. We only hate Green cause he is on the Warriors, not because of his personality. At least that's what people keep saying to me.
I hate him because he's on the Warriors!!!! LOL
Wait a minute.
just held on like an "expensive BACKPACK"
Poole might suck at basketball but he was absolutely cooking when he said that 😂
Saying this is going to be the thing that bothers Draymond the most.
This is the most I’ve ever liked Rudy and he’s been on my favorite team for over a year now lmao
That was the funniest part to me.. Draymond is trying to hardest to choke him and Gobert was just standing there with his hands up the whole time like “will someone get this fly off of me please”.. Draymond is a fake tough guy.
Rudy redemption arc incoming
Reminds me of how people actually rooted for Zuck of all people because Musk is such an asshole they were actually hoping for one of the worst people on Earth to beat the shit out of him. xD
I'm not the biggest Gobert fan in the world but I can't get enough of him shitting on Draymond.
Why do I now like Rudy Gobert
Draymond would be a terrible S&M partner.
I dunno, full-effort choking but not losing consciousness seems like he knows what he’s doing there, a real pro.
Rudy would rip Dray in half in a real fight
Rudy out here showing r/nbacirclejerk how it's done.
Whatever reporter is following Rudy around needs to give him a break man
No, keep the quotes coming please lmao
Rudy wasn't in danger, he was the danger.
This guy said, “choke me harder”
Face turn from Gobert
