People love attacking Rudy Gobert these days. The latest was Fox Sports 1’s Skip Bayless, co-host of the morning show “Undisputed” with Shannon Sharpe.
Rudy Gobert says he would've "locked" Shaq up:
"Rudy, you are barking up the biggest, wrongest tree. Shaq was the most dominating offensive force in the history of this league." — @RealSkipBayless pic.twitter.com/082mkNdhdr

We all know former NBA players have taken their shots at Gobert. Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal is a repeat offender on this list. But, Shaq was a dominant force for years, has four NBA Championship rings, and knows how to compete with some of history’s best big men down beneath the rim where sweat and words fly like Brittany Mahomes opened a victory bottle of champagne.
But, when a talking head like Skip Bayless foams at the mouth? It’s a different ballgame to Rudy Gobert.

Gobert didn’t take long to respond via Twitter…

The Utah Jazz big man also wondered if people would speak like Bayless did if they were standing in the same room face to face. He brings up a good point regarding today’s internet emboldened hot-takers…
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… https://t.co/YZ0wjwtuE3

Today’s society often exhibits a reluctance to think about consequences. One has to wonder, if in the same room, would Rudy react to Skip like Mike Tyson did recently to a drunken plane passenger feeling invincible?
The Twitter handle of @TMZ captured the gist of what many of us hope happens to these loud mouthed, hot take, low content talking heads some day…
