[Highlight] Rudy Gobert elbows Mark Williams around the hip area leads to a Flagrant 2 and ejection for Gobert. Williams hits Rudy in the head moments before
It’s the right call. He shoved an airborne, defenseless player in the ribs with no play on the ball. That’s a textbook Flagrant Penalty 2.
Then my boy had the audacity to go and try and help him up lol
Still glad he’s on our team but Rudy can be a real dumbass sometimes.
He’s way too sensitive and vindictive. Seen him seek needless retribution like this before.
For sure! Ask his wife
Classic ‘i gotta get my hit back’ into ‘ahhh shit it wasn’t that serious I shouldn’t have done that’
Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
achoo
Is it right that he’s been ejected 3 times this year already?
Idk, I’ve watched most of our games and this is the first time I’ve seen him get tossed for a flagrant. The only other time I’ve seen him go was because he had 6 fouls.
Oh ok. 6 fouls is completely different. But I also wasn’t sure I correctly heard the commentary say that or not.
think its 2 foul outs & this flagrant 2 – he def does stupid shit though. Just moved here in July & he’s wildly infuriating to watch lol
That was mostly my experience when he was on the jazz but like every jazz fan was like Rudy is our best player, so much better than Mitchell…
Thats not even being a dumbass, thats just being a dickhead
Can be? COVID would like a word
You’d think a 10+year veteran would know better….what a moronic play.
He absolutely knows better. I get that this was revenge, but pretty stupid to try to hurt someone.
Let’s call it what it is. This is not stupidity. This is intent to harm people over basketball. I know I’m in r/NBA but it’s important to remember that this is a sport where a bunch of grown men throw a leather ball through a hoop. It’s psychotic behavior to purposely try to injure somebody over a sport.
How do you feel about throwing at people in baseball? Hockey fights?
He does this shit all the time, he just usually is petulant, not actively trying to injure someone
He’s started doing this more this season. I think he’s losing a step and getting frustrated when people are aggressive with him, so he intentionally fouls hard
Draymond, poke the bear this year.
Choke the bear
Brotha needs help
People are aggressive with him because he plays a bit dirty and he has negative skill if he’s more than a foot from the basket. Dude has the worst touch I’ve ever fucking seen from a guy that big.
its roid rage, he cant handle his testosterone
He did basically the same to Caruso a few games ago
[removed]
Honestly he was patient zero for the western world.
He’s a bum
he did it on purpose.
Rudy does not know better, unfortunately.
reader’s note: he did not, in fact, lick and rub his balls on microphones at any point
yeah he just slapped it on his tongue a little nothin too bad
I take it ya’ll don’t miss him in Utah haha
Brad Beal got a Flagrant 1 when he pushed Ant in the air last year
bradly beal will be happy to be in the league next year.
The criteria for a flagrant foul are:
Flagrant Foul Penalty 1: Unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent Flagrant Foul Penalty 2: Unnecessary and excessive contact committed by a player against an opponent
The direct elbow to the ribs elevates it from unnecessary to unnecessary and excessive
Rudy is so freaking soft. Glad he’s not on my team and I don’t have to root for him
He pulled the Bynum move.
Still one of the dirtiest plays I’ve watched live.
I agree it’s the right call but Beal did something very similar last year and I don’t even tbink he was given a flagrant 1
He’s gotten away with it a few times this year too. Should’ve been thrown out for trying to kill Caruso against us.
I know this doesn’t factor into the decision but doing it to an injury prone guy sucks too. Marks been on fire this whole season and it would’ve been horrible if this took him out
Gobert acting like he just saw Fauci
Gobert was endorsing a book by the French Andrew Tate this offseason too
had a chapter called “How Young Women Give You a Special Energy”
Least surprising chapter name of a French book
Comes right before “Oui oui or wee wee? Mistranslations as a legal defense.”
are you deadass
I’m somehow not surprised at all about this
Rudy should be telling us the earth is flat by now.
Who is the french Andrew tate? I’m french and never heard of him, I’m down for a good laugh. Is it making a buzz in the US?

Gobert doesnt strike me as someone that reads so he’s probably not what you’re implying
gobert is a nutjob. the r/nba darling tho, sometimes
Enemy of my enemy. Dude gets credit from people hating Dray
Probably would have aimed for the head if it was Fauci
Mark Williams’ father is a doctor coincidentally.
