McDaniels and Gobert both knew they were gonna be in the play-in game. Gotta control your emotions.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I do think it's odd how everything and anything that can benefit the lakers has been happening right at the end of the season almost like some mandate went out
He did something during the regular season, therefore should suspend him for the season next year and not the playoffs / play in.
no punishment for anderson… he is currys son.
So ya'll say Gobert "mushed" …but Juwan Howard "punched" somebody???? Ok! 🤣🤣🤣
max not breaking it down too much, keyshaun just soft. i hardly even consider it a punch
its a liver shot max
“A Superman punch designed to land with force… & it did” lmfaoooooo MAX
So if Keyshawn punch max in the chest would he feel the same ? Lol
The suspension is unnecessary but the Wolves don't want that smoke
I don't care if it was on the side line he shouldnt b suspended gsw didn't suspend Draymond green that went viral n had a documentary
The Timberwolf’s are the worst run franchise in professional sports
NBA's idiots of the year candidate.
If A.D. Punch Lonnie Walker trust me he'd be playing tonight lol
On Ball, I would take Ant as our 2nd best defender… He and Jaden both locked down KY and Luka. Maybe semantics but Ant is a hella underrated defender
KD just got swept out of the first round with a healthy team as the best player on the floor. Literally had the worst playoff performance of his career.
KD has won one playoff series in the last 4 seasons and y’all really on here like he prime Kobe or sum. KD ain’t that guy without curry and klay
If people think a face to face shove and someone running 🏃♂️ across court to punch someone who wasn't looking is the same thing this world is doomed
😂 Max said “I didn’t cheat, I just put the tip in”
All I see when i look at this video, is smooth criminal by Michael Jackson. Rudy moonwalked smooth out the huddle lol
Thank youu so much for your videos! I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((jl
Wolves did the right thing got to send a message to the locker room they need to grow up everybody professional getting paid life changing money ! MAN UP !
Lmao front offices are so soft.
Yet Will Smith just carried on.
Key is an idiot
Scripted possibly? WWE. Anything to be in the Lakers favor.
Lil Billy is always watching. But I also answer to William, or Mr. Ouma
Lakers Lakers going to put them boys on the sweep broom 🧹🧹🧹🧹
you know.. this kind of 'suspension penalty' is against the whole team as well as the fans and the franchise as a whole. what did they do wrong? not being quick enough to force him to behave in a split second brain fade? he ignored the person who had a hand in front of him, holding him back. it needs to be an individual penalty and the only thing these guys and their egos seem to respect is their money. amazing how well behaved Kyrie has been since he is trying to get a max contract at the end of this season. ja apologised quicker than he could pull out his g*(. fine them a large % of their wages. make it clear that repeated infractions will hurt more and more and it will limit their ability to get that 'max' contract. a lot of other sports, you will become ineligible for individual awards if you offend in this way.
This was probably agreed to with the players . Its not 1 n done. Rudy needs to shut up rebound and do the dirty work his offense isnt it.
They'd be gone in four games get the broom ready 💪🧹☝️
They should trade gobert and Kat
This dude is a clown he coughs on his teammate during covid and laughs about it .Now he socks is teammate he needs to be banned from nba
He hit the guy in the shoulder with an open hand…. this is a weak a** suspension for sports
Why do all these brothers try to discredit what Max is trying to say always? Keyshawn always use his Football way of thinking into all sport issues, why can Max use Boxing the same way?
Yall notice that lady (trainer or assistant) was holding back Rudy's arm BEFORE the punch?
Healthy KD is on par with Giannis not way ahead like Max seems to be suggesting..
Little Billy is also watching d Wade's son become a girl right before his eyes…. Gotta be kidding me here
Bro I love Max 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m with you key cold thing about it is Rudy is Soft 😂
They can still possibly get the 8 seed folks
I mean Aaron Donald chokes his teammates and ESPN says nothing about it because he’s the best at what he does lol but if it was any other player he’d be cut, fined, and suspended. Since Rudy is part of one of the worst trades ever then ESPN is gunna blow this up.
Keyshawn is always wrong. I do. to enjoy his commentary.
Max saying KD is twice as good as LeBron or Giannis is disgusting 🤢. This fascination with guys that are able to shoot is insane. KD is a better shooter and shot blocker. LeBron is a better passer/playmaker, rebounder, transition scorer, finisher, post scorer, and leader. Don't even get me started on Giannis. He's better than KD easily
What if it was just a push in the chest? It was hardly a punch at all. He basically shoved him in the chest. Lame suspension
Was at training camp there was a full on fight! No uproar no mention of it just part of sports. Welcome to 2023 this is a story
Ant this is why Stephen A. got tired of Max.
What gets me was the reaction of the some of the other team members. Couple guys were ready to jump all over Gobert. I love Rudy. I think he is a phenomenal defender and he definitely changes the way other teams have to play. All that said, he appears to be toxic in the locker room. Look at how Mitchell has flourished on a different team. I think Gobert needs to see a therapist. He needs to learn how to not be toxic.
The day is here. It's $h!t on Rudy day.😂😂😂
