Rudy Gobert Responds to Shaq’s Disrespectful Post

Rudy Gobert and Shaquille O'Neal had a pretend fight

Former NBA player Shaquille O’Neal must be at the point in his life where he hates on young NBA players. The legendary big man went on Instagram to point out just how badly he’d destroy Rudy Gobert if they ever matched up. This was in response to Rudy’s recent 5 year, $205 million dollar extension.

Shaq was obviously not too happy about Rudy Gobert’s big payday. See his post below:

Now Rudy Gobert has responded:

“There is no beef,” Gobert said. “If people wanna keep speaking negatively about me or keep discrediting what i do it’s on them and all that does is show who they are. I will always be happy for a brother beating the odds. And I’m gonna keep beating the odds.”

Sounds like Rudy Gobert is taking the high road, and doesn’t want to drag this non-fight with Shaquille O’Neal out any further. Smart move.
