“Scott Foster is the enemy of NBA players”: NBA fans react after Rudy Gobert handed $100k fine for making money gesture towards match referee

Fans on the social media reacted after news of Rudy Gobert being handed a fine of $100,000 for making money gestures towards match referee.

The Minnesota Timberwolves centre made money signs towards the match referee during their defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After the match, Gobert admitted that his reaction could cost him and stated that he was ready to be the bad guy.

"I'll bite the bullet again," he said back then. "I'll be the bad guy. I'll take the fine, but I think it's hurting our game. I know the betting and all that is becoming bigger and bigger, but it shouldn't feel that way.

"My reaction, which I think was the truth, but it wasn't the time to react that way. It cost my team the game. It was an immature reaction. It's not just one call. Everyone makes mistakes, but when it's over and over and over again, of course it's frustrating."

In the most recent development, Gobert was handed a fine of $100,000 by the NBA for making those gestures.

The development did not go down well with the fans on social media who expressed their anger on X — previously known as Twitter. One fan even went on to accuse Scott Foster who was officiating that match that he is an ‘enemy’ of NBA players.
