- Rudy Gobert was not selected as an NBA All-Star this season
- His crying reaction went viral
- Draymond Green mocked Gobert saying, “I guess I was just raised a little different. That’s just not okay with me.”
Rudy Gobert deserves to be an NBA All-Star. He’s averaging 15.2 points and 12.8 rebounds for the Utah Jazz this season and lost out on a $1-million dollar bonus by not being selected. After hearing of the bad news, he cried.

Was it because he wanted the cred? Was it because he wanted the money? Who cares. It seemed like a dramatic reaction either way, and Draymond Green of the Warriors was quick to rip Gobert.
I guess I should cry too… no Charlotte? 😢😢😢

The two meet tonight for the first time since Gobert was snubbed and Green took to twitter. Sportsbooks have taken the opportunity to add a hilarious prop that might actually provide some value.
Will Draymond Green Be Ejected Against the Jazz?
| Will Draymond Green Get Ejected for any Confrontation with Rudy Gobert on February 12th? | Odds (02/12/19) |
|---|---|
| Yes | +700 |
| No | -1600 |
Let’s just cross out betting on “No” with odds of -1600. Betting “Yes”, on the other hand, is mighty intriguing. Is it out of the realm of possibility for Green to take things too far tonight? Absolutely not. Especially with the referees sure to have been warned to watch for any confrontation between the two big men.
With playoff races in full swing, the pair may be on their best behavior early but that doesn’t mean they can make it the whole 48 minutes.
The way I see it, you have two opportunities to win the bet. Right out of the gate they get after it or the game is out of hand late and Green crosses the line trying to goof on Gobert. The Warriors have won four straight by an average of more than 16 points per, so the reality they win this one by a wide margin is very real. With playoff races in full swing, the pair may be on their best behavior early but that doesn’t mean they can make it the whole 48 minutes.
Oddsmakers also released odds on the chances Gobert gets tossed, and his line is even more inviting.
Will Rudy Gobert Be Ejected Against the Warriors?
| Will Rudy Gobert Get Ejected for any Confrontation with Draymond Green on February 12th? | Odds (02/12/19) |
|---|---|
| Yes | +750 |
| No | -2000 |
If you’re betting on one to get chased, might as well double down and go for it all. It seems likely if the referees have had enough and they send one to the showers early, they’ll opt on the side of caution and send them both.
Bet on Both Green and Gobert to Get Ejected
What fun is there in betting there won’t be fireworks? It’s the NBA, where headline-stealing events seem to be happening every single night. Bet both to get ejected and enjoy watching three things tonight: The Warriors, the Jazz and the Refs.
Pick: Both Green and Gobert Will Get Ejected (+700/+750)
