Lil Wayne Defends Rudy Gobert Against Criticism from NBA Fans and Analysts

Lil Wayne is making headlines once again, this time for coming to the defense of NBA player Rudy Gobert after some critics claimed he was being “cooked” by Nikola Jokić in the playoffs. The rapper and basketball enthusiast shared his thoughts in a video on social media following Gobert’s team’s loss to Jokić’s Denver Nuggets.

Despite Jokić’s impressive performance in game five of the Western Conference semifinals, where he scored 40 points, 13 assists, and seven rebounds, Lil Wayne stood up for Gobert. He praised the Defensive Player of the Year for his efforts on the court and highlighted the fact that Gobert had just become a father, emphasizing the personal challenges he may be facing.

The rapper’s comments seemed to be a response to Draymond Green, who had criticized Gobert during TNT’s coverage of the game. Green had claimed that Jokić was embarrassing Gobert and that the Frenchman was not living up to his Defensive Player of the Year title.

Social media was also abuzz with commentary on Gobert’s performance, with some questioning his abilities and others praising Jokić for his dominance on the court. Despite the criticism, Lil Wayne made it clear that he believed Gobert deserved respect for his efforts.

This is not the first time Lil Wayne has made waves in the sports world, as he previously called out the Los Angeles Lakers for their treatment of him at a game earlier this year. With his passion for both music and sports, Lil Wayne continues to be a vocal and engaging figure in the world of entertainment.
