A few days ago, Shaquille O’Neal once again criticized Rudy Gobert’s salary and his bank account, it is now an NBA tradition. But for once, the pivot of the France team received support on social networks, and in particular that of Kevin Durant.
For several years now, Shaquille O’Neal made Rudy Gobert one of his favorite targets. If he sometimes happens to defend him and side with him, especially during the controversy of the “passes” between the Frenchman and Donovan Mitchellmore often than not, the most dominant pivot in history blames the Stifle Tower for his contract worth more than $200 million.
The problem is that the pillar of the France team did not force to be paid so well, he simply accepted the contract offered by the Jazz, which also reflects his record over the past few years. He’s a multiple All-Star, an acclaimed Defenseman of the Year, perhaps the best center in Utah history… For all of these reasons, his max contract seems like a fitting reward.
Kevin Durant responds to Shaq’s latest clash over Gobert
But that, the Shaq has a lot of trouble admitting and hearing. The proof, during a recent episode of his podcast, he has handed over a layer to Rudy Gobert’s bank accounta subject that almost turns into an obsession. Kevin Durant got wind of this new clash, and he wanted to react on his Twitter account. He does not necessarily understand the origin of these repeated clashes…
Shaquille is hilarious. You’re a billionaire bro lol https://t.co/11Bq3EIY6i

For Kevin Durant, the criticism of Shaquille O’Neal is “hilarious” because not necessarily necessary. The most dominant pivot in history is far too wealthy and far too established in his professional life to look at the salaries of current players and criticize them. Also on social networks, several “influential” voices from NBA Twitter have risen to defend Rudy Gobert in the face of this pecuniary attack.
I love to make fun of Rudy Gobert but this is nasty pocket watching https://t.co/DlH7XgYEbu

I like to make fun of Rudy Gobert but it’s disgusting to look at his bank account like that.
Rudy Gobert is an excellent NBA player, who is excellently well paid, and this visibly annoys certain legends like Shaquille O’Neal, who could not claim such a sum at the time. He could be happy for the new generations…