Thank you
Yeah this was absolutely a purposeful revenge foul from Gobert lol
This is going to be a flagrant 2 every time
Gobert is a dirty ass bitch. there’s a reason nobody in the league likes him
not even other Europeans
Does this guy think all Europeans like one another?
Definitely a foul on Rudy tho
I don’t think thats what hes saying. I do think amongst American players, there is some inherent xenophobic thoughts that Europeans aren’t “true hoopers” until they really earn it, so it feels like if you’re not like, Dirk or Jokic or Luka that you may not have earned the respect of American players, but at least European players usually respect other good European players
Nah it’s not that deep…That narrative was mostly back in the day, nowadays it’s not the case at all because Euro players are highly represented and productive..With that said biases on both end(vice versa when American players go to Europe) will always exist it is what it is, but calling it xenophobic is a big reach..
Shit, wait until he hears about how some American’s feel about people from Mexico….
And the original foul wasn’t even that bad imo. Sure he hit him in the head but he was going for the ball and trying to make a basketball play.
Flagrant 1 based on the rules but personally I don’t even think it should have been a flagrant. Makes players decide to give up on defense instead of hustling to try to make a play.
“Around hip area”, are we blind? That was straight to the ribs. C’mon 🤣
well the ribs are kind of around the hip area to be fair
hip bone’s connected to the rib bone
The red thing’s connected to… my wristwatch.
It’s unfortunately not. There’s a goddamn spine that connects those fools
i don’t know why this was so funny but i laughed for a good minute lmfao
It’s also kinda close to the head area, I guess we can meet in the middle at the ribs 😂
His ribs are also close to the Sun, relatively speaking
Natural defense motion to natural hip area
I don’t think I would be a fan of either of these outcomes if I am j dub
“Around the hip area”
straight to the liver, worst body shot you can take
Good thing we have a competent backup center, right guys?
…guys?
Beringer “Naz Reid” Game incoming
Yall dont like naz anymore?
He’s not a center. They might list him that way but he’s a 3⁄4 at most.
Oh gochu
Well take him he’d be the tallest person on our starting lineup
damn that looks like it fuckin hurt , tf is gobert doing lmao
straight revenge
mark williams just five-star’d him in the head, not even a play on the ball
not justifying rudy here but it wasn’t unprovoked
It seemed pretty clear Williams was trying to get a play on the ball but he bit on the pump fake & ended up hitting Gobert in the head. Williams deserved the Flagrant 1 for it. The revenge foul by Gobert wasn’t a play on the ball by any means.
I thought a wind-up and follow through with contact to the head was an ejection, but I guess not.
Has to be deemed excessive. It was a slap. Easy flagrant 1, debatable 2. Refs debated a 1.
Classic revenge foul, he got the shit slapped out of him by Mark Williams like 10 minutes earlier.
Not excusing it, but it’s the reason.
Natural elbow motion
Gobert is such a dumb ass sometimes
Sometimes?
Only on and off the court.
You don’t get the nickname “the man that started covid” for nothing
Only when playing at basketball. And other times.
Rudy is just jealous he hasn’t made a 3pt field goal in his 12 year career while Mark Williams just made his first lol
All facts
I did the Leo pointing meme when I saw that lmao
That was weak by Rudy
You think he’s at risk of a suspension?
No, ejection should cover it. Was a good call
“Williams hits Rudy in the head moments before”. Where’s the clip OP? Should be illegal to have that in the title without the clip.
“Moments” was like 10 minutes before this play.
Thanks. Makes sense why it’s not part of the highlight then lol.
Yeah no, that was just incredibly dumb from Gobert. Fucking dumbass does this as petty revenge, and even if you want to ignore the obvious fact that he tried to injure a fellow player because of competition or whatever, he did this fully aware that we have no backup centers so now the guy he’s oh so mad at is just going to destroy us in the inside now. Such a bone-headed decision in every single way, it’s got me thinking that maybe that head slap didn’t hurt him that bad actually.
On the bright side, maybe he can take this time to find out who built the pyramids or something.
Deserved. He could have seriously injured Williams.
What a dumbass.
Gobert might be the dumbest player in the league
Dirty af then tried to act surprised when he got ejected
All my homies hate the baguette
Your opinion on this play informs me whether or not you hoop lol
This is dirty as fuck
No room for it in the game all his momentum is taking him away so hitting him like that could injure him if it goes wrong
Dirty as fuck, deserved the ejection
I’m not watching the game so I don’t know how bad the play was where Williams hit Rudy in the head but the play in this highlight doesn’t belong in the NBA.
