During an interview with Run It Back, Lou says, “We would’ve just liked to see Rudy just fight back a little bit.” Draymond is known for his hotheadedness and explosive reactions on the court, and Lou suggests that it is about time that Rudy puts on a brave front as well. “KAT [Karl-Anthony Towns] is one of those guys that he needs a punch on his resume. Rudy Gobert needs a punch on his resume that kinda gets guys off of him,” he says.

According to Lou, this would help Rudy ward off trouble in the future. As for Draymond, Lou says he doesn’t need that punch on his resume, because, “We know he bout that life.” In fact, Lou says that Rudy should’ve gone for a punch or two, without just accepting the situation and taking the peaceful route.
