2. Say what you want, Rudy got some aura. “The court doesn’t lie” is just generational

3. This has gotta be one of the most badass quotes I’ve ever seen a player give

4. Gobert’s maturity is so visible in this quote

5. The numbers don’t lie. And they spell disaster for you!

6. Bro, why you throwing rocks at dogs at all?!

7. Sounds like a guy who didn’t collect enough rocks

8. At least Wemby respects him.

9. -man who consistently throws rocks at every dog that barks

10. I want him to get a chip while still being a max/top type of player just to see what they haters would say

11. Who throws rocks at dogs? The hell is this dude talking about.

12. People love Mutombo, whose game was near identical.

13. OK. But, in someone else’s journey you may be the dog that barks, not the traveler.

14. “that’s my favorite saying” -LeBron probably

15. Is the destination rolling in money and getting Instagram models pregnant? I… think it is?

16. I’d like to say that this probably makes more sense in French, but knowing Rudy, it probably doesn’t…

17. Is that a saying though?

18. [deleted]

19. Draymond is about to drop an emergency podcast

20. Who let the dogs out?

21. How the fuck do you think he deals with it? Well I think he deals with it driving whatever fancy cars he has, sleeping in his mansion…looking at his bank account when he wakes up for a good vibe to start the day before having Fruit Loops for breakfast haha I think he deals with it well.

22. There was the option of working on his comically bad weaknesses, but fuck that let’s instead compare critics to dogs.

23. That is not a saying.

24. I just don’t like watching him play

25. Rudy!! Ignore it and count that money

26. “When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.”

27. Ask him if he plans to further develop his offensive scoring game

28. sadly that’s a BAR

29. Must be a French saying

30. FUCKKK… You’re telling me this whole time I wasn’t supposed to be throwing rocks at dogs?

31. FWIW, It’s Winston Churchill:

    > [“You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks”

    Gobert couldn’t even get the phrasing right, huge L!

32. I love the difference between Rudy complaining about other guys awards and other guys complaining about Rudy’s awards

33. Only the squares criticize him.

34. First this guy fucks a bat and everyone got COVID. Now he’s talking about dogs. Can we please just keep him away from anything with a bootyhole?

35. He left out the last and best part of the quote where you *can* get toasted in the final possessions of big games

36. The way you get rid of the criticism is to win an NBA championship!
    Until that time, expect more of the same.

37. It’s also just generally good not to throw rocks at dogs at all.

38. He throws rocks at barking dogs? Jeez what an asshole.
