The Minnesota Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert sent shock waves around the NBA world with his startling behavior on Sunday. In response to the incident, several people shared their perspectives. Moreover, the incident came in as an opportunity for sweet revenge for the Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green. Following Green’s antics, a former Warriors star humbled Dray Magic with his take on the situation.
Things went south for the Wolves camp when Rudy Gobert punched his teammate Kyle Anderson during a timeout. While there isn’t any clarity on the reason behind the ugly act, it certainly reminded fans of the Green-Jordan Poole incident. Interestingly, Gobert had taken a shot at Green after that incident.

Draymond Green had created a similar wave in the hoops community when he threw a punch at Jordan during a practice session before the start of the season. The Dubs star received severe backlash for the act, but Rudy Gobert’s comment really stung the Warriors star. In response to the Green incident, Gobert tweeted, “Insecurity is always loud.” However, Green had the last laugh as he took sweet revenge by tweeting the same line, “Insecurity is always loud,” after Sunday night’s altercation.

However, the 4x NBA Champion was quickly brought back down to earth as former Warriors star, Stephen Jackson, rubbished him on social media.
An Instagram page shared the tweets of Green and Gobert along with the brawl video. In response to the post, Jackson commented, “Both weak moves. Won’t punch the other team but you’ll punch ya teammates.” This comment caught Green’s attention.

Green responded, “relax bro.” However, the exchange didn’t end there, as Jackson reminded Green of an incident from the past. He wrote, “just like I told u when u had questions for me when u saw me. It wasn’t cool and I’ll never respect it.” There isn’t any clarity on what the former player referred to here.
Green-Poole current rapport
After the practice session video went viral, Green took some time away from the Warriors camp. He also apologized for his mistake and said, “I failed as a leader.” Months after the incident, the duo is in a completely different space. They played an impactful role as the Warriors secured the 6th seed in Western Conference. Fans can expect more from the duo in the postseason.