It wasnt great. Rudy got him on a pump fake real bad and Williams made a wild swing that got Gobert in the face. Williams got a deserved Flagrant 1. Rudy went to teach him a lesson.
Apparently that lesson was, “If you want an early night off, this is how you do it.”
Dude an elbow to the short ribs is painful, never mind doing that to a guy who is 2 feet off the floor and not going to be able to land. It’s a subconscious effort to hurt, maybe not injure, another player. Gtfo. Also Covid Gobert
Title is wrong this is forearm and completely different then elbowing someone.
That’s some goon shit
Gobert is a weak bitch for that
Fuck Rudy. Has been and always will be a total bitch
Dirty ass Frenchman
Dirty gogurt
The crowd booing is insane lol
Classless fans
The most biased title I’ve ever seen lmfao he shoved him in the ribs with his elbow while the bloke was in midair be fr
Looks like Gobert went to the Andrew Bynum summer camp this past offseason👀
Fuck that guy. I’ve hated Rudy for years and he does lots on and off the court to keep me hating. He should get fined for shit like that. That’s how you end people’s careers
Weak mental player does weak thing. Classic Rudy
Gobert was always a dirty player, well deserved for that asshole
dirty player
Gobert is a dirty player. This is a very dirty play and not the first time.
Meh.
Gobert is such a weak minded joke of a person and player.
Literally trying to injure that man, what a dick
Andrew Bynum special!
Bitch move
Thats a pretty straight forward ejection.
He has done this type of thing his entire career. Dirty player.
-Jazz fan
He always does this. Fuck Rudy.
He pulled an Andrew Bynum
Do not shove defenceless players in the air, the most obvious flagrant 2 in hsitory
Rudy does this dirty shit way too often.
rudy stay doing dumb shit every once in a while
Dirty cheap shot (Again) from Gobert
Reminds me of Bynum and Barea.
Dirty elbow then hands up innocence, rugged French toughness on display
“Hands up” is just part of his ingrained French culture.
That’s a fucking no no. Dirty player.
Rudy Gobert is enemy #1 after Covid.
Dirty ass move, could have been seriously injured
that reminds me of bynum
dirty play
Rudy is playing a different game out there sometimes his goals align with us winning, sometimes the voices win
Suspend him
Crazy how, in the Bird era, this might have been a foul
Does a dirty play then puts up his hands to imply that it’s an accident. What a clown! Don’t you wish that Draymond should’ve given that headlock more harder.
I need to see the head hit for context but you can ruin a career by checking someone in the air. Did you see that landing, he could’ve tore everything. Definitely an ejection, dirty play.
Fuck Gobert.
Anybody got the clip of a couple minutes earlier when Williams wound up and smacked Rudy in the face and somehow ended up with only a flagrant 1?
Going for that liver shot. Might have a career in MMA, can you imagine that reach!??
Rudy would be begging to fight in bantamweight
Title is dumb af but makes sense per poster
Andrew Bynum v Berrea vibes
textbook F2
Good no place in the league for that shit
it is the right call for sure
Not the right way to get revenge. Now you’re out of the game.
Where’s the moment before?
Damn. Not the same gravity but it’s like Bynum on Jose Juan.
jesus man what are we DOING
Weird divide in the comments. It’s objectively a dumb move by gobert.
Draymond vindicated
Even if this isn’t a F2 it’s better to be a bit harsh just to clean it up. It’s 100% unnecessary
Rudy is so dirty, ask shais face
The Bynum special
Draymond, get em!
I was at the game, it was an escalating series of fouls… But that’s a flagrant 2. It’s a dumb foul. I don’t hate Rudy as much as the casual reddit fan, but he makes a very disproportionate number of bone headed plays for someone of his talent. The suns are scrappy and have a bunch of guys that agitate but good basketball players beat them on the court
If that were draymond, he’d be suspended. Gobert got a history of dirty plays
Worth
Very similar to what Mitchell Robinson did to Franz Wagner the other day, except Mitchell did it from behind rather than the side like here
Shades of Andrew Bynum on Barea
Gorbert is dirty
Is it me or does Gobert have one of these a year?
Need to see the play that Williams did on him. Scrolled too many comments and still don’t see it
Liver shot. Ouch
