“Would you speak to me that way if you were standing in front of me?” Rudy Gobert claps back at Skip Bayless after being called a “fake tough guy”

Skip Bayless the biggest LeBron James hater is back in the headlines. But unexpectedly, at the other end is Rudy Gobert who got criticized by the analyst for his ongoing beef with Shaquille O’Neal. Shaquille O’Neal claimed that Rudy Gobert won’t stand a chance against him in his prime and he will be held down to 12 points in three minutes when guarded. Rudy Gobert of course wasn’t a fan of this claim and quoted: “I would lock his ass up” as a response and since has the internet enjoying the beef between the two. Skip Bayless also got a part of it as he discussed the exchanges between them at “Undisputed” sitting alongside Shannon Sharpe.

Skip Bayless like always didn’t hold himself back while criticizing Rudy Gobert and throwing shade at him. He called the three times Defensive Player of the Year awardee a “fake tough guy” and a “finesse defender” straight away disrespecting terms for the big guy. As they didn’t age well for him and now Rudy Gobert is wondering will Skip Bayless be able to call him the same names he used while criticizing him on his face. There aren’t many times when Rudy Gobert has stepped up to shut down a critic, especially from the media but with Skip Bayless on the other end things are always different.

It’s not the first time the analyst has been called out and loud as Kevin Durant too called him out when he intentionally tried to start something up. Now he has disrespected Rudy Gobert and is paying the price as many including the multiple time DPOY of the league criticize him for his senseless and disrespectful takes on social media platforms.

Rudy Gobert on Skip Bayless calling him a fake tough guy

Rudy addressing Skip Bayless’s take on Twitter quoted: “Would u speak to me that way if you were standing in front of me @RealSkipBayless ?? I’m cool with the constant disrespect and opinions about who i am as a player and i CHOOSE to let these things slide but it seems like people are getting way to comfortable…” He also added to it in another tweet where he wrote: “Only two people on this earth are allowed to talk to me that way  @RealSkipBayless. And you’re not one of em.”

Both the tweets make sense and are understandable from the perspective of someone getting disrespected. Still, there’s no response to them from Skip Bayless who started it all. Rudy Gobert though is also getting criticized online for his take of locking Shaquille O’Neal up who is the most dominating force in the league’s history.
