> “He’s grabbing me, he’s grabbing me, he’s grabbing me,” Gobert recalled. “(But) the choke wasn’t good enough. Yeah, it wasn’t enough for me to really have to (go to sleep). But he tried. He tried really hard, but it wasn’t good enough to where I felt like I was really in danger of falling asleep or something like that.”

Doesn’t Gobert do/follow MMA stuff?
Gobert, stop. He’s already dead ☠️
“Dray’s a bitch with white belt technique”
This is has copy pasta potential
Draymond is getting cooked 😂😂
that’s how Boban would say it.
This reduces the suspension from 8 back to 5, Rudy shoulda stayed quiet
Draymond: “I could’ve killed you if I really wanted to”
“He’s a little bitch, but he’s a weak little bitch”
This was the best thing that could’ve ever happened to Gobert.
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.
Draymond would be a terrible S&M partner.
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
Rudy Gobert is cooking all day lol
“His soft arms started caressing my neck, and I thought is this a massage? That’s when I realized his intent.”
Rudy redemption arc incoming
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.
The level of jerking is impeccable
A live look at Draymond reacting to what Gobert had to say

Gobert taking the high road. Love to see it
Like that episode of always sunny where mac chokes himself out trying to put Charlie in a sleeper hold
Rudy beating on a dead donkey from Shrek.
Damn that might legitimately get under Drays skin.
I suddenly love Gobert
He’s baiting draymond to say make retaliatory comments and get in further trouble lol
Rudy would rip Dray in half in a real fight
This is the most I’ve ever liked Rudy and he’s been on my favorite team for over a year now lmao
“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
He grabbing me, he grabbing me, he grab me again, he grabbing me.
This guy said, “choke me harder”
just held on like an “expensive BACKPACK”
Gobert can be annoying a lot of the time but his responses to this altercation has been pure gold
Why do I now like Rudy Gobert
Whatever reporter is following Rudy around needs to give him a break man
I’m not the biggest Gobert fan in the world but I can’t get enough of him shitting on Draymond.
Rudy wasn’t in danger, he was the danger.
If Gobert actually felt in danger he would’ve grabbed on to the arm. So I don’t think he’s lying.
Saying this is going to be the thing that bothers Draymond the most.
Gobert would fuck Draymond up in a 1v1 fight
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
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.
I lol’ed when Gobert raised his hands in disgust of the choke.
How is Green not being charged with assault by law enforcement
Gobert just don’t stop haha love it! If this continues, at some point even Greens mom might question whether his son is clown or not 😀
Face turn from Gobert
“If he knew how to choke it could have been way worse” lmao
Rudy out here showing r/nbacirclejerk how it’s done.
This is impressive by Draymond. Gobert who is universally mocked has looked like a badass in this exchange.
Truly remarkable stuff by Dray to make Rudy look cool.
What a facilitator.
Gobert with the biggest face turn since Batista in ’05.
