Gobert gave his take on the incident, telling The Athletic’s [Jon Krawczynski and Sam Amick](https://theathletic.com/5064856/2023/11/15/rudy-gobert-draymond-green-choke-hold-warriors-timberwolves/) the following regarding Green: “It was a long time, and if he knew how to choke it could have been way worse. His intention was to take me out.”

Lmao holy shit. How long of a suspension for draymond?
so Jim from the Office did go on to be a sports guy…
draymond tried to kill me and everybody saw it
Gobert really said, “You should have aimed for the head”.
If you get choked out on national television by your arch nemesis, I guess the only available response is “shit was weak tho”
Draymond is insane but I don’t think he wanted to make gobert pass out or worse.
gotta show up in a neck brace next time we see him
Bro said “harder, please”
Rudy said “choke me harder 😩”
Nah, he should play it up, enter the arena tonight with a neck brace and face wrap.
Next time they see each other Minnesota should let Gobert take the game off by immediately tackling Draymond preferably during the jump ball.

Don’t know why Rudy would say this, draymond clearly has experience choking. Choked a 3-1 lead after all
He should have fake passed out to get his ass suspended for the year.
He should have said “Draymond is old now. If he remembered how to choke like in 2016 that would have been worse.”
Yooooo… I love this!
Gobert is really enjoying taunting green’s behavior.
​
Deep down Draymond knows he’s right, too – about Dray not wanting to play without Steph, about everything.
​
>!Fuck Draymond Green!<
Gobert is eating today. Another mic drop
Gobert grateful he didn’t go for the groin like usual
Draymond who both maliciously “wanted to strangle him” and also didn’t choke him at all
lol, ‘If Dray didn’t suck so bad he might have actually hurt me.’
I know everyone hates on Draymond, but maybe he wasn’t, you know, ACTUALLY trying to strangle another dude to unconsciousness live on national TV?
Gobert is cooking today man. Just W after W after W quotes
So dramatic 🤣
Last time he really choked was 2016 Finals
Try for Draymond to join WWF
Keep cookin Rudy‼️‼️
NBA: “Because Draymond Green made no reasonable action to harm, as admitted by Rudy Gobert, he will simply be served a $25,000 fine.”
Should’ve put him in a half Nelson
Honestly the more Gobert talks about greens perceived intention, the worse the league is going to go down on green. Now that theres a quote saying “his intention was to take me out”, with video evidence of very unnecessary chokehold, the league cant go “wuz akkidnt, 1 game suspns” without huge backlash
Draymond is an angry person and extremely violent. Kerr and the NBA are babying him and they’ll own future violent explosions by Draymond for it.
Fire insult after fire insult.
Let Rudy cook
Next GSW-Wolves game is gonna hit record number of viewers.
Draymond is so unlikable he makes Gobert an r/nba hero. Let that sink in.
Draymond’s next pod gonna be with Ted DiBiase to learn better technique
Dray’s stupid antics are really making me like Rudy more and more haha.
This whole thing is great bc Draymond loves being seen as a villain, but you gotta believe he doesnt enjoy being seen as a joke. Insecurity is always loud, Dray
Wonder why noone breaks this guys jaw when a brawl breaks out. Most punchable face in the league
Is choking someone on public stage grounds for cancelation?
CBT Donkey vs Patient Zero
He purposely didn’t apply the choke because he was just trying to diffuse the situation
