Gilbert Arenas is still coming for Rudy Gobert after the Minnesota Timberwolves player missed a previous playoff game to be present for the birth of his first child.
At first it seemed like Arenas was issuing an apology but he quickly changed his tone and began to throw more shots at Gobert. “Rudy Gobert I apologize to you and your family, to your new born and the mother of the child. You did right by staying home and missing that game. I was wrong I thought you was needed,” he laughs. “They didn’t need you, your family needed you because the defense you playing out here is probably the same sh*t you was doing in that hospital…just sitting around.”

He continued, “So I apologize for putting that kind of responsibility on you. You know, delivering babies then going to play a basketball game because unfortunately this is not your sport and they keep rewarding you like it is. I apologize for putting that kind of responsibility on you.”
As we previously shared, The Defensive Player of the Year was absent for the second game in Denver as he had just welcomed his first child with his wife on Monday morning. Unfortunately, turbulent weather in Colorado prevented him from being able to catch the flight from Minnesota. Despite Gobert not being present for the game the Timberwolves were still able to pull off the win.
However, Arenas stated that Gobert made the wrong decision by choosing to be present for the birth of his child instead of playing in the second game of a potentially seven-game series. “It’s a baby bro, it’s gonna be there when you get back,” Arenas stated. “Whatever you think you’re about to do with the baby, he gonna be asleep. I get that you want to be with your wife and smiling and stuff … and, your good NBA healthcare insurance is because he playing.”

After his comments several people on social media began to weigh in on the topic and slam Arenas for making those statements. “There isn’t a single job I would have been okay with missing the birth of my children for. I applaud Rudy Gobert for truly knowing what is important in life. This is loser energy by Gilbert Arenas,” one X user said. “THIS Gilbert Arenas who abandoned his pregnant fiancée without communication for a month?? and moved to a new city without even telling his kids goodbye? Of course he’d say that. He doesn’t know shit about sh*t. Goofy a**,” another person added.
