For several years, Draymond Green and Rudy Gobert have been constantly looking for each other. The friction between the two men took on a new dimension this season, when the Golden State Warriors interior strangled the Frenchman in the middle of a match. More recently, Green mentioned the case of the Timberwolves pivot, in his own way, because of the fourth Defender of the Year title that he won. An outing that doesn’t have more than Eddie Johnson.
In recent days, Draymond Green has not let go of Rudy Gobert. Consultant for TNT and basketball critic in his podcast, the 34-year-old often has the opportunity to not mince his words in front of thousands of listeners. The reason for his persistence? The Habs won their fourth NBA DPOY (defender of the year) trophy. “Historically the defender of the year is someone who counters and intercepts balls. ‘Oh look, he blocks 3 shots a game, he’s defender of the year because of that.’ I don’t agree with that. » he said in The Big Podcast.

Inappropriate behavior?
In the middle of an interview with Luka Doncic, Green also responded to screaming fans “Draymond sucks!” » with a “Rudy sucks, not me. What did I do ? “. It is for these kinds of comments that Eddie Johnson spoke up to defend Gobert. The former NBA winger, who spent 17 seasons in the league, including stints with the Kansas City Kings in the 1980s and the Phoenix Suns early in the next decade, said on X that the Warriors player’s behavior was inappropriate.
Johnson questions Green’s analyst role
“You can’t let your jealousy of a man who has 4 DPOYs and you 1, harm your professionalism on national TV when you’re there as an analyst! A current player bashing another player for personal reasons when he’s in the conference finals and you’re hired to talk about the game is inappropriate! » wrote Johnson, annoyed by the redundancy of Draymond Green’s speech.
