The NBA did not appreciate the attitude of Rudy Gobert. Sent off for a 6th foul against the Cleveland Cavaliers (104-113, ap) last Saturday, the interior of the Minnesota Timberwolves turned towards the referee, Scott Fostermiming banknotes with his fingers.
Sanctioned with a technical sanction for this gesture, the Frenchman then took responsibility for it in front of the media by realizing a link between the resurgence of sports betting and bad refereeing decisions. The League’s response? An XXL fine of $100,000 for the former Utah Jazz center.
Facing the pressGobert delivered his first reaction on this subject.
“How do I feel about the fine? It’s a fine… it’s a lot of money. In the end, we’re all human beings. We’re not always right, but everyone Everyone has the right to say what they think.
Then, it’s a sport with a lot of emotions, so sometimes we react with frustration,” said Rudy Gobert.
Obviously, after such a sanction from the NBA, the Habs must be careful with their words. But deep down, Rudy Gobert certainly has the same opinion regarding the impact of sports betting on the game.
